only_o as_o some_o county_n be_v great_a more_o populous_a etc._n etc._n they_o may_v have_v more_o or_o less_o proportionable_o obj._n 8_o there_o still_o remain_v one_o objection_n and_o that_o be_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v for_o hemp_n and_o flax_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o hemp_n or_o flax_n one_o or_o the_o other_o may_v plentiful_o be_v have_v in_o every_o county_n of_o england_n take_v sussex_n as_o a_o example_n any_o indifferent_a good_a land_n chalky_a etc._n etc._n from_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o down_n to_o the_o seaside_n with_o double_a fold_v or_o dung_v and_o twice_o plough_v will_v produce_v hemp_n in_o abundance_n yet_o though_o their_o land_n be_v rich_a enough_o dry_a etc._n etc._n it_o will_v not_o produce_v good_a flax_n but_o to_o supply_v that_o many_o thousand_o acre_n of_o the_o wild_a of_o suffex_n will_v produce_v crop_n of_o flax_n worth_a some_o four_o some_o five_o some_o six_o pound_n a_o acre_n and_o that_o kind_a for_o hemp_n as_o aforesaid_a worth_a as_o much_o beside_o for_o encourage_v the_o plant_v the_o same_o at_o home_n it_o may_v be_v convenient_a to_o lay_v a_o imposition_n of_o four_o or_o five_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n or_o upward_o upon_o all_o hemp_n thread_n cordage_n or_o linen_n import_v from_o foreign_a part_n by_o mean_n whereof_o we_o may_v raise_v it_o at_o home_n cheap_a than_o buy_v they_o abroad_o and_o then_o everybody_o will_v plant_v hemp_n and_o flax_n abundant_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o course_n enrich_v those_o that_o promote_v it_o but_o why_o 4_o or_o 5_o county_n shall_v as_o some_o have_v propose_v enjoy_v this_o great_a wealth_n and_o advantage_n of_o promote_a the_o linen_n manufactory_a and_o improvement_n of_o land_n and_o not_o the_o rest_n i_o can_v understand_v nor_o for_o what_o reason_n so_o many_o people_n shall_v be_v drain_v out_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n into_o four_o or_o five_o midland_n county_n since_o those_o county_n next_o adjoin_v to_o the_o sea_n aught_o to_o be_v keep_v most_o populous_a but_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v so_o much_o hemp_n be_v plant_v i_o answer_v hemp_n be_v of_o great_a strength_n than_o flax_n therefore_o of_o more_o excellent_a use_n for_o great_a advantage_n as_o cable_n rope_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o cordage_n sail_n sack_v etc._n etc._n as_o also_o thread_n for_o all_o net_n for_o fishery_n for_o which_o and_o other_o purpose_n we_o now_o buy_v yearly_a several_a hundred_o thousand_o pound_n worth_n from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n so_o that_o without_o controversy_n there_o be_v as_o much_o hemp_n to_o be_v use_v as_o flax_n and_o consequent_o the_o hemp-mill_n may_v be_v as_o useful_a as_o the_o spinning-instrument_n have_v we_o hope_v satisfactory_o answer_v all_o material_a objection_n against_o the_o main_a body_n of_o this_o design_n it_o remain_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o order_n and_o method_n of_o govern_v these_o great_a family_n or_o corporation_n but_o the_o particular_n thereof_o we_o leave_v to_o the_o deep_a wisdom_n and_o judicious_a care_n of_o authority_n only_o in_o general_a propose_n 1._o that_o for_o the_o better_a encouragement_n and_o support_v of_o so_o many_o poor_a people_n labour_v in_o so_o profitable_a a_o manufactory_a each_o alms-house_n be_v provide_v with_o and_o allow_v a_o public_a granary_n for_o stocking_n themselves_o with_o corn_n when_o it_o be_v cheap_a against_o the_o time_n of_o dearth_n a_o privilege_n we_o conceive_v not_o to_o be_v so_o proper_o advisable_v for_o other_o company_n or_o handicraft_n as_o some_o propose_n and_o desire_v because_o that_o will_v always_o keep_v corn_n too_o cheap_a and_o consequent_o undo_v the_o tenant_n or_o landlord_n or_o both_o for_o what_o make_v wheat_n as_o often_o at_o 4_o s._n a_o bushel_n under_o which_o it_o be_v know_v the_o farmer_n can_v live_v as_o at_o 2_o s._n 6_o d._n but_o because_o all_o people_n in_o the_o nation_n that_o have_v occasion_n must_v buy_v of_o the_o land-occupier_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o it_o be_v scarce_o but_o by_o such_o general_a granary_n the_o hope_n of_o 4_o s._n per_fw-la bushel_n will_v be_v banish_v the_o market_n but_o in_o our_o case_n painful_a husbandry_n that_o ancient_a employment_n may_v well_o allow_v granary_n both_o because_o this_o manufactory_a and_o design_n ease_v their_o charge_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o be_v of_o more_o advantage_n to_o the_o public_a than_o some_o 20_o trade_n beside_o and_o particular_o because_o it_o help_v to_o improve_v their_o land_n by_o flax_n and_o hemp_n that_o now_o they_o need_v not_o so_o much_o rely_v upon_o corn_n for_o raise_v their_o rent_n beside_o if_o other_o overstockt_a trade_n want_v bread_n let_v they_o quit_v their_o station_n and_o come_v to_o weave_v and_o then_o they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o these_o granary_n also_o 2._o that_o the_o maiden-children_n bring_v up_o in_o this_o corporation_n may_v after_o they_o attain_v to_o the_o age_n of_o 15_o year_n or_o other_o fit_a time_n be_v permit_v to_o go_v forth_o to_o service_n to_o learn_v good_a huswisry_n and_o the_o lad_n to_o husbandry_n or_o trade_n if_o they_o think_v fit_a nor_o will_v there_o be_v need_n of_o so_o great_a caution_n to_o prevent_v the_o marriage_n of_o the_o mean_a fort_n since_o now_o the_o parish_n need_v not_o so_o much_o fear_v a_o charge_n know_v a_o mean_n how_o to_o employ_v all_o their_o child_n as_o fast_o as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v five_o or_o six_o year_n old_a nor_o can_v a_o young_a man_n have_v better_a choice_n for_o a_o wise_a than_o here_o among_o so_o many_o all_o breed_v up_o industrious_o under_o strict_a discipline_n and_o in_o a_o way_n to_o live_v and_o therefore_o this_o method_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o cause_v any_o depopulation_n that_o it_o may_v increase_v our_o inhabitant_n and_o the_o more_o the_o better_a since_o we_o know_v how_o to_o dispose_v of_o they_o in_o such_o laudable_a employment_n moreover_o hereby_o the_o distract_n care_v of_o poor_a honest_a parent_n oft_o occasion_v by_o a_o foresight_n of_o their_o incapacity_n to_o provide_v for_o their_o child_n will_v be_v remove_v so_o
