people both for service in the Wars and in times of Peace being also a principall meane that people are set on worke and thereby withdrawn from Idlenes Drunkennes unlawfull Games and all other leud practises and conditions of life And whereas by the same meanes of Tillage and Husbandry the greater part of the Subjects are preserved from extreame poverty in a competent estate of maintenance and means to live and the wealth of the Realme is kept dispersed and distributed in many hands where it is more ready to answer all necessary charges for the service of the Realme and whereas also the said Husbandry and Tillage is a cause that the Realme doth more stand upon it self without depending upon forreigne Countreyes either for bringing in of Corne in time of scarcity or for vent and utterance of our own Commodityes being in over great abundance and whereas from the 27 th yere of King Henry the eighth of famous memory untill the 35. yere of her Majesties most happy Reigne there was alwayes in force some Law which did ordeine a conversion and continuance of a certaine quantity and proportion of Land in Tillage not to be altered And that in the last Parliament held in the said 35. yere of her Majesties Reigne partly by reason of the great plenty and cheapnes of graine at that time within this Realme and partly by reason of the imperfection and obscurity of the Law made in that case the same was discontinued Since which time there have growne many more Depopulations by turneing Tillage into Pasture than at any time for the like number of yeres heretofore Be it enacted c. These Acts are both expired but if they had not they would have been repealed as divers of like sort have been so that we cannot expect a stop for this great evil till it stay it self that is till depopulating a Lordship will not improve or encrease the owners Rent some examples whereof I have seen already and more may do because Pasture already begins to exceed the vent for the Commodities which it yields but other restraint till the Lords and such Gentlemen as are usually members of the House of Commons who have been the chief and almost only Authors of and gainers by this false-named improvement of their Lands amongst us think fit to make a Self-denying Act in this particular would be as vain to think of as that any Law which hinders the profit of a powerful man should be effectually executed This prevailing mischief in some parts of this Shire hath taken away and destroyed more private Families of good account than time it self within the compass of my observations yet some very few have escaped where this devouring Pestilence hath raged and amongst them through Gods great mercy my own which surely should not be envyed being for the most part procul negotiis Ut prisca gens mortalium Paterna rura bobus exercens suis. I should here have ended but that it may be pertinent for the encouragement of any who may be disposed further to enlarge this work or make any Appendix to it to let him know that here is little out of the Arch-bishop of Yorkes Registry from whence one of my Agents only brought me the Titles of certain Records and another a Catalogue of the Livings-Spiritual in the Arch-deaconry of Nottingham with their Values Incumbents and Patrons as they then were out of which I only transcribed the values in the Kings Books and last Patrons And also that here is omitted by mischance and over-sight many Notes which I had by me and intended to insert as some concerning Trewthales Mannor in Colston Basset and a certain Chapel near the Bridge there Founded by the last Lord Basset and several particular Inscriptions of Monuments and other things in divers other places which I beg their pardon for who may be concerned And that though I was a Commissioner for the Royal Aid and Subsidy and since that a Justice of Peace I could never get an exact account of all the present owners in a great part of the County but am forced to end in many places with one I have which was made about the year 1612. The great helps I had for elder times were chiefly these viz. my best Copy of Doomsday Book taken by my Father-in-law Serjeant Bounes own hand from that in the Exchequer What other use I have made of any of his Collections is marked in the Margent with B. but where the Printer over-looked it The Copy of the Red Book in the Exchequer and Chartae Antiq. and some other things I had from Mr. Dugdale the most excellent Collections from the Pipe Rolls and some other Records by Mr. Roger Dodsworth of Yorkshire I had from my Lord Fairfax by the procurement of my honoured friend Doctor Vere Harcourt our Arch-deacon several Collections of the industrious Mr. St. Lo Kniveton were given me by my Lord Chaworth the Leiger Books of Lenton and Dale and divers abstracts from the Plea Rolls and other Records were lent me by Mr. Samuel Roper the Book of Rufford by my Lord Hallifax that of Newstede and some other things by my Lord Byron that of Blyth by Sir Gervas Clifton and the Register of Thurgarton by Mr. Cecill Cooper c.
