world_n because_o one_o part_n can_v not_o then_o help_v another_o for_o which_o reason_n the_o northern_a nation_n heretofore_o when_o their_o people_n multiply_v too_o fast_o do_v disburden_v themselves_o by_o send_v out_o numerous_a colony_n to_o seek_v out_o new_a dwelling_n in_o apprehension_n that_o by_o a_o scarce_a year_n they_o may_v be_v destroy_v at_o home_n but_o england_n with_o any_o moderate_a care_n be_v not_o liable_a to_o such_o a_o fear_n though_o its_o present_a number_n shall_v even_o be_v double_v because_o we_o have_v every_o where_o the_o sea_n to_o friend_n and_o in_o such_o a_o extremity_n our_o want_n may_v be_v supply_v from_o other_o nation_n and_o our_o matter_n lead_v we_o into_o it_o it_o may_v not_o be_v unnecessary_a here_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o country_n not_o overstocked_a with_o man_n and_o though_o situate_a so_o as_o to_o be_v relieve_v by_o the_o sea_n may_v suffer_v great_o and_o be_v reduce_v very_o low_a for_o want_v of_o corn_n unless_o they_o make_v some_o due_a provision_n against_o such_o a_o calamity_n the_o value_n of_o the_o wheat_n barley_n and_o rye_n necessary_a for_o the_o sustenance_n of_o england_n amount_v at_o least_o to_o six_o million_o of_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la at_o the_o common_a rate_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o if_o a_o long_a dearth_n shall_v happen_v here_o such_o as_o they_o late_o have_v in_o france_n though_o we_o may_v be_v supply_v upon_o more_o easy_a term_n than_o france_n be_v and_o though_o we_o may_v still_o keep_v our_o people_n alive_a yet_o that_o a_o disaster_n of_o this_o kind_n will_v exhaust_v more_o of_o our_o money_n than_o a_o war_n of_o ten_o year_n continuance_n suppose_v which_o god_n forbid_v that_o for_o two_o or_o three_o year_n

the_o kingdom_n and_o it_o may_v be_v make_v evident_a that_o such_o a_o scarcity_n do_v very_o much_o drain_v the_o french_a to_o provide_v against_o a_o calamity_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n be_v no_o doubt_n of_o the_o high_a consequence_n that_o we_o have_v be_v deficient_a in_o this_o point_n of_o polity_n be_v too_o notorious_a though_o providence_n have_v take_v more_o care_n of_o we_o than_o a_o negligent_a people_n deserve_v however_o we_o have_v have_v outrageous_a famine_n in_o england_n and_o in_o edward_n the_o 3d_v reign_v corn_n do_v once_o rise_v to_o 13_o time_n the_o

in_o a_o plentiful_a year_n there_o be_v not_o above_o five_o month_n stock_n of_o grain_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o succeed_a harvest_n and_o not_o above_o four_o month_n stock_n in_o a_o

where_o one_o hit_v when_o the_o other_o fail_v that_o now_o a-days_o we_o seldom_o see_v corn_n above_o treble_a its_o common_a rate_n which_o however_o will_v be_v fatal_a if_o it_o shall_v at_o

or_o by_o unwholesome_a diet._n we_o take_v it_o that_o a_o defect_n in_o the_o harvest_n may_v raise_v the_o price_n of_o corn_n in_o the_o follow_a proportion_n defect_n  _fw-fr above_o the_o
