how_o dreaful_a will_v that_o be_v and_o indeed_o i_o think_v the_o seman_n family_n be_v many_o time_n as_o dreadful_a object_n of_o misery_n as_o most_o in_o england_n i_o be_v a_o go_v to_o write_v some_o particular_n of_o their_o misery_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o lie_v out_o of_o their_o honest_a just_a pay_n 4_o 5_o or_o 6_o year_n but_o i_o will_v not_o write_v a_o volume_n as_o big_a as_o the_o book_n of_o martyr_n concern_v the_o dreadfullness_n of_o their_o ruin_n but_o instead_o of_o that_o i_o remember_v the_o church_n of_o england_n catechism_n my_o good_a old_a gracious_a mother_n teach_v i_o near_o fifty_o year_n past_a to_o do_v to_o all_o as_o i_o will_v they_o shall_v do_v unto_o i_o and_o thus_o every_o one_o in_o england_n that_o be_v catechize_v according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v bind_v to_o own_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o thirteen_o place_n if_o any_o person_n in_o england_n will_v willing_o be_v keep_v out_o of_o their_o right_n and_o not_o have_v one_o penny_n of_o money_n in_o 4_o 5_o 6_o or_o 7_o year_n to_o keep_v their_o family_n from_o perish_v then_o with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n they_o may_v be_v content_a that_o the_o seman_n family_n shall_v be_v so_o serve_v but_o if_o the_o gentry_n will_v not_o be_v keep_v out_o of_o their_o right_n several_a year_n neither_o the_o clergy_n out_o of_o their_o tithe_n several_a year_n and_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o starve_v their_o family_n i_o wonder_v how_o they_o can_v pretend_v to_o teach_v their_o child_n this_o doctrine_n and_o will_v not_o keep_v it_o themselves_o fourteen_o place_n though_o it_o may_v be_v i_o shall_v be_v complain_v of_o for_o my_o speak_v so_o much_o for_o the_o ruin_a seman_n family_n be_v relieve_v yet_o i_o will_v bring_v this_o as_o another_o argument_n that_o all_o the_o lord_n spiritual_n and_o temporal_a and_o commons_o of_o engand_fw-mi be_v bind_v by_o the_o church_n order_n in_o prayer_n in_o the_o litany_n to_o beg_v of_o god_n on_o sunday_n wednesday_n and_o friday_n that_o god_n will_v please_v to_o succour_n and_o help_v and_o comfort_v all_o that_o be_v in_o danger_n necessity_n and_o tribulation_n and_o that_o god_n will_v defend_v and_o provide_v for_o the_o fatherless_a child_n and_o widow_n and_o all_o that_o be_v desolate_a and_o oppress_v and_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o uncharitable_a as_o to_o think_v that_o so_o honourable_a person_n will_v go_v to_o mock_v god_n with_o pray_v for_o that_o they_o care_v not_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o my_o duty_n to_o pray_v for_o any_o other_o to_o relieve_v and_o comfort_n and_o provide_v for_o the_o ruin_a seaman_n their_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n but_o only_o this_o government_n that_o they_o have_v serve_v for_o i_o do_v declare_v before_o god_n and_o the_o world_n that_o if_o it_o be_v pretend_v by_o other_o to_o relieve_v those_o ruin_a creature_n they_o will_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o destroy_v thousand_o at_o land_n before_o they_o relieve_v those_o at_o sea_n but_o indeed_o i_o will_v be_v plainhearted_a to_o say_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a god_n before_o i_o who_o i_o write_v every_o word_n and_o leave_v it_o as_o a_o fifteen_o agument_n that_o see_v the_o seaman_n of_o england_n have_v serve_v their_o own_o native_a country_n and_o lose_v 60_o thousand_o life_n in_o that_o faithful_a service_n and_o defence_n of_o their_o country_n if_o this_o government_n at_o last_o by_o the_o reason_n of_o so_o many_o villain_n cheat_v cozen_a and_o undermine_v of_o they_o have_v be_v overthrow_v yet_o it_o have_v be_v a_o dreadful_a sin_n and_o shame_n to_o the_o nation_n itself_o to_o have_v suffer_v the_o loyal_a seaman_n to_o perish_v and_o their_o family_n to_o be_v ruin_v for_o want_n of_o their_o just_a and_o honest_a payment_n sixteenth_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o the_o reverend_a bishop_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n whether_o if_o these_o nation_n starve_v and_o ruin_v the_o beggared_a miserable_a seaman_n and_o their_o family_n for_o want_n of_o their_o just_a payment_n it_o be_v not_o a_o more_o cry_a sin_n than_o one_o of_o sodom_n sin_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 16_o chap._n of_o ezekiel_n 49th_o and_o 50th_o verse_n where_o god_n say_v to_o his_o profess_v church_n and_o people_n by_o his_o prophet_n these_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o thy_o sister_n sodom_n pride_n idleness_n fullness_n of_o bread_n and_o that_o she_o do_v not_o strengthen_v hand_n of_o th●_n poor_a and_o needy_a now_o if_o these_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o sodom_n that_o she_o do_v not_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a how_o much_o great_a sin_n must_v it_o be_v to_o starve_v and_o beggar_n and_o ruin_v the_o poor_a an●_n needy_a by_o keep_v they_o out_o of_o their_o just_a wage_n and_o due_n many_o sum_n of_o which_o be_v earn_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n bu●_n it_o be_v

