We call the Caining, or comming in of a Roape by our haleing of it in with our hands, or heaveing it in at the Capstaine, or otherwise, Purchasing; as the Capstaine doth purchase apace, that is, drawes in the Cabell apace: Or, the Tackles doe purchase, and the contrary; when we cannot get in any thing, or hale it away, we say, we cannot purchase, with the Roape, Tackle, or the like. Note that the more parts that any Tackle, Halliard, or the like doe goe in, the more easily a man may purchase upon them (as it is easier to purchase with a Block which hath three sheevers then a Block which hath but two:) but then this is longer a doing.
