A45103	To the two most honourable Houses, the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, an humble representation of the sad and distressed case of many thousands of their most gratious Majesties loyal seamen, or their widows, aged parents, or other friends or relations and an humble supplication in behalf of all the said distressed and all other the seamen of England and Scotland.

this_o spring_n at_o the_o north_n or_o portsmouth_n because_o of_o send_v out_o the_o fleet_n early_o and_o if_o so_o there_o have_v be_v two_o or_o three_o thousand_o dead_a in_o the_o west-india_n fleet_n this_o year_n and_o many_o thousand_o dead_a or_o discharge_v by_o sickness_n or_o lameness_n or_o otherwise_o or_o turn_v over_o in_o the_o grand_a fleet_n so_o that_o their_o majesty_n will_v have_v a_o continual_a use_n of_o credit_n and_o your_o honour_n now_o you_o be_v inform_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o case_n may_v order_v relief_n as_o your_o honour_n in_o great_a wisdom_n shall_v think_v fit_a and_o i_o will_v in_o behalf_n of_o their_o majesty_n seaman_n humble_o entreat_v your_o honour_n that_o first_o it_o may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o ship_n that_o have_v be_v unpaid_a above_o four_o year_n may_v be_v pay_v first_o and_o so_o every_o ship_n that_o have_v pay_v long_a due_n may_v be_v pay_v next_o second_o and_o that_o a_o new_a list_n may_v be_v put_v up_o of_o all_o the_o ship_n unpaid_a in_o the_o order_n aforesaid_a for_o the_o relief_n of_o the_o say_v distress_a three_o that_o there_o may_v be_v public_a notice_n give_v in_o the_o gazete_a how_o many_o ship_n be_v put_v up_o and_o when_o to_o begin_v the_o same_o and_o so_o every_o month_n to_o give_v notice_n how_o far_o they_o have_v go_v four_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v all_o the_o seman_n widow_n in_o england_n and_o scotland_n may_v give_v a_o near_o guess_v when_o to_o expect_v their_o money_n five_o and_o i_o will_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o say_a widow_n entreat_v your_o honour_n that_o those_o ship_n that_o have_v money_n due_a at_o two_o or_o three_o payment_n that_o be_v that_o have_v be_v pay_v three_o time_n on_o board_n before_o they_o be_v clear_v on_o the_o shoar_n may_v be_v put_v up_o to_o be_v pay_v all_o the_o pay_v due_a in_o each_o ship_n for_o the_o say_v three_o division_n to_o be_v pay_v all_o at_o once_o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o will_v save_v the_o miserable_a distress_a from_o wait_a year_n after_o year_n two_o or_o three_o time_n for_o one_o sum_n of_o money_n six_o if_o this_o method_n be_v take_v it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o put_v new_a life_n into_o the_o seaman_n and_o if_o that_o it_o be_v once_o know_v that_o so_o soon_o as_o their_o majesty_n and_o the_o two_o honourable_a house_n be_v inform_v of_o their_o misery_n that_o they_o have_v relief_n order_v and_o public_a notice_n give_v in_o the_o gazette_n that_o they_o be_v all_o order_v to_o be_v pay_v in_o reasonable_a time_n it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o encourage_v the_o wife_n and_o parent_n and_o master_n of_o the_o seaman_n in_o every_o sea-port-town_n in_o england_n to_o let_v their_o husband_n or_o child_n or_o servant_n go_v free_o into_o their_o majesty_n service_n as_o find_v that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o misfortune_n not_o inform_v of_o that_o cause_v so_o many_o widow_n or_o age_a parent_n to_o be_v unpaid_a but_o that_o now_o come_v life_n come_v death_n or_o come_v turn_v over_o from_o ship_n to_o ship_n still_o their_o majesty_n pay_n be_v the_o most_o safe_a and_o certain_a pay_n in_o england_n and_o none_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o like_a excellence_n for_o certainty_n seven_o and_o i_o will_v humble_o inform_v the_o honourable_a house_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o committee_n appoint_v to_o hear_v the_o grievance_n of_o the_o seaman_n or_o their_o family_n that_o may_v order_v public_a notice_n at_o the_o payoffice_n and_o navy-office_n and_o also_o in_o the_o gazette_n that_o if_o any_o seaman_n have_v be_v either_o cheat_v of_o their_o ticket_n by_o any_o clerk_n of_o their_o ship_n or_o have_v have_v their_o pay_n receive_v wrongful_o or_o their_o ticket_n detain_v wrongful_o or_o be_v trick_v out_o of_o they_o for_o a_o small_a value_n that_o in_o those_o case_n they_o shall_v be_v hear_v free_o and_o have_v justice_n do_v they_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v a_o great_a relief_n to_o many_o and_o also_o be_v encouragement_n to_o all_o the_o seman_n family_n in_o england_n for_o to_o serve_v their_o majesty_n as_o find_v that_o they_o can_v be_v wrong_v without_o it_o be_v their_o own_o fault_n and_o if_o they_o will_v manifest_v their_o wrong_n