A44078	Humble proposals for the relief, encouragement, security and happiness of the loyal, couragious seamen of England, in their lives and payment, in the service of our Most Gracious King William, and the defence of these nations humbly presented to the two most Honourable Houses, the Lords and Commons of England, in Parliament assembled / by a faithful subject of His Majesty, and servant to the Parliament and nation, and the seamen of England, in order for safety and security of all aforesaid, W. Hodges ; to which is added, a dialogue concerning the art of ticket-buying, in a discourse between Honesty, Poverty, Cruelty and Villany, concerning that mystery of iniquity, and ruin of the loyal seamen.

keep_a seaman_n on_o board_n and_o pay_v they_o there_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o run_v away_o until_o there_o be_v so_o many_o dead_a and_o go_v that_o there_o be_v dreadful_a tear_v ann_n halling_n in_o city_n and_o country_n and_o the_o very_a waterman_n out_o of_o the_o tiltboat_n that_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o work_v on_o their_o trade_n some_o of_o they_o now_o while_o our_o great_a ship_n be_v so_o many_o lay_v up_o and_o by_o the_o way_n this_o press_v when_o man_n be_v pay_v late_o fright_v away_o some_o hundred_o or_o thousand_o of_o seaman_n whereas_o if_o they_o have_v but_o have_v liberty_n to_o have_v spend_v their_o money_n free_o in_o one_o month_n they_o will_v have_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v go_v again_o i_o have_v hear_v a_o friend_n of_o i_o declare_v solemn_o he_o have_v above_o 20_o lodger_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o house_n go_v away_o to_o their_o own_o country_n not_o dare_v to_o come_v up_o to_o london_n to_o spend_v their_o money_n here_o or_o return_v it_o home_o to_o their_o friend_n and_o if_o so_o many_o be_v sear_v away_o in_o one_o house_n how_o many_o in_o all_o the_o house_n that_o keep_v lodger_n in_o city_n and_o suburb_n therefore_o man_n must_v be_v take_v care_n of_o for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o have_v their_o life_n preserve_v and_o their_o person_n encourage_v or_o if_o not_o i_o fear_v it_o will_v produce_v great_a loss_n and_o damage_n than_o be_v yet_o foresee_v and_o all_o mankind_n that_o know_v the_o sea-affair_n know_v that_o 2_o or_o 3_o year_n keep_v on_o board_n of_o ship_n common_o 3_o fourth_n of_o the_o man_n die_v whereas_o if_o they_o have_v liberty_n and_o fresh_a provision_n and_o land-air_n one_o month_n often_o recruit_n they_o again_o 28._o therefore_o the_o seaman_n to_o be_v encourage_v and_o preserve_v and_o pay_v off_o at_o london_n as_o former_o and_o the_o city_n will_v not_o be_v ruin_v by_o the_o war._n and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v the_o seaman_n will_v then_o go_v in_o merchant-ship_n many_o of_o they_o to_o that_o i_o do_v answer_n if_o their_o life_n be_v preserve_v they_o will_v increase_v as_o fast_o or_o fast_o in_o man_n of_o war_n than_o in_o merchant-ship_n and_o if_o there_o be_v plenty_n wage_n will_v fall_v in_o merchant-ship_n and_o have_v our_o fleet_n increase_v seaman_n as_o it_o be_v expect_v the_o wage_n will_v have_v be_v so_o low_o in_o merchant-ship_n and_o what_o with_o lose_a voyage_n seaman_n will_v have_v strive_v to_o have_v go_v into_o the_o king_n ship_n if_o they_o have_v be_v pay_v off_o in_o every_o ship_n and_o have_v liberty_n but_o when_o they_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o release_n but_o death_n or_o the_o end_n of_o the_o war_n and_o can_v have_v opportunity_n to_o fight_v to_o end_v the_o war_n this_o be_v a_o melancholy_a case_n many_o of_o they_o have_v complain_v they_o want_v to_o fight_v it_o out_o for_o to_o end_v the_o war._n and_o 29._o this_o pay_v the_o seaman_n off_o on_o shore_n yearly_o that_o be_v one_o half_a one_o year_n and_o another_o half_n another_o year_n will_v many_o time_n save_o the_o king_n near_o as_o much_o charge_n in_o small_a ship_n victual_n and_o wage_n while_o as_o our_o ship_n be_v in_o the_o dock_n as_o the_o charge_n of_o mend_v the_o ship_n come_v to_o and_o indeed_o this_o war_n have_v be_v it_o may_v be_v such_o a_o disappointment_n to_o seaman_n as_o the_o world_n never_o know_v some_o commander_n have_v have_v so_o much_o love_n and_o reputation_n and_o care_n as_o to_o have_v man_n to_o man_n a_o ship_n and_o it_o may_v be_v in_o some_o month_n after_o either_o the_o man_n turn_v great_a part_n into_o other_o ship_n or_o the_o commander_n remove_v into_o other_o ship_n so_o that_o if_o a_o thousand_o seaman_n will_v be_v free_o