must_v not_o the_o consideration_n of_o all_o these_o together_o have_v distract_v and_o confound_v the_o thought_n resolution_n and_o measure_n of_o any_o sett_n of_o man_n that_o can_v have_v be_v in_o the_o colony_n unless_o they_o have_v unanimous_o resolve_v to_o have_v turn_v pirate_n indeed_o and_o to_o have_v cast_v off_o all_o manner_n of_o loyalty_n and_o obedience_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o in_o that_o same_o case_n they_o must_v have_v resolve_v to_o have_v be_v disowned_a by_o scotland_n as_o well_o as_o by_o england_n and_o if_o so_o pray_v from_o who_o then_o must_v they_o have_v expect_v protection_n and_o here_o i_o can_v suffer_v myself_o to_o pass_v by_o without_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o person_n who_o will_v pretend_v to_o palliate_v or_o skin_n over_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v relate_v to_o those_o proclamation_n upon_o a_o suggestion_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v forsooth_o necessary_o emit_v in_o compliance_n with_o and_o in_o prosecution_n of_o a_o allege_a english_a act_n of_o parliament_n and_o that_o therefore_o any_o particular_a person_n or_o person_n can_v well_o be_v quarrel_v for_o the_o same_o which_o be_v a_o suggestion_n that_o can_v well_o be_v obviate_v without_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o english_a act_n of_o parliament_n and_o but_o few_o people_n here_o have_v occasion_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o they_o i_o reckon_v it_o may_v not_o be_v think_v much_o amiss_o to_o touch_v such_o of_o they_o as_o can_v any_o way_n relate_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n and_o shall_v therefore_o do_v it_o as_o succinct_o as_o i_o can_v every_o body_n know_v that_o by_o the_o english_a act_n of_o navigation_n 12._o car._n 2._o cap._n 18._o it_o be_v enact_v that_o no_o good_n shall_v be_v import_v into_o

commerce_n with_o the_o say_a plantation_n except_o in_o ship_n qualify_v as_o above_o so_o that_o the_o have_v of_o any_o such_o freedom_n be_v what_o the_o company_n never_o contend_v for_o by_o the_o very_a same_o act_n it_o be_v likewise_o special_o enact_v that_o no_o sugar_n tobacco_n cotton-wool_n indicoe_n ginger_n fustick_a or_o any_o other_o die_v wood_n of_o the_o growth_n of_o any_o

on_o pain_n to_o forfeit_v both_o ship_n and_o cargo_n and_o this_o be_v a_o particular_a enumeration_n of_o the_o several_a commodity_n which_o be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o say_a act_n to_o be_v

that_o it_o have_v be_v all_o along_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o such_o master_n as_o sail_v common_o from_o new-england_n new-york_n and_o the_o other_o northernmost_a plantation_n of_o america_n to_o do_v so_o be_v what_o i_o suppose_v none_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o trade_n will_v deny_v and_o though_o upon_o complaint_n make_v in_o the_o year_n 1695_o to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n of_o some_o fraud_n and_o abuse_n commit_v in_o the_o plantation-trade_n contrary_a to_o the_o act_n above-recited_n they_o think_v fit_a to_o superinduce_v some_o new_a act_n with_o very_o strict_a clause_n to_o enforce_v and_o put_v in_o practice_n the_o true_a intent_n and_o mean_v of_o the_o say_v first_o act_n yet_o i_o dare_v adventure_n to_o say_v that_o no_o man_n can_v let_v i_o see_v a_o act_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n lay_v any_o such_o restraint_n on_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o english_a plantation_n in_o america_n as_o that_o they_o can_v carry_v or_o sell_v provision_n to_o any_o foreign_a place_n or_o plantation_n whatsoever_o which_o make_v the_o hardship_n of_o these_o proclamation_n still_o the_o great_a in_o this_o that_o we_o who_o be_v his_o majesty_n own_o subject_n shall_v be_v deny_v the_o common_a benefit_n of_o have_v our_o colony_n supply_v with_o provision_n from_o the_o english_a plantation_n by_o english_a vessel_n in_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o commerce_n while_n at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o neither_o the_o dutch_a at_o curacao_n the_o dane_n at_o st._n thomas_n the_o french_a at_o st._n christopher_n martinico_n petitguavis_n or_o hispaniola_n nor_o the_o portuguese_n at_o the_o maderas_n or_o tessera-island_n be_v ever_o to_o this_o hour_n deny_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o except_o in_o the_o case_n of_o declare_a war_n and_o even_o then_o too_o the_o sell_v they_o provision_n and_o perhaps_o some_o other_o merchandise_n likewise_o be_v often_o wink_v it_o

second_o day_n of_o january_n 1698_o 9_o the_o say_a proclamation_n against_o our_o colony_n be_v publish_v in_o barbados_n and_o jamaica_n in_o the_o month_n of_o april_n and_o in_o all_o the_o

order_n arrive_v at_o new-england_n for_o emit_v and_o publish_v second_v proclamation_n in_o those_o part_n against_o our_o colony_n which_o give_v we_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o like_a order_n be_v send_v to_o all_o the_o other_o plantation_n yet_o such_o as_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v talk_v will_v always_o find_v something_o to_o amuse_v the_o multitude_n withal_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a to_o the_o purpose_n and_o thus_o we_o find_v some_o people_n still_o urge_v that_o notwithstanding_o of_o those_o proclamation_n some_o inhabitant_n in_o the_o english_a plantation_n who_o be_v zealous_a wellwisher_n to_o this_o undertake_n have_v since_o the_o publication_n of_o those_o proclamation_n send_v some_o sloop_n and_o brigantine_n to_o the_o colony_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o proclamation_n be_v not_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o colony_n come_n away_o from_o darien_n but_o that_o the_o same_o proceed_v from_o other_o cause_n and_o that_o if_o the_o

the_o company_n be_v own_o ship_n shall_v arrive_v there_o well!_o all_o this_o be_v very_o plausible_a and_o i_o think_v our_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o company_n be_v very_o much_o behold_v to_o the_o generous_a and_o kind_a inclination_n of_o those_o gentleman_n who_o venture_v any_o part_n of_o their_o own_o interest_n so_o frank_o to_o support_v that_o of_o the_o company_n or_o colony_n but_o as_o it_o happen_v pray_v what_o be_v the_o colony_n the_o better_a for_o it_o do_v any_o of_o those_o sloop_n or_o brigantin_n arrive_v at_o darien_n before_o the_o colony_n departure_n thence_o or_o have_v the_o colony_n so_o much_o

of_o december_n which_o be_v near_o about_o four_o month_n before_o any_o word_n come_v from_o the_o colony_n the_o court_n of_o director_n give_v order_n to_o conclude_v the_o bargain_n for_o the_o say_a ship_n according_a to_o former_a agreement_n and_o to_o fit_v she_o out_o with_o provision_n for_o the_o colony_n with_o all_o possible_a expedition_n but_o the_o ship_n when_o buy_v though_o

which_o accident_n the_o court_n of_o director_n have_v no_o advice_n before_o the_o 11_o day_n of_o april_n and_o the_o loss_n be_v still_o the_o great_a in_o this_o that_o she_o be_v buy_v so_o
