between_o three_o and_o four_o hundred_o book_n of_o about_o eight_o sheet_n apiece_o of_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o relieve_v the_o seaman_n and_o prevent_v his_o majesty_n be_v shameful_o cheat_v

their_o be_v honest_o and_o speedy_o pay_v and_o i_o remember_v a_o story_n i_o have_v read_v of_o a_o great_a courtier_n i_o think_v it_o be_v cardinal_n woolsey_n that_o after_o he_o have_v long_o

of_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 2d_o and_o the_o 9th_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o have_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v

i_o have_v often_o think_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o jesuit_n and_o the_o late_a king_n friend_n in_o france_n and_o england_n have_v sit_v in_o council_n about_o the_o loyal_a and_o faithful_a seaman_n of_o england_n after_o they_o have_v beat_v the_o french_a and_o have_v say_v in_o the_o sea-dialect_n these_o eternal_a damn_a dog_n the_o seaman_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n will_v fight_v like_o dragon_n to_o keep_v out_o a_o popish_a religion_n and_o french_a power_n and_o we_o can_v never_o have_v a_o ship_n or_o two_o betray_v to_o we_o except_o private_o because_o these_o damn_a dog_n the_o seaman_n be_v ready_a to_o defend_v their_o ship_n and_o their_o nation_n let_v they_o lose_v never_o so_o many_o life_n therefore_o we_o must_v consult_v how_o to_o ruin_v they_o some_o other_o way_n for_o to_o endeavour_v to_o ruin_v they_o they_o by_o fight_v will_v ruin_v all_o the_o french_a seaman_n and_o all_o the_o french_a ship_n therefore_o we_o will_v endeavour_v to_o ruin_v they_o twice_o over_o another_o way_n and_o three_o time_n over_o another_o way_n and_o they_o shall_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v ruin_v five_o time_n over_o another_o a_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o from_o their_o king_n and_o parliament_n and_o then_o it_o may_v be_v it_o will_v cost_v the_o nation_n some_o million_o of_o money_n extraordinary_a to_o ruin_v they_o but_o it_o must_v be_v pretend_v they_o be_v manage_v to_o the_o best_a advantage_n and_o if_o they_o be_v keep_v turn_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n and_o not_o pay_v off_o till_o they_o fall_v sick_a and_o die_v like_o so_o many_o rot_a sheep_n until_o several_a ship_n book_n will_v prove_v they_o have_v be_v man_v over_o their_o number_n of_o man_n 8_o or_o 9_o time_n before_o they_o have_v be_v

and_o vapour_n that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v kill_v more_o man_n and_o woman_n these_o late_a year_n in_o england_n than_o the_o sword_n and_o it_o fire_v the_o very_a soul_n of_o many_o out_o of_o their_o body_n by_o degree_n if_o not_o present_o as_o several_a have_v be_v but_o by_o degree_n i_o have_v know_v many_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v shorten_v their_o life_n many_o year_n by_o

i_o will_v humble_o propose_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o law_n make_v to_o have_v our_o hedge_n row_v in_o every_o field_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n oblige_v in_o seven_o or_o eight_o year_n

as_o i_o say_v plant_v in_o the_o hedg-row_n need_v not_o take_v up_o a_o acre_n of_o land_n for_o 40_o million_o of_o tree_n and_o if_o the_o tree_n come_v to_o bear_v will_v preserve_v our_o corn_n

when_o they_o have_v do_v bear_v fruit_n five_o time_n the_o charge_n of_o plant_v and_o as_o i_o say_v we_o need_v not_o lose_v a_o acre_n of_o land_n and_o if_o any_o will_v propose_v the_o plant_v of_o oak_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n one_o in_o every_o 30_o foot_n of_o hedge-row_n acorn_n be_v cheap_a enough_o and_o if_o every_o twenty_o foot_n have_v a_o appletree_n and_o every_o twenty_o

any_o thing_n or_o encourage_v all_o the_o seaman_n of_o england_n to_o come_v into_o the_o service_n i_o will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v by_o the_o several_a ship_n book_n that_o for_o above_o

and_o near_o four_o time_n thirty_o thousand_o run_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n it_o will_v require_v something_o of_o industry_n in_o the_o register-office_n to_o pick_v out_o the_o right_a thirty_o

out_o of_o their_o pay_n if_o the_o thirty_o thousand_o get_v not_o one_o groat_n advance-money_n and_o therefore_o now_o i_o will_v beg_v for_o the_o poor_a and_o miserable_a seman_n sake_n that_o the_o six_o penny_n the_o month_n may_v not_o any_o long_o be_v stop_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v their_o pay_n be_v small_a and_o their_o hazard_n and_o charge_n be_v great_a they_o go_v now_o in_o merchant_n ship_n for_o 22_o s._n or_o 23_o s._n the_o month._n now_o suppose_v they_o lie_v at_o home_n but_o one_o month_n in_o a_o year_n and_o have_v half_a pay_n for_o a_o

a_o quarter_n of_o their_o pay_n for_o damage_n or_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v because_o the_o poor_a miserable_a fool_n go_v to_o sea_n in_o old_a rot_a ship_n ready_a to_o drown_v they_o and_o so_o out_o of_o 11_o l._n 11_o s._n they_o have_v about_o nine_o pound_n out_o of_o this_o there_o must_v go_v five_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n to_o relieve_v their_o poor_a distress_a brethren_n

