i_o with_o his_o approvement_n advice_n and_o encouragement_n therein_o judge_v it_o necessary_a that_o i_o shall_v first_o offer_v the_o same_o to_o his_o majesty_n consideration_n and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o do_v introduce_v i_o to_o his_o royal_a presence_n who_o be_v gracious_o please_v to_o order_v i_o to_o deliver_v it_o to_o one_o of_o his_o secretary_n of_o state_n to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v peruse_v it_o and_o bring_v in_o his_o report_n thereof_o whereupon_o i_o carry_v it_o to_o mr._n secretary_n coventry_n who_o give_v his_o approbation_n thereof_o to_o his_o majesty_n at_o the_o council_n table_n where_o it_o pass_v without_o any_o obstruction_n which_o give_v i_o the_o great_a encouragement_n to_o put_v the_o say_a proposal_n in_o print_n for_o the_o deliberate_a perusal_n and_o grave_a consideration_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n who_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v as_o great_o concern_v to_o encourage_v all_o such_o humble_a endeavour_n tend_v to_o such_o general_n wealth_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v the_o opportunity_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o adjournment_n of_o parliament_n since_o whit_n suntide_v last_o immediate_o after_o which_o my_o proposal_n come_v out_o of_o the_o press_n i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v superfluous_a to_o add_v a_o few_o line_n for_o the_o answer_v some_o further_a objection_n but_o first_o shall_v add_v a_o few_o word_n to_o the_o answer_n already_o give_v to_o the_o second_o obj._n pag._n 5._o where_o i_o say_v that_o the_o lay_v out_o of_o 5_o l_o for_o the_o building_n of_o work_v almshouse_n will_v purchase_v 50_o s._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o ever_o whereas_o i_o now_o find_v that_o it_o will_v purchase_v 20_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o most_o parish_n as_o may_v thus_o appear_v suppose_v every_o farm_n worth_a 100_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n plant_v but_o eight_o acre_n of_o flax_n or_o hemp_n and_o that_o worth_a 7_o 6_o or_o 5_o l._n per_fw-la acre_n which_o last_o sum_n be_v the_o least_o that_o may_v be_v expect_v from_o good_a land_n to_o be_v worth_a as_o it_o stand_v on_o the_o ground_n wherefore_o to_o avoid_v mistake_n we_o will_v take_v our_o measure_n from_o 5_o l._n per_fw-la acre-05-00-00_a for_o rent_n we_o will_v deduct_v 20_o s._n for_o 20_o s._n for_o seed_n and_o for_o plough_v sow_v and_o harrow_n 10_o s._n in_o all_o 02-10_a 00_o which_o deduct_v out_o of_o 5_o l._n there_o remain_v mains_fw-fr clear_a profit_n for_o one_o acre_n of_o land_n 02-10_a 00_o so_o that_o eight_o acre_n at_o the_o least_o value_n must_v yield_v clear_a profit_n all_o charge_n deduct_v 20-00-00_a to_o which_o add_v 2_o l._n 10_o s._n which_o will_v be_v save_v out_o of_o the_o poor_n book_n and_o it_o make_v 22-10-00_a so_o that_o a_o farm_n which_o be_v worth_a 100_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n will_n by_o this_o expedient_a be_v worth_a six_o score_n and_o two_o pound_n and_o ten_o shilling_n per_fw-la ann._n and_o to_o be_v sell_v will_v yield_v 450_o l._n more_o than_o before_o which_o be_v a_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o the_o lay_v out_o of_o 5_o l._n towards_o the_o building_n and_o furnish_v these_o hospital_n will_v purchase_v above_o 20_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n or_o bring_v in_o 450_o l._n and_o this_o be_v the_o low_a calculation_n that_o may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o profit_n and_o advantage_n that_o may_v arise_v by_o plant_v of_o hemp_n and_o flax_n if_o well_o husband_v and_o most_o true_a it_o be_v there_o be_v no_o one_o manufactory_a in_o england_n so_o general_o profitable_a as_o this_o may_v be_v make_v especial_o to_o be_v raise_v from_o land_n with_o so_o little_a hurt_n do_v to_o the_o same_o as_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v thus_o suppose_v the_o crop_n of_o one_o acre_n as_o it_o stand_v on_o the_o ground_n to_o be_v worth_a 7_o l._n which_o be_v a_o very_a moderate_a supposition_n this_o seven_o pound_n worth_n be_v well_o dress_v fit_a for_o the_o spinner_n may_v be_v worth_a 14_o l._n this_o fourteen_o pound_n worth_n be_v well_o spin_v and_o make_v into_o good_a cloth_n may_v be_v worth_a from_o 40_o l._n to_o 60_o l._n yea_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v beyond_o the_o sea_n that_o the_o cloth_n which_o may_v be_v make_v of_o one_o acre_n of_o flax_n well_o dress_v and_o well_o spin_v may_v be_v worth_n more_o than_o a_o 100_o l._n let_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o