have_v be_v eclipse_v and_o lessen_v by_o the_o captain_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o navy_n and_o the_o ancient_a custom_n much_o break_v for_o the_o authority_n and_o business_n of_o some_o have_v be_v stretch_v to_o that_o length_n that_o they_o themselves_o know_v not_o the_o end_n but_o of_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v when_o i_o come_v to_o their_o particular_a post_n as_o for_o a_o

by_o which_o the_o service_n may_v be_v further_v but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o case_n be_v much_o alter_v and_o the_o hinge_n of_o that_o affair_n quite_o lame_a they_o will_v not_o move_v any_o way_n except_o you_o will_v have_v they_o go_v backward_o but_o i_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o particular_n lest_o i_o shall_v come_v within_o the_o account_n of_o a_o informer_n the_o which_o be_v reckon_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a odium_n in_o the_o navy-affair_n but_o i_o great_o admire_v that_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o upper-rank_n shall_v brand_v any_o one_o that_o let_v they_o know_v of_o any_o fowl_n fact_n with_o the_o odium_n of_o a_o informer_n and_o seem_o nay_o open_o treat_v he_o unkind_o it_o have_v seem_v strange_a unto_o i_o and_o look_v like_o the_o unjust_a steward_n who_o not_o only_o wrong_v his_o master_n himself_o but_o show_v other_o to_o do_v it_o or_o look_v like_o a_o great_a man_n steward_n who_o discourage_v or_o be_v angry_a with_o any_o one_o that_o come_v to_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o such_o a_o one_o have_v cozen_v his_o master_n or_o steal_v his_o good_n of_o which_o he_o be_v the_o head_n steward_n what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o general_o in_o the_o navy-office_n and_o through_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o navy_n one_o that_o inform_v of_o cozenage_n or_o theft_n in_o the_o navy_n be_v style_v with_o a_o odium_n and_o

but_o in_o my_o mind_n these_o two_o person_n be_v the_o king_n friend_n the_o former_a to_o deter_v thief_n and_o unjust_a man_n from_o their_o evil_a practice_n and_o the_o latter_a i_o shall_v

they_o as_o evil_a man_n and_o not_o fit_a to_o negotiate_v in_o the_o navy_n but_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o at_o present_a but_o hide_v my_o face_n with_o shame_n and_o follow_v my_o discourse_n
