child_n first_o as_o they_o say_v which_o also_o be_v most_o lawful_a and_o appoint_v that_o the_o ox_n that_o tread_v out_o the_o fodder_n shall_v not_o be_v muzzle_v which_o of_o all_o those_o

inconsiderate_a person_n and_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o hold_v forth_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o screw_v the_o most_o profound_a mystery_n of_o good_a husbandry_n a_o note_n or_o two_o high_a but_o to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o a_o better_a way_n and_o to_o more_o advantage_n to_o the_o the_o three_o and_o last_o before_o i_o answer_v i_o will_v so_o far_o digress_v as_o to_o inquire_v what_o be_v or_o can_v be_v here_o mean_v by_o security_n if_o it_o be_v require_v in_o the_o most_o high_a and_o strict_a sense_n it_o be_v vain_a and_o impossible_a to_o be_v have_v in_o human_a affair_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v or_o hope_v for_o in_o this_o world_n where_o the_o moth_n and_o rust_n do_v corrupt_a and_o where_o thief_n break_v through_o and_o steal_v this_o be_v only_o to_o be_v have_v in_o heaven_n and_o can_v be_v no_o way_n procure_v on_o earth_n but_o by_o lay_v up_o the_o treasure_n of_o good_a work_n therefore_o he_o that_o will_v put_v forth_o his_o money_n upon_o good_a security_n indeed_o must_v vent_v it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o charity_n and_o piety_n as_o relate_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o soul_n eternal_a happiness_n at_o least_o in_o a_o way_n of_o bounty_n and_o nobleness_n for_o the_o public_a good_a of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o native_a country_n as_o relate_v to_o his_o good_a fame_n after_o death_n but_o if_o by_o security_n be_v mean_v something_o more_o moderate_a and_o ingenuous_a only_o a_o providential_a care_n to_o defend_v a_o man_n self_n from_o be_v abuse_v so_o far_o as_o such_o prosecution_n be_v just_a and_o agreeable_a to_o good_a reason_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n i_o allow_v and_o approve_v of_o it_o altogether_o but_o not_o when_o it_o rather_o proceed_v from_o frowardness_n base_a and_o groundless_a suspicion_n and_o a_o natural_a averseness_n and_o enmity_n to_o all_o good_a thus_o when_o a_o man_n lend_v to_o another_o political_o as_o a_o mere_a man_n he_o require_v bill_n bond_n mortgage_n or_o the_o like_a but_o if_o he_o give_v he_o do_v not_o so_o neither_o if_o he_o lend_v to_o the_o poor_a or_o to_o person_n so_o just_a that_o he_o esteem_v their_o word_n sufficient_a i_o suppose_v there_o be_v very_o many_o in_o london_n that_o do_v frequent_o take_v up_o great_a sum_n without_o give_v any_o formal_a security_n nay_o that_o will_v take_v it_o for_o a_o great_a afront_o to_o have_v such_o a_o thing_n require_v of_o they_o and_o yet_o sure_o it_o be_v no_o absolute_a miracle_n to_o see_v such_o a_o one_o break_v why_o then_o be_v man_n so_o easy_a in_o that_o and_o so_o difficult_a in_o this_o or_o be_v it_o for_o the_o mutual_a advance_n of_o trade_n why_o that_o very_a argument_n serve_v here_o too_o unless_o they_o be_v resolve_v to_o advance_v no_o trade_n but_o their_o own_o and_o even_o that_o also_o come_v in_o here_o for_o what_o trade_n can_v more_o advance_v the_o engager_n private_a then_o that_o which_o be_v faithful_o drive_v on_o for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n or_o what_o can_v more_o magnify_v a_o great_a and_o populous_a city_n then_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o

by_o this_o mean_n by_o god_n blessing_n give_v unto_o and_o upon_o this_o mean_n be_v continual_o increase_v again_o it_o be_v rational_a when_o man_n lend_v money_n for_o little_a or_o no_o advantage_n to_o themselves_o but_o only_o to_o do_v their_o friend_n a_o courtesy_n it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o they_o shall_v by_o all_o good_a mean_n secure_v the_o repayment_n of_o their_o principal_n but_o when_o man_n put_v forth_o their_o money_n in_o hope_n of_o great_a advantage_n they_o must_v and_o do_v usual_o forbear_v to_o stand_v upon_o such_o precise_a security_n right_o consider_v that_o god_n providence_n be_v as_o the_o best_a inheritance_n so_o also_o the_o best_a security_n that_o can_v be_v name_v and_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o return_v with_o a_o blessing_n any_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v thereto_o entrust_v faithful_o thus_o what_o other_o security_n more_o than_o rational_a probability_n have_v the_o soldier_n that_o venture_v his_o life_n limb_n liberty_n and_o all_o and_o this_o without_o any_o other_o security_n than_o a_o good_a conscience_n or_o a_o good_a confidence_n at_o least_o in_o life_n or_o death_n rest_v in_o that_o success_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n shall_v please_v to_o appoint_v thus_o the_o merchant_n put_v if_o not_o always_o himself_o yet_o his_o estate_n into_o a_o weak_a wooden_a vessel_n and_o commit_v it_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o wave_n have_v set_v up_o his_o rest_n in_o the_o goodness_n of_o that_o god_n that_o part_v the_o red-sea_n by_o his_o power_n thus_o the_o mineralist_n lay_v

that_o be_v seasonable_o to_o these_o i_o answer_v thus_o first_o upon_o most_o assure_v and_o general_o experiment_a ground_n i_o affirm_v that_o one_o acre_n of_o good_a ground_n to_o be_v sow_v

the_o dung_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o land_n thus_o the_o charge_n of_o sow_v one_o acre_n of_o wheat_n amount_v to_o 2._o pound_n 19_o s._n 10._o d._n and_o for_o the_o return_n of_o this_o it_o be_v not_o unusual_a to_o have_v 3.4_o or_o 5._o quarter_n but_o take_v it_o at_o the_o lesser_a and_o more_o general_o certain_a rate_n of_o three_o quarter_n on_o a_o acre_n and_o value_n that_o at_o the_o more_o constant_a and_o lesser_a price_n of_o 5_o s._n a_o bushel_n or_o 40._o s._n a_o quarter_n yet_o the_o return_n amount_v to_o 6._o pound_n which_o be_v double_a to_o the_o charge_n
