A35156	England's glory reviv'd, demonstrated in several propositions shewing an easie and speedy method for fully manning the Royal Navy with saylers, without charge or obstruction to trade : as likewise reasons proving from whence all our losses have happen'd, with proper remedies for the better securing of trade for the future : by making due provision for all saylers that shall be wounded (or the widows and children of such of them as shall be slain) in the publick service, and the building of hospitals ... : as likewise propositions for an act of tonnage / by Robert Crosfeild.

ship_n and_o sailor_n who_o bring_v the_o riches_n into_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o conceive_v we_o have_v be_v much_o want_v to_o ourselves_o in_o not_o make_v due_a provision_n for_o the_o sailor_n therefore_o judge_v it_o a_o thing_n high_o necessary_a to_o be_v look_v into_o be_v that_o which_o will_v great_o promote_v navigation_n and_o increase_v their_o number_n and_o as_o the_o roman_n be_v sedulous_a in_o take_v care_n to_o provide_v for_o their_o soldiery_n so_o much_o the_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o study_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o sailor_n upon_o who_o the_o welfare_n of_o these_o kingdom_n do_v very_o much_o depend_v the_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v to_o propose_v on_o their_o hebalf_n be_v that_o such_o of_o they_o as_o shall_v lose_v their_o limb_n or_o be_v maim_v in_o the_o public_a service_n or_o in_o defence_n of_o our_o ship_n of_o trade_n and_o so_o make_v uncapable_a of_o get_v their_o livelihood_n may_v have_v due_a provision_n make_v for_o they_o during_o life_n and_o to_o be_v punctual_o pay_v quarterly_a which_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o inducement_n to_o man_n to_o be_v bold_a and_o brave_a on_o board_n the_o royal_a navy_n but_o it_o will_v likewise_o make_v they_o resolute_a in_o defence_n of_o our_o merchantman_n as_o know_v if_o they_o have_v the_o misfortune_n to_o be_v maim_a or_o lose_v their_o limb_n they_o shall_v have_v a_o competent_a provision_n make_v for_o they_o and_o i_o will_v humble_o propose_v to_o extend_v this_o so_o far_o that_o if_o any_o man_n be_v slay_v and_o leave_v a_o wife_n and_o two_o or_o three_o child_n behind_o he_o as_o it_o may_v be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o they_o shall_v receive_v the_o same_o pension_n for_o seven_o year_n as_o if_o he_o be_v live_v and_o all_o this_o may_v be_v do_v without_o any_o charge_n to_o the_o government_n and_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v will_v have_v no_o just_a cause_n of_o complaint_n so_o that_o this_o will_v plain_o be_v a_o inducement_n to_o many_o thousand_o of_o people_n to_o take_v to_o the_o sea_n who_o be_v now_o afraid_a of_o it_o for_o fear_v of_o lose_v their_o limb_n and_o become_a vagabond_n whereas_o on_o shore_n they_o live_v free_a from_o any_o such_o danger_n but_o if_o such_o provision_n be_v make_v that_o obstacle_n will_v be_v remove_v and_o i_o not_o only_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o a_o action_n humane_a and_o christian_n to_o make_v provision_n for_o such_o as_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o do_v it_o themselves_o and_o i_o do_v apprehend_v there_o will_v much_o good_a and_o many_o advantage_n arise_v from_o this_o charity_n much_o more_o than_o be_v to_o be_v discern_v at_o first_o sight_n and_o will_v have_v a_o great_a influence_n many_o way_n by_o it_o many_o merchant_n man_n will_v be_v prevent_v fall_v into_o the_o enemy_n hand_n for_o as_o thing_n now_o stand_v the_o sailor_n can_v have_v little_a courage_n to_o fight_v and_o oppose_v the_o enemy_n know_v if_o they_o be_v maim_a they_o be_v utter_o ruin_v notwithstanding_o they_o do_v beat_v off_o the_o enemy_n for_o if_o the_o owner_n do_v but_o pay_v they_o their_o wage_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o certain_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a hardship_n in_o the_o world_n than_o these_o poor_a man_n case_n be_v who_o by_o their_o courage_n and_o bravery_n often_o preserve_v the_o merchant_n effect_n and_o bring_v great_a riches_n into_o the_o kingdom_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v there_o unhappy_a fate_n to_o lose_v their_o limb_n and_o by_o it_o be_v ever_o after_o make_v miserable_a this_o be_v too_o much_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o truth_n and_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v the_o apprehension_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o make_v many_o ship_n resign_v to_o the_o enemy_n as_o know_v the_o great_a loss_n be_v their_o wage_n and_o they_o will_v not_o venture_v their_o limb_n for_o other_o men._n there_o be_v just_a reason_n to_o believe_v this_o for_o we_o have_v many_o instance_n of_o some_o of_o our_o ship_n who_o have_v defend_v themselves_o from_o the_o algerines_n and_o other_o pirate_n to_o admiration_n and_o brave_o acquit_v themselves_o from_o they_o to_o their_o great_a honour_n and_o advantage_n of_o their_o merchant_n and_o owner_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o love_n to_o they_o as_o kindness_n to_o themselves_o that_o make_v they_o so_o resolute_a be_v sensible_a what_o misery_n they_o shall_v undergo_v if_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v so_o we_o see_v the_o apprehension_n of_o misery_n will_v make_v man_n stout_a and_o reward_n will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n but_o if_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v take_v by_o our_o enemy_n privateer_n they_o have_v now_o no_o such_o fear_n upon_o they_o and_o their_o loss_n not_o great_a so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o venture_v their_o life_n to_o that_o degree_n they_o may_v and_o ought_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o public_a only_o for_o want_v of_o that_o due_a encouragement_n that_o man_n shall_v have_v and_o if_o there_o be_v such_o provision_n make_v for_o they_o no_o man_n under_o the_o cope_n of_o heaven_n will_v be_v more_o bold_a and_o brave_a and_o it_o be_v but_o for_o bread_n that_o these_o poor_a man_n plough_v the_o sea_n and_o if_o they_o have_v a_o reasonable_a prospect_n of_o enjoy_v that_o they_o will_v fear_v nothing_o and_o we_o can_v grutch_v they_o that_o which_o principal_o proceed_v from_o their_o own_o labour_n and_o thing_n be_v thus_o establish_v upon_o these_o foundation_n will_v be_v a_o extraordinary_a encouragement_n for_o man_n to_o take_v to_o the_o sea_n as_o see_v a_o fair_a prospect_n of_o raise_v themselves_o that_o way_n than_o by_o any_o labour_n or_o service_n by_o land_n have_v this_o assurance_n that_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v maim_a yet_o they_o shall_v not_o want_v which_o be_v that_o which_o man_n general_o fear_v more_o than_o death_n and_o one_o great_a advantage_n may_v be_v make_v to_o the_o public_a by_o this_o be_v pass_v into_o a_o act_n viz._n that_o by_o these_o mean_n that_o all_o sailor_n whatever_o that_o have_v pay_v due_a to_o they_o from_o the_o government_n shall_v relinquish_v one_o moiety_n and_o this_o can_v no_o way_n appear_v any_o hardship_n upon_o they_o for_o what_o man_n be_v there_o under_o their_o

