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 or_o export_v out_o of_o any_o of_o the_o english_a plantation_n in_o america_n in_o other_o vessel_n than_o such_o as_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o people_n of_o england_n or_o ireland_n or_o wales_n or_o town_n of_o berwick_n or_o any_o of_o the_o say_a plantation_n and_o whereof_o the_o master_n and_o three_o fourths_o of_o the_o mariner_n shall_v be_v english_a under_o the_o pain_n and_o penalty_n mention_v in_o the_o say_v act._n since_o which_o time_n neither_o we_o nor_o the_o people_n of_o any_o other_o nation_n can_v pretend_v to_o any_o right_n or_o freedom_n of_o trade_n and_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 transport_v into_o any_o place_n or_o plantation_n belong_v to_o foreigner_n it_o follow_v of_o consequence_n that_o all_o manner_n of_o provision_n and_o other_o necessary_n whatsoever_o which_o be_v not_o prohibit_v by_o the_o say_a act_n may_v be_v transport_v from_o the_o english_a plantation_n in_o ship_n qualify_v as_o aforesaid_a whethersoever_o the_o master_n shall_v think_v fit_a and_o 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 colony_n have_v stay_v still_o and_o maintain_v their_o settlement_n more_o sloop_n and_o brigantine_n will_v beyond_o all_o peradventure_o be_v send_v to_o they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n till_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

set_v up_o packet-boat_n as_o a_o remedy_n against_o the_o effect_n of_o proclamation_n which_o i_o may_v say_v will_v have_v be_v undutiful_a in_o they_o to_o have_v dread_v but_o yet_o to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n even_o in_o point_n of_o bare_a correspondence_n i_o do_v assure_v you_o that_o several_a of_o the_o company_n be_v packet_n direct_v to_o the_o council_n of_o their_o colony_n under_o cover_n to_o particular_a friend_n in_o the_o english_a plantation_n of_o america_n be_v to_o this_o hour_n lie_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o friend_n who_o write_v back_o hither_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o strictness_n and_o severity_n of_o those_o proclamation_n they_o dare_v not_o venture_v to_o forward_o the_o say_a packet_n to_o the_o colony_n because_o if_o they_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v discover_v in_o hold_v any_o such_o correspondence_n as_o ten_o to_o one_o but_o they_o will_v the_o least_o that_o they_o can_v expect_v be_v confinement_n and_o to_o be_v afterward_o sin_v at_o the_o next_o grand_a session_n by_o the_o discretion_n of_o a_o jury_n and_o that_o the_o discretion_n of_o that_o jury_n will_v be_v direct_v by_o the_o degree_n of_o love_n they_o bear_v our_o country_n and_o the_o wish_n they_o have_v to_o the_o prosperity_n of_o a_o undertake_n of_o this_o nature_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o proclamation_n have_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o colony_n get_v intelligence_n from_o hence_o and_o that_o if_o no_o such_o proclamation_n have_v be_v issue_v forth_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o indispensible_a necessity_n for_o packet-boat_n to_o have_v be_v send_v direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n at_o least_o before_o the_o director_n have_v a_o account_n of_o their_o settlement_n as_o some_o mighty_a pretender_n will_v tell_v we_o now_o there_o be_v and_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o the_o director_n do_v positive_o intend_v to_o have_v dispatch_v a_o vessel_n with_o advice_n and_o provision_n to_o the_o colony_n very_o soon_o after_o their_o departure_n from_o leith_n and_o for_o that_o end_n use_v all_o other_o endeavour_n by_o petition_n and_o otherwise_o to_o have_v procure_v one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o small_a friggot_n which_o be_v still_o lie_v useless_a in_o bruntisland-harbour_n as_o be_v the_o fit_a they_o can_v think_v of_o for_o that_o purpose_n and_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v please_v to_o order_v the_o build_n of_o those_o friggot_n for_o the_o security_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o general_n peace_n take_v away_o all_o manner_n of_o occasion_n for_o they_o in_o the_o narrow_a sea_n it_o be_v think_v they_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o so_o well_o employ_v as_o in_o