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

my_o part_n i_o say_v according_a to_o the_o money_n raise_v there_o can_v never_o have_v be_v better_a pay_n for_o the_o seaman_n in_o the_o world_n and_o indeed_o i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o seaman_n of_o england_n say_v just_o that_o god_n and_o the_o king_n send_v good_a meat_n but_o the_o devil_n send_v they_o cook_n that_o spoil_v it_o half_o in_o dress_v but_o in_o short_a i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o general_n can_v answer_v the_o seamen_n be_v leave_v to_o ruin_n for_o first_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v against_o grace_n against_o the_o gracious_a law_n of_o christ_n not_o to_o do_v to_o they_o as_o we_o will_v other_o shall_v do_v to_o we_o which_o be_v teach_v the_o child_n in_o their_o catechism_n 2._o it_o be_v against_o the_o gracious_a providence_n of_o god_n to_o these_o nation_n who_o do_v by_o a_o miracle_n send_v over_o our_o gracious_a king_n william_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o secure_v our_o religion_n liberty_n and_o property_n and_o if_o the_o nation_n who_o enjoy_v all_o these_o in_o peace_n at_o home_n shall_v let_v the_o seaman_n be_v ruin_v and_o lose_v all_o together_o and_o their_o life_n into_o the_o bargain_n i_o be_o afraid_a christ_n will_v tell_v we_o another_o word_n in_o our_o ear_n that_o the_o scripture_n shall_v not_o fail_v and_o the_o same_o measure_n man_n mete_v shall_v be_v mete_v to_o they_o again_o and_o so_o much_o to_o their_o be_v manage_v contrary_a to_o grace_n 2._o contrary_n to_o reason_n for_o reason_n tell_v we_o other_o age_n encourage_v their_o seaman_n and_o pay_v they_o on_o shore_n and_o other_o nation_n do_v so_o now_o and_o reason_n may_v tell_v those_o who_o have_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o pay_v on_o board_n that_o the_o seamen_n family_n and_o relation_n have_v not_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o little_a more_o than_o half_a their_o pay_n to_o their_o familie_n comfort_n 3._o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o common_a sense_n to_o think_v that_o if_o seaman_n do_v usual_o die_v great_a part_n where_o they_o be_v keep_v 2_o or_o 3_o year_n on_o board_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v any_o policy_n to_o keep_v they_o until_o they_o die_v rather_o than_o to_o pay_v they_o off_o to_o recruit_v their_o health_n and_o life_n and_o indeed_o who_o can_v be_v ever_o imagine_v to_o come_v free_o into_o that_o service_n where_o nothing_o but_o death_n can_v part_v again_o and_o then_o the_o widow_n deny_v their_o money_n ofttimes_o at_o last_o and_o beside_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o seamen_n life_n there_o be_v extraordinary_a charge_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o no_o benefit_n to_o the_o public_a but_o it_o may_v be_v the_o commander_n that_o have_v abuse_v the_o seaman_n all_o the_o war_n can_v not_o get_v more_o and_o will_v want_v a_o ship_n to_o get_v money_n in_o and_o so_o may_v want_v bread_n while_o our_o brave_a commander_n will_v have_v man_n enough_o but_o those_o who_o have_v drive_v away_o the_o seaman_n from_o their_o ship_n and_o can_v have_v a_o supply_n by_o turn_v over_o man_n from_o other_o ship_n these_o may_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n for_o man_n next_o year_n but_o my_o skill_n in_o sea_n affair_n be_v too_o small_a do_v it_o but_o attain_v to_o the_o height_n of_o my_o faithulness_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o love_n to_o my_o native_a country_n i_o will_v if_o the_o lord_n assist_v i_o with_o life_n and_o health_n write_v such_o a_o history_n of_o the_o knavery_n folly_n cowardice_n treachery_n ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o this_o war_n in_o the_o sea-affair_n the_o land_n will_v admire_v at_o and_o will_v write_v every_o line_n to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o judgement_n what_o will_v be_v find_v true_a not_o only_o in_o another_o age_n where_o they_o will_v speak_v plain_o how_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o parliament_n and_o nation_n and_o merchant_n be_v cheat_v and_o abuse_v but_o i_o will_v write_v what_o i_o believe_v will_v be_v find_v true_a in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n where_o all_o cloak_n will_v be_v throw_v off_o and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v