A59919	Britannia triumphans; or An effectual method wholly to destroy the power of France by encouraging navigation in all its branches. Whereby their Majesties fleet may be sufficiently mann'd in a months time, on any occasion, without impressing; and by making a competent provision for such as shall be wounded in the service of Their Majesties, against the common enemy, in whatsoever stations they are placed. All which may be effected without any very considerable charge to the kingdom. Together with a brief enumeration of the several advantages to be made by erecting a publick fishery, by which a constant nursery of able seamen, and a security and enlargement of our trade abroad will be surely advanced. To which are subjoined, some proposals for the support and maintenance of the children of sll such as fall in the said service; and the certain and best expedient of encreasing the numbers of our privateers. Humbly represented to Their Majesties, and Members of Parliament. By Capt. St. Loe, one of the commissioners of the prize office.

5 l. a Month while at Sea in lieu of one Seaman each Ship is to find for the King and hereby the Seamen in their Majesties Ships will have Encouragement because they will have Mony given them to go and lose none of the great Wages which now tempts them to lurk and go in Merchant-men It may be Objected that this Reducement of Wages will make Seamen leave their native Country and go into Foreign service To which it is Answered on the contrary that they will not do it because first no Nation Victuals so well as the English and our Sailers love to Eat well I that have Summer'd and winter'd them so often know something of their Tempers Secondly It is as good Wages if not better than any other Country gives and therefore it is not to be thought that English Seamen except some few Scoundrels I have observed good for nothing will leave their Native Country their Friends and their Families to go into Foreign Service for the same or less Wages which may sufficiently Be seen by their refusing the French Service tho they had large offers made them ☞ This done will be a vast Advantage to their Majesties Fleet and the Benefit of Trade 't will be an Ease on all sides and make Seamen plenty And to shew that there are English Seamen sufficient both for publick and private Service we may observe this last Summer that their Majesties Fleet was very well Maned besides great Fleets of Merchant Ships both Abroad and at Home And if Care in the first place be taken of the Grand Fleet which is the main Interest of the Kingdom the Seamen for Merchants Ships may be the least of Our Care for they will not fail of having Men enough If it be questioned whether Seamen will come into their Majesties Service for 5 l. Advance according to this Propsal It is answered That they certainly will for these follwing Reasons I. A Seaman for the sake of two Months Advance in an Eastindia-man in time of Peace which is but between 40 and 50 s. will enter himself to go to the East-Indies for 20 and 23 s. a Month tho that be a hard and sickly Voyage two years out from their Friends and some times three and after all must repay that two Months Advance again II. Since this War it may be seen what effect their Majesties bounty of six weeks Pay has had among the Seamen for this last Summer the Admirals Ship also Sir Ralph Delavalls Colonel Churchill's and several others were very well Mann'd all with Volunteers who came in for the sake of that Bounty as may be seen by the many Thousand pounds paid by their Majesties on that Account And then can it be doubted that if six weeks Bounty which is but 34 s. and 6 d. has so great an effect upon them that 5 l. which is above four Months Bounty can any way fail especially when Seamen are assured of being paid off at the laying up the great Ships for this being ready Mony and so considerable will be the greater encouragement to Seamen to leave with their Wives and Families in their absence And this Mony the Masters and Owners of Ships cannot grudge to pay in Regard of the Equivalent before Proposed of bringing down the Seamens Wages by which not only the Seamen will the readier come into the Kings Service when the temptation of great pay in Merchants Ships is taken off but also the Merchant will gain by thus paying the 5 l. in saving the great Rate he now pays for Wages Advertisement to the Reader ☞ THE following Proposals being humbly offer'd to the furtherance of Their Majesties Service as well in the speedy and easy Manning the Fleet as preventing the great Expence and Cost of Impressing Seamen It is not to be suppos'd that Their Majesties must lose Their Royal Power and Prerogative of Impressing Seamen and others in Cases of Exigencies and when these Methods fail which I have no reason as yet to doubt of But it will be still a further Encouragement for Seamen to come in Voluntiers for the sake of the Reward when they shall still be liable to a Press if they do not come in and the fear of that will make them the more willing to go upon Encouragement rather than be forc'd to go without it and that is also the Reason of the Merchants Owners and Masters of Ships being willing this should go forward in that it will free them of the Charge of Protections and prevent the hindrance of their Voyages by which they are now great losers ☞ If the matter of these ensuing Sheets be not digested into that Method and Order I could wish and that the Stile and Language be not Correct enough to appear in Print I must beg the Reader to consider first That it comes from a Sailer whose Busmess it is rather to speak Truth plain than Neat and Elegant Secondly That the haste I was in to get them Printed early enough for the Parliament to make them Useful for the ensuing Year may be partly the occasion of it and Thirdly That by my ill Usage and Hardships sustain'd in my Imprisonment in France my Memory is prejudic'd but sure I am there is a good Foundation for wiser Heads to work upon and when the Parliament have it under their Consideration it will be at their Election to Enact this for a Year or what time they please and under what Regulations shall be thought fit and according as it shall be found in that time it may either be made use of or not FINIS Books Printed for and Sold by William Miller at the Acorn in St. Paul 's Church-yard where Gentlemen or others may be furnished with the best Collections either in whole or in part taking all the State-Matters Church-Government Sermons Divinity or Humanity In FOLIO ASSemblies Annotations in two Vol. Ainswhorth's Annotations Book of Martyrs in three Vol. Ben.
