for_o a_o year_n and_o there_o be_v above_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o of_o the_o miserable_a seaman_n run_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n as_o the_o several_a ship_n book_n will_v prove_v which_o be_v thirty_o thousand_o payment_n ruin_v three_o time_n over_o and_o also_o as_o there_o be_v about_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o payment_n more_o due_a that_o be_v not_o make_v run_v if_o they_o be_v not_o pay_v before_o the_o seaman_n by_o linger_a now_o on_o shore_n have_v spend_v it_o or_o take_v ticket_n and_o sell_v for_o half_a loss_n or_o what_o they_o can_v get_v and_o so_o murder_v their_o pay_n and_o starve_v their_o family_n or_o cheat_n and_o ruin_v their_o creditor_n it_o will_v be_v a_o way_n to_o have_v five_o time_n more_o a_o stroke_n of_o ruin_n if_o not_o many_o knock_v down_o with_o it_o but_o i_o say_v have_v these_o thing_n be_v contrive_v by_o our_o enemy_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n aforesaid_a and_o have_v be_v know_v open_o it_o will_v have_v be_v prevent_v but_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o pretend_a friend_n and_o by_o pretend_a policy_n we_o have_v lose_v five_o time_n more_o seman_n life_n this_o war_n and_o that_o the_o most_o part_n without_o fight_v than_o ever_o be_v lose_v at_o sea_n by_o fight_v in_o the_o most_o bloody_a war_n that_o ever_o be_v although_o when_o our_o nation_n be_v at_o war_n with_o the_o dutch_a in_o 1666._o our_o commander_n and_o ship_n fight_v against_o the_o dutch_a like_o so_o many_o fury_n some_o of_o they_o as_o if_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o jesuit_n have_v lay_v a_o plot_n to_o establish_v the_o protestant_a religion_n by_o the_o spuil_a and_o destroy_v of_o two_o of_o the_o most_o potent_a protestant_a nation_n ship_n and_o seaman_n but_o now_o in_o this_o war_n we_o have_v have_v such_o scandalous_a run_v away_o from_o the_o french_a at_o sea_n as_o if_o a_o protestant_a church_n be_v to_o be_v establish_v by_o let_v the_o most_o violent_a persecute_v people_n on_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n crow_n over_o we_o and_o although_o bless_a be_v god_n that_o admiral_n russel_n do_v with_o our_o fleet_n beat_v the_o french_a courageous_o that_o they_o can_v never_o dare_v to_o fight_v we_o since_o yet_o our_o loyal_a and_o faithful_a courageous_a but_o miserable_a seaman_n have_v be_v more_o ruin_v since_o than_o any_o history_n i_o can_v ever_o read_v of_o or_o parallel_v and_o i_o do_v think_v as_o i_o say_v before_o we_o have_v lose_v more_o seman_n life_n without_o fight_v than_o be_v ever_o lose_v in_o our_o english_a fleet_n fight_v since_o the_o day_n of_o william_n the_o conqueror_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o be_o a_o go_v to_o render_v some_o reason_n for_o the_o seman_n be_v honest_o and_o timely_o pay_v this_o may_v be_v the_o first_o that_o as_o their_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n have_v be_v more_o in_o the_o service_n of_o this_o government_n than_o under_o any_o king_n or_o government_n in_o these_o nation_n therefore_o in_o honour_n honesty_n and_o justice_n they_o shall_v now_o be_v honest_o and_o speedy_o pay_v what_o be_v due_a to_o they_o second_o to_o let_v their_o family_n perish_v now_o for_o want_n of_o their_o pay_n will_v be_v against_o grace_n and_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n three_o their_o pay_n be_v so_o prodigious_a great_a can_v never_o be_v pay_v while_o the_o world_n stand_v except_o there_o be_v money_n raise_v on_o purpose_n by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n four_o their_o pay_n be_v as_o beforesaid_a due_a great_a part_n for_o several_a year_n and_o it_o have_v be_v a_o dreadful_a case_n to_o let_v the_o ruine_n perish_v family_n live_v on_o credit_n or_o starve_v so_o long_o and_o if_o it_o be_v several_a year_n more_o as_o it_o must_v be_v without_o a_o considerable_a supply_n it_o will_v be_v not_o only_o like_o misery_n to_o misery_n but_o like_o cruelty_n to_o misery_n five_o though_o there_o be_v some_o million_o of_o money_n due_a to_o other_o in_o england_n beside_o the_o seaman_n yet_o it_o be_v most_o either_o to_o those_o who_o have_v interest_n for_o it_o or_o have_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o it_o if_o not_o all_o by_o the_o

poor_a seaman_n have_v be_v many_o of_o they_o rag_n and_o louse_n and_o poverty_n and_o misery_n to_o they_o and_o the_o starve_v and_o perish_v of_o their_o ruin_a family_n that_o have_v no_o money_n neither_o now_o at_o last_o any_o credit_n and_o if_o they_o have_v they_o pay_v perhaps_o ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o more_o than_o other_o and_o this_o and_o their_o cry_n and_o groan_n to_o god_n angel_n and_o man_n have_v such_o interest_n as_o the_o miserable_a seaman_n meet_v withal_o for_o lie_v out_o of_o their_o money_n for_o their_o faithful_a and_o love_v serve_v this_o government_n six_o the_o let_n of_o the_o seaman_n be_v ruin_v and_o perish_v more_o under_o this_o government_n than_o they_o ever_o do_v in_o any_o age_n of_o the_o world_n in_o so_o few_o year_n seem_v to_o cross_v the_o very_a end_n and_o design_n of_o god_n raise_v up_o this_o government_n which_o be_v for_o to_o deliver_v we_o from_o misery_n and_o slavery_n and_o make_v we_o happy_a and_o

will_v think_v neither_o jesuit_n nor_o jacobite_n nor_o man_n nor_o devil_n can_v prevail_v upon_o we_o to_o run_v and_o destroy_v and_o ruin_v the_o seaman_n and_o their_o family_n more_o than_o