know_v that_o god_n do_v not_o send_v mankind_n into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v like_o fish_n the_o great_a one_o to_o devour_v the_o little_a one_o and_o i_o bless_v the_o lord_n who_o keep_v i_o from_o be_v one_o of_o the_o devourer_n of_o the_o age_n for_o i_o have_v have_v a_o opportunity_n with_o ease_n to_o be_v a_o monster_n when_o i_o lay_v out_o a_o hundred_o pound_v a_o week_n or_o two_o in_o seamen_n pay_n if_o i_o have_v buy_v at_o half_a profit_n or_o twelve_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n profit_n as_o some_o monster_n do_v i_o shall_v have_v double_v my_o money_n so_o often_o to_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v swallow_v up_o 3_o or_o 4_o seamen_n pay_n for_o a_o breakfast_n beside_o what_o i_o have_v for_o dinner_n and_o supper_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v say_v a_o word_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o seaman_n but_o shall_v have_v be_v force_v to_o have_v keep_v all_o counsel_n if_o the_o king_n have_v be_v cheat_v of_o a_o quarter_n of_o his_o money_n and_o the_o seaman_n of_o above_o half_a their_o pay_n but_o i_o presume_v it_o will_v be_v well_o to_o look_v back_o to_o the_o most_o happy_a state_n of_o our_o ship_n of_o war_n when_o we_o do_v most_o effectual_o beat_v our_o enemy_n and_o encourage_v our_o seaman_n and_o see_v if_o we_o do_v not_o find_v the_o neglect_n of_o their_o method_n have_v be_v the_o loss_n of_o half_a our_o seaman_n and_o many_o of_o our_o ship_n and_o second_o whether_o their_o way_n be_v not_o to_o go_v out_o in_o the_o summer_n and_o take_v all_o opportunity_n to_o sight_n and_o destroy_v their_o enemy_n and_o come_v in_o again_o with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o fleet_n and_o pay_v off_o the_o seaman_n and_o save_v their_o life_n and_o pay_n whether_o if_o this_o have_v be_v do_v the_o seaman_n will_v not_o have_v be_v encourage_v to_o come_v free_o into_o the_o king_n service_n as_o in_o other_o age_n as_o into_o a_o place_n where_o there_o be_v money_n and_o liberty_n and_o release_v and_o not_o perpetual_a bondage_n and_o if_o at_o last_o discharge_v by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n and_o have_v ticket_n sign_v by_o all_o the_o sign_v officer_n for_o the_o same_o to_o be_v deprive_v otherwise_o cheat_v public_o of_o their_o money_n to_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o pay_n and_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o discharge_v and_o whether_o any_o can_v now_o on_o the_o last_o term_n be_v safe_a to_o serve_v their_o king_n and_o country_n and_o it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o shameful_a thing_n when_o poor_a seaman_n have_v have_v their_o pay_n receive_v by_o false_a power_n they_o shall_v be_v deny_v the_o sight_n of_o the_o ship_n be_v book_n to_o see_v who_o receive_v it_o and_o therefore_o whether_o also_o this_o and_o the_o deny_v they_o otherwise_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o case_n be_v not_o a_o unjust_a and_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o let_v poor_a creature_n be_v cheat_v and_o ruin_v and_o hide_v it_o from_o they_o and_o what_o advantage_n it_o be_v to_o the_o government_n to_o let_v their_o poor_a seaman_n be_v so_o manage_v beside_o the_o king_n be_v be_v at_o extraordinary_a charge_n to_o pay_v they_o so_o far_o from_o london_n and_o the_o city_n deprive_v of_o the_o benefit_n of_o take_v their_o money_n as_o in_o other_o age_n wherein_o the_o city_n of_o london_n be_v not_o use_v to_o be_v so_o slight_v neither_o the_o seaman_n so_o ruin_v but_o i_o shall_v presume_v to_o say_v more_o in_o the_o body_n of_o my_o book_n for_o whoever_o please_v to_o read_v it_o at_o their_o leisure_n what_o my_o thought_n be_v and_o if_o the_o honourable_a house_n pardon_v i_o i_o shall_v not_o need_n much_o to_o trouble_v myself_o with_o the_o offence_n any_o other_o may_v take_v at_o it_o for_o i_o write_v for_o good_a and_o not_o to_o please_v but_o to_o hinder_v cheat_v the_o king_n and_o ruine_v the_o seaman_n and_o not_o to_o flatter_v those_o that_o will_v have_v it_o all_o smuggle_v up_o in_o silence_n which_o make_v i_o think_v of_o one_o late_o that_o because_o he_o can_v not_o find_v any_o thing_n false_a in_o my_o book_n have_v this_o

