all_o which_o case_n the_o law_n use_v in_o the_o admiralty_n give_v remedy_n against_o the_o ship_n in_o case_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o ship_n before_o it_o come_v to_o the_o port_n of_o delivery_n by_o the_o maritime_a law_n the_o mariner_n shall_v receive_v wage_n and_o the_o owner_n freight_n to_o the_o last_o port_n of_o delivery_n and_o no_o far_o but_o by_o the_o common_a law_n for_o so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v serve_v loss_n or_o not_o loss_n they_o may_v recover_v likewise_o in_o case_n of_o average_n or_o cast_v good_n over_o board_n in_o a_o storm_n the_o master_n mariners_z and_o owner_n shall_v bear_v their_o proportion_n of_o the_o loss_n which_o thing_n although_o they_o be_v very_o just_a and_o equitable_a and_o great_a obligation_n to_o use_v care_n and_o

admiralty_n and_o not_o at_o the_o common_a law_n he_o will_v be_v thereby_o oblige_v to_o more_o diligence_n and_o obedience_n for_o if_o he_o be_v mutinous_a disobedient_a or_o desert_n the_o ship_n he_o make_v a_o total_a forfeiture_n of_o all_o his_o wage_n if_o he_o purloyn_n or_o embezel_n any_o of_o the_o good_n or_o be_v faulty_a in_o the_o due_a stowage_n thereof_o or_o damage_n happen_v for_o want_v of_o pump_v or_o through_o his_o default_n his_o wage_n will_v be_v liable_a to_o a_o proportionable_a satisfaction_n whereas_o at_o common_a law_n the_o mariner_n will_v recover_v his_o wage_n for_o so_o long_a time_n as_o he_o have_v serve_v and_o leave_v the_o commander_n or_o owner_n of_o the_o ship_n or_o good_n to_o seek_v his_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o damage_n aforesaid_a and_o this_o may_v also_o be_v do_v by_o letter_n of_o attorney_n and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n which_o be_v a_o great_a discouragement_n to_o foreigner_n to_o lade_v their_o good_n on_o

mariner_n must_v bring_v his_o several_a action_n to_o the_o great_a charge_n of_o the_o several_a defendant_n as_o well_o as_o themselves_o and_o must_v all_o attend_v till_o the_o term_n or_o assize_n for_o a_o trial_n and_o perhaps_o at_o last_o want_v evidence_n when_o in_o the_o admiralty_n he_o can_v have_v the_o oath_n of_o the_o contractor_n for_o discover_v the_o contract_n which_o be_v usual_o private_a and_o not_o to_o be_v prove_v by_o witness_n beside_o by_o the_o course_n of_o common_a law_n the_o remedy_n for_o the_o mariner_n be_v only_o against_o the_o contractor_n who_o may_v not_o be_v find_v or_o else_o insolvent_a but_o in_o case_n he_o be_v find_v and_o solvent_a there_o be_v another_o inconvenience_n on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o the_o contractor_n will_v be_v

and_o charter-party_n there_o be_v so_o necessary_a a_o relation_n betwixt_o freight_n and_o wages_n that_o it_o will_v be_v very_o inconvenient_a to_o try_v they_o in_o separate_a judicature_n because_o 1._o usual_o the_o wage_n be_v pay_v out_o of_o the_o freight_n 2._o there_o be_v divers_a case_n wherein_o mariner_n wage_n be_v to_o be_v abate_v in_o respect_n of_o a_o abatement_n of_o
