September's Observations.

WHat! more Knaves yet? beware M^r Treasurer; the souldier now begins to whet his sword, and having found out your Foxes holes, resolves to leave you not worth a groat. Ah brave souldier! act fairly, down with Oppres∣sion, and according to thy promise restore us to freedom: Oh that I could but see that time when Taxes might be taken off, and the Poor might not complain for want of bread! Be of good comfort, fellow-Commoner, it will come, and that quickly too. In the mean time, our Naval Affairs are not pleasing; the sea∣man wants money (and so do I) he threatens a return with the Navy, but at the last returneth again to his duty. The first 3 days fair and seasonable. From the 6 to the 14 cold rain and hail. New moon the 11^th day. From the 18 to the end of the month much rain, and variety of winds. Full moon the 26 day.

Rare Missives n••w arriv••: Our hearts grow strong, Wee'll do no right, nor yet will suffer wrong: Our ships are shatter'd, and their Tackling tore, The Sea men grumble, and desire the shore, But what of that? Large prize, and London pay, And two Nights Wiveing, make them h••yst away.
