A67738 England's improvement by sea and land To out-do the Dutch without fighting, to pay debts without moneys, to set at work all the poor of England with the growth of our own lands. To prevent unnecessary suits in law; with the benefit of a voluntary register. Directions where vast quantities of timber are to be had for the building of ships; with the advantage of making the great rivers of England navigable. Rules to prevent fires in London, and other great cities; with directions how the several companies of handicraftsmen in London may always have cheap bread and drink. By Andrew Yarranton, Gent. Yarranton, Andrew, 1616-1684. 1677 (1677) Wing Y13AA; ESTC R221084 106,511 194

work_n beside_o and_o for_o ten_o year_n there_o will_v be_v more_o law_n than_o ever_o to_o clear_v up_o title_n to_o make_v they_o fit_a to_o come_v into_o this_o voluntary_a register_n the_o
