A25622	An Answer to the second letter from Legorn being an account of some further discovery of a continued plot aboard the ship Vanherring.	Orme, Thomas, d. 1716.	1680 (1680)	Wing A3444; ESTC R23059	4,870	4

damnable_a design_n and_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o ship_n company_n they_o be_v unexpected_o break_v up_o and_o this_o have_v be_v do_v divers_a time_n sir_n this_o great_o amaze_v all_o sincere_a christian_n that_o here_o of_o it_o especial_o because_o we_o understand_v from_o other_o hand_n that_o two_o great_a counsel_n have_v b●en_v quite_o dissolve_v and_o the_o three_o have_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o sit_v since_o they_o be_v choose_v however_o we_o can_v but_o take_v good_a notice_n of_o that_o particular_a wherein_o you_o tell_v we_o the_o wise_a sort_n believe_v the_o captain_n be_v real_a because_o of_o his_o constant_a profess_v himself_o a_o christian_a neither_o will_v it_o be_v for_o his_o interest_n to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o that_o he_o can_v expect_v a_o better_a command_n in_o the_o ship_n beside_o he_o have_v in_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o great_a counsel_n stick_v several_a order_n on_o the_o main_a mast_n command_v all_o mahometan_n to_o depart_v by_o such_o a_o day_n 10._o space_n from_o the_o chief_a cabin_n and_o also_o encouraga_v by_o reward_n such_o as_o shall_v make_v further_a discovery_n and_o apprehend_v such_o as_o be_v guilty_a we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v that_o these_o thing_n do_v fair_o lead_v to_o charitable_a conclusion_n of_o the_o captain_n proceed_n but_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o horrible_a design_n against_o the_o captain_n life_n the_o ship_n and_o cargo_n withal_o the_o christian_a soldier_n and_o sailor_n together_o with_o the_o great_a expectation_n of_o the_o mahometan_n that_o the_o lieutenant_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v captain_n and_o likewise_o that_o the_o algerines_n be_v in_o confederacy_n with_o the_o mahometan_n these_o thing_n consider_v do_v put_v all_o true_a christian_n that_o love_v the_o captain_n at_o their_o wit_n end_n because_o he_o suffer_v not_o the_o great_a counsel_n to_o sit_v notwithstanding_o the_o generality_n still_o hope_v the_o best_a as_o to_o the_o captain_n proceed_n but_o their_o hope_n be_v mingle_v with_o many_o and_o great_a fear_n because_o the_o captain_n have_v manifest_v his_o averseness_n that_o the_o counsel_n shall_v exclude_v the_o lieutenant_n from_o succeed_v in_o his_o place_n and_o to_o establish_v a_o christian_a as_o his_o successor_n as_o also_o that_o the_o purser_n be_v accuse_v of_o many_o high_a crime_n and_o misdemeanour_n by_o the_o great_a counsel_n instead_o of_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o fair_a trial_n the_o captain_n have_v manifest_v a_o willingness_n rather_o to_o pardon_v he_o it_o be_v also_o admire_v that_o the_o five_o great_a conspirator_n shall_v lie_v so_o long_o in_o the_o hold_n and_o not_o be_v bring_v to_o a_o trial_n before_o the_o great_a counsel_n it_o be_v general_o conclude_v that_o the_o mahometan_a lieutenant_n and_o the_o steer_n man_n of_o the_o pinnace_n wherein_o he_o now_o sail_n together_o with_o the_o algerin_n lady_n who_o be_v so_o much_o in_o the_o captain_n affection_n and_o acquaint_v with_o his_o cabinet_n counsel_n be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o these_o thing_n vii_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o surgeon_n mate_n be_v likewise_o accuse_v for_o design_v to_o poison_n the_o captain_n and_o that_o he_o be_v acquit_v upon_o his_o trial_n we_o do_v likewise_o understand_v that_o the_o generality_n of_o person_n that_o be_v present_a at_o the_o trial_n be_v well_o satisfy_v that_o he_o be_v real_o guilty_a and_o that_o it_o plain_o appear_v by_o the_o evidence_n give_v in_o for_o the_o captain_n except_o to_o those_o that_o quit_v he_o be_v about_o the_o number_n of_o thirteen_o it_o be_v report_v that_o a_o legion_n of_o shine_a god_n great_o influence_v his_o acquittal_n hour_n it_o seem_v he_o dare_v not_o abide_v on_o board_n in_o the_o captain_n presence_n but_o be_v flee_v to_o the_o algerines_n for_o his_o security_n viii_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o great_a endeavour_n have_v be_v use_v to_o corrupt_v some_o of_o the_o chief_a discoverer_n by_o false_a accusation_n and_o to_o invalidate_v the_o strength_n of_o their_o evidence_n and_o that_o a_o new_a conspiracy_n have_v be_v hatch_v against_o the_o christian_n endeavour_v to_o make_v they_o culpable_a of_o the_o same_o intend_a mischief_n against_o the_o captain_n as_o