carry_v on_o and_o support_v the_o design_n and_o interest_n of_o this_o company_n especial_o since_o the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n by_o their_o address_n former_o recite_v be_v please_v to_o express_v a_o singular_a concern_v for_o its_o prosperity_n and_o welfare_n and_o if_o the_o director_n say_v petition_n have_v be_v second_v as_o well_o as_o be_v expect_v and_o that_o they_o have_v get_v the_o use_n of_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o say_a friggot_n there_o have_v be_v in_o all_o probability_n no_o such_o occasion_n of_o clamour_n against_o they_o as_o now_o there_o be_v for_o not_o have_v send_v any_o ship_n direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n soon_o enough_o with_o provision_n and_o intelligence_n but_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v likewise_o evident_a by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o narrate_v that_o upon_o the_o director_n lose_v hope_n of_o procure_v any_o of_o the_o say_a friggot_n they_o come_v to_o a_o positive_a resolution_n of_o dispatch_v a_o small_a vessel_n direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n with_o advice_n and_o provision_n in_o the_o month_n of_o january_n at_o further_a though_o as_o cross_v fate_n will_v have_v it_o she_o happen_v to_o be_v such_o a_o ship_n as_o can_v not_o well_o be_v fit_v out_o for_o such_o a_o voyage_n in_o some_o month_n time_n thereafter_o upon_o discovery_n whereof_o they_o fit_v another_o small_a vessel_n which_o sail_v from_o clyde_n in_o the_o month_n of_o february_n but_o be_v unlucky_o shipwreck_a by_o a_o violent_a storm_n on_o the_o west-coast_n of_o scotland_n as_o i_o have_v former_o narrate_v yet_o still_o there_o be_v some_o who_o right_a or_o wrong_n will_v have_v the_o management_n bear_v the_o sole_a blame_v of_o all_o the_o misfortune_n that_o have_v happen_v to_o the_o company_n and_o colony_n and_o stick_v not_o to_o say_v too_o that_o the_o colony_n come_n away_o in_o the_o manner_n they_o do_v be_v not_o occasion_v so_o much_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n as_o by_o the_o treachery_n and_o villainy_n of_o some_o of_o their_o own_o number_n well_o let_v we_o for_o once_o suppose_v there_o be_v treachery_n in_o the_o case_n do_v that_o lessen_v the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n no_o certain_o but_o rather_o aggravate_v for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o treachery_n in_o the_o case_n these_o proclamation_n give_v the_o traitor_n a_o better_a handle_n to_o work_v by_o than_o any_o other_o pretence_n they_o can_v have_v make_v use_n of_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v further_o whether_o we_o can_v suppose_v there_o can_v be_v treachery_n without_o suppose_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o some_o person_n or_o other_o must_v have_v bribe_v the_o traitor_n and_o if_o so_o it_o seem_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o none_o will_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o do_v that_o as_o some_o of_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v in_o issue_v forth_o those_o proclamation_n so_o that_o still_o we_o be_v cleave_v to_o piece_n with_o a_o wedge_n of_o the_o same_o timber_n nay_o further_o what_o if_o notwithstanding_o of_o those_o proclamation_n the_o colony_n have_v never_o bodge_v but_o remain_v still_o in_o their_o settlement_n in_o a_o flourish_a condition_n and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v in_o such_o circumstance_n that_o the_o proclamation_n can_v have_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n shall_v any_o man_n therefore_o mantain_n that_o the_o issue_v forth_o of_o those_o proclamation_n be_v a_o good_a and_o harmless_a thing_n sure_o no_o man_n have_v face_n enough_o to_o say_v so_o for_o their_o have_v or_o not_o have_v the_o design_v effect_n can_v not_o at_o all_o alter_v the_o nature_n or_o intention_n of_o they_o but_o real_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o can_v be_v possible_a for_o a_o colony_n consist_v of_o the_o king_n of_o britain_n subject_n to_o have_v be_v in_o any_o such_o good_a

only_o that_o yet_o the_o same_o person_n be_v king_n of_o scotland_n also_o and_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o they_o can_v have_v but_o small_a hope_n of_o be_v vigorous_o protect_v by_o the_o
