in_o graze_v 2._o that_o all_o land_n under_o tillage_n shall_v be_v free_a from_o any_o manner_n of_o tax_n 3._o that_o some_o ease_n may_v be_v give_v as_o to_o the_o tithe_n for_o what_o be_v

so_o no_o other_o country_n may_v undersell_n we_o i_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o lessen_v the_o income_n of_o the_o clergy_n to_o the_o contrary_a i_o think_v they_o ought_v to_o partake_v of_o all_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o what_o i_o here_o propose_v will_v be_v for_o their_o advantage_n by_o encourage_v the_o great_a export_n and_o way_n may_v be_v find_v to_o give_v some_o encouragement_n from_o they_o to_o the_o ploughman_n that_o may_v be_v easy_a to_o both_o but_o to_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v for_o encouragement_n of_o tillage_n there_o appear_v a_o seem_a objection_n and_o that_o be_v we_o often_o see_v corn_n so_o cheap_a that_o the_o farmer_n be_v break_v by_o it_o and_o what_o will_v they_o do_v with_o double_a the_o quantity_n as_o it_o be_v hope_v this_o law_n and_o encouragement_n may_v produce_v this_o be_v partly_o answer_v before_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o want_v a_o market_n for_o our_o corn_n be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o always_o store_n and_o so_o merchant_n make_v no_o provision_n for_o the_o trade_n nor_o will_v quit_v a_o place_n where_o they_o be_v sure_a of_o supply_n so_o if_o once_o it_o be_v know_v that_o england_n set_v upon_o the_o trade_n of_o corn_n there_o will_v not_o be_v want_n of_o buyer_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v how_o soon_o the_o plenty_n of_o a_o commodity_n make_v a_o trade_n i_o remember_v when_o we_o import_v quantity_n of_o silk_n stocking_n from_o the_o levant_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o have_v the_o invention_n of_o loom_n the_o stream_n turn_v and_o we_o send_v they_o there_o plenty_n make_v cheapness_n and_o that_o increase_v trade_n but_o there_o be_v another_o answer_n to_o be_v give_v for_o the_o want_n of_o a_o market_n for_o our_o corn_n and_o that_o be_v we_o run_v most_o on_o wheat_n and_o neglect_v those_o sort_n beforementioned_a which_o be_v most_o in_o demand_n abroad_o and_o of_o which_o we_o can_v never_o exceed_v but_o the_o more_o we_o provide_v the_o great_a will_v the_o price_n be_v for_o quantity_n as_o be_v before_o say_v bring_v number_n of_o buyer_n whereas_o where_o there_o be_v not_o store_n of_o a_o commodity_n buyer_n be_v but_o few_o and_o then_o they_o set_v the_o market_n and_o have_v the_o commodity_n at_o their_o own_o rate_n i_o shall_v end_v this_o first_o part_n of_o my_o essay_n as_o i_o begin_v they_o

of_o the_o nation_n now_o that_o which_o to_o i_o seem_v the_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o prohibit_v a_o commodity_n that_o the_o nation_n find_v so_o injurious_a as_o to_o make_v a_o law_n

that_o part_n of_o our_o navigation_n which_o employ_v most_o of_o our_o seaman_n so_o it_o appear_v if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o account_n that_o be_v take_v of_o all_o the_o seaman_n and_o ship_n in_o england_n in_o the_o year_n 1615_o the_o navigation_n of_o europe_n be_v not_o then_o one_o three_o of_o what_o it_o be_v now_o the_o number_n of_o seaman_n then_o take_v that_o be_v employ_v

decline_v the_o most_o laborious_a part_n of_o our_o navigation_n since_o near_o one_o half_a of_o the_o employment_n of_o our_o seaman_n in_o that_o age_n be_v in_o those_o trade_n and_o navigation_n which_o we_o have_v now_o in_o a_o manner_n lose_v as_o that_o of_o the_o newfoundland_n greenland_n muscovy_n and_o the_o sound_n this_o show_v the_o want_n of_o a_o council_n of_o trade_n not_o

that_o be_v one_o cause_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o newfoundland_n fish_v and_o northern_a trade_n they_o be_v laborious_a and_o of_o small_a gain_n and_o therefore_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o find_v

nothing_o on_o shore_n long_o than_o we_o command_v the_o sea_n and_o our_o neglect_n and_o loss_n of_o the_o rough_a part_n of_o the_o navigation_n in_o the_o fish_n and_o northern_a trade_n abate_v near_o one_o half_a of_o the_o seaman_n that_o may_v be_v employ_v in_o these_o kingdom_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o government_n can_v retrieve_v this_o loss_n by_o encourage_v the_o poor_a part_n of_o navigation_n though_o most_o considerable_a as_o to_o increase_v of_o seaman_n which_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o this_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o such_o

