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.	Hodges, William, Sir, 1645?-1714.	1695 (1695)	Wing H2329; ESTC R2277	51,833	63

that_o go_v well_o and_o come_v well_o will_v pay_v 12_o do_v out_o of_o every_o pound_n towards_o a_o chest_n to_o be_v keep_v for_o that_o purpose_n at_o greenwich_n hospital_n as_o there_o be_v a_o

war_n they_o that_o be_v in_o merchant_n ship_n can_v afford_v to_o pay_v that_o cheerful_o because_o their_o wage_n be_v near_o double_a and_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n it_o may_v be_v but_o 6_o d_o

do_v amount_v to_o more_o as_o it_o may_v if_o gather_v faithful_o all_o over_o the_o nation_n than_o the_o rest_n to_o go_v to_o the_o widow_n of_o poor_a seaman_n or_o to_o age_a seaman_n that_o be_v past_o their_o labour_n and_o it_o be_v as_o great_a pity_n but_o all_o industrious_a seaman_n shall_v be_v encourage_v in_o england_n see_v i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o ever_o in_o all_o my_o life_n i_o hear_v of_o one_o ship_n either_o merchant_n man_n or_o man_n of_o war_n lose_v because_o the_o seaman_n will_v not_o fight_v but_o so_o many_o because_o the_o commander_n will_v not_o

that_o if_o the_o commander●_n will_v not_o fight_v they_o shall_v lose_v as_o aforesaid_a 2_o of_o their_o singer_n and_o be_v sell_v for_o save_v all_o their_o day_n and_o if_o they_o do_v ever_o

