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

penny_n for_o they_o honesty_n i_o will_v not_o say_v what_o they_o must_v do_v but_o i_o will_v say_v if_o they_o be_v not_o prevent_v they_o that_o please_v to_o give_v their_o mind_n to_o it_o and_o have_v ticket_n at_o their_o command_n i_o fear_v can_v get_v power_n fill_v up_o and_o witness_v by_o themselves_o or_o other_o officer_n and_o leave_v blank_n for_o such_o name_n to_o receive_v they_o as_o may_v serve_v to_o be_v put_v in_o afterward_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v my_o advice_n that_o if_o the_o parliament_n please_v they_o shall_v make_v it_o felony_n and_o transportation_n to_o receive_v a_o seaman_n pay_n by_o a_o wrong_a power_n for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o if_o they_o have_v be_v seaman_n and_o cheat_v of_o their_o pay_n ten_o time_n as_o often_o as_o man_n have_v robe_v on_o the_o highway_n or_o have_v their_o pocket_n pick_v at_o land_n they_o will_v have_v strive_v to_o make_v a_o law_n against_o cheat_v for_o time_n tu_fw-mi come_v and_o not_o leave_v it_o to_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o hinder_v small_a officer_n from_o receive_v money_n by_o a_o lawful_a power_n although_o they_o feed_v they_o and_o clothe_v they_o several_a year_n before_o to_o assist_v they_o whsle_n they_o serve_v the_o king_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n leave_v so_o many_o way_n open_a to_o cheat_v the_o king_n and_o the_o seaman_n by_o other_o officer_n still_o in_o private_a way_n instead_o of_o those_o hundred_o of_o pound_n in_o a_o ship_n receive_v for_o the_o captain_n of_o seman_n pay_n public_o in_o former_a year_n poverty_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o you_o will_v meddle_v with_o such_o disease_n as_o be_v noli_fw-la i_o tangery_n that_o though_o they_o be_v hear_v of_o public_o now_o and_o then_o as_o the_o noli_fw-la i_o tangere_fw-la be_v in_o the_o weekly_a bill_n yet_o hardly_o one_o in_o a_o hundred_o know_v what_o a_o dreadful_a distemper_n it_o be_v although_o some_o die_v of_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o pray_v if_o you_o meet_v with_o any_o office_n that_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o ruine_n and_o plague_a of_o the_o seaman_n as_o the_o house_n of_o some_o be_v of_o old_a in_o israel_n with_o the_o leprosy_n that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v cleanse_v until_o the_o very_a wall_n be_v scrape_v and_o although_o the_o whole_a priesthood_n shall_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n judge_v they_o unclean_a pray_v honesty_n say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o and_o when_o you_o hear_v i_o have_v be_v sick_a a_o year_n or_o two_o or_o in_o the_o hospital_n and_o run_v out_o of_o my_o pay_n to_o the_o ruin_n of_o my_o family_n and_o i_o and_o my_o family_n cry_v and_o groan_v to_o heaven_n for_o relief_n or_o vengeance_n and_o other_o of_o my_o poor_a poverty_n brethren_n be_v cry_v to_o heaven_n and_o hell_n for_o damnation_n against_o they_o that_o ruin_n they_o and_o run_v away_o to_o other_o nation_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v mercy_n and_o justice_n there_o pray_v hold_v your_o peace_n for_o time_n to_o come_v let_v thing_n sink_v or_o swim_v you_o have_v do_v your_o duty_n and_o you_o be_v sensible_a every_o leaf_n you_o write_v must_v be_v such_o as_o must_v be_v true_a before_o god_n and_o man_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o and_o now_o you_o may_v admire_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o keep_v you_o hitherro_fw-la as_o in_o mercy_n you_o have_v be_v hitherto_o honesty_n that_o be_v true_a and_o that_o i_o only_o trust_v to_o the_o infinite_a free_a grace_n and_o free_a love_n and_o rich_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o i_o and_o all_o i_o in_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n

that_o there_o be_v a_o age_n wherein_o it_o be_v say_v hold_v thy_o peace_n for_o we_o may_v not_o mention_v the_o name_n of_o our_o god_n but_o do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o those_o sad_a and_o

