the_o case_n of_o many_o hundred_o of_o poor_a english-captives_a in_o algiers_n with_o some_o remedy_n to_o prevent_v their_o increase_n humble_o represent_v to_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n that_o there_o have_v be_v take_v since_o their_o last_o breach_n with_o we_o not_o less_o than_o a_o hundred_o and_o forty_o sail_n of_o ship_n and_o other_o vessel_n many_o of_o they_o be_v rich_o lade_v beside_o the_o great_a advance_v they_o make_v upon_o the_o person_n they_o take_v there_o be_v at_o this_o time_n upward_o of_o 1500_o beside_o many_o hundred_o who_o have_v dye_v there_o of_o the_o plague_n who_o suffer_v and_o undergo_v most_o miserable_a slavery_n put_v to_o daily_o extreme_a and_o difficult_a labour_n but_o a_o poor_a supply_n of_o bread_n and_o water_n for_o their_o food_n strip_v of_o their_o clothes_n and_o cover_n and_o their_o lodging_n on_o the_o cold_a stone_n and_o brick_n but_o what_o be_v more_o their_o extreme_a hard_a and_o savage_a lade_v they_o sometime_o with_o great_a burden_n of_o chain_n and_o shut_v up_o in_o noisome_a place_n common_o add_v some_o hundred_o of_o blow_n on_o their_o bare_a foot_n force_v out_o the_o very_a blood_n and_o sometime_o on_o the_o back_n sometime_o on_o the_o belly_n and_o sometime_o on_o they_o all_o insomuch_o that_o many_o be_v long_a decripit_fw-la some_o for_o ever_o and_o some_o die_n under_o their_o hand_n but_o above_o all_o be_v their_o frequent_a force_n of_o man_n and_o boy_n by_o their_o execrable_a sodomy_n also_o their_o inhuman_a abuse_n and_o force_n to_o the_o body_n of_o woman_n and_o girl_n frequent_o attempt_v sodomy_n on_o they_o also_o some_o of_o who_o both_o male_n and_o female_n have_v be_v so_o abuse_v as_o hardly_o to_o escape_v with_o their_o life_n all_o which_o usage_n be_v so_o notorious_o know_v by_o those_o who_o have_v be_v redeem_v thence_o that_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n and_o first_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o that_o promoter_n of_o all_o the_o inhuman_a usage_n of_o christian_n be_v principal_o the_o jew_n there_o inhabit_v there_o be_v hardly_o any_o one_o vessel_n of_o those_o cruel_a pirate_n but_o the_o owner_n thereof_o be_v for_o a_o great_a part_n jew_n second_o it_o be_v apparent_a also_o that_o all_o those_o ill-gotten_a ship_n and_o good_n which_o they_o so_o barbarous_o rob_v and_o take_v from_o the_o english-merchant_n and_o mariner_n to_o the_o great_a impoverish_v of_o this_o nation_n the_o jew_n be_v the_o constant_a buyer_n of_o and_o so_o of_o the_o english-captives_a there_o be_v few_o slave_n in_o algiers_n but_o a_o jew_n be_v their_o patroon_n or_o else_o have_v at_o least_o a_o share_n in_o they_o three_o it_o be_v further_a evident_a that_o the_o jew_n be_v the_o chief-instigators_a of_o the_o turk_n and_o moor_n to_o make_v those_o poor_a christian-captives_a to_o deny_v their_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v they_o who_o encourage_v such_o on_o who_o they_o so_o prevail_v to_o turn_v runnagadoe_n and_o prefer_v they_o to_o command_n and_o office_n in_o their_o pyratical_a ship_n four_o that_o it_o be_v the_o jew_n who_o enhance_v the_o price_n of_o christian_a soul_n by_o buy_v they_o at_o small_a rate_n and_o then_o exact_v great_a sum_n for_o their_o redemption_n quite_o contrary_a to_o their_o usage_n at_o the_o take_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o thirty_o jew_n be_v sell_v for_o a_o groat_n and_o possible_o the_o christian_n may_v now_o be_v redeem_a at_o much_o low_a rate_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o jew_n who_o buy_v they_o and_o do_v now_o exact_v a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o one_o captive_a when_o possible_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o relation_n be_v not_o worth_a half_a the_o value_n five_o that_o the_o jew_n be_v those_o who_o stir_v up_o the_o turk_n and_o moor_n so_o to_o beat_v and_o abuse_v poor_a captive_n they_o not_o dare_v to_o do_v it_o themselves_o for_o fear_v their_o blow_n shall_v be_v return_v upon_o they_o again_o so_o that_o the_o native_n of_o the_o place_n be_v but_o mere_a vassal_n and_o slave_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o for_o the_o lucre_n of_o their_o money_n do_v execute_v all_o their_o cruel_a and_o bloody_a design_n and_o project_n both_o abroad_o and_o at_o home_n all_o which_o will_v be_v abundant_o prove_v by_o many_o witness_n when_o ever_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v thereunto_o six_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v that_o the_o jew_n in_o algiers_n have_v too_o great_a correspondency_n with_o and_o countenance_n from_o the_o jew_n here_o in_o england_n and_o that_o by_o their_o mean_n it_o be_v that_o they_o in_o algiers_n have_v always_o list_n of_o all_o our_o english_a ship_n especial_o of_o the_o