A44078	Humble proposals for the relief, encouragement, security and happiness of the loyal, couragious seamen of England, in their lives and payment, in the service of our Most Gracious King William, and the defence of these nations humbly presented to the two most Honourable Houses, the Lords and Commons of England, in Parliament assembled / by a faithful subject of His Majesty, and servant to the Parliament and nation, and the seamen of England, in order for safety and security of all aforesaid, W. Hodges ; to which is added, a dialogue concerning the art of ticket-buying, in a discourse between Honesty, Poverty, Cruelty and Villany, concerning that mystery of iniquity, and ruin of the loyal seamen.	Hodges, William, Sir, 1645?-1714.	1695 (1695)	Wing H2329; ESTC R2277	51,833	63

and_o preserve_v for_o time_n to_o come_v they_o must_v be_v pay_v on_o shore_n and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o contrive_v as_o near_o as_o possible_a that_o every_o man_n may_v be_v pay_v off_o once_o in_o a_o year_n or_o tw●_n at_o far_a and_o have_v then_o a_o little_a security_n against_o the_o press_n that_o they_o may_v recruit_v their_o health_n and_o then_o they_o will_v be_v encourage_v to_o come_v into_o the_o service_n again_o and_o their_o friend_n glad_a to_o send_v they_o and_o without_o that_o i_o be_o afraid_a other_o encouragement_n will_v be_v but_o like_o a_o few_o oat_n show_v a_o horse_n to_o tempt_v he_o to_o come_v and_o take_v up_o a_o pack_n who_o remember_v the_o last_o time_n he_o can_v never_o get_v it_o off_o before_o he_o fall_v sick_a and_o be_v throw_v in_o the_o hedge_n and_o last_o although_o he_o see_v a_o great_a part_n of_o his_o companion_n dye_v under_o their_o burden_n none_o will_v be_v so_o merciful_a to_o they_o as_o to_o give_v they_o a_o fortnight_n rest_n in_o several_a year_n this_o may_v seem_v a_o foolish_a comparison_n but_o child_n and_o fool_n be_v say_v to_o tell_v truth_n and_o so_o much_o to_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o certain_a time_n when_o seaman_n shall_v be_v discharge_v i_o fear_v there_o will_v be_v no_o certainty_n of_o their_o come_n in_o for_o time_n to_o come_v free_o and_o so_o much_o to_o that_o 3_o if_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o two_o most_o honourable_a house_n will_v advance_v all_o able_a seamen_n pay_v four_o or_o five_o shilling_n the_o month_n this_o may_v be_v the_o way_n to_o encourage_v the_o seaman_n of_o england_n to_o serve_v more_o cheerful_o and_o free_o four_o all_o ordinary_a seamen_n pay_n but_o two_o shilling_n the_o month_n that_o they_o may_v all_o strive_v to_o be_v able_a seaman_n 5th_o that_o all_o apprentice_n may_v be_v encourage_v when_o they_o be_v honest_a and_o punish_v when_o they_o be_v not_o that_o be_v their_o master_n to_o have_v twelve_o shilling_n the_o month_n and_o they_o themselves_o the_o remainder_n that_o be_v if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o deserve_v but_o eighteen_o shilling_n the_o month_n to_o have_v four_o shilling_n themselves_o to_o buy_v they_o clothes_n if_o man_n to_o be_v pay_v nine_o shilling_n and_o if_o a_o able_a seaman_n to_o be_v pay_v the_o remainder_n of_o the_o pay_n as_o able_a seaman_n be_v and_o this_o i_o propose_v because_o i_o have_v know_v several_a apprentice_n shift_v and_o run_v to_o and_o fro_o from_o ship_n have_v beggare_v their_o master_n and_o dame_n and_o the_o king_n lose_v their_o service_n at_o last_o it_o may_v be_v as_o their_o master_n and_o dame_n do_v their_o pay_n but_o if_o they_o have_v encouragement_n themselves_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v stay_v in_o their_o ship_n and_o if_o they_o do_v not_o to_o be_v liable_a to_o serve_v their_o time_n over_o again_o or_o pay_v for_o it_o and_o also_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o will_v be_v certain_a who_o shall_v have_v their_o pay_n and_o that_o have_v not_o be_v this_o war_n sometime_o the_o prentice_n shall_v have_v all_o and_o the_o master_n none_o and_o sometime_o their_o master_n all_o and_o the_o prentice_n may_v starve_v for_o bread_n or_o clothes_n their_o master_n it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o they_o take_v little_a care_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v provide_v for_o when_o sick_a and_o almost_o naked_a 6._o see_v all_o seaman_n to_o be_v encourage_v to_o be_v able_a seaman_n and_o midship-man_n and_o officer_n as_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o not_o let_v any_o captain_n be_v boy_n receive_v midship-men_n pay_n for_o their_o master_n and_o the_o brave_a courageous_a loyal_a seaman_n that_o serve_v indeed_o for_o midship-man_n to_o be_v pay_v but_o as_o able_a or_o to_o be_v split_v their_o pay_n one_o midship-man_n pay_n between_o two_o man_n and_o this_o will_v encourage_v all_o seaman_n that_o have_v brain_n and_o art_n to_o strive_v for_o preferment_n and_o not_o have_v lieutenant_n put_v over_o they_o that_o never_o see_v a_o gun_n fire_v in_o anger_n it_o may_v be_v this_o war._n 7._o as_o few_o seaman_n as_o possible_a to_o be_v turn_v from_o ship_n to_o