if_o sodom_n do_v not_o she●●_n mercy_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a whether_o if_o poor_a ruin_a se●●mens_n family_n be_v leave_v to_o starve_v and_o perish_v several_a year_n with_o out_o their_o honest_a pay_n the_o sin_n of_o eugland_n will_v not_o as_o far_o exceed_v sodom_n as_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n exceed_v unmercifulness_n and_o therefore_o justice_n and_o mercy_n will_v have_v that_o the_o seaman_n of_o england_n do_v require_v a_o speedy_a and_o honest_a payment_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v that_o sodom_n be_v guilty_a of_o beastly_a lust_n beside_o which_o be_v seldom_o see_v in_o england_n but_o to_o that_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v it_o be_v practise_v too_o much_o in_o england_n witness_v one_o sea_n captain_n which_o stand_v in_o the_o pillory_n thrice_o this_o week_n for_o attempt_v it_o so_o gross_o but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o of_o that_o as_o be_v in_o sodom_n it_o may_v be_v fear_v that_o there_o be_v ten_o time_n more_o lewdness_n with_o woman_n in_o london_n itself_o than_o be_v in_o sodom_n and_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v there_o be_v as_o many_o destroy_v in_o london_n by_o fire_n from_o

will_v read_v the_o yearly_o bill_n of_o mortality_n may_v find_v that_o in_o some_o year_n past_a there_o be_v near_o a_o hundred_o person_n in_o a_o year_n die_v of_o the_o french-pox_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o a_o physician_n have_v print_v that_o there_o be_v near_o ten_o time_n as_o many_o dye_n of_o it_o that_o be_v not_o set_v down_o to_o die_v of_o that_o disease_n but_o of_o consumption_n or_o other_o disease_n than_o it_o may_v be_v suppose_v there_o be_v near_o a_o thousand_o people_n the_o year_n die_v within_o the_o bill_n of_o mortality_n that_o be_v consume_v by_o fire_n which_o show_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v not_o at_o a_o end_n in_o the_o world_n and_o if_o one_o shall_v imagine_v how_o many_o there_o be_v that_o escape_n and_o get_v cure_a if_o they_o can_v be_v number_v up_o it_o will_v be_v a_o prodigious_a number_n of_o filthiness_n that_o be_v commit_v in_o london_n and_o england_n and_o we_o may_v dread_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n against_o these_o nation_n for_o this_o or_o for_o other_o sin_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v represent_v this_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o seman_n payment_n be_v because_o it_o may_v be_v some_o of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o church_n may_v consider_v of_o the_o cry_v voice_n of_o this_o sin_n before_o god_n and_o of_o the_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o of_o family_n

they_o have_v be_v ripe_a and_o the_o youth_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o age_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o ruin_n and_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o will_v be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o man_n to_o have_v law_n make_v to_o transport_v all_o those_o lewd_a woman_n away_o to_o the_o plantation_n for_o slave_n all_o their_o day_n and_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o first_o

large_a money_n for_o their_o brandy_n and_o wine_n it_o will_v be_v the_o way_n to_o beggar_n we_o in_o a_o very_a few_o year_n therefore_o if_o we_o must_v have_v so_o much_o brandy_n in_o england_n i_o will_v humble_o propose_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o law_n make_v to_o have_v our_o hedge_n row_v in_o every_o field_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n oblige_v in_o seven_o or_o eight_o year_n

as_o i_o say_v plant_v in_o the_o hedg-row_n need_v not_o take_v up_o a_o acre_n of_o land_n for_o 40_o million_o of_o tree_n and_o if_o the_o tree_n come_v to_o bear_v will_v preserve_v our_o corn_n from_o be_v burn_v up_o i_o mean_v into_o brandy_n and_o it_o be_v our_o english_a cider_n will_v make_v almost_o as_o good_a brandy_n as_o the_o french_a and_o if_o this_o plantation_n be_v but_o establish_v it_o will_v pay_v its_o own_o charge_n of_o the_o plant_v ten_o time_n over_o quick_o and_o if_o it_o be_v once_o take_v up_o it_o will_v never_o be_v lay_v down_o again_o for_o apple_n be_v for_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o several_a poor_a family_n in_o the_o country_n and_o at_o last_o the_o very_a wood_n of_o the_o tree_n if_o forty_o year_n old_a will_v be_v worth_a for_o fire_v when_o they_o have_v do_v bear_v fruit_n five_o time_n the_o charge_n of_o plant_v and_o as_o i_o say_v we_o need_v not_o lose_v a_o acre_n of_o land_n and_o if_o any_o will_v propose_v the_o plant_v of_o oak_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n one_o in_o every_o 30_o foot_n of_o hedge-row_n acorn_n be_v cheap_a enough_o and_o if_o every_o twenty_o foot_n have_v a_o appletree_n and_o every_o twenty_o
