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

this_o 2_o year_n of_o some_o officer_n cheat_v the_o king_n and_o the_o seaman_n of_o their_o ticket_n and_o pay_v there_o be_v a_o order_n they_o must_v receive_v no_o man_n pay_n but_o their_o

out_o of_o their_o pay_n without_o petition_v which_o if_o there_o be_v twenty_o thousand_o turn_n over_o in_o a_o year_n may_v make_v work_n for_o the_o clerk_n of_o the_o petition_n and_o his_o

and_o will_v not_o this_o be_v brave_a time_n for_o he_o but_o i_o remember_v in_o all_o calamity_n some_o dreadful_a wretch_n get_v money_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o plague_n of_o london_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n many_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dunghill_n on_o the_o ruin_n of_o other_o but_o why_o poor_a seaman_n themselves_o or_o their_o poor_a wife_n shall_v not_o have_v liberty_n to_o get_v a_o clerk_n to_o search_v the_o book_n to_o see_v if_o they_o be_v cheat_v of_o their_o pay_n or_o no_o before_o payday_n be_v sad_a but_o i_o confess_v it_o be_v a_o good_a way_n to_o hide_v knavery_n for_o if_o money_n be_v say_v to_o be_v pay_v the_o party_n and_o be_v not_o and_o he_o appear_v himself_o it_o be_v a_o timely_a notice_n to_o get_v another_o book_n to_o show_v he_o that_o it_o be_v only_o order_v to_o be_v pay_v he_o but_o if_o he_o be_v dead_a or_o go_v and_o never_o come_v himself_o than_o it_o may_v stand_v pay_v the_o party_n until_o doomsday_n and_o if_o he_o come_v it_o be_v a_o mistake_n and_o beside_o this_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o the_o book_n may_v be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o extortioner_n and_o ticket-buyer_n if_o they_o get_v the_o book_n search_v private_o they_o may_v buy_v as_o they_o please_v and_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o turn_v the_o blind_a out_o of_o their_o way_n see_v the_o seman_n wife_n have_v most_o time_n nothing_o but_o the_o book_n to_o know_v what_o be_v due_a and_o if_o they_o be_v run_v at_o payday_n it_o may_v be_v be_v force_v to_o petition_n and_o stay_v for_o their_o money_n another_o year_n and_o this_o be_v misery_n to_o misery_n 10._o therefore_o i_o think_v they_o ought_v for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o have_v no_o seaman_n discharge_v without_o a_o ticket_n and_o no_o officer_n keep_v his_o ticket_n on_o pain_n of_o felony_n for_o in_o plain_a english_a which_o be_v worst_a a_o pickpocket_n steal_v a_o guinea_n or_o two_o from_o a_o gentleman_n or_o a_o captain_n of_o a_o man_n of_o war_n to_o take_v a_o seaman_n ticket_n from_o he_o of_o ten_o pound_n and_o it_o may_v be_v the_o poor_a seaman_n nor_o his_o wife_n and_o family_n have_v not_o a_o groat_n in_o the_o world_n to_o buy_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v not_o relief_n to_o poor_a ruin_a seaman_n i_o will_v never_o more_o wonder_v we_o fool_n away_o knock_v on_o the_o head_n betray_v and_o destroy_v so_o many_o man_n of_o war_n and_o merchant_n ship_n but_o 11._o and_o none_o to_o wait_v above_o one_o payment_n for_o one_o ticket_n also_o for_o time_n to_o come_v and_o not_o wait_v 3_o year_n for_o 30_o s_o at_o two_o payment_n of_o a_o ticket_n as_o have_v be_v common_a this_o war_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o misery_n to_o misery_n and_o to_o prevent_v that_o 12._o as_o few_o as_o possible_a to_o be_v turn_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n but_o when_o ship_n come_v in_o pay_v they_o off_o as_o they_o come_v in_o some_o one_o time_n and_o some_o another_o and_o the_o man_n have_v a_o month_n liberty_n to_o come_v on_o shore_n and_o gather_v health_n and_o strength_n and_o spend_v their_o money_n and_o when_o their_o money_n be_v go_v their_o friend_n will_v quick_o send_v they_o to_o sea_n again_o without_o press_v and_o that_o will_v be_v good_a for_o king_n and_o country_n and_o if_o man_n see_v they_o be_v not_o shift_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n like_o slave_n they_o will_v when_o pay_v off_o on_o shore_n as_o in_o other_o age_n have_v encouragement_n to_o come_v into_o the_o service_n again_o and_o bring_v their_o child_n servant_n and_o friend_n with_o they_o but_o if_o they_o find_v they_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o liberty_n all_o their_o day_n when_o once_o they_o come_v and_o of_o their_o property_n when_o sick_a and_o die_v no_o marvel_n if_o they_o be_v glad_a to_o get_v away_o and_o i_o will_v ask_v all_o mankind_n and_o will_v appeal_v to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n the_o king_n service_n now_o shall_v be_v more_o a_o prison_n than_o in_o other_o age_n and_o why_o so_o gracious_a a_o king_n service_n shall_v be_v make_v such_o a_o bugbear_n now_o and_o such_o loss_n of_o liberty_n property_n and_o life_n to_o the_o seaman_n now_o more_o than_o in_o any_o age_n of_o the_o world_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o unmerciful_a unjust_a and_o a_o unreasonable_a argument_n to_o pretend_v the_o seaman_n can_v be_v admit_v to_o come_v on_o shore_n to_o be_v pay_v now_o as_o in_o other_o age_n because_o they_o will_v run_v away_o whereas_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o be_v keep_v turn_v and_o toss_v from_o ship_n to_o ship_n until_o more_o die_n than_o will_v man_n the_o fleet_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n also_o more_o run_v away_o from_o the_o service_n than_o will_v man_n it_o all_o and_o half_o over_o again_o and_o if_o they_o be_v run_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n wrongful_o it_o be_v shameful_a and_o

