very_o idle_o have_v little_a to_o do_v but_o to_o look_v after_o a_o few_o sheep_n scatter_v on_o the_o common_a the_o great_a objection_n against_o the_o enclose_v of_o such_o commons_o as_o be_v

poor_a man_n not_o able_a to_o stock_n may_v rend_v out_o his_o ground_n the_o rich_a man_n may_v so_o order_v it_o that_o he_o may_v feed_v therein_o what_o cattle_n it_o be_v most_o agreeable_a unto_o and_o then_o at_o all_o time_n he_o know_v where_o to_o look_v for_o his_o cattle_n but_o in_o common_a he_o must_v oftentimes_o look_v for_o they_o two_o or_o three_o mile_n and_o sometime_o more_o there_o be_v neither_o gate_n nor_o hedge_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o stray_v and_o this_o give_v great_a encouragement_n to_o a_o thievish_a heart_n to_o fall_v to_o steal_v which_o

to_o this_o disposition_n we_o have_v have_v but_o little_a timber_n to_o build_v ship_n with_o at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o indian_n in_o china_n that_o the_o great_a grandfather_n

part_n to_o dainty_a grove_n and_o pleasant_a wood_n and_o to_o see_v the_o man_n that_o live_v very_o poor_a and_o his_o many_o child_n wander_v from_o door_n to_o door_n beg_v their_o bread_n now_o

judgement_n can_v reach_v to_o say_v that_o enclosure_n here_o will_v be_v of_o singular_a advantage_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o you_o will_v have_v ask_v the_o countryman_n that_o live_v near_o those_o forest_n and_o have_v right_o of_o common_a therein_o when_o his_o honest_a and_o painful_a labour_n have_v raise_v his_o hope_n to_o a_o crop_n of_o good_a corn_n but_o thirty_o year_n ago_o whether_o he_o will_v have_v be_v willing_a to_o have_v the_o forest_n enclose_v he_o will_v have_v say_v yea_o with_o all_o his_o heart_n if_o you_o have_v ask_v he_o whether_o it_o will_v have_v be_v good_a for_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o general_n he_o will_v then_o have_v say_v yes_o sure_a and_o will_v have_v give_v you_o many_o reason_n for_o it_o one_o reason_n will_v have_v be_v we_o now_o lie_v under_o forest-law_n which_o be_v make_v chief_o for_o the_o preserve_n of_o deer_n which_o be_v very_o prejudicial_a not_o only_o to_o we_o here_o live_v in_o particular_a but_o to_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o general_n as_o for_o our_o own_o enclosure_n we_o can_v make_v the_o best_a advantage_n of_o they_o we_o dare_v not_o for_o if_o we_o do_v what_o with_o hunt_v and_o the_o

of_o and_o our_o punishment_n will_v be_v great_a than_o the_o loss_n of_o all_o our_o corn_n another_o reason_n will_v be_v that_o in_o many_o forest_n sheep_n be_v no_o commonable_a cattle_n and_o sure_o this_o be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o wool_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a riches_n in_o england_n and_o have_v we_o that_o benefit_n of_o keep_v sheep_n than_o

will_v be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n for_o then_o there_o may_v be_v care_n take_v that_o the_o forest_n of_o dean_n so_o famous_a for_o ship-timber_n not_o to_o be_v

that_o those_o good_a commonwealthsman_n that_o have_v their_o eye_n upon_o it_o will_v say_v and_o do_v believe_v that_o be_v the_o commons_o enclose_v there_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o
