carry_v their_o shop_n at_o their_o back_n and_o do_v sell_v more_o that_o way_n than_o many_o shopkeeper_n do_v in_o their_o shop_n which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o prejudice_n unto_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v suffer_v will_n in_o time_n be_v the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o all_o the_o city_n and_o market_n town_n in_o england_n for_o of_o late_a there_o be_v not_o any_o commodity_n to_o be_v name_v and_o that_o can_v be_v any_o way_n port_a but_o that_o the_o pedlar_n do_v carry_v all_o about_o the_o country_n to_o sell_v that_o people_n after_o awhile_o will_v have_v little_a or_o no_o occasion_n to_o come_v to_o the_o city_n or_o market_n town_n for_o any_o thing_n this_o also_o be_v not_o wont_a to_o be_v former_o and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v now_o as_o will_v appear_v if_o it_o be_v consider_v how_o much_o in_o these_o follow_a particular_n the_o shopkeeper_n be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o in_o how_o few_o of_o these_o the_o pedlar_n be_v beneficial_a unto_o the_o same_o 1._o the_o shop_n keeper_n do_v bear_v a_o very_a great_a proportion_n in_o all_o the_o tax_n of_o this_o kingdom_n whether_o parochial_a or_o national_a but_o the_o pedlar_n do_v pay_v but_o little_a or_o no_o tax_n at_o all_o and_o if_o in_o tax_n they_o be_v to_o bear_v no_o more_o proportion_n than_o the_o pedlar_n it_o may_v be_v quaery_v whether_o for_o no_o tax_n may_v be_v so_o easy_o gather_v 2._o the_o shopkeeper_n do_v bear_v likewise_o all_o manner_n of_o office_n whether_o parochial_a or_o national_a which_o be_v very_o expensive_a unto_o they_o but_o pedlar_n bear_v no_o office_n at_o all_o 3._o the_o shopkeeper_n do_v pay_v great_a rent_n for_o the_o house_n that_o they_o live_v in_o which_o be_v more_o certain_a rent_n to_o the_o gentry_n than_o their_o land_n but_o the_o pedlar_n pay_v little_a or_o no_o rent_n at_o all_o for_o most_o of_o they_o do_v lie_v in_o barn_n and_o if_o the_o rent_n shall_v fall_v in_o city_n and_o market_n town_n in_o england_n as_o they_o do_v in_o most_o place_n especial_o in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n they_o be_v never_o like_a to_o be_v raise_v again_o by_o pedlar_n 4._o the_o

which_o they_o do_v always_o pay_v ready_a money_n but_o the_o pedlar_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n in_o this_o particular_a that_o they_o be_v burdensome_a unto_o the_o same_o for_o they_o beg_v the_o most_o part_n of_o their_o victual_n and_o the_o country_n people_n when_o the_o man_n be_v in_o the_o field_n and_o there_o have_v be_v none_o at_o home_n but_o woman_n and_o child_n have_v be_v force_v to_o relieve_v they_o for_o fear_n of_o be_v mischieve_v by_o they_o 5._o they_o and_o their_o family_n do_v wear_v out_o abundance_n of_o clothes_n which_o do_v promote_v the_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o it_o be_v very_o little_o advance_v of_o any_o trade_n that_o the_o pedlar_n do_v make_v herein_o for_o their_o clothes_n do_v differ_v little_a from_o beggar_n and_o do_v they_o wear_v better_o yet_o they_o can_v not_o wear_v out_o much_o because_o few_o of_o they_o have_v family_n to_o do_v it_o 6._o the_o shopkeeper_n trade_n be_v esteem_v creditable_a enough_o for_o the_o preferment_n of_o the_o best_a man_n son_n in_o the_o kingdom_n next_o unto_o the_o nobility_n but_o so_o be_v not_o the_o pedlar_n trade_n for_o sure_o sufficientman_n will_v disdain_v to_o have_v their_o son_n pedlar_n and_o to_o wander_v about_o the_o country_n like_o vagabond_n rogue_n as_o they_o do_v 7._o the_o shopkeeper_n be_v sufficient_a

their_o trade_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o fix_a habitation_n do_v make_v they_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a and_o just_a in_o their_o deal_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v rational_o
