as_o i_o say_v plant_v in_o the_o hedg-row_n need_v not_o take_v up_o a_o acre_n of_o land_n for_o 40_o million_o of_o tree_n and_o if_o the_o tree_n come_v to_o bear_v will_v preserve_v our_o corn_n

when_o they_o have_v do_v bear_v fruit_n five_o time_n the_o charge_n of_o plant_v and_o as_o i_o say_v we_o need_v not_o lose_v a_o acre_n of_o land_n and_o if_o any_o will_v propose_v the_o plant_v of_o oak_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n one_o in_o every_o 30_o foot_n of_o hedge-row_n acorn_n be_v cheap_a enough_o and_o if_o every_o twenty_o foot_n have_v a_o appletree_n and_o every_o twenty_o

how_o dreaful_a will_v that_o be_v and_o indeed_o i_o think_v the_o seman_n family_n be_v many_o time_n as_o dreadful_a object_n of_o misery_n as_o most_o in_o england_n i_o be_v a_o go_v to_o write_v

god_n shall_v say_v to_o england_n as_o he_o do_v to_o israel_n that_o he_o will_v be_v as_o a_o lion_n to_o we_o to_o tear_v and_o rend_v we_o and_o go_v from_o we_o that_o will_v be_v dreadful_a

which_o god_n angel_n and_o man_n know_v be_v a_o dreadful_a sin_n and_o shame_n and_o plague_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v this_o help_v the_o poor_a miserable_a wretch_n to_o wait_v 150_o or_o 200_o on_o a_o day_n sometime_o at_o the_o admiralty_n for_o relief_n but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v think_v i_o say_v too_o much_o of_o it_o but_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v i_o may_v say_v if_o god_n do_v not_o avenge_v this_o by_o some_o judgement_n on_o the_o actor_n on_o this_o nation_n that_o god_n have_v not_o speak_v by_o i_o but_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o proposal_n of_o severe_a law_n against_o the_o debauchery_n of_o the_o age_n the_o last_o age_n do_v use_v imprisonment_n and_o banishment_n for_o the_o punish_n of_o the_o

debauch_v and_o ruine_v the_o youth_n of_o the_o nation_n it_o will_v be_v to_o be_v admire_v at_o see_v that_o indeed_o if_o debauchery_n and_o lewdness_n be_v not_o punish_v and_o prevent_v but_o that_o it_o increase_v as_o much_o more_o in_o the_o next_o age_n as_o it_o do_v the_o last_o the_o nation_n will_v be_v a_o very_a pest-house_n of_o the_o plague_n sore_n of_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v the_o sound_n will_v have_v much_o to_o do_v to_o support_v themselves_o and_o family_n against_o cheat_n and_o villainy_n and_o curse_a wretch_n who_o be_v likely_a to_o poison_v their_o child_n servant_n friend_n or_o relation_n that_o we_o be_v like_a to_o be_v as_o israel_n of_o old_a before_o their_o destruction_n who_o the_o prophet_n say_v be_v full_a of_o wound_n and_o

a_o honest_a country_n parson_n that_o be_v preach_v to_o a_o corporation_n in_o the_o country_n on_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o mayor_n and_o he_o say_v magistrate_n be_v call_v go_n now_o say_v he_o as_o they_o be_v call_v god_n you_o shall_v take_v care_n you_o do_v not_o choose_v a_o drunken_a god_n or_o a_o whore_v unclean_a god_n now_o he_o may_v have_v take_v the_o cemmon-prayer_n book_n

come_v to_o that_o again_o i_o will_v humble_o beg_v that_o the_o ship_n for_o time_n to_o come_v may_v be_v pay_v in_o london_n where_o the_o poor_a seaman_n have_v be_v force_v to_o be_v assist_v and_o support_v all_o this_o war_n when_o they_o have_v no_o money_n nor_o clothes_n to_o fit_v they_o for_o the_o sea_n or_o when_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o thousand_o of_o they_o be_v take_v captive_n into_o france_n then_o they_o come_v to_o the_o city_n of_o london_n for_o supply_v and_o as_o the_o city_n have_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o assist_v the_o government_n with_o money_n and_o the_o seaman_n with_o necessary_n and_o their_o perish_a family_n with_o bread_n for_o several_a year_n while_o they_o earn_v their_o money_n and_o be_v not_o pay_v and_o that_o now_o therefore_o they_o may_v be_v pay_v in_o london_n where_o they_o may_v buy_v their_o thing_n at_o the_o best_a hand_n and_o have_v opportunity_n to_o return_v their_o money_n to_o any_o part_n of_o england_n to_o