wary_a how_o you_o discourse_v about_o those_o sort_n of_o man_n honesty_n i_o bless_v god_n i_o have_v no_o prejudice_n against_o the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n in_o england_n and_o know_v not_o any_o man_n in_o england_n but_o i_o will_v show_v he_o a_o civil_a kindness_n and_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v hardly_o a_o man_n but_o will_v do_v the_o like_a by_o i_o if_o occasion_n be_v and_o i_o find_v anger_n be_v often_o folly_n but_o malice_n be_v the_o devil_n and_o a_o dreadful_a burden_n certain_o for_o any_o man_n to_o carry_v and_o i_o bless_v god_n who_o keep_v i_o clear_a of_o that_o hitherto_o as_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v keep_v from_o flattery_n and_o that_o make_v i_o write_v such_o plain_a honest_a homely_a english_a to_o serve_v my_o king_n and_o country_n without_o much_o mind_v who_o be_v please_v or_o displease_v and_o that_o make_v i_o labour_n as_o hearty_o to_o endeavour_v the_o preserve_n of_o our_o life_n and_o liberty_n and_o encouragement_n of_o our_o

and_o therefore_o have_v say_v it_o may_v be_v too_o much_o i_o may_v pass_v over_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o art_n of_o ticket-buying_a in_o silence_n for_o want_v of_o time_n and_o patience_n and_o so_o say_v little_a of_o the_o buyer_n skill_n in_o get_v the_o poor_a wretch_n in_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o great_a of_o misery_n make_v they_o drink_v and_o get_v their_o pay_n as_o they_o please_v or_o of_o any_o buy_n at_o five_o shilling_n and_o pay_v they_o part_n of_o their_o money_n and_o then_o afterward_o will_v have_v they_o at_o ten_o shilling_n profit_n or_o demand_v their_o money_n again_o and_o extort_v money_n for_o extortion_v interest_n beside_o trouble_v if_o they_o can_v pay_v the_o money_n neither_o mind_n i_o to_o represent_v how_o there_o have_v be_v some_o hundred_o of_o pound_n worth_a of_o ticket_n offer_v without_o power_n at_o a_o time_n in_o one_o ship_n neither_o the_o make_v out_o of_o twenty_o hog_n alias_o seman_n ticket_n in_o one_o

if_o i_o pay_v about_o twelve_o pound_n the_o year_n this_o war_n tax_n as_o i_o have_v do_v it_o be_v but_o forty_o shilling_n charge_v extraordinary_a the_o year_n and_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v

about_o ten_o year_n purchase_v for_o my_o six_o part_n of_o the_o say_v twelve_o pound_n and_o i_o bless_v god_n i_o be_v never_o employ_v by_o any_o to_o do_v it_o but_o as_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n stir_v i_o up_o out_o of_o a_o true_a design_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o my_o king_n and_o country_n and_o i_o never_o have_v to_o my_o knowledge_n ten_o shilling_n

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

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 grace_n of_o god_n he_o carry_v i_o above_o fear_n of_o any_o suffering_n so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v truth_n on_o my_o side_n and_o those_o two_o grace_n of_o my_o side_n justice_z and_o mercy_n 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 imagine_v and_o now_o i_o speak_v to_o that_o i_o will_v be_v plain_a heart_a and_o declare_v my_o opinion_n that_o i_o do_v very_o think_v if_o there_o be_v no_o policy_n on_o my_o side_n that_o if_o 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 day_n or_o the_o same_o they_o be_v pay_v and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o liberty_n of_o fresh_a air_n and_o fresh_a provision_n experience_n show_v the_o salt_n sea_n and_o salt_n victual_n in_o stay_v 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 serve_v for_o my_o own_o instruction_n and_o this_o that_o i_o write_v be_v something_o that_o bubble_n over_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v go_v far_o and_o say_v whatever_o the_o game_n be_v some_o 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 house_n and_o that_o be_v not_o a_o mile_n from_o the_o victualling-office_n and_o then_o ship_n need_v not_o go_v to_o shortallowance_n often_o in_o 14_o day_n after_o they_o be_v at_o sea_n and_o if_o that_o be_v prevent_v it_o be_v well_o but_o it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v plead_v they_o can_v answer_v it_o because_o if_o they_o be_v find_v out_o they_o must_v pay_v for_o it_o now_o to_o that_o i_o