say_v something_o apart_o and_o therefore_o now_o return_v to_o that_o of_o our_o navigation_n
it_o be_v true_a we_o can_v expect_v man_n to_o come_v in_o voluntary_a for_o the_o king_n pay_n whilst_o the_o scarcity_n of_o seaman_n oblige_v merchant_n to_o give_v double_a the_o wage_n of_o the_o king_n pay_n but_o if_o we_o have_v double_a the_o seaman_n that_o will_v abate_v and_o the_o way_n to_o have_v they_o i_o conceive_v be_v to_o put_v in_o practice_n something_o like_o that_o propose_v three_o year_n since_o which_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v public_o assurance_n give_v that_o whoever_o enter_v himself_o into_o sea-service_n that_o be_v never_o at_o sea_n before_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o press_n for_o three_o year_n by_o which_o mean_v there_o will_v be_v number_n of_o lusty_a young_a man_n that_o want_v employment_n enter_v themselves_o in_o merchantman_n and_o bind_v themselves_o to_o master_n of_o ship_n who_o will_v soon_o make_v they_o foremast-man_n for_o their_o own_o profit_n and_o more_o will_v come_v in_o time_n of_o war_n when_o they_o want_v work_n at_o many_o trade_n than_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n it_o be_v great_a encouragement_n for_o they_o to_o be_v secure_a from_o press_n for_o three_o year_n in_o which_o time_n they_o may_v hope_v for_o a_o peace_n nor_o will_v this_o obstruct_v manning_n the_o fleet_n for_o that_o it_o exempt_v none_o that_o be_v now_o seaman_n nor_o will_v be_v if_o this_o encouragement_n make_v they_o not_o so_o and_o this_o bring_n in_o new_a man_n will_v daily_o add_v to_o the_o fleet_n for_o that_o as_o new_a man_n increase_v those_o that_o be_v seaman_n before_o employ_v in_o merchantman_n may_v be_v

provide_v for_o trade_n against_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o well_o as_o now_o for_o the_o navy_n in_o time_n of_o war_n and_o in_o my_o humble_a opinion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o encouragement_n so_o effectual_a to_o make_v seaman_n as_o exemption_n from_o man_n of_o war_n for_o some_o time_n invention_n to_o find_v out_o conceal_v seaman_n seem_v to_o i_o a_o antidote_n against_o make_v new_a

subject_a do_v with_o navigation_n and_o seaman_n i_o come_v to_o that_o of_o building_n ship_n and_o some_o think_v we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o want_v they_o for_o merchantman_n for_o the_o fleet_n none_o doubt_v but_o to_o a_o extremity_n we_o do_v and_o that_o lie_v before_o those_o who_o can_v only_o supply_v it_o but_o that_o we_o want_v merchant_n ship_n sufficient_a for_o our_o trade_n i_o

more_o than_o now_o which_o may_v be_v answer_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o ship_n this_o war_n but_o that_o seem_v not_o sufficient_a there_o be_v allowance_n for_o all_o and_o yet_o too_o plain_a that_o we_o want_v not_o ship_n for_o the_o trade_n of_o england_n if_o we_o have_v a_o peace_n to_o morrow_n which_o be_v a_o misfortune_n that_o the_o nation_n have_v not_o so_o much_o trade_n

long_o the_o other_o be_v that_o timber_n from_o norway_n be_v not_o to_o be_v purchase_v by_o we_o at_o such_o easy_a rate_n as_o the_o dutch_a have_v and_o consequent_o can_v build_v so_o cheap_a as_o they_o do_v now_o though_o there_o be_v truth_n in_o both_o these_o objection_n yet_o be_v raise_v on_o another_o occasion_n that_o of_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n yet_o i_o see_v no_o great_a

understanding_n the_o reason_n they_o give_v turn_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v there_o nothing_o more_o but_o what_o they_o offer_v against_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n in_o that_o point_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o good_a of_o that_o act_n but_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v speak_v apart_o and_o return_v to_o the_o building_n of_o ship_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o great_a consequence_n to_o a_o people_n that_o live_v by_o trade_n than_o to_o be_v maker_n of_o their_o own_o tool_n by_o which_o they_o work_v none_o will_v deny_v now_o ship_n be_v the_o tool_n and_o

as_o they_o please_v that_o shall_v be_v equal_a to_o a_o tax_n on_o our_o trade_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o conceive_v it_o worth_a a_o consideration_n how_o to_o find_v out_o a_o expedient_a and_o that_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n i_o shall_v propose_v be_v either_o or_o both_o of_o these_o way_n 1._o that_o the_o act_n of_o navagation_n for_o that_o part_n of_o it_o relate_v

be_v how_o our_o plantation_n stand_v as_o to_o the_o natural_a product_n of_o these_o commodity_n and_o how_o provide_v with_o hand_n to_o manufacture_n they_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o can_v say_v something_o upon_o my_o own_o observation_n in_o america_n that_o new_a england_n be_v superior_a to_o any_o of_o the_o northern_a crown_n for_o timber_n and_o mast_n pine_n and_o fir_n to_o make_v

and_o tarr_n for_o soil_n to_o raise_v hemp_n and_o well_o enough_o for_o make_v iron_n but_o there_o seem_v some_o difficulty_n in_o the_o want_n of_o hand_n to_o work_v and_o supply_v that_o be_v the_o only_a objection_n i_o see_v in_o this_o affair_n and_o although_o that_o have_v be_v too_o great_a for_o particular_a man_n to_o undertake_v yet_o may_v not_o though_o if_o undertake_v by_o a_o

of_o the_o most_o useless_a and_o unprofitable_a plantation_n of_o this_o nation_n the_o best_a and_o most_o advantageous_a to_o this_o nation_n i_o may_v enumerate_v many_o particular_n but_o i_o

to_o spain_n portugal_n and_o the_o levant_n than_o the_o northern_a crown_n who_o now_o furnish_v that_o part_n of_o europe_n with_o those_o commodity_n new_a england_n can_v furnish_v that_o
