A44082	An humble representation of the seamens misery in the loss and abuse of them in their payment, and their being oftentimes extorted out of the one half of it by some, and cheated of it all by others with the mistery of some officers and masters, humbly represented to His Majesty, and the two most honourable houses, the Lords and Commons of England in Parliament assembled ...

allowance_n beer_n and_o i_o can_v buy_v sour_a decay_a wine_n that_o be_v almost_o like_a vinegar_n and_o one_o hogshead_n go_v as_o far_o as_o four_o good_a one_o and_o so_o kill_v some_o of_o the_o

seven_o if_o the_o captain_n make_v out_o forty_o or_o fifty_o ticket_n for_o seaman_n i_o must_v sign_v they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v his_o clerk_n and_o i_o will_v smuggle_v twenty_o more_o and_o

nine_o hundred_o pound_n one_o voyage_n but_o say_v he_o by_o that_o time_n i_o go_v to_o a_o procurer_n and_o get_v a_o whore_n and_o a_o bottle_n of_o hedge-wine_n a_o ticket_n be_v present_o go_v from_o whence_o i_o observe_v three_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o diversion_n first_o bad-gotten_a good_n seldom_o do_v prosper_v and_o second_o as_o the_o gentleman_n say_v by_o his_o monkey_n a_o bad_a

