Wherein the advantage of the poor, the common plenty of all, and the increase and preservation of timber, with other things of common concernment, are considered. / By S.T.	S. T.

that_o there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o house_n in_o which_o ale_n and_o beer_n be_v sell_v within_o this_o nation_n i_o thus_o compute_v it_o the_o city_n in_o england_n
