A51694	A good-work for bad times, or, A way to make England rich and happy shewing how the charge of the war if it should continue may be born without any tax or pressure to the subject, and all the poor and idle persons in this nation may be employed or set to work, by which the nation will gain more than double the charge of the war as is herein plainly set forth, and the poor of all sorts that are not able to get their living by their work may be better maintain'd than now they are, without begging, and the children be brought up to work and taught to read, write and cast accompts, and be virtuously educated so as they may be serviceable to the nation : and also money will be made plenty and trade brisk, and some, amongst a great many, of the vast advantages that will accrue to the nation by it are here set forth : most humbly dedicated to the consideration of His Majesty and the Parliament / by G.

of_o the_o poor_a and_o idle_a people_n more_o than_o ten_o time_n so_o much_o clear_o as_o the_o proposer_n doubt_v not_o but_o to_o make_v appear_v plain_o in_o this_o little-book_n for_o if_o his_o
