in this port of London, that the Chyrurgeons hired to serve in any shipps or
vessels doe not enter into pay until the shipps coming to Gravesend outwards
bound upon any voyage, and that at the retourne of shipps or vessels from their
voyages to Gravesend, the Chyrurgeons are accompted dischargeable and
dischardged there from any further service or attendance on board such shipps,
and from that time are out of pay and dismissed from any mor or further

as touching the custome of the Chyrurgeons not being bound to applie any

And saith that the said Chirurgeons lawfully may and usually doe leave
the shipps after and upon their retourne to Gravesend, by the foresaid custome,
and are not bound to continue any longer aboard, being from that time out
of pay, but the rest of the company of any ship or shipps are
obliged to continue aboard until the shipps coming to an anchor and
her being moored, if the master soe require them, and until the said master
dismisse them, and until that time they are in pay, which hee alsoe
