london_n that_o of_o those_o youth_n who_o be_v daily_o put_v apprentice_n here_o a_o very_a great_a number_n do_v miscarry_v and_o never_o come_v to_o exercise_v the_o trade_n to_o which_o they_o be_v put_v and_o of_o those_o though_o many_o miscarry_v through_o their_o own_o fault_n yet_o that_o very_o many_o do_v miscarry_v either_o through_o the_o carelessness_n and_o negligence_n or_o the_o harshness_n and_o unreasonable_a severity_n or_o which_o too_o often_o happen_v through_o the_o ill_a design_n and_o practice_n of_o their_o master_n this_o be_v so_o common_a and_o notorious_a that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o have_v not_o many_o example_n of_o such_o unhappy_a young_a man_n who_o may_v have_v be_v very_o useful_a in_o their_o generation_n but_o by_o these_o mean_n be_v drive_v either_o into_o ill_a course_n or_o become_v altogether_o useless_a to_o the_o public_a and_o a_o burden_n to_o their_o relation_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o best_a and_o wise_a even_n of_o heathen_a state_n have_v be_v usual_o very_o provident_a for_o the_o education_n of_o their_o youth_n it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o very_a great_a defect_n in_o we_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o sufficient_a remedy_n for_o so_o notorious_a a_o abuse_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v well_o consider_v neither_o be_v our_o legislator_n nor_o our_o law_n already_o constitute_v to_o be_v blame_v in_o this_o respect_n not_o our_o legislator_n for_o abuse_n will_v like_o evil_a weed_n be_v always_o grow_v up_o even_o in_o the_o best_a constitute_v state_n and_o it_o will_v be_v some_o time_n ever_o they_o be_v observe_v and_o it_o will_v again_o after_o they_o be_v observe_v require_v some_o time_n to_o find_v out_o and_o settle_v a_o proper_a remedy_n for_o they_o and_o for_o those_o abuse_n whereof_o i_o speak_v they_o have_v not_o certain_o be_v of_o any_o long_a time_n practise_v or_o however_o not_o so_o notorious_o and_o common_o but_o have_v by_o degree_n grow_v more_o frequent_a and_o notorious_a as_o the_o rate_n which_o man_n have_v give_v with_o apprentice_n have_v be_v raise_v which_o be_v now_o within_o these_o twenty_o year_n last_o pass_v or_o little_o more_o rise_v to_o that_o height_n that_o may_v well_o prove_v a_o temptation_n to_o man_n who_o be_v continual_o employ_v in_o business_n for_o gain_n and_o be_v not_o punctual_o and_o resolute_o honest_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o now_o more_o than_o heretofore_o in_o so_o great_a a_o city_n there_o be_v many_o man_n note_v to_o have_v have_v many_o apprentice_n but_o never_o any_o that_o come_v to_o any_o thing_n in_o their_o trade_n and_o be_v reasonable_o enough_o suspect_v to_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o trade_n of_o it_o to_o take_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n with_o apprentice_n and_o in_o a_o year_n or_o two_o or_o some_o short_a time_n upon_o some_o pretence_n or_o other_o to_o turn_v they_o off_o with_o little_a and_o take_v other_o again_o with_o great_a sum_n in_o their_o place_n and_o that_o divers_a ill_a art_n and_o practice_n have_v be_v observe_v to_o have_v be_v use_v by_o such_o person_n to_o bring_v their_o design_n about_o and_o worse_a to_o put_v some_o colour_n upon_o their_o deal_n when_o they_o have_v be_v question_v for_o the_o same_o for_o credit_n and_o reputation_n be_v of_o so_o great_a importance_n to_o a_o trader_n that_o he_o who_o make_v light_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o man_n be_v not_o likely_a to_o make_v scruple_n of_o the_o use_n of_o any_o mean_n though_o never_o so_o vile_a and_o wicked_a to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v of_o so_o great_a concern_v to_o he_o but_o these_o thing_n i_o be_o inform_v have_v be_v some_o year_n since_o observe_v and_o take_v into_o consideration_n in_o order_n to_o the_o provide_v of_o a_o remedy_n by_o divers_a worthy_a member_n of_o parliament_n though_o nothing_o yet_o by_o reason_n of_o various_a occurrence_n intervening_a have_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o house_n but_o that_o which_o i_o be_o inform_v be_v think_v by_o some_o the_o most_o effectual_a remedy_n be_v by_o a_o short_a act_n of_o parliament_n to_o make_v all_o bond_n void_a which_o shall_v be_v give_v for_o the_o fidelity_n of_o apprentice_n this_o i_o confess_v may_v seem_v a_o effectual_a mean_n to_o make_v the_o master_n more_o careful_a of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o those_o gentleman_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o the_o notoriousness_n of_o the_o abuse_n who_o can_v think_v so_o severe_a a_o remedy_n necessary_a but_o i_o can_v approve_v it_o for_o 1._o i_o think_v it_o not_o so_o effectual_a a_o mean_n for_o the_o end_n intend_v as_o be_v presume_v for_o a_o master_n who_o have_v a_o design_n upon_o his_o apprentice_n may_v notwithstanding_o leave_v he_o liberty_n enough_o to_o do_v those_o thing_n from_o which_o he_o may_v take_v a_o pretence_n to_o turn_v he_o off_o and_o disappoint_v he_o of_o his_o trade_n and_o yet_o be_v a_o sufficient_a gainer_n out_o of_o the_o money_n he_o have_v receive_v 2._o it_o be_v a_o restraint_n of_o a_o reasonable_a and_o necessary_a security_n and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v reasonable_a can_v it_o be_v apply_v only_o to_o ill_a man_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o will_v be_v equal_o inconvenient_a and_o grievous_a to_o the_o most_o innocent_a and_o honest_a master_n as_o to_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o i_o think_v it_o unreasonable_a 3._o it_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o put_v honest_a and_o good_a man_n upon_o almost_o the_o like_a rigour_n and_o severity_n for_o their_o own_o security_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v practise_v by_o ill_a man_n for_o their_o advantage_n 4._o it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v attend_v with_o no_o less_o inconvenience_n to_o the_o public_a than_o that_o which_o be_v design_v to_o be_v remedy_v by_o it_o for_o the_o consequence_n will_v be_v that_o neither_o will_v master_n know_v how_o to_o take_v apprentice_n nor_o will_v other_o be_v able_a to_o get_v place_n and_o employment_n for_o their_o child_n without_o great_a difficulty_n and_o trouble_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o i_o think_v it_o needless_a for_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n that_o in_o this_o as_o in_o divers_a other_o case_n our_o law_n be_v not_o so_o defective_a as_o some_o man_n other_o wise_a of_o wit_n and_o part_n enough_o but_o not_o sufficient_o acquaint_v with_o they_o do_v imagine_v