they_o see_v we_o have_v a_o admiral_n who_o with_o less_o than_o half_a our_o ship_n do_v beat_v they_o before_o and_o for_o that_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v god_n and_o live_v to_o his_o praise_n and_o now_o to_o say_v something_o to_o save_v his_o majesty_n money_n and_o the_o poor_a seman_n also_o for_o time_n to_o come_v i_o do_v suppose_v it_o will_v be_v needful_a for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o make_v it_o felony_n to_o commit_v these_o transgression_n viz._n 1._o to_o enter_v 40_o man_n name_n in_o a_o ship_n be_v book_n that_o never_o be_v in_o the_o ship_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v big_a this_o to_o be_v felony_n and_o this_o be_v a_o trick_n of_o the_o devil_n masterpiece_n 2._o that_o no_o purser_n or_o captain_n be_v clerk_n or_o any_o other_o do_v give_v a_o list_n of_o 40_o or_o 50_o man_n at_o a_o time_n that_o be_v dead_a or_o run_v away_o that_o so_o though_o the_o king_n have_v be_v cheat_v of_o their_o victual_n he_o may_v not_o be_v cheat_v of_o their_o pay_n and_o though_o the_o purser_n may_v afford_v their_o pay_n cheap_a yet_o i_o wonder_v when_o i_o hear_v one_o purser_n give_v as_o many_o name_n as_o there_o be_v 3_o or_o 400_o l_o worth_n receive_v for_o in_o a_o ship_n and_o the_o foolish_a knave_n have_v but_o 8_o or_o 10_o l_o for_o all_o now_o this_o purser_n and_o they_o that_o do_v find_v power_n aught_o to_o be_v transport_v on_o of_o this_o nation_n that_o the_o climate_n may_v not_o be_v infect_v with_o their_o villainy_n 3._o that_o no_o man_n in_o the_o office_n be_v suffer_v to_o change_v the_o christian_a name_n of_o a_o seaman_n in_o any_o ship_n book_n to_o cheat_v the_o man_n friend_n of_o his_o money_n if_o occasion_n be_v this_o exploit_n look_v like_o the_o art_n of_o juggle_a if_o it_o shall_v be_v practise_v therefore_o shall_v if_o discover_v be_v punish_v 4._o that_o none_o be_v suffer_v to_o keep_v man_n open_a upon_o the_o book_n a_o whole_a voyage_n after_o they_o be_v run_v away_o since_o this_o trick_n and_o those_o beforementioned_a and_o some_o captain_n as_o i_o here_o discover_v to_o have_v many_o hundred_o pound_n worth_a of_o seman_n ticket_n and_o some_o other_o trick_n i_o know_v may_v be_v play_v if_o not_o prevent_v may_v cost_v his_o majesty_n it_o may_v be_v 80000_o l_o the_o year_n and_o cheat_v the_o seaman_n twenty_o thousand_o pound_n to_o make_v it_o up_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n the_o year_n and_o it_o be_v hard_a time_n as_o i_o find_v it_o be_v a_o penny_n save_v will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o a_o peuny_a get_v and_o if_o other_o do_v study_n to_o raise_v so_o much_o it_o be_v their_o ingenuity_n and_o if_o i_o do_v study_n how_o to_o save_v his_o majesty_n and_o the_o nation_n 100000_o l_o the_o year_n it_o may_v be_v a_o service_n for_o the_o nation_n although_o it_o may_v be_v no_o great_a ingenuity_n in_o i_o for_o myself_o because_o i_o be_o not_o like_a to_o get_v any_o profit_n to_o myself_o by_o it_o in_o this_o world_n but_o i_o bless_v god_n who_o enable_v i_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n and_o these_o nation_n as_o cheerful_o and_o hearty_o and_o faithful_o for_o love_n as_o any_o man_n alive_a can_v do_v for_o money_n and_o if_o the_o represent_v these_o last_o or_o any_o other_o knavery_n shall_v cause_v any_o to_o be_v offend_v at_o i_o i_o shall_v wonder_v at_o their_o folly_n and_o madness_n to_o betray_v themselves_o since_o i_o love_v and_o respect_v every_o honest_a loyal_a commander_n and_o officer_n in_o his_o majesty_n service_n and_o every_o honest_a good_a commander_n in_o merchantman_n and_o they_o that_o be_v such_o will_v no_o doubt_n love_v i_o and_o delight_n in_o i_o as_o one_o that_o be_v willing_a that_o every_o man_n of_o their_o profession_n and_o office_n shall_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o the_o same_o and_o to_o get_v praise_n to_o the_o whole_a fraternity_n of_o they_o but_o i_o expect_v that_o those_o who_o be_v sore_o and_o scab_a and_o gall_v will_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v be_v ready_a when_o their_o sore_n be_v touch_v to_o winch_v and_o kick_v although_o i_o name_v no_o person_n i_o wish_v their_o person_n well_o and_o their_o knavery_n and_o villainy_n punish_v and_o they_o make_v better_a and_o i_o only_o represent_v the_o knavery_n and_o if_o they_o will_v be_v so_o foolish_a when_o they_o hear_v it_o by_o their_o anger_n to_o let_v other_o know_v they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n need_v no_o accuser_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o serious_a consideration_n to_o think_v if_o they_o have_v soul_n how_o they_o that_o be_v cheat_n and_o villain_n here_o must_v answer_v it_o hereafter_o and_o i_o wish_v all_o mankind_n well_o and_o know_v no_o man_n alive_a but_o i_o will_v do_v a_o kindness_n to_o if_o it_o lay_v in_o my_o way_n and_o know_v not_o any_o man_n alive_a but_o will_v do_v the_o same_o by_o i_o and_o now_o be_v come_v to_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o i_o give_v up_o this_o and_o my_o soul_n spirit_n body_n and_o all_o my_o family_n and_o all_o my_o affair_n all_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o eternal_a love_n and_o mercy_n of_o our_o most_o gracious_a god_n and_o love_a father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n our_o only_a saviour_n for_o all_o time_n and_o all_o eternity_n amen_n the_o art_n of_o ticket-buying_a or_o the_o way_n to_o help_v to_o ruin_v the_o seaman_n and_o their_o family_n in_o their_o service_n and_o pay_n in_o a_o discourse_n between_o honesty_n poverty_n cruelty_n and_o villainy_n as_o follow_v hsnesty_n this_o trade_n of_o ticket-buying_a do_v seem_v to_o have_v its_o rise_n between_o misery_n and_o cruelty_n or_o between_o cheat_v the_o king_n and_o country_n and_o ruine_v the_o seaman_n in_o their_o pay_n and_o as_o time_n

