set_v up_o packet-boat_n as_o a_o remedy_n against_o the_o effect_n of_o proclamation_n which_o i_o may_v say_v will_v have_v be_v undutiful_a in_o they_o to_o have_v dread_v but_o yet_o to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n even_o in_o point_n of_o bare_a correspondence_n i_o do_v assure_v you_o that_o several_a of_o the_o company_n be_v packet_n direct_v to_o the_o council_n of_o their_o colony_n under_o cover_n to_o particular_a friend_n in_o the_o english_a plantation_n of_o america_n be_v to_o this_o hour_n lie_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o friend_n who_o write_v back_o hither_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o strictness_n and_o severity_n of_o those_o proclamation_n they_o dare_v not_o venture_v to_o forward_o the_o say_a packet_n to_o the_o colony_n because_o if_o they_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v discover_v in_o hold_v any_o such_o correspondence_n as_o ten_o to_o one_o but_o they_o will_v the_o least_o that_o they_o can_v expect_v be_v confinement_n and_o to_o be_v afterward_o sin_v at_o the_o next_o grand_a session_n by_o the_o discretion_n of_o a_o jury_n and_o that_o the_o discretion_n of_o that_o jury_n will_v be_v direct_v by_o the_o degree_n of_o love_n they_o bear_v our_o country_n and_o the_o wish_n they_o have_v to_o the_o prosperity_n of_o a_o undertake_n of_o this_o nature_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o proclamation_n have_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o colony_n get_v intelligence_n from_o hence_o and_o that_o if_o no_o such_o proclamation_n have_v be_v issue_v forth_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o indispensible_a necessity_n for_o packet-boat_n to_o have_v be_v send_v direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n at_o least_o before_o the_o director_n have_v a_o account_n of_o their_o settlement_n as_o some_o mighty_a pretender_n will_v tell_v we_o now_o there_o be_v and_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o the_o director_n do_v positive_o intend_v to_o have_v dispatch_v a_o vessel_n with_o advice_n and_o provision_n to_o the_o colony_n very_o soon_o after_o their_o departure_n from_o leith_n and_o for_o that_o end_n use_v all_o other_o endeavour_n by_o petition_n and_o otherwise_o to_o have_v procure_v one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o small_a friggot_n which_o be_v still_o lie_v useless_a in_o bruntisland-harbour_n as_o be_v the_o fit_a they_o can_v think_v of_o for_o that_o purpose_n and_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v please_v to_o order_v the_o build_n of_o those_o friggot_n for_o the_o security_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o general_n peace_n take_v away_o all_o manner_n of_o occasion_n for_o they_o in_o the_o narrow_a sea_n it_o be_v think_v they_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o so_o well_o employ_v as_o in_o carry_v on_o and_o support_v the_o design_n and_o interest_n of_o this_o company_n especial_o since_o the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n by_o their_o address_n former_o recite_v be_v please_v to_o express_v a_o singular_a concern_v for_o its_o prosperity_n and_o welfare_n and_o if_o the_o director_n say_v petition_n have_v be_v second_v as_o well_o as_o be_v expect_v and_o that_o they_o have_v get_v the_o use_n of_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o say_a friggot_n there_o have_v be_v in_o all_o probability_n no_o such_o occasion_n of_o clamour_n against_o they_o as_o now_o there_o be_v for_o not_o have_v send_v any_o ship_n direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n soon_o enough_o with_o provision_n and_o intelligence_n but_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v likewise_o evident_a by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o narrate_v that_o upon_o the_o director_n lose_v hope_n of_o procure_v any_o of_o the_o say_a friggot_n they_o come_v to_o a_o positive_a resolution_n of_o dispatch_v a_o small_a vessel_n direct_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o colony_n with_o advice_n and_o provision_n in_o the_o month_n of_o january_n at_o further_a though_o as_o cross_v fate_n will_v have_v it_o she_o happen_v to_o be_v such_o a_o ship_n as_o can_v not_o well_o be_v fit_v out_o for_o such_o a_o voyage_n in_o some_o month_n time_n thereafter_o upon_o discovery_n whereof_o they_o fit_v another_o small_a vessel_n which_o sail_v from_o clyde_n in_o the_o month_n of_o february_n but_o be_v unlucky_o shipwreck_a by_o a_o violent_a storm_n on_o the_o west-coast_n of_o scotland_n as_o i_o have_v former_o narrate_v yet_o still_o