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.

such_o work_n shall_v maintain_v themselves_o by_o reason_n that_o such_o work_n have_v many_o overseer_n and_o director_n that_o must_v be_v maintain_v by_o a_o salary_n and_o something_o must_v be_v allow_v to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o those_o weak_a hand_n that_o can_v get_v sufficient_a for_o their_o own_o livelihood_n and_o the_o advantage_n will_v be_v great_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o the_o labour_n in_o some_o serviceable_a commoditte_n will_v maintain_v but_o the_o one_o half_a of_o those_o idle_a person_n that_o go_v wander_v and_o now_o live_v by_o filch_v steal_v rogue_a drab_v and_o beg_v from_o door_n to_o door_n i_o have_v many_o time_n offer_v to_o many_o of_o those_o idle_a person_n both_o man_n and_o woman_n six_o penny_n by_o the_o day_n to_o work_v they_o

great_a evil_n enclose_v your_o commons_o and_o down_o with_o those_o many_o thousand_o of_o blind_a alehouse_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o uphold_v drunkenness_n idleness_n roguery_n whoredom_n and_o increase_v beggary_n and_o erect_v workhouse_n for_o this_o be_v one_o great_a mean_n to_o make_v the_o poor_a rich_a and_o the_o rich_a yet_o more_o rich_a and_o be_v these_o many_o idle_a person_n set_v to_o work_n it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o inrichment_n of_o but_o a_o great_a honour_n to_o our_o nation_n ob._n but_o here_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o many_o of_o these_o cottage_n be_v new_a erection_n and_o ought_v not_o by_o the_o statute_n to_o be_v suffer_v or_o contain_v an._n my_o answer_n be_v that_o you_o have_v either_o give_v way_n to_o the_o build_n of_o they_o for_o the_o ease_n of_o your_o parish_n or_o out_o of_o a_o base_a fear_n of_o your_o lord_n the_o parish_n sometime_o want_v habitation_n for_o their_o poor_a and_o then_o with_o consent_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v a_o new_a erection_n and_o for_o which_o there_o be_v very_o few_o lord_n but_o contrary_a to_o law_n do_v receive_v rend_v so_o that_o he_o care_v not_o how_o many_o be_v erect_v again_o many_o time_n the_o lord_n give_v way_n to_o erect_v without_o consent_n either_o of_o free_a or_o copyholder_n and_o if_o such_o be_v present_v yet_o very_o seldom_o redress_v the_o statute_n do_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o poor_a be_v admit_v and_o continue_v a_o short_a time_n in_o the_o parish_n they_o have_v a_o right_n of_o habitation_n within_o the_o parish_n and_o must_v be_v provide_v for_o but_o such_o have_v be_v the_o cruelty_n of_o the_o former_a incloser_n that_o not_o only_o those_o new_a erection_n but_o old_a and_o new_a all_o together_o have_v be_v thrust_v our_o and_o may_v have_v herein_o as_o too_o often_o overcome_v right_a and_o thereby_o the_o poor_a inhabitant_n necessitate_v to_o seek_v their_o bread_n from_o door_n to_o door_n which_o doubtless_o have_v be_v a_o cry_a sin_n and_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o those_o which_o have_v so_o do_v have_v have_v the_o curse_n of_o these_o poor_a fall_v on_o they_o or_o their_o family_n therefore_o my_o advice_n be_v that_o they_o all_o be_v provide_v for_o proportionable_o according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o their_o family_n and_o then_o you_o may_v expect_v a_o blessing_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v it_o bless_a be_v the_o merciful_a and_o here_o cast_v thy_o bread_n on_o the_o water_n and_o thou_o shall_v find_v it_o after_o many_o day_n age_n to_o come_v shall_v bless_v god_n that_o such_o mercy_n have_v be_v show_v in_o our_o day_n and_o that_o common_a curse_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o blessing_n to_o your_o child_n child_n for_o many_o generation_n for_o the_o other_o three_o part_n let_v the_o one_o four_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o other_o three_o to_o the_o free_a and_o copyholder_n that_o have_v a_o right_a thereunto_o or_o rather_o let_v the_o free_a and_o copy_n holder_n have_n the_o whole_a and_o pay_v the_o lord_n a_o easy_a quit_v rend_v for_o each_o acre_n that_o shall_v be_v enclose_v but_o whosoever_o enclose_v let_v he_o be_v strict_o enjoin_v that_o every_o twenty_o acre_n beside_o hedge_n be_v plant_v with_o wood_n which_o may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o to_o such_o ground_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a good_a and_o time_n may_v make_v it_o of_o much_o advantage_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n especial_o where_o near_o navigable_a river_n for_o preserve_v of_o wood_n will_v not_o be_v the_o least_o advantage_n to_o this_o nation_n country_n man_n put_v it_o in_o practice_n what_o with_o your_o hedge_n and_o those_o dainty_a scatter_a little_a grove_n in_o which_o you_o will_v not_o only_o have_v a_o great_a delight_n but_o much_o profit_n for_o it_o will_v keep_v your_o ground_n warm_a and_o thereby_o make_v it_o more_o fruitful_a it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a shelter_n both_o to_o your_o corn_n sheep_n and_o other_o cattle_n you_o may_v bedeck_v your_o hedge_n with_o pear-tree_n and_o appletree_n in_o which_o you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a increase_n and_o take_v much_o pleasure_n let_v the_o example_n of_o worcester_n and_o hereford_n shire_n invite_v you_o to_o this_o again_o let_v the_o incloser_n be_v enjoin_v to_o leave_v good_a large_a high_a way_n and_o so_o leave_v to_o be_v by_o they_o maintain_v but_o as_o for_o those_o large_a commons_o in_o wales_n and_o here_o may_v be_v take_v in_o yorkshire_n lancashire_n and_o other_o of_o those_o northern_a county_n that_o do_v abound_v with_o commons_o and_o ignorance_n i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v if_o not_o requisite_a to_o a_o quiet_a in_o government_n that_o learning_n be_v further_v and_o that_o by_o divide_v those_o large_a commons_o into_o five_o equal_a part_n and_o that_o one_o five_o part_n thereof_o shall_v be_v subdivide_v the_o one_o moiety_n thereof_o to_o maintain_v a_o free_a school_n in_o every_o parish_n to_o teach_v the_o english_a letter_n which_o some_o poor_a honest_a man_n or_o woman_n will_v undertake_v for_o a_o very_a small_a stipend_n between_o five_o or_o ten_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o all_o man_n child_n shall_v there_o be_v teach_v free_o and_o if_o the_o parish_n lie_v near_o and_o convenient_a than_o one_o school_n may_v serve_v two_o parish_n this_o will_v encourage_v the_o poor_a to_o send_v their_o child_n sometime_o when_o they_o have_v little_a to_o do_v for_o they_o and_o thereby_o attain_v to_o some_o little_a learning_n which_o will_v tend_v much_o to_o the_o civilise_n of_o they_o and_o all_o may_v acquire_v so_o much_o as_o may_v make_v they_o fit_a for_o a_o high_a school_n the_o other_o moiety_n of_o the_o five_o part_n may_v be_v well_o employ_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o a_o latin_a free_a school_n and_o these_o to_o be_v so_o seat_v in_o the_o several_a county_n that_o man_n need_v not_o
