we_o upon_o import_v corn_n from_o other_o part_n this_o in_o a_o country_n so_o natural_a for_o grain_n and_o that_o lie_v so_o near_a holland_n which_o fetch_v such_o quantity_n from_o abroad_o may_v be_v think_v not_o the_o least_o of_o our_o mistake_n in_o trade_n and_o commerce_n to_o i_o i_o confess_v it_o seem_v a_o great_a neglect_n to_o see_v so_o many_o acre_n set_v for_o five_o or_o ten_o shilling_n a_o acre_n and_o the_o tenant_n scarce_o able_a to_o pay_v that_o which_o under_o corn_n may_v yield_v to_o the_o farmer_n five_o pound_n and_o though_o part_n of_o that_o go_v in_o labour_n yet_o the_o whole_a be_v so_o much_o add_v to_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o will_v be_v the_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v by_o any_o other_o mean_v raise_v in_o the_o kingdom_n now_o that_o what_o i_o here_o propose_v may_v appear_v practicable_a something_o shall_v be_v offer_v that_o i_o conceive_v may_v show_v what_o i_o here_o set_v down_o to_o be_v more_o than_o mere_o notional_a 1._o first_o then_o as_o to_o the_o grain_n which_o be_v most_o in_o demand_n in_o foreign_a market_n and_o they_o be_v rye_n for_o holland_n horse-bean_n for_o bilboa_n and_o barley_n for_o portugal_n i_o mention_v not_o wheat_n because_o that_o we_o have_v most_o of_o but_o the_o other_o three_o be_v least_o propagate_v in_o england_n though_o the_o most_o proper_a for_o exportation_n and_o seem_v possible_a consider_v how_o much_o near_o we_o lie_v to_o a_o market_n than_o dantzick_n to_o be_v export_v from_o england_n as_o cheap_a as_o from_o any_o part_n and_o as_o quantity_n in_o other_o commodity_n enable_v the_o seller_n of_o they_o to_o abate_v in_o price_n of_o what_o they_o can_v when_o they_o be_v scarce_o so_o it_o will_v be_v in_o this_o of_o corn_n when_o a_o farmer_n be_v more_o sure_a of_o a_o market_n for_o twenty_o acre_n of_o corn_n than_o he_o be_v now_o of_o five_o he_o may_v abate_v of_o his_o price_n and_o yet_o be_v a_o great_a gainer_n than_o when_o he_o have_v but_o a_o little_a and_o a_o great_a price_n we_o account_v it_o so_o in_o all_o other_o commodity_n 2._o for_o encouragement_n of_o make_v corn_n a_o export_n it_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o we_o send_v most_o of_o our_o ship_n light_a to_o bilboa_n and_o lisbon_n so_o that_o will_v help_v our_o navigation_n that_o load_v our_o ship_n than_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o our_o export_n to_o lisbon_n do_v not_o answer_v our_o import_v from_o thence_o since_o we_o fetch_v so_o much_o wine_n from_o portugal_n and_o it_o be_v hope_v since_o we_o have_v fall_v into_o it_o we_o shall_v never_o exceed_v in_o french_a wine_n they_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v take_v off_o our_o commodity_n corn_n they_o never_o do_v as_o portugal_n will_n the_o difficulty_n that_o appear_v to_o the_o introduction_n of_o this_o so_o profitable_a a_o disposition_n of_o the_o land_n of_o england_n be_v how_o to_o bring_v the_o nation_n to_o it_o for_o all_o new_a thing_n be_v hardly_o propagate_v three_o thing_n i_o submit_v that_o to_o i_o seem_v of_o strength_n to_o bring_v the_o nation_n into_o it_o and_o they_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o a_o statute_n be_v make_v to_o oblige_v all_o person_n to_o a_o certain_a proportion_n of_o plough_v according_a to_o what_o they_o keep_v in_o graze_v 2._o that_o all_o land_n under_o tillage_n shall_v be_v free_a from_o any_o manner_n of_o tax_n 3._o that_o some_o ease_n may_v be_v give_v as_o to_o the_o tithe_n for_o what_o be_v export_v it_o be_v a_o heavy_a load_n and_o discouragement_n one_o ten_o for_o that_o which_o go_v out_o care_n shall_v be_v take_v to_o make_v what_o go_v out_o as_o cheap_a as_o possible_a that_o so_o no_o other_o country_n may_v undersell_n we_o i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o lessen_v the_o income_n of_o the_o clergy_n to_o the_o contrary_a i_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o partake_v of_o all_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o what_o i_o here_o propose_v will_v be_v for_o their_o advantage_n by_o encourage_v the_o great_a export_n and_o way_n may_v be_v find_v to_o give_v some_o encouragement_n from_o they_o to_o the_o ploughman_n that_o may_v be_v easy_a to_o both_o but_o to_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v for_o encouragement_n of_o tillage_n there_o appear_v a_o seem_a objection_n and_o that_o be_v we_o often_o see_v corn_n so_o cheap_a that_o the_o farmer_n be_v break_v by_o it_o and_o what_o will_v they_o do_v with_o double_a the_o quantity_n as_o it_o be_v hope_v this_o law_n and_o encouragement_n may_v produce_v this_o be_v partly_o answer_v before_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o want_v a_o market_n for_o our_o corn_n be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o always_o store_n and_o so_o merchant_n make_v no_o provision_n for_o the_o trade_n nor_o will_v quit_v a_o place_n where_o they_o be_v sure_a of_o supply_n so_o if_o once_o it_o be_v know_v that_o england_n set_v upon_o the_o trade_n of_o corn_n there_o will_v not_o be_v want_n of_o buyer_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v how_o soon_o the_o plenty_n of_o a_o commodity_n make_v a_o trade_n i_o remember_v when_o we_o import_v quantity_n of_o silk_n stocking_n from_o the_o levant_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v the_o invention_n of_o loom_n the_o stream_n turn_v and_o we_o send_v they_o there_o plenty_n make_v cheapness_n and_o that_o increase_v trade_n but_o there_o be_v another_o answer_n to_o be_v give_v for_o the_o want_n of_o a_o market_n for_o our_o corn_n and_o that_o be_v we_o run_v most_o on_o wheat_n and_o neglect_v those_o sort_n beforementioned_a which_o be_v most_o in_o demand_n abroad_o and_o of_o which_o we_o can_v never_o exceed_v but_o the_o more_o we_o provide_v the_o great_a will_v the_o price_n be_v for_o quantity_n as_o be_v before_o say_v bring_v number_n of_o buyer_n whereas_o where_o there_o be_v not_o store_n of_o a_o commodity_n buyer_n be_v but_o few_o and_o then_o they_o set_v the_o market_n and_o have_v the_o commodity_n at_o their_o own_o rate_n i_o shall_v end_v this_o first_o part_n of_o my_o essay_n as_o i_o begin_v they_o truth_n may_v be_v allow_v repetition_n that_o as_o this_o nation_n never_o more_o want_v thought_n and_o endeavour_n to_o enlarge_v and_o improve_v their_o navigation_n and_o commerce_n than_o now_o

any_o labour_n and_o then_o often_o take_v away_o by_o gentleman_n that_o perhaps_o keep_v they_o to_o wait_v on_o they_o or_o some_o other_o employment_n that_o be_v more_o proper_a for_o one_o that_o have_v be_v by_o misfortune_n fall_v from_o a_o competency_n and_o be_v too_o far_o grow_v to_o beg_v in_o a_o manual_a education_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o think_v there_o shall_v not_o be_v
