it_o may_v have_v be_v think_v a_o wisp_n of_o straw_n of_o my_o own_o light_n but_o i_o place_v it_o as_o i_o find_v it_o for_o i_o leave_v nothing_o out_o of_o all_o i_o can_v ever_o hear_v object_v against_o the_o act_n and_o therefore_o bring_v in_o this_o though_o i_o think_v there_o need_v no_o answer_n more_o than_o to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o ship_n to_o bring_v away_o the_o product_n of_o a_o country_n and_o we_o send_v none_o to_o fetch_v they_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a indication_n that_o we_o have_v no_o use_n of_o their_o commodity_n or_o our_o ship_n be_v better_o employ_v and_o that_o we_o want_v ship_n and_o man_n for_o such_o poor_a trade_n which_o nothing_o will_v force_v we_o to_o increase_v but_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a maxim_n in_o trade_n and_o navigation_n that_o whilst_o there_o be_v room_n in_o the_o easy_a and_o most_o profitable_a part_n none_o will_v run_v into_o the_o poor_a and_o more_o laborious_a and_o we_o not_o have_v seaman_n enough_o to_o manage_v our_o profitable_a and_o easy_a navigation_n as_o i_o have_v before_o mention_v be_v one_o reason_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o our_o rough_a and_o poor_a navigation_n which_o be_v wise_o provide_v for_o in_o this_o act_n that_o all_o foreign_a import_n of_o fish_n oil_n whale_n finn_n etc._n etc._n shall_v pay_v double_a allience_n duty_n this_o be_v intend_v to_o give_v we_o advantage_n above_o foreigner_n and_o will_v no_o doubt_n be_v a_o good_a encouragement_n if_o we_o have_v our_o other_o trade_n supply_v to_o bring_v seaman_n into_o the_o fish_n trade_n but_o have_v lose_v the_o trade_n for_o want_n of_o ship_n and_o seaman_n that_o therefore_o we_o shall_v sit_v down_o with_o the_o loss_n and_o take_v no_o course_n to_o retrieve_v it_o because_o at_o first_o we_o can_v bring_v in_o these_o commodity_n as_o cheap_a as_o foreigner_n can_v be_v with_o the_o slothful_a to_o say_v a_o lion_n be_v in_o the_o way_n but_o we_o have_v when_o this_o act_n be_v make_v better_a resolution_n and_o know_v then_o and_o so_o may_v now_o that_o it_o be_v better_a for_o the_o kingdom_n to_o pay_v twenty_o shilling_n to_o their_o own_o man_n than_o fifteen_o to_o stranger_n and_o by_o do_v that_o for_o a_o time_n we_o may_v regain_v those_o trade_n and_o manage_v they_o on_o as_o good_a term_n as_o any_o other_o this_o i_o believe_v will_v be_v think_v sufficient_a cause_n for_o the_o support_v the_o act_n as_o it_o be_v for_o make_v it_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o but_o set_v down_o in_o few_o word_n the_o tenor_n and_o force_n of_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o judgement_n of_o it_o the_o act_n in_o the_o preamble_n tell_v we_o the_o necessity_n for_o increase_v of_o our_o ship_n and_o seaman_n that_o for_o encouragement_n to_o so_o good_a a_o work_n that_o after_o a_o time_n limit_v no_o foreign-built_a ship_n or_o man_n shall_v import_n any_o commodity_n but_o of_o the_o product_n of_o their_o own_o country_n the_o consequence_n of_o which_o be_v that_o no_o other_o nation_n shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o carriage_n to_o we_o but_o each_o country_n their_o own_o and_o if_o they_o can_v not_o do_v it_o so_o cheap_a as_o we_o than_o our_o ship_n will_v have_v the_o carriage_n and_o not_o foreigner_n by_o which_o our_o ship_n and_o seaman_n will_v be_v increase_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o act_n be_v for_o encourage_v our_o fish_n and_o that_o be_v by_o place_v double_a allience-duty_n upon_o all_o fish_n oil_n etc._n etc._n catch_v and_o import_v by_o foreigner_n this_o sure_a can_v be_v a_o fault_n to_o give_v our_o own_o man_n encouragement_n above_o stranger_n since_o the_o navigation_n and_o trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n give_v they_o better_o livelihood_n than_o the_o fish_n will_v if_o foreigner_n who_o live_v hardly_o may_v import_v fish_n as_o free_v from_o duty_n as_o they_o the_o consequence_n of_o