on_o it_o to_o be_v two_o hundred_o thousand_o misery_n to_o their_o family_n many_o have_v spend_v near_o half_a the_o money_n receive_v in_o go_v sixty_o or_o a_o hundred_o mile_n to_o the_o

to_o common_a justice_n and_o equity_n yea_o to_o common_a moral_a honesty_n and_o prudent_a policy_n for_o the_o seaman_n of_o england_n must_v be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o long_o as_o england_n be_v
