|Transcription=Propositions for bettering the state and
lessening the charge of the shipps that now [Xemxemie]

Havine laid open the present decayes and charges of the
Navie, and the Causes thereof, [XXX] some in the same order to
offer our propositions for the better setting for 70 of the shipps
as they now are and secondly of a [XXXestable] that, as they
may be hereafter

ffor the Shipps as now they are we have considered
1 Their Number
2 Their State
3 Their Charge

The Number

ffor the number we think fitt that these 23. shipps of warre 2.
[Xoyes] one lighter which we estemee servicable should be
Confirmed in Charge
And forther 12 unserviceable. That the ''Elizabeth'', ''Jonas'', ''[?Crimmson]''
(which are in the dock at Woolwich cann or be [Xemoned]) be
sould to his Majesties beste profitt to any that will give moste, and
breake them up at their owne Charge

That the ''Guardland'', ''Maricisose???'' (being at Chatham) be haled on
ground there they may beste be imployed to wharfe the new Docke.

That the Timber remaining for the ''[XXemontana Quittance]'' be
put to other uses so as the building of those unserviceable shipps
may [sucease]

That the distance be brought on ground or abord some other Shipp
for as the [moring] guarding of that Trifle may be noe more [thaXye]

That the '' '' in Friland?? be sould or disposed soe as the
[sXXiced] on that coste may notte increase by her [???]

That the ''[?Boneaventure], ''Advantage'', ''Charles'', the ketch be put
oute of Charge which are not in beinge

That the 4 gallies be laid up in a Creeke, which wee have some found nere
the shipp where without Charge or Danger they may be kepte till
they be used or disposed of

The State of the Shipps

ffor the state of the ships for Carpentry we propound that there
[] and decayed as they are [?privately] set downe in the
Books of survey may yearly be repaied soe as in five yeares

The waighte in his Majesty's storehouse at Debtford have
continued many yeares to lighte aboute a [?pounde]in a
hundreth as the clerkes do counfelle, the losse whereof
in 2761 tonne - 4 pounds - 6 hundreths of cordage [?Received] from the contractors
is £828 - 6 shillings - 6 pence and what more hath been loste in the
muscovia cordage and all other prepositions taken in
by these waights we are not able to estimate/.

4 Cause/

As the waighte have lesse, soe the Books have continued
more waighte then they oughte, for there wee found a
cable of 16 fuche 4/4 [?entered] 2 hundreth waighte heavier then it
bare upon the scale, and when it was excused by two
yeares drying, wee compared for further triall 46 of
these with 46 of like length and size of the best Muscovia
provision as both waighed at their size takeing in, and
these waighed more by 7 tonne - 2 pounds - 2 hundreths - 26 which in money
riseth to 249 - 15 - 6; Againe comparinge a cable of 15
fuche of this more with an other from Muscovia of alated
making the English that was found heavier 4 1/2 and comparing
this making with itself a cable of VI suche .96 [?fathom]
weighed but 50 - 3 - 21. and another of VI suche, and
but 93 [?ffathom] weighed 56 - 0 - 11 which is a difference [?of]
above seaven pounds in the price

But Before this probabillitie of abuse in the cordage
we finde by confession that 1000 waighte of [?iron/from]
was added to one Bill or other worke then the Kinge's
wee heare of much more in this finde ./.

Manye necessary works have beene neglected which
might have the Shipps from decaye and
workmen suffered to clamour and dishonour he
