A35156	England's glory reviv'd, demonstrated in several propositions shewing an easie and speedy method for fully manning the Royal Navy with saylers, without charge or obstruction to trade : as likewise reasons proving from whence all our losses have happen'd, with proper remedies for the better securing of trade for the future : by making due provision for all saylers that shall be wounded (or the widows and children of such of them as shall be slain) in the publick service, and the building of hospitals ... : as likewise propositions for an act of tonnage / by Robert Crosfeild.

for_o shall_v he_o have_v fall_v our_o candlestick_n will_v have_v be_v remove_v and_o our_o church_n and_o nation_n have_v become_v a_o prey_n to_o our_o enemy_n but_o god_n of_o his_o wonderful_a

may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v dispute_n in_o the_o church_n and_o man_n have_v different_a conception_n of_o thing_n but_o yet_o we_o find_v they_o be_v still_o guide_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o

with_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o public_a be_v not_o more_o timely_o serve_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v plain_a for_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o sailor_n that_o abscond_v and_o hide_v till_o such_o time_n the_o fleet_n be_v out_o and_o if_o they_o can_v afterward_o use_v the_o coast_v trade_n or_o make_v some_o voyage_n for_o five_o or_o six_o month_n time_n they_o will_v get_v more_o money_n than_o the_o king_n pay_n will_v amount_v to_o in_o the_o whole_a year_n and_o have_v their_o pay_n so_o soon_o as_o their_o voyage_n be_v over_o whereas_o the_o

lose_v their_o limb_n or_o be_v maim_a that_o the_o fate_n of_o they_o general_o be_v that_o they_o become_v vagabond_n notwithstanding_o they_o receive_v the_o king_n pay_v during_o life_n it_o not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a maintenance_n the_o sailor_n thus_o use_v all_o the_o industry_n they_o can_v to_o avoid_v the_o public_a service_n and_o the_o way_n take_v to_o bring_v they_o in_o be_v so_o

be_v consistent_a with_o government_n for_o it_o be_v the_o foreign_a trade_n that_o make_v this_o nation_n potent_a and_o happy_a and_o not_o that_o within_o ourselves_o it_o be_v from_o thence_o all_o our_o riches_n flow_v it_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v the_o bullion_n and_o coin_n into_o the_o kingdom_n beside_o our_o plantation_n abroad_o can_v subsist_v without_o frequent_a supply_n from_o we_o and_o of_o what_o great_a consequence_n they_o be_v i_o need_v not_o say_v and_o it_o be_v our_o outward_a trade_n which_o be_v a_o support_n to_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o if_o that_o be_v long_o obstruct_v they_o must_v languish_v therefore_o if_o any_o hardship_n must_v lie_v upon_o ship_n it_o may_v with_o submission_n i_o
