A number of very curious circumstances are developed by some of theentries made in the preceding account. It appears to have been customary thatsuch cities or counties, as either from influence, or any other circumstance,that could cause particular attachment, were connected with the person appointedto command a ship of war, should procure a certain number of men to serve underhis command. Gloucester, for instance, furnished to the Trinity Sovereign,commanded by the Lord de Ferrars, twenty-five men ; and to the Gabriel, ofwhich Sir William Trevellian was captain, an equal number. The captainsCourtenay and Cornwall, who were joint commanders of the Maria de Loretto,having many powerful friends in the county of Devon, one hundred men wereraised by the shire to serve under them, and thirty by the city of Exeter : norwas this all; Sir Amias Pawlet, a gentleman of high consequence in thatquarter, raised twenty-five men on the same account, a custom which very soonafterwards appears to have become much more extended.
