us upon Importing Corn from other parts This in a Country so natural for Grain and that lies so near Holland which fetcheth such quantities from abroad may be thought not the least of our mistakes in Trade and Commerce To me I confess it seems a great neglect to see so many Acres set for Five or Ten Shillings an Acre and the Tenants scarce able to pay that which under Corn might yeild to the Farmer Five Pounds and though part of that goes in Labour yet the whole is so much added to the Treasure of the Nation and would be the greatest advantage to the Rent of Lands that ever was or can be by any other means raised in the Kingdom Now that what I here propose may appear practicable something shall be offer'd that I conceive may shew what I here set down to be more than meerly Notional 1. First then as to the Grain which is most in demand in Foreign Markets and they are Rye for Holland Horse-Beans for Bilboa and Barly for Portugal I mention not Wheat because that we have most of but the other three is least propagated in England though the most proper for Exportation and seems possible considering how much nearer we lye to a Market than Dantzick to be exported from England as Cheap as from any Part and as Quantities in other Commodities enables the Seller of them to abate in Price of what they can when they are scarce so it would be in this of Corn when a Farmer is more sure of a Market for Twenty Acres of Corn than he is now of Five he may abate of his Price and yet be a greater Gainer than when he hath but a little and a greater Price we account it so in all other Commodities 2. For Encouragement of making Corn an Export it is to be remembred That we send most of our Ships light to Bilboa and Lisbon so that will help our Navigation that loads our Ships then it is to be considered that our Exports to Lisbon do not answer our Imports from thence since we fetch so much Wine from Portugal and it is hoped since we have fallen into it we shall never exceed in French Wine They neither can nor will take off our Commodities Corn they never did as Portugal will The difficulty that appears to the introduction of this so profitable a disposition of the Lands of England is how to bring the Nation to it for all new things are hardly propagated Three things I submit that to me seem of strength to bring the Nation into it And they are these 1. That a Statute be made to oblige all persons to a certain Proportion of Plowing according to what they keep in Grazing 2. That all Land under Tillage shall be free from any manner of Tax 3. That some ease may be given as to the Tythe for what is Exported it is a heavy load and discouragement one tenth for that which goes out care should be taken to make what goes out as Cheap as possible that so no other Country might Undersel us I would not be thought to lessen the Income of the Clergy to the contrary I think they ought to partake of all the Increase of the Kingdom and what I here propose would be for their advantage by encouraging the greater Exports and ways might be found to give some encouragement from them to the Plow-man that might be easy to both But to all that hath been said for encouragement of Tillage there appears a seeming Objection and that is We often see Corn so Cheap that the Farmers are broke by it and what would they do with double the Quantities as it is hoped this Law and Encouragement might produce This is partly answered before That the reason why we want a Market for our Corn is because we have not always Store and so Merchants make no Provision for the Trade nor will quit a place where they are sure of Supply so if once it were known that England set upon the Trade of Corn there would not be want of Buyers it is not to be imagined how soon the Plenty of a Commodity makes a Trade I remember when we imported quantities of Silk Stockins from the Levant but as soon as we had the Invention of Looms the stream turned and we send them there Plenty makes Cheapness and that increaseth Trade But there is another Answer to be given for the want of a Market for our Corn and that is We run most on Wheat and neglect those sorts before-mentioned which are most in demand abroad and of which we could never exceed but the more we provide the greater will the Price be for Quantities as is before said brings numbers of Buyers whereas where there are not Stores of a Commodity Buyers are but few and then they set the Market and have the Commodity at their own Rate I shall end this First Part of my Essays as I began them Truth may be allowed repetition That as this Nation never more wanted Thoughts and Endeavours to enlarge and improve their Navigation and Commerce than now having so Potent a Neighbour as the French that grow upon us so Blessed be God England never had a greater Monarch that lays out himself to make us a great and flourishing People If we are wanting to our selves it is our fault and will be our misfortune Measures for Trade must arise from the Subject Grants and Concessions from the King FINIS Books Printed for and Sold by Thomas Cockeril at the Three Leggs in the Poultrey London THE Instrumentality of Faith Asserted Proved Explained Compared with and Preferred to a Conditional Relation thereof in order to Pardon and Happiness when seriously taken in a Legal or Foederal sence By W.
