A35156	England's glory reviv'd, demonstrated in several propositions shewing an easie and speedy method for fully manning the Royal Navy with saylers, without charge or obstruction to trade : as likewise reasons proving from whence all our losses have happen'd, with proper remedies for the better securing of trade for the future : by making due provision for all saylers that shall be wounded (or the widows and children of such of them as shall be slain) in the publick service, and the building of hospitals ... : as likewise propositions for an act of tonnage / by Robert Crosfeild.

for_o shall_v he_o have_v fall_v our_o candlestick_n will_v have_v be_v remove_v and_o our_o church_n and_o nation_n have_v become_v a_o prey_n to_o our_o enemy_n but_o god_n of_o his_o wonderful_a

with_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o public_a be_v not_o more_o timely_o serve_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v plain_a for_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o sailor_n that_o

they_o will_v get_v more_o money_n than_o the_o king_n pay_n will_v amount_v to_o in_o the_o whole_a year_n and_o have_v their_o pay_n so_o soon_o as_o their_o voyage_n be_v over_o whereas_o the_o

all_o our_o riches_n flow_v it_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v the_o bullion_n and_o coin_n into_o the_o kingdom_n beside_o our_o plantation_n abroad_o can_v subsist_v without_o frequent_a supply_n
