Secondly, there are some other Pirates, that 1hear of it, but they believe it not, they think it is but a trap to get them in, they cannot believe that those great rebellions that they have committed can be forgiven. There is a third sort that believe 2it, that make no question but they shall be pardoned if they come, but they think it a better course to live by piracy still, rather than to come in under the law to live in subjection, they think they shall live a poorer life and be more restrained, they are not willing to change their condition. Now for the first of these, we have nothing to do with 3them, for we speak to none but those that have heard of the Proclamation, that know well enough there is such an offer made, therefore our business is with the two second.
