for_o i_o to_o write_v the_o multitude_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o they_o and_o their_o family_n since_o but_o i_o may_v say_v as_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a concern_v the_o destruction_n of_o

since_o there_o be_v eighteen_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o thousand_o pound_n due_a at_o michaelmas_n 1697_o for_o wage_n to_o the_o fleet._n but_o i_o will_v humble_o entreat_v their_o honour_n to_o consider_v that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o seaman_n in_o our_o fleet_n and_o ship_n in_o our_o fleet_n be_v much_o more_o than_o ever_o before_o and_o perhaps_o a_o quarter_n more_o than_o need_v if_o they_o have_v be_v lead_v on_o to_o fight_v by_o their_o manager_n as_o in_o other_o age_n and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v suppose_v because_o there_o be_v about_o 37_o ship_n pay_v off_o the_o very_a last_o winter_n although_o the_o recall_v be_v never_o pay_v which_o perhaps_o be_v twice_o or_o three_o time_n as_o much_o and_o because_o there_o have_v be_v it_o may_v be_v twenty_o or_o thirty_o ship_n pay_v this_o year_n though_o by_o the_o way_n many_o of_o they_o have_v above_o a_o year_n and_o quarter_n pay_v due_a still_o of_o the_o new_a and_o some_o of_o they_o several_a year_n of_o the_o old_a but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v suppose_v the_o fleet_n pay_v off_o when_o as_o there_o be_v about_o 160_o ship_n employ_v as_o your_o honour_n will_v sin_v and_o if_o forty_o ship_n pay_v in_o a_o year_n will_v be_v four_o year_n in_o pay_v at_o that_o rate_n and_o yet_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n to_o pay_v off_o ten_o ship_n every_o 12_o or_o 13_o week_n and_o at_o that_o rate_n of_o pay_v off_o thirty_o or_o forty_o ship_n in_o the_o year_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v two_o or_o three_o year_n make_v in_o payment_n of_o they_o off_o and_o then_o for_o the_o recall_v of_o the_o hundred_o and_o odd_a ship_n un-recalled_n as_o by_o the_o print_a list_n will_v appear_v if_o they_o begin_v to_o recall_v they_o and_o pay_v off_o a_o ship_n every_o week_n it_o must_v be_v above_o two_o year_n time_n in_o pay_v they_o and_o the_o ship_n that_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v pay_v off_o last_o year_n and_o have_v so_o many_o thousand_o now_o leave_v unpaid_a if_o they_o be_v pay_v off_o full_o one_o ship_n in_o a_o week_n will_v be_v near_o another_o year_n work_n so_o that_o unless_o god_n almighty_n put_v it_o into_o your_o honour_n heart_n for_o to_o consider_v their_o ruin_a case_n here_o be_v like_a to_o be_v of_o necessity_n three_o or_o four_o year_n time_n more_o before_o the_o ruin_a beggared_a seaman_n be_v all_o pay_v as_o any_o that_o will_v but_o count_v the_o number_n of_o the_o ship_n aforesaid_a may_v easy_o find_v or_o if_o your_o honour_n will_v but_o count_v the_o more_o than_o two_o million_o of_o wage_n due_a for_o pay_v of_o the_o fleet_n since_o the_o one_a of_o october_n 1697._o and_o what_o be_v pay_v since_o and_o if_o your_o honour_n find_v that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v above_o seven_o or_o eight_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n pay_v in_o the_o year_n 1697._o and_o 1698._o then_o at_o that_o rate_n consider_v the_o great_a number_n of_o ship_n pretend_v to_o be_v pay_v that_o have_v above_o a_o year_n and_o a_o quarter_n pay_v already_o and_o the_o grow_a pay_n come_v due_a it_o will_v require_v 3_o or_o 4_o year_n time_n to_o pay_v they_o off_o at_o that_o rate_n which_o will_v be_v misery_n to_o misery_n and_o ruin_n to_o ruin_n and_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v that_o the_o army_n must_v be_v pay_v off_o first_o to_o that_o i_o will_v humble_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o honourable_a
