resemblance_n with_o the_o transplant_n or_o transfer_v of_o family_n for_o the_o tree_n we_o know_v by_o nature_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o better_a ground_n can_v fasten_v upon_o

court_n and_o tide_n how_o many_o family_n of_o the_o scotch_a man_n be_v plant_v in_o the_o city_n burrough_n and_o town_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o i_o do_v assure_v myself_o then_o more_o than_o some_o person_n of_o quality_n about_o his_o majesty_n person_n here_o at_o court_n and_o in_o london_n and_o some_o other_o inferior_a person_n that_o have_v a_o dependence_n upon_o they_o the_o

how_o much_o more_o at_o hand_n for_o that_o master_n speaker_n you_o must_v impute_v it_o of_o necessity_n to_o some_o special_a accident_n of_o time_n and_o prace_n that_o draw_v they_o thither_o for_o you_o see_v plain_o before_o your_o eye_n that_o in_o geneva_n which_o be_v much_o near_o where_o in_o france_n they_o be_v invite_v with_o privilege_n and_o with_o the_o very_a privilege_n of_o

tell_v you_o master_n speaker_n what_o i_o think_v in_o all_o the_o place_n of_o the_o world_n near_o or_o far_o of_o they_o will_v never_o take_v that_o course_n of_o life_n in_o this_o kingdom_n which_o they_o content_v themselves_o with_o in_o poland_n for_o we_o see_v it_o to_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n that_o will_v rather_o discover_v poverty_n abroad_o then_o at_o home_n there_o be_v never_o a_o gentleman_n that_o have_v over_o reach_v himself_o in_o expense_n and_o thereby_o must_v abate_v his_o countenance_n but_o he_o will_v rather_o travel_v and_o do_v it_o abroad_o then_o at_o home_n and_o we_o know_v well_o they_o have_v good_a high_a stomach_n and_o have_v ever_o stand_v in_o some_o term_n of_o emulation_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v never_o live_v here_o except_o they_o can_v live_v in_o good_a fashion_n so_o as_o i_o assure_v you_o master_n speaker_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o first_o which_o we_o now_o have_v to_o admit_v they_o will_v have_v like_a as_o that_o contention_n have_v between_o the_o nobility_n and_o people_n of_o rome_n for_o admit_v of_o a_o plebeian_n commonwealth_n whilst_o it_o be_v in_o passage_n it_o be_v very_o vehement_a and_o mighty_o stand_v upon_o and_o when_o the_o people_n have_v obtain_v it_o they_o never_o make_v any_o plebeian_n consul_n not_o in_o 60_o year_n after_o and_o so_o will_v this_o be_v for_o many_o year_n as_o i_o be_o persuade_v rather_o a_o matter_n in_o opinion_n and_o reputation_n then_o in_o effect_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o answer_n that_o i_o give_v to_o this_o main_a inconvenience_n pretend_v of_o surcharge_n of_o people_n the_o second_o answer_n full_a england_n not_o people_v to_o the_o full_a which_o i_o give_v to_o this_o objection_n be_v this_o i_o must_v have_v leave_n to_o doubt_v master_n speaker_n that_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n be_v not_o people_v to_o the_o full_a for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o territory_n of_o france_n italy_n flanders_n and_o some_o part_n of_o germany_n do_v in_o equal_a space_n of_o ground_n bear_v and_o contain_v a_o far_o great_a quantity_n of_o people_n if_o they_o be_v muster_v by_o the_o poll_n neither_o can_v i_o see_v that_o this_o kingdom_n be_v so_o much_o inferior_a unto_o those_o foreign_a part_n in_o fruitfulness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o population_n which_o make_v i_o conceive_v we_o have_v not_o our_o full_a charge_n beside_o i_o do_v see_v manifest_o among_o we_o the_o badge_n and_o token_n rather_o of_o scarcenesse_n then_o of_o press_n of_o people_n as_o drown_v ground_n commons_o waste_v and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o howsoever_o there_o may_v be_v a_o overswell_a throng_n and_o press_v of_o people_n here_o about_o london_n which_o be_v most_o in_o our_o eye_n yet_o the_o body_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v but_o thin_a swoon_n with_o people_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v compare_v the_o ruin_n and_o decay_v of_o ancient_a town_n in_o this_o realm_n with_o the_o erectment_n and_o augmentation_n of_o new_a can_v but_o judge_v that_o this_o realm_n have_v be_v far_o better_o people_v in_o former_a time_n it_o may_v be_v in_o the_o heptarchy_n or_o otherwise_o general_o the_o rule_n hold_v the_o small_a the_o state_n the_o great_a the_o population_n pro_fw-la rato_fw-la and_o whether_o this_o be_v true_a or_o no_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v further_o then_o to_o call_v to_o our_o remembrance_n how_o many_o of_o we_o serve_v here_o in_o this_o place_n for_o desolate_a and_o decay_a burrough_n again_o people_n mediterrane_n not_o maritime_a country_n surcharge_v with_o people_n master_n speaker_n whosoever_o look_v into_o the_o principle_n of_o estate_n must_v hold_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mediterrane_n country_n and_o not_o the_o maritime_a which_o need_v to_o fear_v surcharge_n of_o people_n for_o all_o sea_n province_n and_o especial_o island_n have_v a_o other_o element_n beside_o the_o earth_n and_o soil_n for_o their_o sustentation_n what_o a_o infinite_a of_o people_n be_v and_o may_v be_v sustain_v by_o fish_v carriage_n by_o sea_n and_o merchandize_v wherein_o i_o do_v again_o discover_v that_o we_o be_v not_o all_o prick_v by_o the_o multitude_n of_o people_n for_o if_o we_o be_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a we_o shall_v relinquish_v and_o resign_v such_o a_o infinite_a benefit_n of_o fish_v to_o the_o fleming_n as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v we_o do_v and_o therefore_o i_o see_v that_o we_o have_v waste_n by_o sea_n as_o well_o as_o by_o land_n which_o still_o be_v a_o infallible_a argument_n that_o our_o industry_n be_v not_o awake_v to_o seek_v maintenance_n to_o any_o our_o great_a charge_n or_o press_v of_o people_n and_o last_o master_n speaker_n there_o be_v never_o any_o kingdom_n in_o this_o world_n have_v i_o think_v so_o fair_a and_o happy_a mean_n to_o issue_n and_o discharge_v they_o ultitude_n of_o their_o people_n as_o this_o kingdom_n have_v in_o regard_n of_o that_o desolate_a and_o waste_a kingdom_n of_o ireland_n which_o be_v a_o country_n bless_v with_o all_o most_o all_o the_o dowryes_fw-mi of_o nature_n as_o
