About this Item

[2]p, with docket title to reverse, n.d. but probably 1705. Chipped with loss to head, catching a few letters with loss, but no real loss of sense, slightly chipped to sides and foot, lightly browned with several small tears. ESTC T46435, suggesting that it is possibly by John Sudbury and Robert Griffith, with Hanson providing the date. Notes that sailors, sometimes after many years to sea, are often not paid what they are owed, leading them to sell their wages "at very great loss", which makes them incapable of paying his creditors, leading to tradesmen not being paid, and seamen deserting or entering into 'foreign service'.
