A80410	Unum necessarium: or, The poore mans case: being an expedient to make provision of all poore people in the Kingdome. Humbly presented to the higher powers : begging some angelicall ordinance, for the speedy abating of the prises of corne, without which, the ruine of many thousands (in humane judgment) is inevitable. In all humility propounding, that the readiest way is a suppression or regulation of innes and ale-houses, where halfe the barley is wasted in excesse : proving them by law to be all in a præmunire, and the grand concernment, that none which have been notoriously disaffected, and enemies to common honesty and civility, should sell any wine, strong ale, or beere, but others to be licensed by a committee in every county, upon recommendation of the minister, and such of the inhabitants in every parish, where need requires, that have been faithfull to the publike. Wherein there is a hue-and-cry against drunkards, as the most dangerous antinomians : and against ingrossers, to make a dearth, and cruell misers, which are the caterpillars and bane of this kingdome. / By John Cooke, of Graies Inne, barrester.

time_n of_o great_a mortality_n and_o sickness_n when_o most_o of_o the_o college_n doctor_n have_v house_n in_o the_o country_n have_v leave_v the_o city_n as_o in_o the_o late_a great_a sickness_n if_o none_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o practise_v but_o themselves_o for_o it_o please_v god_n that_o the_o plague_n most_o common_o inflict_v and_o visit_v the_o poor_a sort_n of_o people_n such_o as_o live_v in_o close_a ally_n and_o out_o place_n of_o the_o city_n 2._o the_o doctor_n not_o make_v their_o own_o medicine_n but_o send_v poor_a people_n to_o the_o apothycarye_n where_o no_o penny_n no_o pater_n noster_n no_o money_n no_o medicine_n though_o i_o speak_v not_o against_o the_o profession_n every_o man_n must_v live_v by_o his_o trade_n i_o believe_v many_o of_o they_o to_o be_v very_o honest_a and_o a_o most_o necessary_a profession_n and_o consequent_o have_v no_o medicine_n by_o they_o for_o the_o speedy_a relief_n of_o the_o poor_a whether_o in_o probability_n those_o that_o compound_v their_o own_o medicine_n be_v not_o more_o charitable_a and_o helpful_a to_o poor_a people_n than_o such_o as_o keep_v no_o medicine_n by_o they_o it_o be_v seldom_o see_v that_o he_o that_o buy_v all_o his_o meat_n at_o the_o cook_n serve_v many_o beggar_n at_o the_o dore._n 3._o whether_o it_o be_v for_o the_o health_n and_o welfare_n of_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v the_o supreme_a law_n that_o the_o doctor_n recept_n and_o art_n of_o physic_n shall_v be_v practise_v in_o such_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n that_o no_o man_n know_v what_o he_o buy_v or_o what_o he_o pay_v for_o it_o be_v whole_o upon_o the_o doctor_n and_o appothycary_n conscience_n what_o name_n and_o price_n they_o please_v to_o give_v the_o physic_n so_o that_o at_o the_o best_a it_o be_v but_o a_o pig_n in_o a_o poak_v as_o we_o say_v proverbial_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o other_o calling_n where_o every_o man_n know_v what_o he_o buy_v and_o if_o they_o please_v they_o may_v as_o well_o set_v down_o in_o plain_a english_a word_n what_o they_o prescribe_v and_o what_o they_o pay_v for_o last_o what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o deny_v to_o teach_v ordinary_a medicine_n to_o poor_a people_n as_o good_a drink_n and_o possit_n make_v of_o herb_n whereby_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n make_v medicinable_a herb_n and_o root_n be_v frustrate_v and_o make_v void_a and_o the_o common_a know_a use_n of_o herb_n grow_v out_o of_o use_n and_o knowledge_n of_o poor_a people_n in_o this_o kingdom_n special_o in_o this_o city_n of_o london_n which_o if_o we_o know_v how_o to_o make_v use_n of_o god_n good_a creature_n we_o may_v prevent_v many_o disease_n and_o maintain_v ourselves_o in_o bodily_a health_n and_o strength_n much_o better_a than_o now_o we_o do_v special_o in_o such_o place_n where_o there_o be_v neither_o physician_n nor_o appothicary_n 12._o but_o that_o i_o may_v be_v just_a and_o impartial_a let_v i_o speak_v a_o word_n to_o my_o own_o profession_n i_o will_v humble_o beseech_v the_o reverend_a judge_n before_o they_o condemn_v any_o man_n for_o steal_v a_o horse_n a_o cow_n or_o a_o sheep_n from_o he_o that_o have_v 100_o or_o 1000_o that_o they_o inquire_v whether_o the_o prisoner_n be_v not_o necessitate_v to_o do_v it_o to_o buy_v bread_n for_o his_o family_n or_o for_o milk_n or_o clothes_n for_o his_o poor_a wife_n and_o child_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o by_o his_o best_a industry_n and_o labour_n to_o keep_v himself_o alive_a and_o family_n without_o steal_v for_o if_o so_o then_o he_o be_v

he_o may_v live_v and_o then_o if_o he_o steal_v any_o more_o he_o be_v to_o be_v proceed_v against_o as_o incorrigible_a this_o be_v a_o sweet_a temper_n both_o of_o justice_n and_o mercy_n those_o that_o have_v acquire_v honour_n and_o great_a estate_n by_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o the_o law_n which_o can_v better_o show_v itself_o then_o by_o dispatch_v poor_a man_n cause_n
