A43803	England's weal & prosperity proposed: or, Reasons for erecting publick vvork-houses in every county, for the speedy promoting of industry and the woollen manufactory, shewing how the wealth of the nation may be encreased, many hundred thousand pounds per annum. And also that many thousand persons may be so reformed, to their own and the whole kingdoms present and future wealth and glory, that there may no more be a begger bred up in the nation. Humbly offered to the consideration of the great wisdom of the nation, and presented to the honourable House of Commons. By R. Haines. To which is added A model of government for such works houses prepared by the same author, and printed in the year (79) intended to have been presented to the last Parliament. Pursuant to a breviate of proposals for the promoting of industry, and speedy restoring the woollen manufactory, by him formerly published.	Haines, Richard, 1633-1685.	1680 (1680)	Wing H200A; ESTC R218612	14,626	26
