A50205	Profit, conveniency, and pleasure, to the whole nation being a short rational discourse, lately presented to His Majesty, concerning the high-ways of England : their badness, the causes thereof, the reasons of those causes, the impossibility of ever having them well-mended according to the old way of mending, but may most certainly be done, and for ever so maintained (according to this new way) substantially, and with very much ease : and so that in the very depth of winter there shall not be much dirt, no deep-cart-rutts, or high-ridges, no holes, or vneven places nor so much as a loose stone (the very worst of evils both to man and horse) in any of the horse-tracts, nor shall any person have cause to be once put out of his way in any hundred of miles riding.	Mace, Thomas, d. 1709?	1675 (1675)	Wing M121; ESTC R22537	14,850	35

divine_a art_n very_o short_o to_o come_v forth_o here_o follow_v some_o few_o necessary_a reason_n for_o this_o his_o advertise_v publication_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v in_o that_o he_o conceive_v he_o may_v do_v both_o himself_o a_o conveniency_n by_o it_o and_o many_o worthy_a person_n a_o kindness_n in_o let_v they_o know_v there_o be_v such_o a_o book_n in_o come_v forth_o which_o doubtless_o will_v be_v acceptable_a and_o beneficial_a to_o all_o who_o make_v sing_v of_o psalm_n a_o piece_n of_o their_o divine_a service_n and_o will_v glad_o do_v it_o after_o the_o best_a

the_o second_o reason_n be_v out_o of_o a_o great_a respect_n he_o have_v to_o very_a many_o eminent_a and_o oblige_a worthy_a person_n to_o the_o number_n of_o between_o two_o and_o three_o hundred_o who_o have_v already_o so_o far_o encourage_v towards_o the_o print_n of_o this_o work_n as_o that_o they_o have_v each_o of_o they_o subscribe_v their_o name_n to_o take_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o say_a book_n so_o soon_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v print_v and_o deliver_v unto_o they_o at_o the_o price_n of_o 12_o s._n the_o three_o reason_n now_o upon_o this_o very_o last_o consideration_n he_o begin_v to_o conceive_v both_o what_o a_o vast_a trouble_v it_o will_v be_v for_o himself_o to_o deliver_v those_o book_n to_o each_o particular_a person_n some_o of_o they_o live_v more_o than_o 200_o mile_n asunder_o and_o likewise_o what_o a_o long_a time_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v before_o they_o can_v all_o be_v serve_v with_o the_o say_a book_n after_o it_o be_v print_v therefore_o upon_o these_o two_o consideration_n chief_o it_o be_v that_o he_o thus_o declare_v and_o make_v it_o his_o humble_a and_o earnest_a request_n to_o all_o those_o his_o love_a friend_n and_o honour_a subscriber_n that_o they_o will_v be_v please_v 〈◊〉_d consider_v these_o two_o so_o very_o great_a inconvenience_n and_o also_o add_v so_o much_o favour_n unto_o their_o former_a kindness_n do_v unto_o he_o as_o