which_o will_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v lose_v the_o fish_n as_o we_o have_v some_o other_o employment_n of_o our_o seaman_n of_o bank_n and_o lumber_n presume_v the_o usefulness_n of_o bank_n in_o england_n be_v not_o now_o controvert_v i_o submit_v to_o better_a judgement_n how_o bank_n and_o lumber_n may_v be_v set_v up_o in_o all_o part_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o manufactory_n and_o navigation_n thereof_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v nothing_o so_o destructive_a to_o the_o trade_n and_o employment_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o engross_a the_o money_n and_o business_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o great_a and_o few_o hand_n that_o will_v bring_v the_o kingdom_n into_o the_o rickets_o draw_v all_o the_o nourishment_n to_o the_o head_n london_n will_v swell_v beyond_o its_o natural_a growth_n and_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n waste_v and_o dwindle_v to_o nothing_o the_o bank_n then_o that_o i_o shall_v humble_o propose_v may_v be_v thus_o establish_v 1._o that_o in_o every_o shire_n there_o be_v a_o bank_n erect_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n 2._o that_o the_o fund_z for_o these_o bank_n be_v land_n and_o money_n and_o because_o there_o may_v be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o point_n of_o title_n of_o such_o land_n as_o shall_v be_v put_v in_o bank_n that_o a_o law_n may_v pass_v in_o parliament_n that_o whoever_o be_v in_o quiet_a possession_n of_o a_o estate_n and_o shall_v place_v it_o in_o the_o bank_n as_o part_v of_o the_o original_a fund_z that_o land_n shall_v be_v perpetual_o in_o the_o bank_n whatever_o title_n may_v afterward_o appear_v and_o shall_v only_o be_v transfer_v to_o he_o that_o shall_v recover_v the_o same_o for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o whoever_o put_v land_n in_o bank_n be_v never_o to_o receive_v more_o out_o than_o his_o proportionable_a part_n of_o the_o gain_n arise_v from_o the_o general_n stock_n so_o that_o land_n remain_v the_o same_o whoever_o make_v a_o title_n to_o it_o but_o for_o the_o better_a credit_n of_o land_n in_o the_o bank_n a_o proviso_n may_v be_v in_o the_o act_n that_o no_o title_n of_o land_n put_v into_o the_o bank_n shall_v be_v question_v after_o year_n this_o will_v give_v a_o reputation_n to_o any_o particular_a person_n title_n of_o land_n in_o the_o bank_n if_o he_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o sell_v his_o interest_n which_o otherwise_o will_v not_o be_v of_o equal_a value_n with_o those_o that_o put_v their_o original_a fund_z into_o the_o bank_n in_o money_n the_o fund_z of_o banks_n be_v thus_o establish_v by_o land_n and_o money_n in_o each_o county_n the_o next_o thing_n will_v be_v to_o appoint_v the_o quantum_fw-la and_o who_o shall_v come_v in_o for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o there_o will_v be_v more_o than_o enough_o and_o every_o shire_n will_v strive_v to_o bring_v in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v be_v permit_v for_o the_o general_n fund_z of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n i_o suppose_v four_o million_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o begin_v with_o half_a land_n and_o half_a money_n and_o for_o the_o particular_a proportion_n of_o each_o shire_n their_o proportion_n in_o the_o land-tax_n may_v be_v a_o good_a rule_n the_o manage_n of_o these_o bank_n in_o each_o shire_n may_v be_v by_o man_n choose_v among_o themselves_o that_o twice_o a_o year_n a_o general_n meeting_n may_v be_v in_o london_n two_o be_v send_v out_o of_o every_o shire_n there_o to_o settle_v account_n and_o make_v dividend_n of_o the_o profit_n which_o will_v be_v great_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o person_n concern_v and_o will_v quicken_v the_o trade_n and_o business_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o the_o dispose_n put_v out_o and_o receive_v money_n in_o bank_n there_o can_v be_v