Whereas we have ordered one of our men of war to convoy what Scots ships are now here into the road of Leith, and having great occasion at this time for seamen, we have given directions to the captain of our said man of war to lie some days in Leith road, and to receive what seamen will voluntarily enter themselves to serve in our royal navy, and for their encouragement we have ordered 40s Sterling to be paid to each seaman at his entry, and from that time they shall have the same pay and entertainment that our English seamen do receive. Therefor it is our will and pleasure and we recommend to your care to fall upon such methods as you judge proper for giving notice to all seamen, that such as are willing to enter into our service onboard our fleet, may know where to go and list themselves, and you are to give all other encouragement and assistance to our said captain for raising seamen that may be consistent with the laws of that our ancient kingdom, giving always special orders for preventing abuses and disorders in making these levies.

We doubt not of your care of what we recommend to you. And so we bid yow heartily farewell. Given at our court at Kensington 27 February 1705/6, and of our reign the fourth year.
