A59752	A discourse of the rise & power of parliaments, of law's, of courts of judicature, of liberty, property, and religion, of the interest of England in reference to the desines of France, of taxes and of trade in a letter from a gentleman in the country to a member in Parliament.	Sheridan, Thomas, 1646-ca. 1688.	1677 (1677)	Wing S3225; ESTC R16270	94,234	304

Labor and Thrist are increas'd and that the making Idlers work is in effect an increasing the People And that all such shoud be forc'd into several Work-houses which tho the Parliament has taken into consideration yet for want of Stock is not hitherto put in any forwardness I wil now give you my Thoughts how this may probably be brought about with little or no Charge but to such only as upon prospect of Advantage do change the Scenes of their Lives as by Marriage Imployments Callings c. or by assuming new Titles and Degrees of Honor and consequently as their respective Proportions or Payments are here propos'd they cannot account them burdensom or grievous To perfect this I think it necessary That all Hospitals Alms-houses and Lands for charitable uses be sold more stately and convenient Ones erected into which none but diseased Persons or others perfectly unable to Earn their Living shoud be receiv'd And to the end they might the sooner be Restor'd to Health a convenient number of Physitians Nurses and Tenders ought to be appointed and sufficient Salaries establish'd England to Her great shame is in this Instance much behind Her Neighbors of France and Holland in the Practice of which I know not whether there be more of Charity or of Policy of Heavenly or of Earthly Interest That the several Directions of the Act for raising a Stock be strictly put in Execution That all Fines for Swearing Drunkenness Breaches of the Peace Felons Goods Deodands c. for a certain number of Years be converted to this Use This woud bring in twenty times more than is now receiv'd on these Accounts and may perhaps prevent the late much practis'd trick of finding all Felo's de se mad That all Contributions for maintenance of the Poor which are so considerable that I have bin told in som single Parishes in London they amount communibus annis to Five thousand Pound a Year be added to this Stock And that it be further enacted That every Man at his Admission to Freedom pay one Shilling upon Marriage what he thinks fit above one Shilling Every Clergy-man at Ordination ten Shillings at Instalment into any Dignity twenty Shillings Arch-Deacons three Pound Deans five Pound Bishops ten Pound Arch-Bishops twenty Pound Gentlemen upon Admittance into the Inns of Court ten Shillings upon their being call'd to the Bar forty Shillings when made Serjeants or King's Council five Pound Every Man upon Admission into the Inns of Chancery three Shillings four Pence when Sworn Attorney ten Shillings Lord High Chancellor Keeper Lord High Treasurer and Lord Privy Seal twenty Pound Chief Iustice Chief Baron Chancellor of the Exchequer Master of the Rolls and Atturney General twelve Pound a piece Every of the other Iudges and Barons the Sollicitor-General and the Six Clerks ten Pound a piece The Masters of Chancery and other Officers not nam'd in that or other Courts any Sum not exceeding six Pound a Man as shal be thought convenient by the respective Iudges All Knights five Pound Baronets ten Pound Barons Vice Counts Earls twenty Pound Dukes and Marquesses fifty Pound All Aldermen of London twenty Pound of other Cities and Corporations three Pound Mayors ten Pound All Masters of Arts in Universities twenty Shillings Doctors of Law and Physic forty Shillings of Divinity four Pound Heads and Masters of Colleges five Pound All Executors and Administrators that undertake the Charge two Shillings All Persons entring into Estates either by Descent or Purchase one Shilling over and above one Shilling for every hundred Pounds per annum of such Estate That every Sunday there be Collections in all Churches of the Kingdom which with what shal be receiv'd at the Communion are to be thus appropriated And that all Street Door and other Charitable Doles in broken Meat or Mony as the great Encouragements and chief occasions of Idleness and Vice be forbid under severe Penalties That Briefs be issued thro the Kingdom for voluntary Contributions That the Names of such as shal be eminently Bountiful be convey'd to Posterity by placeing their Coats of Arms and registring their Munificence in the respective Work-houses of the City Corporation or County where they live I do not doubt but in a very short time a Stock woud be thus rais'd sufficient to imploy all the idle Hands in England And tho I believe that after a little while there woud be no need of using Art or Severity in bringing People into these Nurseries of Labor and Industry The Sweets of gain and trouble of Idleness which certainly is not the least of toyls to such as have bin inur'd to Labor or Business being of themselves strong Allurements yet to lay the first Foundation with success I conceive it necessary That both Men and Women who have no visible ways of Maintenance Criminals of what Quality soever punish'd as before in the Discourse of Laws the Children taken out of the Foundlings Hospital as soon as able to do any thing be all sent to these Work-houses That the great numbers of People going out of this Kingdom Scotland and Ireland to other Parts of Europe be restrain'd and none be spirited into the West-Indies or suffer'd to go abroad unless to trade That such as by Infirmity or Age are absolutely disabled among which neither the Lame nor the Blind are to be reckon'd be maintain'd and confin'd within the public Hospitals That every Constable in whose ward or Precinct any Beggar is found forfeit twenty Pound and the Person or Persons entertaining or lodging any five Pound to the Use of the Work House That those who are commonly sent to the House of Correction or Bridewel and those found Guilty of Petty Larceny be sent to the Work-House For that indeed Whipping the Punishment intended for their Amendment does but take away the sense of Shame and Honor rendring them Impudent and Incorrigible in their Iniquities But granting its operation so forcible as to be able to reclaim them yet certain it is that its best effect is but to hinder them from doing further Mischief whereas by this Course not only that will be avoided but a considerable profit redound to the Public To these also shoud be added all Prisoners for Criminal matters tho acquitted if by Circumstances they appear suspicious it being reasonable to conclude som Rogues and Vagabonds tho the evidence required by strictness of Law be not strong enuf to Convict them Hither likewise are all to be sent who for trivial inconsiderable causes and somtimes out of pure Malice are thrown into Prisons and there forc'd to spend the remainder of their miserable Lives the exorbitant extortion of Fees and the merciless rage of their Enemies swelling their Debts beyond the power or hopes of Satisfaction whereby they becom not only useless but a burden to the Common-wealth And because the Benefit of Clergy was introduc'd for the advancement of Learning in the ruder dayes of our Ancestors and that there is now no such