so_o uncharitable_a as_o to_o reflect_v on_o all_o in_o those_o place_n for_o we_o have_v some_o worthy_a admiral_n and_o commander_n who_o name_n i_o honour_n and_o who_o will_v neither_o abuse_v the_o seaman_n themselves_o neither_o suffer_v their_o officer_n to_o abuse_v they_o and_o for_o every_o honest_a purser_n i_o love_v they_o but_o my_o head_n be_v so_o like_o a_o land-flood_n overflow_a with_o the_o last_o stormy_a time_n of_o misery_n and_o knavery_n that_o some_o of_o it_o will_v overflow_v the_o bank_n before_o i_o can_v get_v any_o material_n ready_a to_o secure_v the_o country_n from_o a_o further_a inundation_n and_o now_o i_o will_v begin_v to_o propose_v some_o material_n that_o i_o do_v suppose_v will_v be_v useful_a in_o order_n for_o security_n for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o that_o which_o be_v useful_a may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o now_o or_o hereafter_o as_o time_n mend_v how_o long_o they_o have_v be_v bad_a god_n know_v but_o i_o remember_v many_o year_n past_a it_o be_v say_v bad_a man_n make_v bad_a time_n how_o it_o be_v now_o must_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o learned_a to_o judge_n and_o it_o be_v say_v bad_a time_n cause_v good_a law_n god_n send_v the_o seaman_n some_o token_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o before_o they_o be_v all_o ruin_a and_o now_o as_o to_o the_o first_o consideration_n of_o the_o seamen_n relief_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v of_o the_o admiralty_n and_o navy-board_n if_o they_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a man_n in_o england_n for_o loyalty_n to_o his_o present_a majesty_n and_o care_n of_o his_o man_n of_o war_n and_o merchant-ship_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o seamen_n life_n and_o pay_v that_o will_v it_o may_v be_v be_v half_o a_o cure_n but_o if_o ever_o there_o shall_v be_v in_o england_n for_o time_n to_o come_v a_o admiralty_n and_o navy-board_n that_o shall_v be_v one_o part_n false_a and_o treacherous_a and_o the_o other_o soft_a and_o easy_a and_o foolish_a to_o be_v lead_v into_o ignorance_n and_o madness_n it_o may_v perhaps_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n to_o put_v in_o several_a cowardly_a sorry_a damn_v officer_n that_o will_v ruin_v and_o drive_v away_o thousand_o of_o seaman_n and_o never_o fight_v one_o enemy_n and_o if_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o good_a commander_n and_o officer_n that_o love_v the_o seaman_n and_o will_v fight_v their_o enemy_n and_o protect_v their_o friend_n they_o may_v be_v tie_v up_o as_o so_o many_o cat_n some_o in_o one_o room_n and_o some_o in_o another_o and_o the_o mouse_n may_v play_v up_o and_o down_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o room_n and_o also_o devour_v half_a the_o victual_n and_o clothes_n in_o some_o room_n and_o be_v never_o hurt_v hardly_o or_o indeed_o in_o plain_a english_a there_o may_v be_v ship_n of_o war_n have_v order_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o down_n and_o their_o enemie_n ship_n may_v come_v within_o twoleague_n of_o they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v snatch_n away_o a_o merchantman_n and_o be_v go_v and_o if_o the_o other_o say_v their_o order_n be_v to_o lie_v there_o and_o they_o must_v not_o break_v their_o order_n that_o may_v serve_v or_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o spuadron_n order_v to_o lie_v before_o dunkirk_n to_o keep_v their_o ship_n from_o come_v out_o and_o the_o french_a do_v start_v out_o and_o we_o have_v no_o order_n to_o follow_v they_o than_o it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v take_v some_o more_o russia_n ship_n i_o think_v they_o take_v four_o russia_n ship_n last_v time_n the_o next_o day_n as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v remember_v and_o i_o deal_v plain_o because_o i_o write_v not_o either_o for_o profit_n praise_n or_o preferment_n and_o so_o will_v do_v as_o a_o lawyer_n or_o physician_n that_o give_v law_n or_o physic_n to_o a_o friend_n free_o give_v the_o best_a advice_n and_o help_v they_o can_v possible_a to_o have_v do_v the_o soon_o and_o perfect_a the_o cure_n effectual_o and_o now_o have_v say_v it_o may_v be_v too_o much_o to_o the_o first_o i_o conclude_v only_o observe_v by_o the_o way_n how_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o citizen_n of_o london_n may_v be_v serve_v when_o we_o put_v our_o child_n to_o nurse_n we_o may_v pay_v the_o best_a price_n in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o nurse_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o honest_a the_o child_n may_v be_v starve_v at_o last_o if_o we_o do_v not_o go_v or_o send_v to_o see_v how_o they_o be_v use_v and_o if_o there_o be_v good_a milk_n provide_v for_o they_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o the_o nurse_n or_o her_o child_n or_o servant_n yea_o the_o very_a mongril_n dog_n of_o the_o house_n may_v devour_v it_o three_o quarter_n up_o with_o as_o much_o greediness_n as_o ever_o a_o ticket-buyer_n buy_v a_o seaman_n pay_n seven_o pound_n ten_o shilling_n for_o forty_o shilling_n and_o as_o much_o honesty_n as_o ever_o a_o poor_a seaman_n be_v make_v run_v base_o and_o shameful_o out_o of_o his_o pay_n at_o the_o office_n or_o at_o payday_n 2._o therefore_o if_o the_o seaman_n shall_v or_o will_v be_v ever_o encourage_v we_o shall_v look_v back_o to_o the_o justice_n policy_n and_o honesty_n of_o our_o forefather_n who_o use_v to_o pay_v their_o seaman_n their_o money_n on_o shore_n and_o the_o commander_n and_o seaman_n and_o ship_n use_v to_o be_v agree_v together_o to_o fight_v and_o ruin_n and_o destroy_v their_o enemy_n at_o sea_n and_o god_n bless_v their_o honest_a courage_n and_o their_o honest_a pay_n and_o every_o seaman_n life_n then_o lose_v at_o sea_n be_v as_o a_o poisonous_a arrow_n to_o their_o enemy_n they_o kill_v their_o enemy_n and_o destroy_v their_o fleet_n and_o seaman_n and_o they_o that_o live_v come_v in_o and_o be_v pay_v and_o those_o that_o die_v have_v their_o money_n pay_v their_o friend_n and_o bounty-money_n sometime_o also_o and_o this_o do_v business_n and_o there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o which_o of_o they_o show_v most_o courage_n most_o policy_n most_o profit_n or_o most_o loss_n our_o english_a fleet_n neglect_v or_o refuse_v to_o fall_v upon_o the_o french_a fleet_n when_o god_n from_o heaven_n turn_v the_o wind_n fair_a for_o our_o fleet_n to_o fall_v on_o the_o french_a when_o they_o be_v in_o fresh-water-bay_n on_o our_o own_o coast_n when_o in_o all_o likelihood_n god_n that_o give_v we_o the_o wind_n to_o fall_v on_o they_o will_v have_v give_v we_o the_o victory_n and_o then_o we_o may_v have_v ruin_v their_o fleet_n on_o our_o own_o coast_n if_o we_o have_v fight_v as_o our_o english_a ship_n use_v to_o do_v when_o i_o be_v a_o

