took their last Clearing and paid their Charity-Mony All inward bound Ships shall be charg'd to those Ports to which they are bound and if by misfortune some of them fall into the Enemies Hands and their Men Maim'd yet notwithstanding those Men shall have a Right to the Charity and receive it in that Port to which that Vessel was bound I have now done with my Propositions and shall only bring an Example or Two that it may appear how easie the thing will be we may suppose that all Vessels from New-Castle to London that are above One Hundred Tun will have one with another Eight Saylers so here is Twelve Pence to be paid by each Person which is but One Penny Half Penny a Man each Voyage and it 's possible they may make Eight in a Year which is but Twelve Pence a Man for the whole Year Likewise all outward and inward bound Ships that are upwards of One Hundred Tun one with another will have Twelve Saylers on board and Four Shillings to be paid by them which is Four Pence a Man each Voyage which they would chearfully and readily pay And all Owners of Shipping would willingly pay what is charg'd upon the Bottom for by this Act their Men will be made Resolute in defence of their Vessels and it will be a very great Inducement and Incouragement to them to set them out to Sea better Arm'd and Man'd then now they do This would make a great Revenue and which would be a vast help to all the Ports in the Kingdom and the whole Nation would soon feel the happy effects of it But that which would be the Crowning of the Work is That God would then give a Blessing to our Publick Undertakings and send us a durable and lasting Peace A Supplement To the Foregoing PROPOSITIONS IT may be expected I should make an Estimate what Fund may Annually arise towards Building of Hospitals It is a hard Task to perform and without some helps from the Government do conceive that neither I or any one else can make a true Estimate but according to my Apprehension it cannot amount to less than Thirty Thousand Pounds a Year And great things may be done by reason of this Fund which will continue as well in Peace as War and great Improvements may be made beyond what I have done which in some measure you may discern but I want time to Explain As that there may and ought Provision to be made for Commanders of the King's Ships or Masters of Vessels that are fallen to decay that have behav'd themselves Honourably and deserv'd well of the State suitable to their Merits and such Persons to be Governors of the several Hospitals And others that have behav'd themselves well and in defence of their Ships and done something that 's Great and deserves Praise and Imitation and wants not this Charity these to be Presented with a Gold Chain and Medal with some Motto suitable to the Action and this shall be put on in the presence of the Overseers and after this he shall ever have the power to Act as a Trustee in all the Ports of the Kingdom and for One Year shall have the Honour to be admitted to act as an Over seer and have an equal Vote And likewise it will be necessary to put out the Children of such Commanders or Masters of Ships that are either slain or Maim'd but this Power must be lodg'd in the Over-seers otherways there will be great Corruption and abuses in this Affair And when it s fix'd and settled by Act of Parliament then will it by consequence greatly improve the Trade of the Nation and the Revenue of the Crown and increase the number of Shipping and Saylers Then will not the Gentry and middle sort of People be so greatly averse to the bringing up their Children Saylers as now they are but it 's through a wrong notion they have of things that makes them have such mean thoughts of Sea-Imployments neither are they so terrible and frightful as some apprehend We see the generality of People that give their Children Competent Fortunes put them out to Shop-keeping Trades or Handicrafts by which means they are made so numerous that Trade cannot support all and Men thereby fall to decay and Seeing Ruin hanging over their Heads run into excess and so hasten their downfall and it may be in a few years return to their Friends to be kept and bring a Wife and two or three Children to boot there are multitudes of Instances of the Truth of this which must certainly be a great affliction to the Parent and a continual Eye-sore and Vexation to him and the Poor ruin'd Man receives the Scorn and Frowns of his Friends which he 's forced to disgest pierce although it his very Reins so he lingers out a miserable ignominous Life And he may be said to Die Daily for there are many Afflictions more Bitter and Sharp than Death it self Therefore if Gentlemen would but bring up their younger Sons to learn Navigation and afterwards put them for two or three years to a Captain of one of the King's Men of War or to some Eminent Master of a Ship that he may understand the Duty of a Sayler then would his Coat sit never the worse upon his Back but the better when he 's grown Man and then will he be qualified for his Princes service or at least need not fear having a good Ship and of raising his Fortune But if he should happen to fall either in the Publick Service or in Defence of our Ships of Trade he certainly dies Brave and brings not a blemish upon his Family but is an Ornament to the same and if he should not have got an Estate or have lost one there will be decent Provision made for his Wife and Children and it can be no dishonour for any to receive it it being adjudg'd by the Law to be a just Merit Therefore had I much rather my Child should die in the Bed of Honour or in a Storm than live and linger out a miserable Ignominious Life PROPOSITIONS Humbly Offer'd for An Act of Parliament To be Made For Laying a Duty of Tunnage UPON SHIPPING WHen the Kingdom is ingag'd in War it s not only requisite but equitable that all Persons according to their several Degrees and Qualities should contribute to the Immergencies of the State all due Regard being first had to Husbandry and Trade and wherein things do not obstruct or Impeed either it s but reasonable And indeed there are many whose Estates and Effects lie in Shipping who have no ways yet contributed any thing to the Publick during the whole Course of this War and who are under good circumstances and capable of paying Taxes proportionable to the Rest of the King's Subjects and no Injury thereby done They may its true plead they are at great Charge to the Light-houses and by Convoy mony which is no hardship upon them it being brought in upon
