hunger_n and_o fear_n of_o prison_n bring_v to_o we_o which_o we_o must_v entertain_v or_o have_v none_o and_o i_o think_v th●t_a lawyer_n have_v reason_n who_o be_v chide_v by_o the_o judge_n for_o often_o bring_v scandalous_a cause_n before_o he_o tell_v he_o they_o be_v the_o best_a he_o can_v get_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o he_o have_v the_o dutch_a virginia_n they_o will_v make_v it_o the_o

country_n produce_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o those_o ship_n and_o the_o man_n that_o sail_v in_o they_o nothing_o want_v for_o the_o supply_n of_o war_n or_o peace_n but_o it_o be_v ever_o our_o misery_n not_o to_o take_v our_o aim_n the_o distance_n of_o a_o age._n but_o half_a that_o time_n to_o the_o make_v we_o and_o enrich_v this_o kingdom_n by_o our_o labour_n will_v not_o be_v require_v for_o i_o can_v with_o assurance_n affirm_v that_o if_o we_o have_v from_o hence_o resolute_a instruction_n and_o indulgent_a encouragement_n within_o seven_o year_n we_o shall_v not_o

want_v only_o skilful_a man_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o produce_v they_o the_o cheap_a and_o ready_a way_n but_o the_o make_n of_o iron_n will_v require_v able_a purse_n than_o we_o be_v yet_o master_n of_o yet_o in_o another_o paragraph_n i_o shall_v propose_v that_o which_o if_o grant_v to_o we_o will_v enable_v we_o of_o ourselves_o to_o accomplish_v this_o and_o other_o great_a concernment_n it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o barbadoes_n send_v a_o better_a commodity_n into_o england_n than_o virginia_n yet_o do_v but_o withal_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o one_o ship_n from_o virginia_n bring_v more_o money_n to_o the_o crown_n than_o five_o ship_n of_o the_o same_o burden_n do_v from_o the_o barbados_n but_o have_v we_o ability_n or_o skill_n to_o set_v forward_o those_o staple_n commodity_n i_o mention_v of_o silk_n flax_n hemp_n pitch_n pot-ash_n and_o iron_n a_o few_o year_n will_v make_v we_o able_a to_o send_v more_o ship_n lade_v with_o these_o than_o now_o the_o barbados_n do_v with_o sugar_n among_o many_o other_o weighty_a reason_n why_o virginia_n have_v not_o all_o this_o while_n make_v any_o progression_n into_o staple_n commodity_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o our_o governor_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o those_o time_n they_o live_v in_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o wealth_n and_o industry_n on_o the_o vice_n of_o man_n for_o about_o the_o time_n of_o our_o first_o seat_v of_o the_o country_n do_v this_o vicious_a habit_n of_o take_v tobacco_n possess_v the_o english_a nation_n and_o from_o they_o have_v diffuse_v itself_o into_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n this_o i_o say_v be_v bring_v to_o we_o from_o spain_n at_o great_a price_n make_v our_o governor_n suppose_v great_a wealth_n may_v be_v raise_v to_o particular_n by_o this_o universal_a vice_n and_o indeed_o for_o many_o year_n they_o be_v not_o deceive_v till_o that_o increase_v in_o number_n and_o many_o other_o plantation_n follow_v the_o same_o design_n at_o last_o bring_v it_o as_o now_o it_o be_v to_o that_o lowness_n of_o price_n that_o the_o custom_n double_v the_o first_o purchase_n that_o be_v the_o merchant_n buy_v it_o for_o one_o penny_n the_o pound_n and_o we_o pay_v two_o penny_n for_o the_o custom_n of_o that_o which_o they_o be_v not_o please_v to_o take_v from_o we_o this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o fundamental_a hindrance_n that_o make_v the_o planter_n neglect_v all_o other_o accession_n to_o wealth_n and_o happiness_n and_o fix_v their_o hope_n only_o on_o this_o vicious_a weed_n of_o tobacco_n which_o at_o length_n have_v bring_v they_o to_o that_o extremity_n that_o they_o can_v neither_o handsome_o subsist_v with_o it_o nor_o without_o it_o another_o hindrance_n have_v be_v that_o there_o be_v never_o yet_o any_o public_a encouragement_n to_o assist_v the_o planter_n in_o those_o more_o chargeable_a undertake_n as_o iron-mine_n and_o ship_n another_o impediment_n and_o a_o important_a one_o too_o have_v be_v the_o dismembering_a of_o the_o colony_n by_o give_v away_o and_o erect_v divers_a principality_n out_o of_o it_o as_o maryland_n to_o my_o lord_n arundel_n and_o part_n of_o florida_n to_o my_o lord_n of_o arundel_n these_o grant_n will_v in_o the_o next_o age_n be_v find_v more_o disadvantageous_a to_o the_o crown_n than_o be_v perceptible_a in_o this_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o touch_v it_o uncommand_v as_o to_o the_o politic_a part_n of_o it_o but_o as_o to_o the_o oeconomick_a i_o shall_v affirm_v that_o we_o can_v never_o make_v any_o law_n for_o the_o erect_v staple_n commodity_n and_o set_v a_o stop_n to_o our_o unlimited_a plant_n of_o tobacco_n whilst_o these_o government_n be_v distinct_a and_o independent_a for_o on_o ftequent_a trial_n when_o we_o begin_v to_o make_v provision_n for_o these_o our_o people_n fly_v to_o maryland_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n heighten_v our_o public_a charge_n and_o weaken_v our_o defence_n against_o our_o perpetual_a enemy_n the_o indian_n nor_o be_v this_o all_o forby_o reason_n of_o these_o interpose_v grant_n we_o have_v suffer_v the_o dutch_a to_o enrich_v themselves_o on_o our_o discovery_n who_o have_v in_o our_o precinct_n settle_v a_o trade_n of_o beaver_n with_o the_o indian_n amount_v to_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o skin_n a_o year_n and_o supply_v our_o enemy_n with_o ammunition_n and_o gun_n in_o great_a proportion_n than_o we_o have_v they_o ourselves_o but_o god_n be_v thank_v as_o yet_o they_o their_o town_n and_o trade_n be_v in_o the_o king_n power_n when_o ever_o he_o shall_v command_v they_o either_o to_o quit_v their_o usurpation_n or_o to_o acknowledge_v their_o subjection_n to_o he_o in_o those_o part_n another_o great_a impediment_n have_v be_v the_o confine_v the_o planter_n to_o trade_n only_o with_o the_o english_a this_o no_o good_a subject_n or_o englishman_n will_v oppose_v if_o it_o be_v find_v either_o beneficial_a to_o the_o crown_n or_o our_o mother-nation_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o neither_o of_o these_o be_v advantage_v by_o it_o than_o we_o can_v but_o resent_v that_o forty_o thousand_o people_n shall_v be_v impoverish_v to_o enrich_v little_o more_o than_o forty_o merchant_n who_o be_v the_o only_a buyer_n of_o our_o tobacco_n give_v we_o what_o they_o please_v for_o it_o and_o after_o it_o

shall_v not_o repine_v but_o that_o it_o do_v the_o contrary_a to_o both_o i_o shall_v easy_o evidence_n when_o command_v another_o hindrance_n have_v be_v the_o want_n of_o a_o public_a stock_n to_o