there_o be_v some_o who_o right_a or_o wrong_n will_v have_v the_o management_n bear_v the_o sole_a blame_v of_o all_o the_o misfortune_n that_o have_v happen_v to_o the_o company_n and_o colony_n and_o stick_v not_o to_o say_v too_o that_o the_o colony_n come_n away_o in_o the_o manner_n they_o do_v be_v not_o occasion_v so_o much_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n as_o by_o the_o treachery_n and_o villainy_n of_o some_o of_o their_o own_o number_n well_o let_v we_o for_o once_o suppose_v there_o be_v treachery_n in_o the_o case_n do_v that_o lessen_v the_o effect_n of_o those_o proclamation_n no_o certain_o but_o rather_o aggravate_v for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o treachery_n in_o the_o case_n these_o proclamation_n give_v the_o traitor_n a_o better_a handle_n to_o work_v by_o than_o any_o other_o pretence_n they_o can_v have_v make_v use_n of_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v further_o whether_o we_o can_v suppose_v there_o can_v be_v treachery_n without_o suppose_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o some_o person_n or_o other_o must_v have_v bribe_v the_o traitor_n and_o if_o so_o it_o seem_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o none_o will_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o do_v that_o as_o some_o of_o those_o who_o be_v concern_v in_o issue_v forth_o those_o proclamation_n so_o that_o still_o we_o be_v cleave_v to_o piece_n with_o a_o wedge_n of_o the_o same_o timber_n nay_o further_o what_o if_o notwithstanding_o of_o those_o proclamation_n the_o colony_n have_v never_o bodge_v but_o remain_v still_o in_o their_o settlement_n in_o a_o flourish_a condition_n and_o that_o they_o have_v be_v in_o such_o circumstance_n that_o the_o proclamation_n can_v have_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n shall_v any_o man_n therefore_o mantain_n that_o the_o issue_v forth_o of_o those_o proclamation_n be_v a_o good_a and_o harmless_a thing_n sure_o no_o man_n have_v face_n enough_o to_o say_v so_o for_o their_o have_v or_o not_o have_v the_o design_v effect_n can_v not_o at_o all_o alter_v the_o nature_n or_o intention_n of_o they_o but_o real_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o can_v be_v possible_a for_o a_o colony_n consist_v of_o the_o king_n of_o britain_n subject_n to_o have_v be_v in_o any_o such_o good_a circumstance_n but_o that_o those_o proclamation_n must_v necessary_o have_v do_v they_o a_o vast_a prejudice_n if_o not_o ruin_v they_o for_o suppose_v that_o in_o the_o month_n of_o may_n last_o when_o they_o get_v the_o first_o copy_n of_o the_o jamaica-proclamation_n they_o have_v be_v all_o in_o perfect_a health_n and_o vigour_n and_o have_v have_v plenty_n of_o fresh_a provision_n strong_a liquor_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_n whatsoever_o lie_v by_o they_o in_o store_n what_o then_o must_v they_o not_o have_v see_v at_o first_o view_n and_o consider_v that_o by_o the_o say_a proclamation_n they_o be_v declare_v to_o have_v actual_o break_v the_o peace_n enter_v into_o with_o his_o majesty_n ally_n by_o settle_v at_o darien_n and_o that_o therefore_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o have_v be_v treat_v as_o pirate_n must_v they_o not_o have_v consider_v that_o though_o the_o say_a proclamation_n be_v emit_v against_o they_o in_o the_o king_n of_o england_n name_n only_o that_o yet_o the_o same_o person_n be_v king_n of_o scotland_n also_o and_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o they_o can_v have_v but_o small_a hope_n of_o be_v vigorous_o protect_v by_o the_o king_n of_o scotland_n against_o the_o king_n of_o england_n proclamation_n must_v they_o not_o have_v consider_v that_o their_o then_o declare_a enemy_n the_o spaniard_n will_v undoubted_o be_v thereby_o encourage_v to_o pursue_v their_o end_n against_o they_o with_o great_a assurance_n and_o much_o more_o vigour_n than_o perhaps_o otherways_o they_o dare_v have_v do_v must_v they_o not_o have_v consider_v that_o upon_o every_o the_o least_o discontent_n or_o capricious_a humour_n of_o any_o of_o their_o own_o people_n this_o proclamation_n will_v be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o a_o handle_n to_o be_v very_o troublesome_a and_o uneasy_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o colony_n as_o indeed_o it_o have_v be_v to_o their_o sad_a experience_n must_v they_o not_o think_v that_o since_o the_o say_a proclamation_n be_v publish_v in_o his_o majesty_n name_n that_o undoubted_o it_o must_v needs_o have_v be_v legal_o found_v upon_o some_o positive_a law_n though_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o and_o
