to_o the_o ploughman_n do_v not_o that_o ancient_a honest_a venerable_a and_o profitable_a trade_n of_o husbandry_n maintain_v all_o these_o yea_o and_o all_o these_o live_v as_o happy_o plentiful_o and_o rich_o of_o this_o trade_n of_o tillage_n in_o these_o county_n before_o so_o much_o enclosure_n as_o any_o in_o other_o county_n whatsoever_o or_o of_o what_o other_o trade_n soever_o they_o be_v of_o what_o must_v become_v of_o these_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o if_o such_o enclosure_n be_v not_o speedy_o stop_v as_o every_o honest_a heart_n pray_v god_n speed_v the_o plow_n so_o every_o every_o good_a minister_n will_v have_v a_o word_n to_o uphold_v it_o and_o every_o good_a magistrate_n make_v use_n of_o his_o power_n ●o_z save_v it_o from_o ruin_n what_o now_o may_v thou_o do_v what_o what_o list_v with_o thy_o own_o and_o advance_v thou_o own_o nest_n on_o high_a thus_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o public_a why_o be_v thou_o not_o content_a with_o thy_o own_o since_o especial_o thy_o land_n in_o common_a be_v worth_a as_o much_o and_o more_o than_o ever_o thy_o forefather_n purchase_v they_o at_o or_o thou_o of_o late_o have_v purchase_v thou_o at_o if_o they_o that_o sell_v thy_o land_n in_o common_a have_v have_v thy_o evil_a conscience_n to_o have_v improve_v they_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o public_a and_o poor_a thou_o and_o thy_o forefather_n must_v have_v pay_v twice_o as_o much_o if_o not_o thrice_o as_o much_o more_o for_o they_o but_o now_o these_o covetous_a wretch_n have_v get_v the_o trick_n of_o it_o to_o buy_v land_n in_o common_a and_o present_o improve_v they_o and_o so_o double_a if_o not_o treble_a their_o money_n upon_o a_o public_a account_n these_o cruel_a one_o care_v not_o how_o many_o they_o ruin_v so_o they_o may_v be_v rich_a nor_o how_o many_o they_o make_v beggar_n so_o they_o may_v be_v gentleman_n let_v they_o answer_v i_o this_o one_o question_n viz_n how_o so_o many_o thousand_o family_n can_v subsist_v when_o their_o livelihood_n be_v take_v away_o to_o wit_n their_o trade_n of_o tillage_n and_o how_o shall_v so_o many_o thousand_o of_o child_n be_v dispose_v of_o from_o starve_v vagrancy_n or_o thieve_v since_o so_o much_o enclosure_n have_v cause_v so_o many_o tradesman_n already_o they_o can_v live_v one_o by_o another_o but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v some_o book_n have_v be_v print_v of_o late_a that_o prone_a enclosure_n both_o lawful_a and_o laudable_a sure_o my_o heart_n bleed_v within_o i_o to_o see_v some_o hand_n at_o such_o book_n of_o who_o i_o hope_v better_a thing_n that_o they_o shall_v daub_v over_o this_o black_a sin_n with_o such_o untempered_a mortar_n oh_o how_o man_n will_v scrabble_n for_o gain_n they_o will_v not_o have_v a_o spade_n call_v a_o spade_n they_o will_v not_o though_o they_o be_v such_o be_v call_v oppressor_n unjust_a unconscionable_a uncharitable_a unmerciful_a and_o sure_o such_o book_n be_v stuff_v so_o full_a of_o levity_n and_o untruth_n that_o the_o author_n of_o they_o deserve_v rather_o to_o be_v pity_v than_o answer_v i_o but_o these_o book_n say_v there_o may_v be_v a_o innocent_a enclosure_n what_o then_o the_o petitioner_n to_o parliament_n former_o and_o the_o petitioner_n now_o to_o his_o highness_n and_o council_n seek_v a_o redress_n against_o such_o enclosure_n that_o do_v depopulate_v town_n and_o decay_n tillage_n and_o such_o the_o author_n of_o these_o book_n hold_v to_o be_v hateful_a to_o god_n and_o man_n yes_o but_o they_o say_v there_o may_v be_v a_o enclosure_n without_o decay_n of_o tillage_n or_o depopulation_n sure_o they_o may_v make_v man_n as_o soon_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n as_o that_o usual_o depopulation_n and_o decay_n of_o tillage_n will_v not_o follow_v enclosure_n in_o our_o inland_a county_n we_o see_v it_o with_o our_o eye_n it_o be_v so_o de_fw-la facto_fw-la it_o be_v so_o