store_n of_o such_o yet_o be_v our_o man_n of_o war_n general_o fill_v with_o such_o captain_n and_o officer_n as_o few_o merchant_n will_v intrust_v with_o a_o ship_n of_o two_o hundred_o tun._n and_o i_o find_v it_o the_o common_a opinion_n of_o most_o seaman_n and_o merchant_n i_o have_v discourse_v with_o and_o i_o have_v discourse_v with_o many_o on_o purpose_n that_o there_o be_v but_o

our_o minister_n of_o state_n so_o for_o aught_o i_o can_v perceive_v it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o our_o merchant_n and_o seaman_n that_o the_o commissioner_n themselves_o be_v they_o who_o they_o will_v for_o i_o know_v none_o of_o they_o be_v as_o ill_o qualify_v for_o their_o undertake_n as_o the_o officer_n they_o employ_v and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o skill_n

to_o they_o of_o very_o able_a seaman_n for_o captain_n and_o officer_n who_o be_v very_o ready_a to_o have_v serve_v their_o king_n and_o country_n and_o the_o common_a cause_n though_o want_v not_o employment_n or_o estate_n they_o will_v neither_o purchase_v nor_o petition_n for_o any_o such_o yet_o be_v all_o neglect_a that_o commission_n indeed_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o some_o but_o so_o far_o beneath_o their_o quality_n that_o it_o may_v be_v think_v rather_o a_o trick_n to_o affront_v they_o and_o make_v they_o refuse_v and_o then_o pretend_v they_o will_v not_o serve_v than_o any_o honest_a intention_n to_o employ_v they_o that_o other_o who_o have_v be_v encourage_v to_o raise_v man_n when_o they_o have_v raise_v they_o and_o bring_v they_o up_o at_o no_o little_a charge_n

therefore_o since_o such_o thing_n be_v talk_v on_o it_o be_v fit_a they_o shall_v be_v look_v into_o that_o if_o upon_o a_o honest_a inquiry_n they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v true_a they_o may_v be_v

punishment_n of_o what_o be_v past_a it_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o look_v back_o into_o the_o behaviour_n of_o some_o of_o our_o gentleman_n the_o former_a summer_n and_o particular_o among_o the_o

and_o not_o easy_o persuade_v to_o act_v in_o a_o doubtful_a case_n when_o without_o doubt_n they_o may_v lawful_o abstain_v and_o therefore_o they_o who_o be_v easy_o persuade_v to_o it_o upon_o a_o

to_o be_v another_o motive_n to_o they_o to_o abstain_v even_o out_o of_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n if_o they_o have_v any_o for_o he_o and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o he_o have_v the_o less_o

these_o several_a sort_n of_o person_n be_v most_o of_o they_o of_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n clergy_n or_o citizen_n of_o some_o particular_a city_n or_o officer_n in_o our_o fleet_n and_o army_n
