this_o spring_n at_o the_o north_n or_o portsmouth_n because_o of_o send_v out_o the_o fleet_n early_o and_o if_o so_o there_o have_v be_v two_o or_o three_o thousand_o dead_a in_o the_o west-india_n

how_o many_o ship_n be_v put_v up_o and_o when_o to_o begin_v the_o same_o and_o so_o every_o month_n to_o give_v notice_n how_o far_o they_o have_v go_v four_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v all_o the_o seman_n widow_n in_o england_n and_o scotland_n may_v give_v a_o near_o guess_v when_o to_o expect_v their_o money_n five_o and_o i_o will_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o say_a widow_n entreat_v your_o honour_n that_o those_o ship_n that_o have_v money_n due_a at_o two_o or_o three_o payment_n that_o be_v that_o have_v be_v pay_v three_o time_n on_o board_n before_o they_o be_v clear_v on_o the_o

the_o miserable_a distress_a from_o wait_a year_n after_o year_n two_o or_o three_o time_n for_o one_o sum_n of_o money_n six_o if_o this_o method_n be_v take_v it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o put_v

life_n come_v death_n or_o come_v turn_v over_o from_o ship_n to_o ship_n still_o their_o majesty_n pay_n be_v the_o most_o safe_a and_o certain_a pay_n in_o england_n and_o none_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o like_a excellence_n for_o certainty_n seven_o and_o i_o will_v humble_o inform_v the_o honourable_a house_n that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o committee_n appoint_v to_o hear_v the_o grievance_n of_o the_o seaman_n or_o their_o family_n that_o may_v order_v public_a notice_n at_o the_o payoffice_n and_o navy-office_n and_o also_o in_o the_o gazette_n that_o if_o any_o seaman_n have_v be_v either_o

for_o a_o small_a value_n that_o in_o those_o case_n they_o shall_v be_v hear_v free_o and_o have_v justice_n do_v they_o it_o will_v perhaps_o be_v a_o great_a relief_n to_o many_o and_o also_o be_v

they_o will_v manifest_v their_o wrong_n they_o shall_v have_v what_o relief_n can_v be_v expect_v and_o in_o do_v this_o your_o honour_n will_v also_o save_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o trouble_n to_o their_o majesty_n honourable_a commissioner_n of_o the_o navy_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v interrupt_v with_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o petition_n now_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o so_o much_o business_n of_o a_o great_a nature_n in_o other_o affair_n of_o the_o navy_n eight_o i_o will_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o say_a seaman_n humble_o beg_v that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prevent_v they_o may_v not_o be_v indeed_o simple_o cowardly_a or_o otherwise_o deliver_v up_o to_o the_o french_a as_o the_o jersey_n diamond_n or_o some_o other_o ship_n have_v be_v and_o also_o that_o there_o may_v

there_o may_v not_o be_v so_o many_o ship_n knock_v on_o the_o head_n in_o good_a wether_n as_o the_o windsor-castle_n be_v and_o several_a more_o and_o some_o drown_v whereby_o in_o all_o these_o case_n the_o seaman_n suffer_v loss_n of_o clothes_n if_o not_o of_o life_n and_o liberty_n and_o perhaps_o their_o majesty_n have_v lose_v 30_o or_o 40_o ship_n to_o the_o value_n of_o a_o million_o of_o money_n and_o in_o so_o little_a time_n as_o no_o age_n can_v parallel_v and_o except_v the_o anne_n and_o the_o portsmouth_n and_o perhaps_o ten_o or_o twelve_o more_o most_o of_o the_o rest_n be_v make_v away_o so_o strange_o without_o fair_a valiant_a fight_v as_o brave_a old_a english_a man_n use_v to_o do_v that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v look_v like_o ship_n murder_v i_o do_v not_o

find_v the_o reason_n how_o some_o be_v lose_v but_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v i_o if_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n or_o of_o man_n it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v with_o submission_n say_v if_o it_o be_v from_o man_n then_o if_o they_o be_v find_v faulty_a they_o shall_v be_v punish_v and_o if_o from_o heaven_n than_o humiliation_n supplication_n and_o reformation_n be_v the_o way_n to_o prevent_v