and_o we_o see_v the_o enclosure_n that_o they_o be_v so_o now_o about_o will_v be_v as_o sordid_a or_o more_o than_o any_o former_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o one_o covenant_n among_o they_o to_o uphold_v tillage_n and_o then_o we_o know_v what_o follow_v in_o his_o time_n even_o a_o utter_a depopulation_n it_o matter_n not_o what_o they_o pretend_v in_o their_o book_n provision_n for_o the_o poor_a etc._n etc._n in_o one_o place_n they_o speak_v of_o fourteen_o acre_n give_v to_o the_o poor_a what_o will_v this_o do_v when_o they_o have_v take_v away_o their_o whole_a trade_n of_o maintenance_n for_o themselves_o and_o family_n yet_o but_o they_o say_v they_o do_v not_o intend_v depopulation_n and_o decay_n of_o tillage_n if_o in_o charity_n i_o can_v believe_v they_o yet_o i_o must_v answer_v it_o be_v finis_fw-la operis_fw-la though_o not_o operantis_fw-la it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n though_o not_o of_o the_o workman_n as_o everywhere_o appear_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o infant_n enclosure_n may_v be_v somewhat_o in_o his_o nonage_n free_a from_o depopulation_n but_o never_o from_o decay_n of_o tillage_n yet_o i_o know_v not_o where_o gray-headed_a enclosure_n be_v free_a from_o depopulation_n as_o well_o as_o decay_v of_o tillage_n if_o anywhere_o it_o be_v rare_a indeed_o for_o they_o will_v never_o enclose_v to_o keep_v farmer_n tenant_n cottager_n servant_n team_n etc._n etc._n yea_o but_o the_o book_n tell_v of_o some_o town_n free_a from_o both_o depopulation_n and_o decay_n of_o tillage_n they_o scrabble_v up_o a_o few_o town_n that_o be_v innocent_a as_o they_o say_v which_o be_v just_a none_o at_o all_o in_o comparison_n of_o those_o many_o hundred_o be_v guilty_a of_o both_o and_o these_o few_o they_o be_v force_v to_o fish_v out_o of_o the_o county_n of_o leicester_n warwick_n northampton_n etc._n etc._n let_v we_o see_v what_o truth_n be_v in_o this_o for_o i_o know_v two_o or_o three_o of_o these_o place_n because_o they_o be_v near_o unto_o i_o they_o brag_v of_o the_o innocency_n of_o ashby_n magna_fw-la which_o have_v be_v enclose_v above_o fifty_o year_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o business_n stand_v thus_o the_o lord_n of_o that_o place_n give_v most_o of_o his_o tenant_n lease_n for_o three_o life_n and_o one_o and_o twenty_o year_n after_o which_o be_v not_o yet_o expire_v and_o therefore_o the_o time_n of_o depopulation_n of_o that_o town_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v but_o they_o name_n misterton_n and_o poultney_n as_o innocent_a also_o i_o wonder_v they_o dare_v do_v so_o since_o in_o regard_n of_o depopulation_n there_o be_v no_o house_n at_o all_o lest_o in_o either_o of_o they_o but_o the_o minister_n and_o the_o close_n now_o be_v call_v by_o the_o town_n name_n that_o be_v ancient_o there_o and_o as_o for_o decay_n of_o tillage_n in_o those_o place_n they_o have_v not_o be_v plough_v in_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n except_o some_o part_n of_o they_o of_o late_a and_o the_o tenant_n that_o rend_v they_o must_v plow_v they_o now_o but_o for_o four_o year_n only_o how_o dare_v they_o print_v such_o falsehood_n and_o as_o little_a credit_n i_o hear_v and_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o innocency_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o town_n name_v i_o have_v one_o word_n to_o speak_v to_o man_n that_o have_v not_o put_v off_o humanity_n natural_a compassion_n towards_o their_o own_o flesh_n and_o to_o christian_n that_o love_v much_o because_o god_n have_v forgive_v they_o much_o which_o be_v this_o if_o you_o do_v but_o hear_v what_o complain_v and_o lamentation_n be_v make_v of_o farmer_n that_o rent_a land_n turn_v out_o of_o those_o enclose_a place_n and_o of_o poor_a cottager_n together_o with_o they_o that_o the_o one_o can_v get_v no_o not_o at_o any_o excessive_a rate_n a_o little_a land_n to_o