they_o or_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v unable_a to_o perform_v their_o work_n so_o it_o will_v take_v up_o about_o three_o or_o four_o pound_n a_o year_n for_o clothes_n and_o reckon_v but_o twenty_o shilling_n a_o man_n for_o expense_n or_o brandy_n to_o carry_v to_o sea_n there_o will_v be_v about_o five_o pound_n the_o year_n leave_v to_o keep_v their_o family_n and_o that_o be_v not_o

heart_n or_o sheep_n head_n and_o a_o peck_n loaf_n for_o their_o family_n see_v also_o sometime_o the_o poor_a seaman_n meet_v with_o lose_a voyage_n and_o so_o be_v set_v back_o in_o the_o world_n more_o miserable_o than_o other_o poor_a wretch_n and_o therefore_o as_o all_o the_o labour_a man_n in_o england_n be_v at_o liberty_n without_o pay_v any_o tax_n out_o of_o their_o wage_n god_n

in_o peace_n more_o than_o any_o sort_n of_o people_n at_o land_n for_o in_o all_o land-tax_n their_o family_n be_v liable_a to_o pay_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n and_o it_o have_v make_v

tax_n if_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v hang_v for_o it_o therefore_o i_o do_v look_v on_o it_o as_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o service_n to_o the_o king_n to_o be_v patient_n to_o they_o and_o lay_v down_o the_o money_n myself_o and_o make_v the_o government_n easy_a as_o i_o can_v and_o though_o i_o do_v now_o lie_v out_o of_o some_o pound_n that_o i_o pay_v in_o so_o the_o king_n last_o year_n i_o never_o do_v get_v 2_o d._n by_o it_o neither_o ever_o shall_v but_o i_o think_v often_o of_o good_a jacob_n word_n in_o drive_v his_o cattle_n that_o they_o must_v be_v drive_v as_o they_o can_v

in_o keep_v so_o long_o turn_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n without_o liberty_n of_o fresh_a air_n and_o fresh_a provision_n until_o they_o die_v like_o rot_a sheep_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v it_o may_v have_v save_v a_o three_o part_n of_o their_o life_n if_o they_o have_v come_v on_o shoar_n yearly_o and_o be_v pay_v as_o the_o french_a and_o dutch_a do_v their_o seaman_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o

last_o 10_o year_n and_o i_o suppose_v the_o dutch_a have_v save_v near_o 8_o million_o of_o money_n in_o the_o charge_n of_o their_o fleet_n these_o last_o 10_o year_n and_o methinks_v i_o have_v

and_o if_o we_o have_v a_o four_o part_n more_o of_o ship_n and_o officer_n employ_v more_o than_o needs_o or_o the_o great_a ship_n keep_v in_o pay_n in_o the_o winter_n when_o captain_n st._n loe_o say_v there_o may_v have_v have_v be_v five_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_v a_o year_n save_v by_o it_o but_o then_o the_o officer_n can_v not_o have_v live_v so_o great_a and_o one_o trick_n i_o remember_v because_o there_o be_v money_n plenty_n enough_o for_o to_o scamble_v away_o among_o the_o double-pay_a officer_n the_o officer_n be_v keep_v in_o pay_n one_o winter_n in_o the_o great_a ship_n and_o the_o seaman_n discharge_v and_o to_o be_v sure_a we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o press_n captain_n and_o lieutenant_n next_o year_n and_o one_o will_v admire_v that_o when_o a_o nation_n

6_o d._n the_o month_n out_o of_o their_o pay_n towards_o it_o but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v now_o the_o register_v seaman_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o office_n but_o i_o remember_v the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n say_v they_o that_o be_v officer_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v register_v but_o do_v not_o say_v they_o must_v have_v be_v register_v a_o month_n before_o they_o be_v prefer_v which_o make_v my_o windmill-working_a thought_n ramble_n as_o far_o as_o rome_n where_o none_o must_v be_v pope_n but_o a_o cardinal_n and_o none_o a_o cardinal_n but_o a_o priest_n now_o i_o suppose_v there_o may_v be_v as_o many_o priest_n in_o the_o roman_a territory_n of_o all_o sort_n as_o be_v seaman_n in_o england_n and_o very_o few_o priest_n proffer_v to_o be_v cardinal_n but_o instead_o of_o that_o if_o any_o king_n or_o prince_n or_o the_o emperor_n have_v a_o old_a swear_v whore_v general_n to_o prefer_v and_o can_v get_v the_o old_a father_n the_o pope_n in_o who_o

with_o all_o humble_a submission_n will_v i_o say_v if_o in_o england_n for_o time_n to_o come_v that_o debauchery_n and_o lewdness_n and_o profaneness_n shall_v keep_v on_o its_o course_n and_o the_o

god_n shall_v say_v to_o england_n as_o he_o do_v to_o israel_n that_o he_o will_v be_v as_o a_o lion_n to_o we_o to_o tear_v and_o rend_v we_o and_o go_v from_o we_o that_o will_v be_v dreadful_a