no_o set_a rule_n and_o therefore_o will_v depend_v upon_o the_o accident_n of_o war_n and_o trade_n but_o some_o stand_a rule_n may_v be_v think_v on_o for_o the_o rate_n of_o exchange_n through_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o which_o there_o will_v arise_v great_a part_n of_o the_o gain_n and_o will_v be_v considerable_a in_o the_o advantage_n and_o ease_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o quick_a circulate_v of_o the_o money_n and_o the_o most_o effectual_a way_n for_o suppress_v highwayman_n for_o that_o no_o man_n need_v travel_n with_o more_o than_o pocket-money_n for_o his_o expense_n when_o he_o may_v have_v bank-ticket_n to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n where_o he_o go_v there_o seem_v a_o difficulty_n whether_o these_o bank_n shall_v pay_v any_o interest-money_n have_v so_o great_a a_o fund_z with_o which_o and_o their_o credit_n they_o may_v supply_v all_o the_o want_v and_o employment_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o that_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o hinder_v these_o bank_n from_o have_v a_o unlimited_a credit_n so_o that_o perchance_o two_o million_o of_o ready_a money_n

be_v so_o much_o industry_n have_v past_o the_o throne_n and_o such_o as_o attend_v it_o among_o which_o i_o account_v gentleman_n of_o real_a estate_n i_o come_v to_o those_o which_o i_o think_v sumptuary_n law_n shall_v reach_v and_o they_o be_v merchant_n artisan_n and_o countryman_n i_o leave_v out_o divine_v and_o lawyer_n the_o first_o lie_n under_o no_o temptation_n the_o latter_a i_o hope_v they_o will_v pardon_v i_o if_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o best_a return_n they_o can_v make_v to_o disperse_v their_o great_a gain_n among_o the_o poor_a but_o to_o return_v to_o those_o i_o think_v proper_o under_o sumptuary_n law_n merchant_n tradesman_n etc._n etc._n and_o for_o they_o there_o seem_v a_o double_a reason_n one_o because_o they_o know_v how_o to_o employ_v their_o money_n in_o trade_n and_o manufactorye_n and_o therefore_o shall_v as_o much_o as_o be_v practicable_a be_v keep_v from_o waste_v their_o stock_n on_o unnecessary_a expense_n for_o that_o their_o stock_n be_v the_o seed_n corn_n of_o trade_n and_o all_o man_n be_v careful_a that_o they_o want_v not_o seed_n for_o their_o ground_n because_o it_o be_v common_a therefore_o not_o regard_v but_o it_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o the_o endless_a expense_n of_o our_o artisan_n and_o poor_a be_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o our_o manufactorye_n there_o be_v a_o train_n of_o mischief_n that_o attend_v one_o another_o in_o the_o excess_n of_o people_n that_o depend_v on_o labour_n twenty_o shilling_n may_v find_v material_n to_o keep_v a_o family_n a_o month_n at_o work_n and_o the_o want_n of_o it_o not_o only_o hinder_v they_o but_o put_v they_o upon_o far_a expense_n and_o perhaps_o game_n or_o debauchery_n shopkeeper_n arrive_v to_o a_o high_a excess_n before_o it_o effect_n they_o but_o yet_o they_o be_v often_o dip_v before_o they_o see_v their_o danger_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o merchant_n that_o be_v a_o degree_n above_o they_o usual_o so_o in_o every_o respect_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o education_n and_o converse_n yet_o these_o man_n be_v often_o undo_v by_o a_o insensible_a way_n of_o expense_n than_o by_o loss_n at_o sea_n no_o man_n know_v how_o to_o live_v better_a than_o they_o i_o mean_v that_o we_o call_v fine_a eat_v and_o good_a equipage_n and_o there_o be_v those_o among_o our_o merchant_n can_v afford_v it_o but_o than_o it_o be_v such_o as_o be_v come_v into_o estate_n that_o be_v not_o get_v by_o man_n that_o understand_v fine_a live_n i_o have_v often_o reflect_v on_o the_o gain_n of_o countrey-farmers_n that_o may_v have_v a_o freehold_n of_o forty_o or_o fifty_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la these_o man_n we_o see_v out_o of_o their_o small_a income_n with_o their_o industry_n in_o