fleet_n come_v from_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n plantation_n abroad_o and_o of_o the_o very_a time_n they_o be_v expect_v to_o go_v out_o or_o return_n with_o a_o perfect_a account_n of_o the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o all_o merchant_n and_o passenger_n aboard_o if_o any_o such_o there_o be_v by_o which_o mean_v they_o exact_v such_o great_a sum_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o this_o may_v further_o appear_v when_o it_o be_v consider_v how_o little_a the_o damage_n be_v as_o well_o to_o england_n as_o to_o all_o other_o part_n of_o christendom_n by_o tripoli_n or_o tunis_n when_o ever_o they_o make_v any_o breach_n upon_o we_o the_o true_a reason_n whereof_o be_v the_o paucity_n and_o poverty_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o those_o place_n and_o therefore_o for_o a_o remedy_n hereof_o it_o be_v humble_o propose_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n one_o or_o both_o of_o these_o two_o way_n follow_v first_o by_o the_o destruction_n of_o this_o town_n of_o algiers_n the_o pest_n of_o christendom_n and_o that_o with_o no_o great_a force_n and_o charge_n may_v be_v total_o demolish_v with_o their_o mould_n and_o fortification_n as_o may_v be_v easy_o demonstrate_v be_v there_o but_o a_o due_a encouragement_n give_v to_o such_o as_o be_v willing_a to_o undertake_v the_o same_o second_o or_o to_o make_v a_o law_n that_o whatever_o damage_n or_o loss_n the_o english_a shall_v sustain_v by_o mean_n or_o procurement_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o algiers_n or_o elsewhere_o it_o shall_v be_v require_v and_o make_v good_a to_o the_o loser_n out_o of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o jew_n here_o in_o england_n which_o be_v humble_o offer_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o such_o a_o law_n may_v save_v a_o great_a expense_n of_o treasure_n and_o also_o of_o christian_a blood_n which_o this_o nation_n have_v sad_o feel_v and_o may_v effect_v that_o peace_n and_o tranquillity_n to_o the_o english_a trader_n which_o hitherto_o force_n have_v not_o do_v second_o because_o the_o jew_n have_v here_o the_o full_a exercise_n of_o their_o false_a and_o pernicious_a religion_n and_o worship_n whilst_o thousand_o of_o poor_a protestant_a christian_n differ_v in_o no_o point_n from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v daily_o harase_v and_o undo_v to_o the_o great_a joy_n and_o laughter_n of_o the_o jew_n see_v christian_n thus_o tear_v and_o molest_v one_o another_o whilst_o themselves_o be_v project_v to_o destroy_v we_o all_o abroad_o and_o eat_v up_o the_o trade_n of_o our_o english_a merchant_n at_o home_n three_o the_o charity_n of_o this_o nation_n may_v be_v employ_v on_o other_o good_a occasion_n which_o be_v now_o collect_v for_o the_o redemption_n of_o captive_n for_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o encouragement_n to_o those_o jew_n of_o algiers_n vigorous_o to_o proceed_v in_o their_o rapine_n and_o robbery_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o charity_n of_o a_o whole_a nation_n make_v use_v of_o to_o raise_v money_n for_o the_o satisfy_a their_o inhuman_a exaction_n on_o poor_a christian_n and_o may_v be_v easy_o suppose_v rather_o to_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o their_o redemption_n then_o to_o lessen_v it_o four_o it_o be_v but_o jus_fw-la gentium_fw-la when_o a_o nation_n suffer_v by_o one_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o reparation_n and_o satisfaction_n be_v require_v of_o any_o other_o of_o that_o sort_n of_o

moreover_o it_o be_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o jew_n in_o all_o place_n be_v in_o a_o combination_n and_o society_n whereby_o they_o have_v influence_n on_o the_o proceed_n of_o all_o jew_n in_o what_o place_n soever_o and_o share_n in_o their_o profit_n and_o loss_n five_o the_o very_a terror_n of_o such_o a_o law_n will_v engage_v those_o jew_n in_o other_o more_o honest_a course_n than_o this_o of_o enrich_v themselves_o by_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o poor_a christian_n six_o if_o this_o or_o some_o other_o course_n be_v not_o effectual_o take_v those_o jew_n of_o

of_o christendom_n witness_n their_o great_a and_o unparalleled_a boldness_n of_o dare_v to_o come_v not_o only_o on_o our_o coast_n but_o even_o into_o our_o very_a channel_n to_o the_o ignominy_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o in_o despite_n and_o contempt_n of_o his_o majesty_n who_o be_v undoubted_o sovereign_a of_o the_o narrow_a sea_n seven_o by_o these_o mean_v other_o prince_n and_o state_n

the_o mediterranean_a sea_n witness_n that_o of_o his_o majesty_n of_o great_a britain_n eight_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o by_o this_o mean_v his_o majesty_n may_v more_o peaceable_o