whole_a cause_n in_o the_o conclusion_n in_o that_o nation_n and_o have_v our_o fleet_n do_v so_o what_o mercy_n have_v england_n enjoy_v to_o have_v see_v the_o french_a fleet_n ruin_v but_o now_o as_o to_o our_o ship_n and_o man_n and_o the_o two_o question_n before_o whether_o it_o be_v great_a profit_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o seaman_n to_o save_v their_o ship_n and_o man_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o of_o lose_v four_o ship_n than_o in_o fight_v our_o enemy_n yard-arm_a and_o yard-arm_a with_o all_o our_o fleet_n after_o the_o old_a english_a way_n of_o fight_v as_o old_a blake_n and_o old_a dean_n and_o old_a albemarle_n use_v to_o do_v if_o their_o enemy_n be_v twice_o their_o number_n but_o now_o instead_o of_o that_o we_o save_v our_o ship_n and_o man_n then_o and_o lose_v twenty_o

or_o worst_a i_o leave_v to_o those_o who_o have_v more_o skill_n than_o i_o to_o judge_n but_o in_o short_a if_o the_o seaman_n of_o england_n be_v ever_o true_o encourage_v

my_o part_n i_o say_v according_a to_o the_o money_n raise_v there_o can_v never_o have_v be_v better_a pay_n for_o the_o seaman_n in_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o