than_o have_v run_v away_o in_o this_o nation_n i_o do_v very_o suppose_v this_o fifty_o year_n if_o all_o the_o old_a book_n and_o new_a book_n be_v search_v so_o that_o i_o say_v experience_n show_v the_o misery_n of_o that_o argument_n of_o pay_v they_o on_o board_n ship_n by_o the_o loss_n of_o near_o forty_o thousand_o life_n and_o sixty_o or_o seventy_o thousand_o man_n pay_n whereas_o have_v their_o life_n be_v preserve_v and_o their_o pay_n encourage_v on_o shore_n in_o all_o likelihood_n seaman_n will_v have_v be_v so_o increase_v and_o thereby_o their_o pay_n in_o merchant_n ship_n near_o half_a jess_n that_o consider_v the_o hazard_n of_o lose_a voyage_n in_o merchant_n ship_n they_o will_v there_o have_v thousand_o of_o they_o prove_v my_o word_n good_a that_o i_o use_v to_o say_v to_o they_o at_o first_o that_o the_o king_n service_n be_v the_o best_a in_o england_n no_o half_a pay_n no_o damage_n no_o lose_a voyage_n and_o if_o pinch_v of_o their_o diet_n the_o king_n pay_v the_o pinch-gut-mony_n also_o honest_o and_o thus_o i_o will_v by_o the_o way_n consider_v that_o we_o can_v expect_v to_o be_v in_o safety_n for_o time_n to_o come_v without_o we_o do_v by_o humility_n justice_n and_o mercy_n engage_v god_n to_o stand_v by_o we_o and_o give_v we_o wisdom_n and_o his_o blessing_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o two_o as_o to_o outward_a mean_n in_o a_o visible_a way_n we_o can_v be_v safe_a and_o happy_a in_o time_n of_o peace_n or_o war_n without_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o seaman_n in_o england_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o though_o now_o we_o have_v the_o dutch_a unite_v with_o we_o and_o it_o may_v be_v save_o 20_o or_o 30_o ship_n and_o 10000_o man_n the_o time_n may_v fall_v out_o we_o may_v stand_v alone_o and_o two_o what_o have_v be_v may_v be_v and_o the_o french_a and_o another_o nation_n have_v join_v against_o we_o and_o then_o we_o need_v double_a the_o strength_n and_o number_n of_o man_n we_o have_v now_o and_o that_o to_o maintain_v a_o war_n and_o merchant_n trade_n both_o and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o that_o we_o be_v ruin_v for_o want_n of_o trade_n therefore_o this_o i_o will_v say_v though_o our_o loss_n have_v be_v dreadful_a this_o war_n and_o god_n know_v many_o of_o they_o blindfold_o and_o scandalous_a and_o ignorant_a yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n we_o trade_v our_o poor_a