past_a labour_n or_o happen_v to_o be_v maim_v and_o so_o make_v uncapapable_a of_o get_v his_o livelihood_n they_o can_v lay_v no_o claim_n to_o it_o so_o can_v pretend_v no_o title_n to_o it_o therefore_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a they_o shall_v make_v a_o acknowledgement_n to_o the_o government_n for_o pass_v such_o a_o act_n in_o their_o favour_n this_o will_v soon_o reduce_v the_o extravagant_a way_n that_o sailor_n now_o have_v and_o in_o little_a time_n they_o will_v fall_v to_o the_o old_a rate_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v time_n of_o war_n which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a benefit_n to_o all_o coaster_n merchant_n and_o owner_n as_o likewise_o a_o ease_n to_o the_o people_n in_o general_n we_o may_v in_o great_a measure_n judge_v the_o benefit_n that_o may_v be_v reap_v

the_o reader_n i_o here_o present_a to_o your_o view_n some_o proposition_n which_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v of_o use_n to_o the_o public_a and_o posterity_n for_o which_o they_o be_v intend_v but_o as_o i_o have_v handle_v the_o matter_n but_o weak_o though_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o skill_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a through_o the_o whole_a book_n that_o it_o may_v be_v much_o improve_v but_o

to_o appear_v in_o print_n but_o a_o due_a sense_n of_o that_o duty_n which_o i_o owe_v to_o their_o majesty_n and_o my_o native_a country_n for_o i_o be_v under_o much_o and_o great_a reluctancy_n before_o i_o can_v bring_v myself_o to_o a_o resolution_n of_o do_v it_o and_o not_o without_o just_a cause_n for_o i_o be_v not_o breed_v a_o scholar_n nor_o ever_o be_v concern_v either_o in_o

we_o this_o be_v no_o impose_v at_o all_o or_o any_o desire_n i_o have_v of_o be_v advocate_n for_o any_o but_o set_v they_o aside_o and_o calm_o weigh_v and_o consider_v thing_n it_o will_v be_v

it_o be_v the_o press_n ketch_v which_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o this_o and_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o slowness_n and_o difficulty_n they_o meet_v with_o in_o get_v man_n for_o their_o
