unknowen_a what_o dislike_n we_o have_v ever_o have_v of_o the_o use_n of_o tobacco_n as_o tend_v to_o a_o general_a and_o new_a corruption_n both_o of_o man_n body_n and_o manner_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o the_o two_o more_o tolerable_a that_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v import_v among_o many_o other_o vanity_n and_o superfluity_n which_o come_v from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n then_o permit_v to_o be_v plant_v here_o within_o this_o realm_n thereby_o to_o abuse_v and_o misimploy_v the_o soil_n of_o this_o fruitful_a kingdom_n for_o which_o purpose_n by_o our_o direction_n letter_n of_o late_o have_v be_v address_v from_o our_o council_n of_o state_n prohibit_v the_o plantation_n thereof_o within_o a_o certain_a distance_n of_o our_o city_n of_o london_n but_o enter_v into_o further_a consideration_n of_o the_o manifold_a inconvenience_n of_o suffer_v this_o nourishment_n of_o vice_n and_o nothing_o else_o as_o a_o noisome_a and_o run_a weed_n to_o multiply_v and_o overspread_v within_o this_o our_o kingdom_n we_o be_v resolve_v upon_o many_o and_o weighty_a reason_n of_o state_n to_o make_v the_o say_a prohibition_n general_a for_o first_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o whereas_o the_o use_n of_o foreign_a tobacco_n be_v chief_o vent_v and_o receive_v in_o city_n and_o great_a town_n where_o riot_n and_o excess_n use_v to_o take_v place_n it_o be_v now_o by_o the_o inland_a plantation_n become_v promiscuous_a and_o begin_v to_o be_v take_v in_o every_o mean_a uillage_n even_o among_o the_o base_a people_n second_o we_o be_v give_v to_o understand_v from_o diverse_a person_n of_o skill_n and_o experience_n that_o the_o english_a tobacco_n howsoever_o some_o do_v presume_v or_o imagine_v by_o industry_n and_o experience_n to_o rectify_v it_o and_o make_v it_o good_a wherein_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o opinion_n to_o do_v mischief_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_o in_o itself_o more_o crude_a poisonous_a and_o dangerous_a for_o the_o body_n and_o health_n of_o our_o subject_n then_o that_o that_o come_v from_o hot_a climate_n so_o that_o the_o medicinal_a use_n of_o tobacco_n which_o be_v that_o that_o be_v only_o good_a in_o it_o and_o to_o be_v approve_v be_v in_o this_o kind_n also_o corrupt_v and_o infect_v three_o whereas_o our_o colony_n and_o plantation_n in_o virginia_n and_o the_o summer_n land_n be_v proper_a and_o natural_a climate_n for_o that_o plant_n and_o the_o true_a temper_n thereof_o receive_v much_o comfort_n by_o the_o importation_n thereof_o into_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v to_o be_v respect_v at_o least_o in_o the_o interim_n until_o our_o say_a colony_n may_v grow_v to_o yield_v better_a and_o more_o solid_a commodity_n now_o the_o say_a trade_n from_o thence_o be_v and_o will_v be_v by_o the_o plantation_n within_o this_o realm_n choke_v and_o overthrow_v four_o we_o do_v find_v also_o that_o the_o reason_n that_o move_v we_o to_o interdict_v the_o plant_n thereof_o near_o the_o city_n of_o london_n which_o be_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o garden_n ground_n and_o rich_a soil_v ground_n from_o diverse_a root_n and_o herb_n fit_a for_o victual_n and_o sustenance_n unto_o this_o harmful_a vanity_n extend_v likewise_o unto_o all_o city_n town_n and_o uillage_n and_o rather_o more_o by_o how_o much_o the_o poverty_n be_v great_a there_o then_o here_o above_o and_o last_o for_o that_o it_o do_v manifest_o tend_v to_o the_o diminution_n of_o our_o custom_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o although_o in_o case_n of_o good_a manufacture_n and_o necessary_a commodity_n we_o do_v

therefore_o intend_v in_o time_n to_o provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o spread_a evil_n which_o have_v in_o a_o very_a few_o year_n disperse_v itself_o into_o most_o part_n of_o our_o kingdom_n do_v
