A54122	A commentary upon the present condition of the kingdom and its melioration	Penn, William, 1644-1718.	1677 (1677)	Wing P1268; ESTC R32305	33,126	47

the_o mean_n of_o advance_v trade_n be_v so_o to_o influence_n every_o particular_a person_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o he_o may_v have_v money_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o his_o call_v and_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o design_n be_v they_o small_a or_o great_a which_o he_o have_v undertake_v and_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n the_o way_n to_o destroy_v trade_n be_v to_o draw_v the_o money_n from_o the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o people_n and_o gather_v it_o from_o all_o the_o particular_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o the_o more_o this_o be_v do_v the_o more_o the_o material_n of_o trade_n be_v take_v away_o and_o consequent_o it_o must_v weaken_v and_o consume_v so_o that_o we_o do_v plain_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o evil_n at_o this_o time_n the_o parliament_n have_v grant_v the_o king_n such_o immense_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o that_o collect_v upon_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o subject_a which_o alone_o be_v capable_a to_o manage_v a_o great_a trade_n and_o beside_o these_o excise_n and_o hearth-mony_n collect_v also_o as_o the_o other_o but_o never_o know_v till_o of_o late_a to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v the_o new_a building_n of_o london_n especial_o in_o the_o concern_v thereof_o so_o that_o put_v these_o thing_n together_o we_o may_v wonder_v we_o be_v not_o much_o low_a and_o weak_a than_o we_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o this_o time_n well_o may_v landlord_n complain_v of_o the_o fall_n of_o rent_n and_o have_v their_o land_n throw_v into_o their_o own_o hand_n when_o by_o their_o own_o act_n they_o have_v take_v away_o the_o mean_n of_o traffic_n and_o those_o material_n that_o man_n must_v work_v upon_o for_o their_o support_n for_o as_o in_o a_o natural_a body_n there_o be_v require_v nourishment_n to_o keep_v it_o in_o life_n and_o consistency_n and_o also_o this_o nourishment_n must_v have_v a_o vehicle_n which_o be_v the_o blood_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v convey_v to_o all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n now_o if_o you_o take_v away_o this_o too_o often_o and_o in_o too_o great_a quantity_n no_o wonder_n if_o at_o last_o the_o body_n grow_v weak_a and_o unable_a to_o perform_v what_o otherwise_o may_v be_v require_v of_o it_o when_o the_o blood_n be_v perfect_o distribute_v through_o all_o the_o part_n and_o permit_v to_o take_v its_o free_a and_o natural_a circulation_n so_o it_o be_v in_o a_o body_n politic_a trade_n be_v its_o nourishment_n maintain_v its_o life_n and_o keep_v it_o in_o heart_n give_v it_o a_o healthful_a constitution_n and_o preserve_v it_o from_o sink_v by_o any_o weakness_n within_o and_o enable_v it_o also_o to_o repel_v external_a violence_n the_o vehicle_n to_o convey_v this_o nourishment_n to_o all_o the_o part_n for_o their_o relief_n be_v money_n the_o very_a blood_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a of_o which_o the_o more_o we_o take_v from_o this_o body_n the_o near_o we_o do_v bring_v it_o to_o a_o consumption_n and_o inability_n to_o sustain_v itself_o far_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v that_o the_o burden_n be_v make_v light_a when_o divide_v among_o so_o many_o interest_n which_o as_o to_o private_a concern_v perhaps_o be_v not_o so_o much_o perceive_v at_o present_a but_o as_o to_o the_o concern_v of_o trade_n the_o whole_a nation_n be_v but_o as_o one_o man_n and_o so_o much_o as_o you_o take_v there_o from_o so_o much_o you_o take_v from_o trade_n and_o the_o livelihood_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o in_o time_n will_v return_v with_o more_o weight_n upon_o particular_n as_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n in_o rent_n wool_n

those_o no_o light_a one_o neither_o such_o as_o to_o put_v we_o in_o a_o posture_n of_o defence_n in_o case_n of_o any_o attempt_n from_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n which_o our_o present_a circumstance_n leave_v we_o not_o without_o cause_n to_o apprehend_v also_o to_o take_v off_o the_o burden_n that_o lie_v upon_o the_o king_n revenue_n and_o further_o if_o we_o can_v to_o recover_v those_o eruption_n and_o devastation_n make_v upon_o our_o trade_n and_o livelihood_n to_o set_v we_o upon_o our_o leg_n that_o we_o may_v show_v something_o of_o ancient_a valour_n in_o time_n of_o such_o

our_o life_n and_o livelihood_n for_o our_o liberty_n shall_v we_o destroy_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v save_v ourselves_o and_o give_v away_o the_o support_n of_o our_o life_n for_o the_o

from_o without_o be_v it_o not_o better_o we_o cast_v about_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o other_o mean_n of_o relief_n can_v we_o not_o find_v a_o ulcerate_v part_n in_o this_o body_n which_o be_v lop_v off_o that_o nourishment_n which_o it_o too_o potent_o draw_v to_o itself_o may_v by_o its_o separation_n be_v distribute_v through_o the_o whole_a mass_n for_o the_o support_n of_o