yet_o daily_o improve_v but_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v tell_v all_o the_o trick_n that_o can_v be_v play_v to_o get_v money_n in_o a_o pursers_n employment_n it_o may_v cause_v the_o price_n to_o rise_v double_a before_o i_o purchase_v one_o but_o however_o they_o must_v remember_v to_o be_v kind_a to_o the_o commander_n in_o give_v they_o fresh_a provision_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o trade_n of_o a_o cheat_a purser_n and_o i_o suppose_v those_o that_o be_v honest_a need_v not_o be_v offend_v with_o i_o for_o it_o hurt_v not_o they_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o sore_a place_n a_o little_a rub_v of_o other_o will_v do_v they_o no_o hurt_n to_o be_v sure_a and_o if_o any_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v hurt_v i_o shall_v fear_v it_o be_v something_o amiss_o with_o he_o but_o if_o he_o smile_v in_o my_o face_n and_o be_v please_v i_o will_v then_o conclude_v he_o be_v a_o sound_n man._n and_o so_o much_o to_o that_o the_o honest_a will_v be_v glad_a if_o other_o be_v mend_v but_o as_o to_o the_o gunner_n the_o honest_a man_n i_o hope_v will_v not_o be_v displease_v to_o hear_v some_o have_v be_v such_o fool_n to_o play_v the_o thief_n until_o they_o be_v hang_v for_o steal_v of_o their_o master_n powder_n but_o i_o wonder_v how_o it_o shall_v almost_o come_v to_o light_n for_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o one_o pennyworth_n of_o profit_n any_o one_o have_v to_o discover_v any_o good_n steal_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o i_o fear_v if_o any_o seaman_n discover_v it_o they_o must_v expect_v rather_o to_o be_v beat_v by_o some_o small_a officer_n then_o reward_v with_o preferment_n for_o discover_v the_o theft_n of_o the_o gunner_n but_o i_o do_v remember_v one_o gunner_n have_v hide_v seventy_o four_o barrel_n of_o powder_n and_o honest_a loyal_a captain_n mitchel_n make_v his_o man_n search_v twice_o and_o at_o last_o find_v it_o and_o send_v the_o gunner_n to_o the_o marshalsea_n and_o he_o come_v off_o because_o it_o be_v not_o sell_v away_o and_o i_o think_v the_o carpenter_n and_o gunner_n of_o the_o exeter_n be_v like_a to_o have_v come_v short_a home_o but_o it_o seem_v they_o have_v other_o to_o convey_v away_o their_o prize_n and_o so_o escape_v first_o but_o the_o next_o time_n be_v not_o long_o after_o the_o gunner_n powder_n take_v fire_n and_o blow_v up_o near_o a_o hundred_o man_n and_o so_o the_o pretty_a gunner_n be_v hang_v for_o all_o there_o be_v but_o twenty_o barrel_n of_o powder_n and_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v multiply_v and_o divide_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o loss_n and_o gain_n with_o time_n if_o one_o ship_n steal_v twenty_o barrel_n and_o another_o ship_n hide_v seventy_o barrel_n what_o may_v one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o ship_n do_v and_o if_o one_o year_n do_v so_o much_o what_o may_v seven_o year_n do_v and_o the_o price_n of_o powder_n i_o do_v hear_v be_v fifteen_o pound_n the_o barrel_n at_o new_a england_n before_o the_o nonsuch_n come_v away_o and_o i_o judge_v the_o gunner_n buy_v none_o neither_o be_v i_o there_o to_o see_v he_o fall_v any_o but_o the_o ship_n be_v go_v to_o france_n with_o what_o be_v left_a and_o as_o to_o the_o breda_n be_v blow_v up_o with_o about_o four_o hundred_o people_n on_o sunday_n morning_n i_o do_v suppose_v the_o gunner_n of_o she_o or_o some_o of_o their_o company_n be_v a_o go_v to_o church_n or_o something_o otherwise_o in_o the_o powder-room_n but_o his_o majesty_n lose_v a_o brave_a ship_n a_o brave_a commander_n and_o as_o brave_a man_n as_o most_o in_o the_o fleet_n and_o i_o do_v wonder_n if_o the_o gunner_n of_o the_o elizabeth_n have_v carry_v away_o his_o seventy_o barrel_n of_o powder_n how_o he_o will_v have_v pass_v his_o account_n but_o i_o remember_v a_o story_n of_o a_o old_a gunner_n dead_a several_a year_n past_a that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v as_o just_a as_o job_n there_o must_v be_v money_n and_o if_o he_o be_v as_o very_a thief_n as_o any_o in_o newgate_n money_n money_n money_n i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o suppose_v if_o i_o be_v store-keeper_n at_o some_o place_n like_v to_o our_o garrison_n of_o portsmouth_n i_o can_v agree_v with_o the_o gunner_n to_o go_v half_a snip_n and_o we_o will_v sell_v our_o powder_n to_o a_o merchantman_n and_o send_v it_o away_o at_o noonday_n and_o fortune_n often_o favour_v the_o bold_a so_o that_o it_o may_v succeed_v and_o if_o take_v it_o be_v so_o many_o barrel_n order_v for_o such_o a_o ship_n and_o if_o the_o gunner_n of_o the_o man_n of_o war_n own_v it_o and_o it_o go_v clear_v the_o merchantman_n have_v it_o and_o so_o the_o gunner_n and_o i_o will_v drink_v friend_n and_o hardly_o any_o one_o ever_o think_v of_o it_o or_o mind_v we_o but_o in_o my_o opinion_n if_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o both_o the_o thief_n and_o the_o receiver_n shall_v be_v also_o serve_v alike_o and_o also_o those_o hoy-man_n or_o other_o that_o help_v to_o convey_v it_o away_o and_o i_o suppose_v the_o pretty_a creature_n need_v not_o be_v hang_v for_o now_o people_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o testify_v against_o such_o to_o take_v away_o their_o life_n perhaps_o but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o if_o any_o be_v find_v guilty_a of_o steal_v or_o convey_v away_o the_o king_n good_n that_o they_o that_o be_v guilty_a shall_v have_v the_o middle_a joint_n of_o their_o finger_n on_o each_o hand_n next_o the_o little_a one_o cut_v off_o to_o mark_v they_o and_o then_o let_v they_o be_v sell_v to_o virginia_n or_o some_o other_o plantation_n for_o perpetual_a slave_n and_o to_o take_v security_n of_o the_o merchant_n here_o that_o they_o shall_v transport_v they_o and_o the_o buyer_n beyond_o sea_n to_o give_v security_n to_o the_o governor_n there_o to_o keep_v they_o during_o their_o life_n and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o do_v make_v their_o escape_n then_o on_o their_o first_o land_v in_o england_n again_o to_o be_v hang_v and_o that_o master_n of_o a_o ship_n that_o bring_v they_o again_o to_o have_v his_o finger_n on_o each_o hand_n cut_v off_o and_o he_o to_o be_v sell_v in_o their_o room_n and_o if_o the_o many_o sort_n of_o thief_n in_o england_n be_v all_o serve_v so_o it_o may_v peradventure_o clear_a england_n of_o thief_n in_o five_o or_o six_o year_n time_n since_o the_o motto_n of_o they_o be_v a_o short_a life_n and_o a_o sweet_a and_o they_o have_v get_v a_o trick_n to_o cast_v off_o their_o shoe_n some_o of_o they_o when_o they_o be_v hang_v because_o they_o will_v not_o die_v in_o their_o shoe_n and_o therefore_o their_o short_a life_n and_o sweet_a shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o long_a life_n and_o bitter_n and_o then_o they_o will_v rather_o work_v here_o at_o first_o than_o be_v always_o slave_n and_o this_o medicine_n will_v it_o may_v be_v serve_v clipper_n and_o