willing_a to_o serve_v under_o such_o brave_a commander_n as_o i_o know_v some_o they_o be_v not_o sure_a but_o in_o a_o month_n they_o may_v exchange_v their_o driver_n and_o by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v observe_v that_o though_o the_o double-pay_a officer_n have_v have_v pay_v suitable_a to_o buy_v two_o cane_n to_o beat_v the_o poor_a seaman_n instead_o of_o one_o whereas_o before_o they_o sometime_o do_v tie_v a_o rope-yarn_n at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o cleft_n stick_v but_o now_o may_v buy_v new_a but_o the_o poor_a seaman_n have_v not_o 1_o s_o the_o month_n more_o all_o this_o war_n to_o buy_v one_o course_n coat_n or_o waistcoat_n to_o keep_v off_o a_o blow_n which_o bring_v i_o to_o another_o paragraph_n that_o be_v 30._o that_o the_o poor_a seaman_n may_v have_v their_o 40_o s_o a_o piece_n for_o clothes_n use_v to_o be_v allow_v they_o if_o the_o ship_n be_v lose_v and_o this_o they_o have_v before_o they_o beat_v the_o french_a and_o before_o that_o they_o enjoy_v some_o comfort_n now_o and_o then_o but_o to_o go_v on_o 31._o no_o seaman_n to_o be_v force_v to_o go_v out_o of_o a_o man_n of_o war_n into_o a_o merchant-ship_n although_o the_o captain_n shall_v have_v several_a pound_n for_o the_o same_o but_o if_o necessity_n require_v the_o lend_v of_o a_o seaman_n or_o two_o to_o a_o merchant_n the_o seaman_n may_v have_v all_o the_o pay_n in_o the_o merchant-ship_n and_o the_o captain_n and_o purser_n to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o victual_n only_o in_o the_o man_n of_o war_n that_o the_o king_n and_o the_o seaman_n be_v not_o both_o cheat_v at_o one_o time_n and_o 32._o the_o seaman_n to_o have_v a_o certificate_n to_o come_v again_o in_o a_o certain_a time_n and_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o press_n until_o then_o 33._o no_o seaman_n to_o be_v make_v wait_n above_o ten_o day_n at_o the_o navy-office_n to_o petition_v for_o to_o have_v a_o q_o or_o r._n take_v off_o but_o if_o whenever_o paid-off_a as_o former_o and_o encourage_v there_o will_v be_v a_o end_n almost_o to_o that_o dreadful_a wretched_a ruine_v and_o destruction_n to_o themselves_o and_o family_n of_o lose_v their_o money_n for_o those_o letter_n be_v set_v on_o by_o any_o wrongful_o and_o therefore_o will_v serve_v the_o king_n cheerful_o 34._o that_o those_o who_o be_v discharge_v fair_a by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n and_o have_v ticket_n sign_v by_o all_o the_o officer_n for_o their_o pay_n may_v not_o be_v cheat_v of_o it_o for_o the_o word_n of_o one_o hard_a heart_a wretche_n pleasure_n the_o seamen_n ruin_n be_v too_o great_a already_o 35._o if_o seaman_n be_v press_v away_o when_o on_o shore_n the_o captain_n that_o command_v the_o ship_n he_o be_v in_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o send_v a_o certificate_n to_o the_o

these_o have_v the_o seaman_n lose_v some_o share_n of_o this_o war_n and_o the_o history_n of_o all_o these_o nation_n can_v parallel_v and_o therefore_o double_a care_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v of_o they_o for_o time_n to_o come_v see_v it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v there_o be_v some_o go_v to_o inquire_v after_o the_o preserve_n of_o those_o thing_n in_o other_o nation_n already_o as_o by_o the_o king_n book_n of_o ship_n come_v home_o this_o year_n may_v be_v see_v something_o 37._o seaman_n press_v out_o of_o merchant-ship_n to_o be_v under_o the_o penalty_n of_o half_a their_o pay_n to_o go_v on_o board_n of_o such_o a_o man_n of_o war_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o then_o to_o have_v liberty_n to_o bring_v up_o the_o merchant-ship_n and_o to_o take_v half_a their_o pay_n and_o sell_v their_o venture_n and_o recruit_v themselves_o a_o few_o day_n to_o recover_v their_o health_n that_o they_o may_v not_o after_o long_a voyage_n infect_v the_o man_n of_o war_n by_o sickness_n and_o when_o they_o be_v go_v on_o board_n that_o man_n of_o war_n to_o have_v a_o certificate_n send_v up_o to_o the_o office_n that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v come_v on_o board_n such_o a_o man_n of_o war_n and_o then_o his_o other_o half_a of_o his_o pay_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o his_o attorney_n and_o if_o he_o go_v not_o on_o board_n the_o man_n of_o war_n or_o if_o she_o be_v order_v away_o soon_o than_o on_o board_n another_o then_o the_o other_o half_a of_o his_o pay_n to_o be_v forfeit_a to_o the_o hospital_n of_o greenwich_n if_o he_o go_v not_o in_o a_o man_n of_o war._n and_o by_o this_o