we_o have_v idle_a hand_n enough_o in_o our_o nation_n to_o perfect_v this_o most_o profitable_a improvement_n and_o also_o that_o little_o more_o than_o half_a the_o money_n which_o in_o one_o year_n go_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n for_o linen_n will_v pay_v for_o accomplish_v the_o same_o nay_o if_o the_o thing_n be_v right_o consider_v it_o may_v be_v easy_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o money_n which_o go_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n for_o linen_n in_o one_o year_n will_v pay_v for_o make_v of_o all_o the_o cloth_n that_o may_v be_v make_v in_o 20_o year_n although_o in_o every_o year_n of_o that_o twenty_o there_o be_v as_o much_o make_v as_o now_o we_o buy_v in_o a_o year_n of_o other_o nation_n as_o thus_o money_n be_v keep_v at_o home_n within_o the_o body_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v as_o it_o have_v no_o less_o apt_o than_o frequent_o be_v resemble_v like_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o circulation_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n which_o be_v not_o the_o less_o for_o its_o perpetual_a motion_n but_o the_o whole_a body_n thereby_o the_o better_a supply_v strengthen_v and_o nourish_v in_o every_o part._n so_o it_o be_v with_o our_o money_n for_o suppose_v twelve_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n go_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n in_o one_o year_n which_o some_o say_v be_v much_o more_o this_o never_o return_v again_o but_o if_o the_o same_o sum_n be_v pay_v for_o make_v so_o much_o cloth_n at_o home_n there_o be_v not_o one_o groat_n the_o less_o at_o the_o year_n end_n so_o that_o the_o very_a money_n which_o pay_v for_o one_o year_n work_n may_v pay_v for_o two_o year_n and_o consequent_o for_o 20_o year_n and_o yet_o pass_v through_o all_o necessary_a trade_n and_o as_o well_o to_o the_o land_n occupier_n as_o any_o the_o 9th_o obj._n but_o possible_o your_o engine_n for_o expedition_n may_v fail_v which_o if_o so_o then_o notwithstanding_o the_o spinner_n etc._n etc._n may_v earn_v their_o own_o food_n yet_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o good_a government_n which_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n you_o aim_v at_o whereby_o all_o person_n who_o axe_n bring_v into_o the_o hospital_n may_v be_v well_o educate_v and_o effectual_o instruct_v in_o a_o methodical_a way_n for_o expedition_n and_o advantage_n administer_a encourage_v reward_n to_o the_o ingenuous_a and_o industrious_a and_o correction_n to_o those_o that_o deserve_v it_o without_o which_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a to_o perfect_v your_o good_a design_n answ_n it_o be_v very_o true_a but_o first_o i_o be_o confirm_v in_o my_o judgement_n that_o the_o riddance_n these_o engine_n will_v make_v can_v be_v less_o than_o what_o i_o have_v already_o propose_v in_o pag._n the_o 5_o the_o second_o suppose_v the_o worst_a viz._n that_o the_o engine_n fail_v what_o then_o if_o every_o 100_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n in_o each_o county_n contribute_v 3_o d._n per_fw-la week_n which_o will_v undoubted_o be_v sufficient_a to_o maintain_v good_a government_n among_o they_o nay_o what_o if_o for_o the_o better_a encouragement_n and_o more_o comfortable_a maintenance_n of_o all_o the_o whole_a family_n six_o penny_n per_fw-la week_n be_v pay_v it_o will_v amount_v but_o to_o 26_o s._n per_fw-la ann._n to_o be_v allow_v out_o of_o the_o profit_n which_o each_o 100_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n will_v reap_v thereby_o which_o according_a to_o our_o low_a calculation_n be_v not_o less_o than_o 22_o l._n 10_o s._n a_o year_n and_o i_o hope_v the_o great_a wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v not_o think_v it_o too_o much_o to_o part_v with_o 5_o l._n for_o the_o building_n these_o hospital_n and_o after_o they_o be_v build_v to_o allow_v 26_o s._n per_fw-la ann._n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o good_a government_n etc._n etc._n since_o by_o so_o do_v the_o whole_a nation_n be_v enrich_v thereby_o the_o truth_n be_v these_o hospital_n and_o government_n be_v so_o essential_a that_o the_o thing_n can_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v without_o they_o for_o whatever_o we_o may_v promise_v ourselves_o yet_o the_o work_n be_v otherwise_o as_o unlikely_a to_o be_v effect_v as_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o unhappy_a scholar_n to_o learn_v their_o book_n where_o there_o be_v neither_o master_n nor_o tutor_n to_o rule_v teach_v or_o govern._n and_o who_o know_v but_o in_o very_a few_o age_n each_o