in_o course_n and_o that_o within_o three_o month_n at_o far_a after_o the_o turn_n over_o and_o none_o to_o buy_v any_o of_o they_o at_o above_z 3_o s_z at_o most_o in_o the_o pound_n profit_n on_o

above_o 4_o s_o or_o at_o most_o 5_o s_o in_o the_o pound_n profit_n may_v pay_v to_o the_o party_n grieve_v and_o oppress_v 2_o s_o back_o for_o every_o shilling_n more_o profit_n and_o that_o will_v

double_a be_v but_o 10_o s_o so_o that_o the_o poor_a extort_a ruin_a seaman_n will_v have_v but_o 20_o s_o at_o last_o for_o 20_o s_o and_o if_o any_o say_v there_o be_v no_o law_n against_o these_o extortion_v villain_n for_o time_n past_a to_o that_o i_o answer_v i_o do_v suppose_v unless_o the_o extortioner_n be_v worse_o than_o heathen_n there_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o christ_n to_o do_v as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o second_o unless_o those_o extortioner_n be_v worse_o than_o turk_n i_o have_v be_v often_o inform_v that_o the_o turk_n will_v severe_o correct_v a_o jew_n if_o he_o take_v more_o than_o a_o moderate_a profit_n of_o a_o christian_a they_o will_v beat_v the_o jew_n severe_o and_o i_o do_v suppose_v that_o such_o dreadful_a curse_a wretched_a extortioner_n as_o have_v buy_v some_o seman_n pay_n at_o near_o a_o quarter_n of_o the_o value_n be_v never_o hear_v of_o among_o turk_n or_o indian_n or_o the_o most_o savage_a and_o barbarous_a nation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o those_o very_a seaman_n who_o be_v so_o ruin_v to_o lose_v their_o health_n and_o life_n in_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o very_a nation_n where_o these_o extortioner_n must_v live_v or_o be_v slave_n themselves_o and_o lose_v all_o at_o last_o and_o i_o consider_v that_o if_o david_n will_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o bethlehem_n when_o the_o three_o mighty_a man_n have_v venture_v their_o life_n to_o fetch_v it_o but_o say_v god_n forbid_v be_v it_o not_o their_o blood_n then_o how_o can_v these_o nation_n expect_v to_o thrive_v that_o put_v by_o the_o poor_a miserable_a seman_n widow_n from_o their_o pay_n that_o be_v earn_v not_o only_o with_o the_o peril_n of_o their_o husband_n life_n but_o even_o fall_v sick_a and_o actual_o die_v on_o shore_n by_o reason_n thereof_o or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o very_o like_a injustice_n or_o unmercifulness_n and_o cruelty_n to_o cause_v so_o great_a multitude_n to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o pay_n who_o have_v not_o be_v one_o day_n or_o month_n hardly_o out_o of_o the_o service_n for_o several_a year_n as_o by_o the_o ship_n be_v book_n will_v appear_v except_o by_o sickness_n or_o death_n that_o can_v be_v prove_v and_o if_o those_o who_o have_v help_v to_o throw_v more_o misery_n on_o they_o be_v the_o only_a man_n that_o be_v in_o this_o nation_n to_o relieve_v they_o the_o lord_n for_o chrift_n sake_n preserve_v all_o landman_n from_o fall_v into_o such_o distress_n for_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v to_o these_o nation_n in_o judgement_n the_o same_o measure_n you_o meet_v shall_v be_v measure_v to_o you_o again_o it_o will_v be_v sad_a but_o what_o he_o will_v do_v be_v know_v only_o to_o himself_o and_o what_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v to_o stir_v i_o up_o to_o write_v this_o he_o only_o know_v and_o 8thly_a therefore_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v care_n take_v what_o seaman_n must_v do_v for_o time_n to_o come_v if_o they_o be_v set_v sick_a on_o shore_n and_o the_o ship_n go_v away_o before_o they_o be_v well_o to_o secure_v their_o pay_n for_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o all_o mankind_n that_o have_v grace_n or_o reason_n yea_o or_o common_a sense_n whether_o it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o when_o there_o be_v several_a sick_a man_n in_o ship_n and_o they_o set_v on_o shoar_n some_o in_o one_o