will_v say_v it_o be_v well_o for_o all_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n and_o yeoman_n horse_n in_o england_n that_o they_o have_v not_o purser_n to_o feed_v they_o that_o if_o their_o master_n allow_v they_o 10_o or_o 20_o quarter_n of_o oat_n for_o a_o stable_a the_o groom_n that_o shall_v feed_v they_o take_v a_o three_o of_o they_o and_o sell_v they_o and_o drink_v away_o the_o money_n between_o the_o driver_n and_o the_o groom_n and_o reckon_v so_o many_o peck_v a_o day_n and_o if_o the_o horse_n be_v abroad_o at_o work_n and_o come_v not_o in_o time_n charge_v their_o oat_n to_o the_o master_n account_n though_o they_o be_v sell_v away_o and_o they_o eat_v none_o in_o 2_o or_o 3_o day_n or_o a_o week_n and_o indeed_o bad_a driver_n and_o bad_a feeder_n be_v enough_o to_o spoil_v any_o team_n of_o horse_n in_o the_o world_n i_o have_v hear_v among_o countryman_n in_o kent_n some_o say_v there_o be_v half_a in_o half_a difference_n in_o drive_v cattle_n some_o will_v beat_v they_o and_o whip_v they_o and_o knock_v they_o over_o the_o pate_n and_o swear_v and_o damn_v like_o devil_n at_o the_o cattle_n and_o spoil_v they_o that_o they_o will_v hardly_o drive_v at_o all_o or_o it_o may_v be_v break_v their_o trace_n and_o run_v away_o and_o spoil_v the_o team_n at_o last_o whereas_o if_o another_o that_o know_v how_o to_o manage_v they_o with_o care_n and_o cheer_v they_o up_o clap_v they_o on_o the_o back_n with_o his_o hand_n and_o chirup_n lovingly_z to_o they_o they_o will_v draw_v like_o lion_n and_o in_o short_a i_o will_v appeal_v to_o all_o the_o yeoman_n in_o kent_n many_o of_o who_o be_v my_o relation_n if_o ever_o they_o know_v a_o team_n of_o horse_n get_v a_o groat_n clear_a gain_n for_o their_o master_n at_o 7_o year_n end_v who_o driver_n and_o ostler_n have_v ruin_v they_o half_o and_o near_o starve_v some_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o cheat_v their_o master_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n of_o more_o a_o great_a deal_n than_o their_o provender_n come_v to_o but_o i_o have_v need_n entreat_v pardon_n for_o my_o ramble_a but_o sometime_o there_o may_v be_v abundance_n of_o homely_a truth_n speak_v in_o jest_n and_o it_o may_v be_v too_o true_a to_o make_v a_o jest_n of_o but_o however_o now_o to_o the_o seaman_n of_o england_n they_o be_v real_o as_o true_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o king_n william_n to_o the_o last_o as_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n whatever_o and_o many_o of_o those_o who_o have_v stand_v in_o the_o king_n book_n as_o runaway_n be_v either_o dead_a in_o his_o service_n and_o that_o be_v the_o last_o they_o can_v do_v for_o he_o and_o other_o be_v still_o in_o his_o service_n to_o this_o hour_n though_o run_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n in_o other_o ship_n and_o in_o short_a it_o look_v very_o miserable_a also_o to_o be_v run_v out_o of_o their_o pay_n in_o other_o ship_n and_o can_v obtain_v leave_v once_o in_o 3_o or_o 4_o year_n to_o come_v to_o show_v cause_n or_o hear_v reason_n why_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o money_n i_o remember_v the_o heathen_a roman_n be_v say_v to_o take_v care_v not_o to_o condemn_v man_n without_o be_v hear_v speak_v for_o themselves_o and_o also_o see_v their_o accuser_n now_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o can_v be_v expect_v all_o that_o be_v make_v run_n shall_v see_v their_o accuser_n yet_o for_o the_o 2d_o they_o may_v have_v this_o privilege_n heathen_n allow_v of_o speak_v for_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v in_o the_o next_o place_n 40._o it_o be_v but_o reason_n and_o justice_n the_o seaman_n that_o be_v make_v run_v shall_v be_v protect_v 14_o day_n to_o petition_v to_o get_v off_o their_o r._n s._n but_o i_o be_o much_o afraid_a that_o it_o will_v be_v find_v cruelty_n at_o last_o to_o make_v man_n lose_v their_o pay_n that_o be_v dead_a ashore_o or_o sick_a in_o the_o hospital_n or_o not_o a_o month_n out_o of_o the_o king_n service_n these_o several_a year_n or_o discharge_v fair_a by_o ticket_n sign_v by_o all_o the_o officer_n and_o this_o i_o will_v ask_v whether_o the_o king_n service_n be_v a_o perpetual_a bondage_n that_o though_o a_o man_n be_v real_o sick_a and_o have_v a_o ticket_n give_v he_o to_o discharge_v he_o sick_a sign_v by_o all_o the_o officer_n to_o clear_v he_o and_o get_v his_o pay_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o oppression_n and_o cruelty_n in_o those_o that_o shall_v