destruction_n of_o seaman_n be_v of_o mighty_a importance_n to_o we_o how_o many_o man_n of_o war_n have_v be_v lose_v how_o the_o merchantman_n have_v have_v their_o seaman_n press_a from_o their_o ship_n and_o by_o that_o and_o embargo_n and_o storm_n this_o year_n have_v lose_v above_o two_o million_o and_o desire_v they_o to_o consider_v that_o he_o who_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o among_o we_o be_v not_o a_o stranger_n to_o what_o belong_v to_o a_o fleet_n and_o trade_n so_o that_o the_o miscarriage_n of_o both_o these_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o his_o want_n of_o judgement_n or_o application_n but_o to_o a_o further_a design_n of_o weaken_v that_o kingdom_n and_o advance_v we_o i_o tell_v they_o how_o he_o be_v once_o go_v to_o remove_v all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o english_a captain_n of_o ship_n and_o put_v we_o in_o their_o place_n which_o have_v certain_o be_v do_v but_o that_o it_o will_v too_o soon_o have_v make_v the_o secret_a know_v to_o the_o nation_n i_o also_o show_v they_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o vast_a stock_n he_o have_v in_o bank_n among_o we_o he_o have_v be_v so_o cautious_a both_o for_o his_o own_o concern_n and_o we_o as_o not_o to_o touch_v one_o penny_n of_o it_o but_o have_v make_v the_o people_n of_o england_n furnish_v he_o even_o beyond_o their_o power_n and_o yet_o run_v daily_o in_o debt_n there_o for_o stores_n and_o provision_n nay_o even_o for_o his_o soldier_n pay_v by_o which_o mean_n if_o he_o increase_v not_o his_o own_o stock_n of_o which_o i_o have_v at_o present_v no_o positive_a account_n he_o at_o least_o impoverish_v they_o to_o our_o wish_n so_o that_o hereafter_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o without_o our_o assistance_n it_o be_v true_a he_o have_v give_v out_o there_o that_o the_o e_o of_o portland_n be_v to_o draw_v 200000_o l._n out_o of_o his_o stock_n in_o the_o east-india_n trade_n but_o we_o know_v when_o that_o money_n be_v send_v from_o england_n and_o what_o plate_n

convoy_n to_o their_o merchant_n ship_n press_v their_o seaman_n and_o after_o promise_n to_o the_o contrary_a clap_v embargo_n upon_o all_o their_o outward_a bind_v ship_n we_o have_v send_v out_o we_o with_o all_o freedom_n and_o have_v by_o that_o mean_v get_v the_o choice_n of_o all_o foreign_a commodity_n at_o easy_a rate_n if_o not_o the_o sole_a emption_n of_o they_o and_o vend_v our_o own_o at_o our_o own_o price_n that_o by_o these_o mean_n and_o his_o permit_v we_o to_o carry_v all_o sort_n of_o commodity_n into_o england_n in_o our_o own_o bottom_n our_o country_n be_v enrich_v by_o this_o year_n war_n treble_a to_o what_o we_o expend_v for_o the_o expedition_n beside_o the_o prospect_n of_o a_o perpetual_a enjoyment_n of_o a_o free_a sea_n and_o traffic_n nay_o we_o may_v hope_v in_o time_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o to_o ride_v master_n of_o the_o british_a sea_n and_o make_v they_o lour_v their_o topsail_n to_o we_o ii_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o show_v what_o he_o be_v now_o do_v to_o our_o advantage_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o need_v only_o mention_v these_o action_n by_o which_o it_o be_v manifest_a he_o have_v our_o interest_n in_o his_o eye_n and_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o give_v we_o a_o last_a insurance_n of_o all_o these_o good_a thing_n he_o have_v procure_v for_o we_o but_o beside_o all_o these_o have_v he_o not_o moreover_o send_v the_o e._n of_o portland_n among_o we_o with_o fresh_a proposal_n if_o we_o will_v further_o lend_v he_o our_o assistance_n be_v not_o these_o proposal_n so_o advantageous_a to_o

the_o payment_n by_o which_o a_o good_a part_n of_o our_o army_n be_v maintain_v for_o we_o have_v he_o not_o all_o the_o last_o summer_n be_v at_o two_o three_o of_o the_o charge_n for_o maintain_v the_o war_n by_o sea_n notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v principal_o enter_v into_o upon_o our_o account_n and_o that_o we_o be_v likely_a to_o be_v the_o only_a gainer_n have_v he_o not_o of_o

these_o and_o many_o more_o which_o he_o do_v for_o we_o and_o permit_v we_o to_o do_v for_o ourselves_o such_o thing_n as_o no_o king_n of_o england_n will_v ever_o have_v suffer_v and_o such_o as_o will_v have_v cause_v a_o war_n betwixt_o our_o state_n and_o they_o and_o yet_o these_o thing_n he_o do_v for_o we_o and_o have_v do_v and_o we_o be_v not_o satisfy_v let_v we_o therefore_o see_v iii_o three_o and_o last_o what_o good_a we_o may_v hope_v he_o will_v do_v for_o we_o if_o we_o obstruct_v not_o his_o design_n this_o depend_v much_o upon_o future_a contingency_n and_o measure_n be_v take_v to_o fit_v all_o occasion_n if_o he_o find_v it_o possible_a to_o maintain_v his_o ground_n against_o the_o late_a king_n james_n and_o the_o power_n of_o france_n he_o know_v it_o can_v

already_o mention_v long_o wish_v for_o a_o mare_n liberum_fw-la and_o can_v not_o endure_v the_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v king_n at_o sea_n and_o make_v we_o lour_v our_o topsail_n to_o they_o or_o be_v subject_a to_o such_o law_n as_o they_o prescribe_v and_o will_v we_o think_v you_o lose_v so_o happy_a a_o opportunity_n of_o strip_v they_o of_o that_o prerogative_n or_o if_o we_o can_v of_o make_v use_n of_o it_o ourselves_o we_o know_v he_o be_v of_o a_o changeable_a humour_n but_o yet_o we_o know_v also_o his_o ambition_n and_o he_o can_v gratify_v his_o pride_n without_o

to_o enable_v they_o to_o make_v war_n against_o we_o or_o carry_v on_o a_o trade_n indeed_o by_o all_o appearance_n we_o may_v conjecture_v that_o he_o give_v up_o the_o crown_n as_o lose_v and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o have_v already_o empty_v the_o fort_n of_o arm_n and_o ammunition_n the_o exchequer_n of_o money_n and_o his_o palace_n of_o plate_n furniture_n and_o
