State of the Fleet, Address upon.
The Earl of Rochester reported from the Lords Committees appointed to consider of the State of the Fleet,
the Address drawn by them, to be presented to His Majesty.

"We, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, having, since our late Address to
Your Majesty for the speedy sitting out a Fleet, taken
into our further Consideration all Means that may
conduce to the more effectual Dispatch of that great
Work, do find, that the Want of sufficient Numbers
of Seamen is like to be the greatest Impediment to
the speedy setting out the Ships designed for the present Service; and therefore we humbly propose to
Your Majesty;
"That some Order be published, whereby it may be
declared, That all Seamen that shall enter themselves
on board any of the Ships now to be set forth, who
are out on Recalls, shall be assured to be paid their
Recalls before the failing of the Fleet.
"That it be likewise declared, That such able Seamen as are not out on Recalls, and shall voluntarily
come in and enter themselves on board any of the
Third or Fourth Rate Ships now to be set forth,
within Eight and Twenty Days, shall have a Month's
Pay Gratis, as was practised in the Year One Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-two, and was found to
have good Effect in that Time.
"That Your Majesty would be pleased to order a
Flag Officer down to the several Places where the
Ships are sitting out; who may have particular Direction to take Care of the speedy manning of the said
Ships, and to have Inspection how all Captains and
inferior Officers employ their utmost Diligence in
manning their respective Ships; and to inform Your
Majesty, and the Commissioners for executing the
Office of Lord High Admiral of England, what Progress is made therein: And that Your Majesty would
further direct such other Methods as Your Majesty in
Your great Wisdom shall think proper, in this Conjuncture, for the better and more effectual Dispatch
of the manning of the Fleet."
ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled, That the Lords with White
Staves do attend His Majesty with the Address of this
House.