see_v how_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o general_n can_v answer_v the_o seamen_n be_v leave_v to_o ruin_n for_o first_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v against_o grace_n against_o the_o gracious_a law_n of_o

of_o god_n to_o these_o nation_n who_o do_v by_o a_o miracle_n send_v over_o our_o gracious_a king_n william_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o secure_v our_o religion_n liberty_n and_o property_n and_o if_o the_o nation_n who_o enjoy_v all_o these_o in_o peace_n at_o home_n shall_v let_v the_o seaman_n be_v ruin_v and_o lose_v all_o together_o and_o their_o life_n into_o the_o bargain_n i_o be_o afraid_a christ_n will_v tell_v we_o another_o word_n in_o our_o ear_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v not_o fail_v and_o the_o same_o measure_n man_n mete_v shall_v be_v mete_v to_o they_o again_o and_o so_o much_o to_o their_o be_v manage_v contrary_a to_o grace_n 2._o contrary_n to_o reason_n for_o reason_n tell_v we_o other_o age_n encourage_v their_o seaman_n and_o pay_v they_o on_o shore_n and_o other_o nation_n do_v so_o now_o and_o reason_n may_v tell_v those_o who_o have_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o pay_v on_o board_n that_o the_o seamen_n family_n and_o relation_n have_v not_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o little_a more_o than_o half_a their_o pay_n to_o their_o familie_n comfort_n 3._o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o common_a sense_n to_o think_v that_o if_o seaman_n do_v usual_o die_v great_a part_n where_o they_o be_v keep_v 2_o or_o 3_o year_n on_o board_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v any_o policy_n to_o keep_v they_o until_o they_o die_v rather_o than_o to_o pay_v they_o off_o to_o recruit_v their_o health_n and_o life_n and_o indeed_o who_o can_v be_v ever_o imagine_v to_o come_v free_o into_o that_o service_n where_o nothing_o but_o death_n can_v part_v again_o and_o then_o the_o widow_n deny_v their_o money_n ofttimes_o at_o last_o and_o beside_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o seamen_n life_n there_o be_v extraordinary_a charge_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o no_o

in_o and_o so_o may_v want_v bread_n while_o our_o brave_a commander_n will_v have_v man_n enough_o but_o those_o who_o have_v drive_v away_o the_o seaman_n from_o their_o ship_n and_o can_v have_v

will_v be_v too_o short_a to_o expect_v a_o real_a blessing_n and_o comfortable_a encouragement_n as_o we_o may_v wish_v but_o that_o the_o seaman_n will_v be_v so_o much_o opprese_v and_o the_o

the_o general_a instruction_n print_v and_o give_v to_o the_o captain_n and_o lieutenant_n of_o ship_n by_o the_o admiralty_n be_v mind_v aright_o it_o will_v mend_v many_o thing_n and_o therefore_o deserve_v to_o be_v inquire_v into_o in_o draw_v up_o the_o method_n of_o the_o well-government_n of_o our_o ship_n and_o man_n and_o the_o first_o paragraph_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v due_o

righteousness_n be_v a_o exalt_a nation_n and_o not_o for_o our_o sin_n be_v a_o ruin_a people_n and_o therefore_o 59_o it_o be_v well_o if_o every_o ship_n in_o england_n that_o carry_v but_o ten_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o carry_v that_o excellent_a book_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n doctrine_n the_o book_n of_o homily_n to_o read_v 2_o homily_n every_o sunday_n and_o it_o have_v the_o 39_o

and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o profaneness_n of_o this_o age_n that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n abhor_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a of_o some_o that_o know_v not_o joseph_n so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o great_a wickedness_n of_o this_o age_n that_o it_o be_v from_o such_o as_o know_v not_o

that_o every_o ship_n that_o do_v carry_v 120_o man_n or_o more_o do_v carry_v a_o able_a sober_a minister_n to_o instruct_v the_o seaman_n in_o their_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o to_o reprove_v the_o vice_n of_o any_o one_o in_o the_o ship_n and_o by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o conversation_n to_o show_v to_o they_o that_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o the_o real_a service_n of_o god_n and_o holiness_n and_o against_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o that_o profess_v the_o doctrine_n and_o live_v in_o wickedness_n be_v false_a pretender_n to_o so_o holy_a doctrine_n 61._o and_o therefore_o that_o excellent_a act_n against_o curse_v and_o swear_v if_o well_o execute_v will_v be_v a_o good_a beginning_n and_o a_o good_a help_n towards_o a_o moral_a reformation_n so_o if_o the_o great_a debauchery_n of_o this_o age_n can_v be_v suppress_v it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a help_n towards_o man_n come_n to_o consider_v of_o a_o future_a state_n and_o to_o think_v that_o whatever_o they_o be_v themselves_o at_o present_a yet_o mankind_n be_v create_v to_o live_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o not_o to_o live_v