the_o mahometan_n be_v guilty_a of_o we_o can_v but_o great_o wonder_v that_o the_o captain_n shall_v in_o the_o least_o adhere_v to_o such_o improbable_a information_n it_o be_v evidence_v only_o by_o a_o new-listed_n seaman_n who_o be_v great_o in_o favour_n with_o the_o lieutenant_n and_o one_o of_o his_o own_o gang._n but_o in_o this_o we_o rejoice_v that_o this_o sham-plot_n fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wise_a and_o faithful_a mid-ship-man_n who_o have_v behave_v himself_o in_o the_o discovery_n of_o it_o to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o all_o the_o christian_a sailor_n ix_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o several_a merchant_n that_o have_v great_a concern_v aboard_o the_o ship_n do_v humble_o address_v to_o the_o captain_n for_o the_o sit_v of_o the_o great_a counsel_n and_o that_o the_o captain_n do_v make_v it_o manifest_a he_o do_v not_o rejoice_v in_o their_o request_n you_o tell_v we_o the_o honest_a sailor_n be_v about_o such_o a_o address_n but_o the_o captain_n have_v show_v his_o dislike_n of_o it_o by_o order_v a_o placaet_n to_o be_v fix_v on_o the_o main_a mast_n which_o discourage_v many_o of_o they_o but_o we_o be_v inform_v from_o other_o hand_n that_o a_o great_a number_n of_o they_o venture_v to_o present_v it_o in_o a_o very_a humble_a manner_n by_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a man_n but_o the_o captain_n manifest_v that_o he_o be_v displease_v with_o it_o what_o to_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n people_n be_v general_o at_o a_o loss_n however_o some_o be_v willing_a to_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o the_o captain_n do_v this_o in_o wisdom_n to_o try_v the_o courage_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o his_o ship_n company_n in_o endeavour_v to_o maintain_v their_o own_o right_n and_o privilege_n know_v well_o that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o look_v after_o their_o own_o happiness_n it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a they_o shall_v be_v concern_v about_o he_o and_o it_o be_v very_o believe_v if_o at_o last_o he_o shall_v grant_v their_o desire_n they_o will_v leap_v for_o joy_n as_o when_o the_o noble_a captain_n come_v first_o aboard_o and_o cry_v out_o god_n bless_v the_o captain_n one_o and_o all_o one_o and_o all_o we_o will_v live_v and_o die_v with_o he_o we_o will_v live_v and_o die_v for_o he_o x._o now_o sir_n to_o conclude_v i_o do_v assure_v you_o that_o the_o people_n here_o general_o though_o they_o be_v hearty_o sorry_a to_o hear_v of_o the_o danger_n that_o attend_v the_o captain_n and_o ship_n company_n yet_o they_o be_v exceed_o glad_a that_o the_o ship_n be_v so_o stout_a a_o ship_n &_o so_o well_o man_v with_o person_n of_o integrity_n and_o courage_n it_o be_v hearty_o wish_v that_o you_o may_v have_v sufficiency_n of_o ammunition_n against_o the_o time_n of_o need_n when_o you_o may_v be_v force_v to_o dispute_v the_o cause_n with_o the_o algerines_n and_o mahometan_n that_o so_o you_o may_v preserve_v your_o captain_n and_o not_o be_v enslave_v by_o the_o mahometan_a lieutenant_n we_o do_v further_a hearty_o wish_v you_o may_v have_v find_v and_o courageous_a christian_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o officer_n especial_o those_o of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o golden_a chain_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v mongrel_n nor_o mahometan_n because_o the_o forecastle_n and_o mainmast_n be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n which_o if_o they_o suffer_v the_o one_o to_o be_v board_v and_o the_o other_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o the_o ship_n will_v be_v utter_o disable_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o save_v or_o betray_v of_o the_o ship_n do_v depend_v on_o the_o faithfulness_n or_o unfaithfulness_n of_o the_o officer_n but_o we_o be_v glad_a to_o hear_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o that_o noble_a order_n and_o few_o of_o his_o brethren_n have_v approve_v themselves_o faithful_a and_o courageous_a for_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o ship_n company_n we_o hear_v there_o be_v a_o very_a rare_a bird_n in_o the_o captain_n own_o cabin_n that_o sing_v most_o pleasant_o but_o since_o this_o conspiracy_n he_o have_v change_v his_o note_n and_o we_o be_v in_o doubt_n what_o tune_n he_o will_v sing_v next_o whether_o for_o the_o christian_n or_o the_o mahometan_n but_o this_o we_o leave_v to_o time_n to_o discover_v thus_o with_o a_o thousand_o thanks_o for_o your_o letter_n hope_v you_o will_v as_o kind_o accept_v of_o this_o answer_n from_o
