And we do further declare , That a speedy course shall be taken for the adjusting and payment of the money due to the Sea-men for their shares of Prizes , and that all due encouragement ( which shall hereafter be particularly expressed ) shall be given to such as shall voluntarily engage themselves in this present Service .