of_o those_o must_v be_v that_o do_v sin_n against_o the_o light_n of_o the_o same_o and_o will_v not_o regard_v to_o walk_v according_a unto_o it_o and_o now_o have_v say_v this_o i_o will_v return_v again_o to_o another_o encouragement_n i_o think_v there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o although_o the_o seaman_n in_o all_o merchant_n ship_n that_o go_v well_o and_o come_v well_o in_o the_o merchant_n service_n pay_v something_o towards_o the_o same_o and_o that_o be_v 62._o that_o all_o fleet_n of_o merchant_n ship_n shall_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a keep_v company_n and_o stand_v by_o one_o the_o other_o except_o much_o overpower_v and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o there_o be_v 6_o or_o 7_o ship_n take_v out_o of_o 12_o in_o one_o fleet_n by_o 2_o privateer_n therefore_o those_o ship_n that_o will_v not_o fight_v the_o commander_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v public_a example_n 63._o and_o those_o that_o fight_v stout_o as_o brave_a englishman_n to_o be_v encourage_v and_o prefer_v 64._o and_o that_o those_o seaman_n that_o lose_v their_o life_n or_o limb_n in_o merchant_n ship_n shall_v be_v encourage_v and_o have_v bounty-mony_n as_o in_o his_o majesty_n service_n they_o that_o be_v wound_v or_o kill_v there_o have_v but_o now_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v to_o think_v that_o his_o majesty_n shall_v pay_v it_o although_o if_o a_o merchant_n ship_n be_v lose_v it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v lose_v 4000_o l_o custom_n and_o be_v it_o so_o they_o do_v fight_v and_o save_v the_o ship_n and_o good_n if_o there_o be_v 20_o kill_v and_o 10_o wound_v if_o his_o majesty_n pay_v each_o of_o they_o or_o their_o family_n 20_o l_o it_o be_v 200_o l_o and_o his_o majesty_n will_v save_v 3600_o l_o by_o the_o save_a the_o ship_n at_o last_o and_o the_o merchant_n it_o may_v be_v 30000_o l_o by_o the_o bargain_n also_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o merchant_n and_o to_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n to_o save_v our_o ship_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a and_o ruin_v our_o enemy_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a and_o encourage_v our_o seaman_n and_o master_n to_o fight_v to_o save_v the_o ship_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a but_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v that_o any_o merchant_n shall_v be_v so_o barbarous_a or_o master_n so_o uncharitable_a as_o not_o to_o give_v the_o seman_n family_n one_o penny_n of_o eucouragement_n who_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n and_o save_v their_o ship_n and_o sometime_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o that_o have_v be_v force_v to_o go_v to_o law_n for_o their_o wage_n after_o the_o ship_n be_v save_v and_o as_o i_o remember_v a_o customer_n of_o i_o be_v force_v to_o pay_v the_o chirurgeon_n 3_o or_o 4_o l_o to_o cure_v he_o of_o his_o wound_n now_o i_o do_v look_v on_o this_o as_o barbarous_a and_o i_o do_v say_v in_o this_o respect_n the_o service_n of_o his_o majesty_n be_v much_o better_a than_o the_o merchantman_n and_o will_v be_v in_o many_o other_o also_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o fault_n of_o officer_n and_o officer_n of_o divers_a sort_n but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n for_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o happy_a people_n under_o the_o face_n of_o heaven_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o sin_n and_o folly_n and_o bribery_n and_o knavery_n and_o villainy_n of_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o whereby_o

in_o order_n to_o it_o i_o think_v this_o be_v one_o to_o encourage_v all_o seaman_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a to_o preserve_v our_o ship_n and_o one_o way_n be_v that_o as_o i_o say_v whoever_o
