worthy_a sir_n i_o receive_v you_o and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o your_o direction_n myself_o with_o some_o other_o have_v make_v it_o our_o business_n to_o procure_v subscription_n to_o a_o petition_n humble_o desire_v our_o captain_n that_o his_o council_n may_v sit_v on_o the_o day_n prefix_v in_o which_o undertake_v we_o have_v not_o be_v a_o little_a discourage_v for_o which_o you_o have_v hardly_o believe_v not_o one_o in_o fifteen_o throughout_o the_o whole_a ship_n will_v subscribe_v nay_o on_o the_o contrary_a some_o there_o be_v on_o board_v we_o who_o instead_o of_o set_v one_o hand_n to_o it_o fail_v not_o to_o use_v both_o and_o tear_v it_o but_o we_o have_v call_v they_o to_o account_v for_o it_o though_o we_o fear_v to_o little_a purpose_n but_o this_o usage_n have_v not_o whole_o dishearten_v we_o for_o by_o fair_a word_n to_o some_o and_o threaten_a speech_n to_o other_o when_o we_o see_v a_o sailor_n in_o quandary_n whether_o he_o shall_v set_v pen_n to_o paper_n or_o no_o we_o tell_v he_o there_o be_v no_o great_a test_n to_o prove_v he_o either_o a_o algerine_n or_o a_o christian_a by_o which_o and_o with_o other_o mean_n we_o have_v muster_v a_o considerable_a number_n of_o hand_n but_o because_o i_o will_v not_o flatter_v your_o expectation_n with_o shadow_n instead_o of_o real_a substance_n to_o deal_v true_o with_o you_o they_o be_v most_o of_o they_o but_o the_o riff-raff_a of_o our_o ship_n but_o such_o as_o they_o be_v some_o half_a a_o score_n of_o our_o principal_a fore-mast-man_n humble_o present_v it_o to_o our_o captain_n but_o bless_v i_o have_v you_o but_o see_v how_o disdainful_o he_o receive_v both_o they_o and_o their_o cable_n length_n of_o scrawle_n for_o indeed_o most_o of_o they_o be_v no_o other_o for_o first_o you_o have_v a_o name_n or_o two_o write_v in_o a_o tolerable_a hand_n but_o then_o three_o or_o four_o mark_n instead_o of_o name_n pursue_v they_o which_o our_o captain_n take_v for_o hebrew_a character_n ●ill_v inquire_v into_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o mark-maker_n he_o be_v inform_v the●_n be_v former_o educate_v in_o the_o art_n of_o button-maker_n tagger_n of_o point_n and_o lace_n and_o such_o like_a manufacture_n who_o the_o frown_a world_n force_v to_o sea_n and_o now_o be_v become_v sailor_n but_o in_o short_a the_o captain_n no_o way_n allow_v of_o our_o proceed_n which_o we_o dare_v not_o own_o to_o our_o ship_n company_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a have_v give_v out_o that_o he_o vouchsafe_v we_o a_o gracious_a answer_n which_o we_o suppose_v have_v wrought_v such_o effect_n that_o within_o few_o day_n we_o doubt_v not_o but_o some_o other_o of_o our_o company_n will_v appear_v in_o the_o like_a cause_n you_o may_v remember_v you_o mention_v two_o pernicious_a passenger_n lie_v on_o board_n we_o in_o our_o great_a cabin_n al●s_n sir_n we_o have_v near_o two_o score_n and_o some_o of_o they_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n in_o particular_a one_o who_o have_v so_o often_o change_v his_o religion_n when_o there_o have_v be_v alteration_n of_o commander_n that_o he_o scarce_o know_v what_o government_n he_o will_v have_v aboard_o we_o beside_o many_o other_o who_o be_v daily_o buzz_v in_o our_o captain_n ear_n that_o be_v we_o not_o assure_v of_o his_o great_a conduct_n some_o of_o they_o ere_o this_o time_n have_v betray_v we_o into_o our_o