that_o have_v be_v there_o discharge_v and_o pay_v off_o will_v please_v the_o seaman_n increase_v they_o save_v their_o life_n and_o pay_n and_o if_o so_o there_o may_v be_v a_o law_n make_v to_o cause_v all_o master_n to_o register_v they_o that_o come_v home_o for_o the_o king_n use_n before_o they_o be_v pay_v and_o all_o other_o register_n will_v be_v too_o short_a there_o be_v it_o may_v be_v 40000_o seaman_n bachelor_n or_o such_o as_o can_v be_v find_v to_o be_v register_v but_o lodge_v 40_o or_o 50_o in_o a_o house_n and_o if_o register_v there_o can_v be_v go_v 100_o mile_n next_o week_n but_o good_a pay_n their_o life_n preserve_v and_o good_a love_a commnader_n that_o will_v fight_v with_o their_o enemy_n and_o be_v as_o kind_a to_o the_o seaman_n as_o lamb_n will_v set_v

that_o be_v send_v to_o the_o hospital_n or_o continue_v a_o year_n or_o 2_o sick_a must_v not_o be_v cheat_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n or_o have_v that_o barbarous_a word_n tell_v to_o a_o perish_a

poor_n book_n in_o the_o suburb_n below_o the_o tower_n smell_v very_o strong_a of_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o seamen_n family_n our_o tax_n for_o the_o poor_a be_v double_v and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o that_o will_v grudge_n to_o give_v a_o poor_a ruin_a seaman_n family_n 2_o do_v to_o buy_v they_o bread_n if_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o starve_v may_v yet_o blame_v i_o for_o trouble_v my_o head_n with_o their_o case_n and_o ruin_n and_o misery_n but_o however_o my_o conscience_n bear_v i_o witness_n that_o i_o serve_v god_n and_o king_n william_n and_o the_o good_a old_a english_a interest_n in_o what_o i_o do_v and_o so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v sweet_a peace_n within_o i_o can_v so_o much_o as_o fear_v any_o thing_n of_o trouble_n can_v hurt_v i_o for_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v learn_v in_o part_n as_o a_o christian_a to_o be_v content_a with_o what_o god_n allot_v i_o and_o i_o have_v also_o learn_v this_o principle_n that_o a_o honest_a man_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o injury_n a_o man_n may_v kill_v he_o but_o can_v hurt_v he_o and_o now_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o make_v i_o think_v of_o some_o that_o threaten_v to_o sacrifice_v i_o last_o year_n and_o when_o the_o news_n be_v bring_v my_o dear_a wife_n she_o be_v fright_v but_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o fear_v it_o not_o for_o as_o god_n carry_v i_o on_o that_o i_o can_v let_v the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o cruelty_n and_o injustice_n that_o be_v exercise_v on_o our_o english_a seaman_n more_o than_o ever_o the_o world_n see_v to_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n so_o by_o the_o

that_o will_v bear_v i_o up_o but_o if_o all_o the_o reason_n and_o understanding_n i_o have_v leave_v do_v not_o fail_v i_o i_o have_v all_o the_o common_a policy_n of_o my_o side_n that_o can_v be_v