rural_a matter_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o give_v good_a portion_n to_o their_o child_n have_v money_n always_o at_o command_n when_o a_o merchant_n of_o ten_o time_n his_o fund_z and_o appearance_n of_o gain_n shall_v hardly_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v afloat_o and_o for_o this_o i_o can_v assign_v no_o cause_n but_o the_o difference_n in_o expense_n and_o yet_o the_o merchant_n not_o account_v extravagant_a but_o the_o difference_n lie_v in_o this_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o country_n where_o the_o countryman_n live_v be_v to_o wear_v plain_a warm_a clothes_n his_o wife_n perhaps_o with_o good_a serge_n himself_o with_o kersey_n twice_o or_o thrice_o a_o weak_a the_o pot_n boil_v and_o the_o spit_v use_v on_o sunday_n the_o merchant_n he_o live_v in_o a_o city_n where_o rich_a clothes_n lace_n etc._n etc._n be_v common_a wear_n and_o a_o set_a table_n every_o day_n and_o to_o be_v but_o in_o the_o common_a road_n with_o his_o neighbour_n he_o spend_v five_o time_n as_o much_o as_o the_o countryman_n this_o at_o a_o moderate_a computation_n amount_v to_o a_o great_a sum_n in_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n i_o may_v enlarge_v on_o this_o subject_a but_o i_o submit_v to_o better_a understanding_n what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o my_o opinion_n that_o sumptuary_n law_n due_o execute_v will_v enrich_v and_o strengthen_v these_o kingdom_n we_o see_v it_o do_v so_o among_o our_o neighbour_n the_o dutch_a and_o hamburger_n where_o you_o seldom_o hear_v of_o a_o middle_a sort_n of_o dealer_n and_o perhaps_o never_o of_o a_o handioraft_n man_n to_o fail_v it_o be_v certain_a they_o sell_v for_o less_o profit_n than_o we_o do_v that_o they_o lose_v more_o in_o proportion_n at_o sea_n than_o we_o do_v occasion_v by_o the_o under-manning_n their_o ship_n yet_o notwithstanding_o these_o disadvantage_n their_o merchant_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o tradesman_n be_v much_o rich_a than_o we_o for_o which_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v but_o their_o frugal_a live_n which_o to_o i_o be_v a_o undeniable_a confutation_n of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o large_a our_o expense_n in_o clothes_n and_o food_n be_v the_o better_a our_o artisan_n and_o poor_a be_v maintain_v the_o true_a way_n for_o increase_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o the_o artisan_n in_o particular_a be_v to_o employ_v they_o in_o commodity_n export_v not_o consume_v in_o the_o kingdom_n if_o what_o i_o have_v say_v gain_v any_o acceptation_n the_o modus_fw-la for_o put_v something_o in_o practice_n like_o sumptuary-law_n may_v be_v admit_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o few_o word_n first_o negative_o i_o do_v not_o think_v make_v law_n to_o prohibit_v or_o limit_v any_o sort_n of_o people_n in_o their_o diet_n or_o apparel_n practicable_a it_o will_v set_v the_o nation_n in_o a_o ferment_n and_o herald_n must_v become_v judge_n of_o other_o food_n and_o raiment_n as_o lawyer_n be_v of_o their_o freehold_n and_o property_n those_o be_v

but_o to_o return_v the_o method_n for_o bring_v what_o have_v be_v discourse_v on_o this_o head_n into_o practice_n i_o conceive_v may_v be_v to_o lay_v a_o mulct_n by_o the_o quarter_n on_o all_o person_n that_o be_v artisan_n handicraftsman_n farmer_n victualler_n inn_n keeper_n that_o shall_v wear_v any_o silk_n gold_n or_o silver_n this_o will_v restrain_v the_o extravagancy_n of_o such_o as_o expense_n do_v most_o hurt_v unto_o and_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o enable_n they_o to_o enlarge_v their_o trade_n and_o manufactorye_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o their_o money_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o trade_n and_o if_o we_o suppose_v there_o may_v be_v but_o five_o hundred_o thousand_o such_o family_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o by_o frugal_a live_n they_o may_v lay_v up_o but_o forty_o
