a_o proposal_n offer_v to_o the_o committee_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_z appoint_v to_o consider_v of_o way_n for_o the_o better_a provide_v for_o the_o poor_a and_o set_v they_o on_o work_n and_o now_o under_o their_o consideration_n that_o the_o law_n now_o in_o force_n about_o vagrant_n rogue_n beggar_n lewd_a woman_n bastard_n etc._n etc._n and_o also_o the_o law_n about_o the_o settlement_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v comprehend_v in_o one_o statute_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v more_o easy_o understand_v by_o those_o who_o shall_v undertake_v the_o care_n of_o the_o poor_a that_o the_o law_n about_o provide_v for_o and_o employ_v the_o poor_a be_v still_o in_o force_n where_o new_a corporation_n for_o the_o poor_a be_v not_o settle_v that_o encouragement_n be_v give_v for_o erect_v hospital_n house_n of_o correction_n and_o work-house_n for_o maintain_v and_o employ_v the_o poor_a of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o all_o the_o county_n city_n and_o town_n under_o the_o management_n of_o corporation_n settle_v either_o under_o the_o great_a seal_n of_o england_n or_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o by_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n in_o their_o quarter-session_n that_o where_o these_o corporation_n be_v settle_v in_o city_n or_o town_n corporate_a the_o poor_n rate_n of_o all_o the_o parish_n be_v unite_v into_o one_o and_o equal_o raise_v on_o the_o inhabitant_n according_a to_o their_o estate_n both_o real_a and_o personal_a except_o in_o london_n or_o other_o very_a large_a place_n which_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o several_a corporation_n by_o discretion_n of_o the_o justice_n who_o may_v bring_v the_o charge_n to_o a_o equality_n either_o by_o join_v rich_a parish_n with_o poor_a or_o by_o make_v the_o rich_a corporation_n contribute_v to_o the_o poor_a that_o the_o corporation_n in_o the_o country_n be_v not_o extend_v so_o large_a as_o to_o comprehend_v a_o whole_a county_n the_o poor_a thereof_o be_v too_o many_o for_o one_o corporation_n to_o govern_v but_o rather_o confine_v to_o a_o hundred_o or_o hundred_o who_o parish_n to_o be_v comprehend_v in_o one_o and_o each_o of_o they_o to_o