they_o shall_v have_v what_o relief_n can_v be_v expect_v and_o in_o do_v this_o your_o honour_n will_v also_o save_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o trouble_n to_o their_o majesty_n honourable_a commissioner_n of_o the_o navy_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v interrupt_v with_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o petition_n now_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o so_o much_o business_n of_o a_o great_a nature_n in_o other_o affair_n of_o the_o navy_n eight_o i_o will_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o say_a seaman_n humble_o beg_v that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prevent_v they_o may_v not_o be_v indeed_o simple_o cowardly_a or_o otherwise_o deliver_v up_o to_o the_o french_a as_o the_o jersey_n diamond_n or_o some_o other_o ship_n have_v be_v and_o also_o that_o there_o may_v be_v care_n take_v not_o to_o allow_v any_o officer_n to_o hide_v or_o steal_v powder_n enough_o to_o blow_v they_o up_o as_o the_o exeter_n be_v and_o if_o not_o also_o the_o breda_n and_o that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v so_o many_o ship_n knock_v on_o the_o head_n in_o good_a wether_n as_o the_o windsor-castle_n be_v and_o several_a more_o and_o some_o drown_v whereby_o in_o all_o these_o case_n the_o seaman_n suffer_v loss_n of_o clothes_n if_o not_o of_o life_n and_o liberty_n and_o perhaps_o their_o majesty_n have_v lose_v 30_o or_o 40_o ship_n to_o the_o value_n of_o a_o million_o of_o money_n and_o in_o so_o little_a time_n as_o no_o age_n can_v parallel_v and_o except_v the_o anne_n and_o the_o portsmouth_n and_o perhaps_o ten_o or_o twelve_o more_o most_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v make_v away_o so_o strange_o without_o fair_a valiant_a fight_v as_o brave_a old_a english_a man_n use_v to_o do_v that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v look_v like_o ship_n murder_v i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o and_o if_o your_o honour_n will_v but_o inquire_v into_o it_o perhaps_o i_o may_v give_v you_o most_o of_o the_o ship_n name_n so_o lose_v but_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o find_v the_o reason_n how_o some_o be_v lose_v but_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v i_o if_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n or_o of_o man_n it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v with_o submission_n say_v if_o it_o be_v from_o man_n then_o if_o they_o be_v find_v faulty_a they_o shall_v be_v punish_v and_o if_o from_o heaven_n than_o humiliation_n supplication_n and_o reformation_n be_v the_o way_n to_o prevent_v it_o for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v well_o if_o the_o reverend_a the_o bishop_n will_v send_v a_o sound_n pious_a minister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n into_o every_o man_n of_o war_n to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o sobriety_n and_o good_a conversation_n and_o also_o a_o man_n of_o courage_n to_o reprove_v every_o vice_n he_o have_v opportunity_n convenient_o to_o do_v and_o to_o rebuke_n and_o exhort_v and_o that_o he_o may_v read_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n twice_o every_o day_n and_o also_o read_v two_o homily_n every_o sunday_n out_o of_o that_o most_o excellent_a book_n of_o homily_n worth_a its_o weight_n in_o gold_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v keep_v in_o every_o english_a man_n house_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o king_n edward_n the_o sixths_n day_n and_o in_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o three_o king_n reign_v since_o and_o establish_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o the_o thirty_o nine_o article_n and_o therein_o the_o seaman_n may_v hear_v that_o swear_v and_o curse_v and_o other_o enormity_n be_v thing_n that_o the_o church_n abhor_v and_o that_o sobriety_n virtue_n repentance_n and_o holiness_n be_v not_o novelty_n nor_o fanatical_a but_o the_o real_a fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o such_o as_o all_o that_o own_o the_o church_n aught_o to_o stand_v by_o unless_o they_o pretend_v one_o thing_n and_o do_v another_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v most_o dreadful_a to_o think_v that_o any_o call_v christian_n shall_v night_n and_o day_n be_v call_v on_o god_n to_o damn_v they_o and_o the_o devil_n to_o damn_v they_o as_o if_o they_o think_v they_o can_v not_o have_v it_o time_n enough_o without_o engage_v god_n to_o send_v it_o and_o the_o devil_n to_o execute_v it_o and_o i_o suppose_v all_o the_o history_n of_o the_o heathen_n and_o indian_n can_v parallel_v such_o abominable_a a_o practice_n but_o to_o endeavour_v to_o reform_v this_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o your_o honour_n
