money_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o especial_o since_o the_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n will_v only_o bring_v a_o great_a burden_n upon_o the_o public_a now_o what_o i_o will_v propose_v upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n be_v that_o for_o some_o present_a remedy_n of_o so_o great_a a_o mischief_n every_o man_n of_o a_o certain_a estate_n in_o this_o nation_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o take_v a_o proportionable_a number_n of_o those_o vagabond_n and_o either_o employ_v they_o in_o hedge_v and_o ditch_v his_o ground_n or_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o work_n in_o town_n and_o country_n or_o if_o they_o happen_v to_o be_v child_n and_o young_a that_o he_o shall_v educate_v they_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o some_o mechanical_a art_n that_o so_o every_o man_n of_o estate_n may_v have_v a_o little_a manufacture_n at_o home_n which_o may_v maintain_v those_o servant_n and_o bring_v great_a profit_n to_o the_o master_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o ancient_n who_o revenue_n by_o the_o manufacture_n of_o such_o servant_n be_v much_o more_o considerable_a than_o that_o of_o their_o land_n hospital_n and_o almshouse_n ought_v to_o be_v provide_v for_o the_o sick_a lame_a and_o

which_o we_o call_v jocky_n may_v be_v present_v by_o the_o government_n to_o the_o state_n of_o venice_n to_o serve_v in_o their_o galley_n against_o the_o common_a enemy_n of_o christendom_n but_o these_o thing_n when_o once_o resolve_v must_v be_v execute_v with_o great_a address_n diligence_n and_o severity_n for_o that_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v so_o desperate_o wicked_a such_o enemy_n of_o all_o work_n and_o labour_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o more_o amaze_a so_o proud_a in_o esteem_v their_o own_o condition_n above_o that_o which_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o call_v slavery_n that_o

rather_o die_v with_o hunger_n in_o cave_n and_o den_n and_o murder_v their_o young_a child_n than_o appear_v abroad_o to_o have_v they_o and_o themselves_o take_v into_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o service_n and_o the_o highland_n be_v such_o a_o vast_a and_o unsearchable_a retreat_n for_o they_o that_o if_o strict_a and_o severe_a order_n be_v not_o take_v to_o prevent_v it_o upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n these_o vagabond_n will_v only_o rob_v as_o much_o food_n as_o they_o can_v out_o of_o the_o low-countries_n and_o retire_v to_o live_v upon_o it_o in_o those_o mountain_n or_o run_v into_o

be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o the_o government_n will_v think_v sit_v to_o transplant_v that_o handful_n of_o people_n and_o their_o master_n who_o have_v always_o disturb_v our_o peace_n into_o the_o

that_o whatever_o people_n be_v plant_v in_o those_o mountain_n they_o will_v quick_o turn_v as_o savage_a and_o as_o great_a beggar_n as_o the_o present_a inhabitant_n for_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o alps_o be_v great_a more_o desert_n and_o more_o condemn_v to_o snow_n than_o those_o of_o the_o highland_n of_o scotland_n which_o be_v every_o where_o out_o by_o frith_n and_o lake_n the_o

that_o part_n of_o the_o mountain_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o swiss_n they_o knock_v they_o on_o the_o head_n let_v we_o now_o compare_v the_o condition_n of_o our_o present_a vagabond_n with_o that_o of_o servant_n under_o the_o condition_n which_o i_o have_v propose_v and_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o one_o live_v under_o no_o law_n of_o god_n man_n or_o nature_n pollute_v with_o all_o

to_o death_n in_o time_n of_o extraordinary_a want_n the_o other_o though_o sometime_o they_o may_v fall_v under_o a_o severe_a master_n who_o nevertheless_o may_v neither_o kill_v mutilate_v nor_o

have_v this_o advantage_n above_o other_o man_n that_o without_o any_o care_n or_o pain_n take_v by_o they_o these_o necessary_n be_v likewise_o secure_v to_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n they_o be_v

and_o virtuous_a life_n they_o may_v also_o hope_v if_o they_o show_v a_o extraordinary_a affection_n care_n and_o sidelity_n in_o the_o service_n of_o their_o master_n that_o not_o only_o they_o and_o their_o family_n shall_v have_v their_o entire_a freedom_n but_o a_o competency_n to_o live_v and_o perhaps_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o master_n entrust_v to_o their_o care_n now_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v the_o advantage_n to_o the_o nation_n by_o the_o one_o and_o the_o disadvantage_n arise_v from_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v evident_o see_v that_o as_o the_o one_o

which_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o like_a method_n of_o provide_v for_o their_o poor_a this_o proposal_n i_o hope_v may_v be_v a_o remedy_n not_o only_o to_o that_o intolerable_a plague_n of_o idle_a vagabond_n who_o infest_a the_o nation_n but_o by_o provide_v a_o more_o regular_a maintenance_n for_o they_o go_v a_o great_a way_n towards_o the_o present_a relief_n of_o other_o poor_a people_n who_o have_v be_v oppress_v by_o they_o that_o which_o follow_v be_v calculate_v to_o remove_v the_o principal_a and_o original_a cause_n of_o the_o poverty_n which_o all_o the_o commons_o of_o this_o

the_o present_a poverty_n and_o misery_n in_o which_o the_o commonalty_n of_o scotland_n live_v be_v many_o yet_o they_o be_v all_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o our_o own_o bad_a conduct_n and_o
