which_o some_o impute_v to_o the_o defect_n some_o to_o the_o non-execution_n of_o the_o law_n already_o in_o force_n other_o to_o the_o misapply_v and_o mismanagement_n of_o the_o money_n yearly_o

by_o this_o here_o propose_v all_o child_n will_v be_v breed_v up_o to_o work_n from_o their_o infancy_n so_o as_o they_o will_v know_v how_o to_o get_v their_o own_o live_n without_o beg_v or_o

these_o few_o follow_a line_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o author_n to_o show_v to_o the_o commonalty_n of_o england_n that_o there_o be_v a_o way_n to_o make_v the_o nation_n rich_a notwithstanding_o