pay_v the_o money_n to_o deprive_v these_o man_n of_o their_o money_n because_o they_o that_o they_o leave_v their_o power_n with_o do_v not_o know_v present_o where_o the_o man_n be_v or_o whether_o live_v or_o dead_a or_o in_o what_o ship_n and_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v some_o year_n past_a since_o he_o be_v discharge_v and_o whether_o this_o way_n of_o management_n be_v like_a to_o encourage_v the_o seaman_n or_o any_o that_o trust_v they_o or_o the_o like_a in_o plain_a english_a such_o manager_n will_v fright_v away_o the_o seaman_n and_o fright_v other_o from_o trust_v they_o and_o now_o i_o have_v say_v this_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v think_v i_o write_v this_o for_o interest_n and_o be_o concern_v with_o such_o a_o case_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v no_o for_o i_o leave_v off_o buy_v 3_o year_n past_a and_o now_o write_v only_o to_o serve_v god_n and_o my_o king_n and_o country_n and_o if_o i_o be_v in_o another_o country_n and_o shall_v hear_v these_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v i_o may_v be_v ashamed_a of_o those_o kind_n of_o action_n and_o abundance_n more_o that_o i_o fear_v be_v against_o law_n and_o gospel_n and_o honesty_n and_o policy_n yea_o and_o i_o fear_v against_o good_a heathen_a morality_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v all_o arbitrary_a but_o now_o i_o hope_v our_o gracious_a king_n and_o loyal_a parliament_n have_v espouse_v the_o seamen_n cause_n they_o will_v as_o a_o honest_a gentleman_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o say_v endeavour_v to_o do_v they_o right_o and_o this_o short_a prayer_n i_o will_v put_v up_o for_o the_o seaman_n for_o time_n to_o come_v that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n will_v not_o leave_v they_o and_o their_o family_n to_o the_o tender_a mercy_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o the_o scripture_n that_o can_v lie_v say_v that_o the_o tender_a mercy_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v cruel_a and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o that_o have_v be_v a_o year_n a_o get_v a_o petition_n for_o justice_n answer_v may_v understand_v something_o of_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o when_o they_o come_v to_o beg_v nothing_o but_o their_o own_o that_o be_v due_a to_o they_o by_o plain_a justice_n bare_a and_o threadbare_a and_o stark_o naked_a justice_n and_o honesty_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o way_n to_o secure_v poor_a seamen_n pay_n for_o time_n to_o come_v it_o be_v pass_v my_o skill_n to_o warrant_v our_o seaport_n town_n will_v send_v their_o man_n child_n or_o servant_n into_o the_o service_n so_o free_o as_o before_o and_o it_o may_v be_v they_o that_o have_v be_v so_o serve_v as_o aforesaid_a if_o they_o be_v not_o dead_a yet_o will_v not_o come_v without_o good_a word_n and_o 41._o therefore_o if_o i_o may_v humble_o presume_v to_o give_v my_o thought_n i_o will_v suppose_v it_o requisite_a not_o only_o to_o take_v all_o care_n imaginable_a to_o secure_v the_o seamen_n life_n and_o pay_v and_o health_n but_o also_o to_o have_v the_o act_n for_o their_o encouragement_n read_v in_o every_o ship_n once_o a_o quarter_n and_o a_o abstract_n of_o the_o encouragement_n set_v up_o in_o the_o seaport_n town_n of_o england_n or_o at_o least_o the_o head_n of_o it_o put_v in_o the_o gazette_n that_o the_o nation_n may_v see_v for_o time_n to_o come_v that_o they_o do_v not_o pay_v their_o many_o and_o the_o seaman_n ruin_v but_o that_o the_o seaman_n shall_v be_v encourage_v and_o also_o honest_o pay_v 42._o that_o they_o may_v be_v pay_v in_o london_n that_o the_o city_n of_o london_n that_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o assist_v his_o majesty_n with_o money_n may_v have_v some_o again_o from_o the_o seaman_n and_o not_o let_v those_o who_o manage_v the_o seaman_n put_v the_o king_n to_o extraordinary_a charge_n to_o pay_v the_o seaman_n several_a mile_n off_o to_o the_o deprive_v the_o city_n of_o their_o trade_n and_o the_o spoil_n of_o near_a half_a the_o seman_n pay_n beside_o for_o in_o short_a in_o london_n the_o seaman_n can_v buy_v all_o thing_n at_o best_a hand_n can_v send_v home_o their_o money_n to_o their_o family_n to_o any_o part_n of_o england_n or_o scotland_n and_o if_o they_o but_o spend_v their_o money_n here_o or_o send_v it_o home_o to_o