the_o seaman_n be_v oppress_v and_o ruin_v they_o and_o their_o family_n as_o multitude_n have_v be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n will_v awake_v against_o the_o nation_n and_o 2._o i_o do_v also_o very_o judge_v if_o there_o be_v no_o provoke_v evil_a in_o their_o ruin_n they_o be_v ruin_v so_o mad_o and_o dead_a and_o run_v away_o so_o shameful_o that_o it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o spoil_v ourselves_o at_o last_o if_o it_o proceed_v much_o far_o for_o their_o ruin_n do_v increase_v the_o pretence_n of_o keep_v they_o turn_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n or_o catch_v they_o next_o

long_o in_o ship_n kill_v ten_o time_n more_o than_o the_o sword_n and_o god_n forbid_v that_o the_o french_a shall_v bave_v cause_n to_o rejoice_v and_o say_v as_o long_o as_o this_o war_n last_v he_o need_v not_o fight_v to_o kill_v our_o man_n for_o they_o die_v fast_o without_o his_o fight_n and_o in_o short_a if_o this_o war_n have_v be_v a_o game_n at_o card_n i_o shall_v have_v fear_v some_o gamester_n play_v booty_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o suit_n of_o law_n i_o shall_v have_v very_o judge_v there_o be_v some_o take_v double_a fe_n but_o my_o wander_a rove_a brain_n do_v rather_o think_v our_o sea-affair_n look_v more_o like_a that_o rude_a play_n call_v blind_a man_n buff_n for_o we_o have_v have_v several_a scurvy_a hard_a blow_n that_o we_o can_v not_o well_o tell_v who_o it_o be_v that_o do_v hit_v we_o but_o however_o it_o be_v my_o wisdom_n be_v too_o small_a to_o unriddle_v the_o whole_a although_o i_o have_v abundance_n of_o secret_a notion_n that_o at_o present_a

that_o be_v either_o to_o hold_v or_o decide_v some_o of_o the_o stake_n have_v get_v great_a estate_n let_v as_o many_o gamester_n as_o will_n be_v ruin_v now_o that_o i_o will_v leave_v to_o those_o who_o have_v more_o skill_n to_o determine_v i_o be_o almost_o ashamed_a of_o this_o ramble_a discourse_n and_o will_v now_o say_v what_o come_v next_o to_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o secure_v our_o wall_n and_o if_o the_o seaman_n be_v call_v our_o wall_n they_o have_v need_v to_o be_v repair_v all_o that_o be_v possible_a and_o if_o any_o say_v great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v new_a one_o and_o so_o shall_v last_v well_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v it_o may_v fall_v out_o the_o new_a they_o be_v the_o more_o apt_a to_o fall_v whereas_o those_o which_o be_v old_a and_o season_v if_o preserve_v any_o thing_n like_o will_v do_v better_o and_o to_o that_o i_o may_v say_v perhaps_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o for_o in_o england_n we_o need_v never_o want_v man_n for_o the_o sea_n but_o seaman_n be_v man_n season_v to_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v observe_v that_o our_o brave_a seaman_n that_o have_v be_v 7_o year_n in_o the_o service_n they_o never_o have_v a_o penny_n bounty-mony_n in_o the_o spring_n it_o be_v they_o that_o come_v in_o afterward_o get_v bounty-mony_n and_o i_o have_v wonder_v those_o that_o manage_v the_o seaman_n do_v not_o think_v of_o some_o encouragement_n for_o those_o who_o stand_v all_o the_o time_n as_o well_o as_o for_o those_o who_o come_v in_o the_o last_o week_n it_o be_v a_o old_a say_n in_o england_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o master_n make_v the_o horse_n fat_a and_o indeed_o if_o our_o most_o gracious_a king_n william_n have_v be_v right_o inform_v to_o have_v see_v the_o case_n of_o his_o loyal_a seaman_n they_o will_v have_v be_v in_o better_a plight_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o victual_v of_o our_o english_a navy_n be_v the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v allow_v they_o if_o they_o have_v what_o the_o king_n allow_v and_o therefore_o 39_o it_o be_v well_o for_o the_o seaman_n if_o the_o purser_n be_v bind_v and_o make_v to_o take_v all_o the_o sea-stores_a on_o board_n of_o ship_n and_o neither_o to_o receive_v any_o short_a at_o the_o office_n at_o first_o neither_o to_o sell_v any_o away_o before_o they_o come_v as_o far_o as_o my_o
