exert_v half_a their_o strength_n and_o labour_n a_o notorious_a piece_n of_o knavery_n and_o deceit_n i_o do_v not_o much_o approve_v therefore_o of_o hire_v man_n by_o task_n unless_o the_o work_n be_v such_o as_o depend_v upon_o many_o subordinate_a and_o inferior_a workman_n of_o divers_a kind_n as_o in_o building_n project_v and_o the_o like_a where_o the_o head-undertaker_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v a_o great_a insight_n into_o all_o thing_n thereon_o depend_v than_o a_o ordinary_a private_a person_n can_v pretend_v to_o and_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n be_v diligent_a in_o compute_v his_o charge_n and_o wary_a in_o make_v his_o bargain_n he_o may_v ease_v himself_o probable_o of_o a_o great_a trouble_n and_o expense_n which_o he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o meet_v with_o in_o chaffer_v every_o day_n at_o the_o workman_n of_o several_a occupation_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o business_n of_o hazard_n and_o vexation_n but_o my_o business_n at_o present_a concern_v such_o rather_o as_o we_o common_o call_v day-labourer_n as_o hedger_n ditcher_n thrasher_n wood-cutter_n with_o suchlike_a servile_a labourer_n as_o be_v more_o near_o concern_v with_o the_o honest_a farmer_n or_o husbandman_n and_o here_o i_o think_v my_o observation_n do_v not_o fail_v i_o viz._n that_o in_o time_n of_o great_a plenty_n labourer_n be_v in_o great_a scarcity_n for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o lazy_a fellow_n and_o such_o common_a labourer_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o especial_o of_o the_o base_a sort_n can_v in_o time_n of_o plenty_n maintain_v themselves_o for_o a_o week_n perhaps_o with_o three_o day_n labour_n for_o general_o such_o sort_n of_o cattle_n will_v work_v only_o from_o hand_n to_o mouth_n know_v that_o in_o case_n of_o old_a age_n sickness_n or_o increase_v of_o child_n the_o parish_n must_v maintain_v they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v at_o any_o time_n six_o penny_n in_o bank_n the_o next_o alehouse_n lay_v a_o embargo_n on_o it_o or_o if_o we_o be_v in_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o their_o labour_n we_o must_v purchase_v it_o at_o extraordinary_a rate_n now_o this_o be_v evident_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o husbandman_n viz._n to_o give_v most_o to_o hire_v labourer_n when_o the_o production_n of_o the_o earth_n yield_v he_o the_o least_o profit_n and_o what_o be_v yet_o worse_o the_o number_n of_o poor_a increase_v for_o few_o will_v labour_v when_o the_o earth_n yield_v they_o food_n for_o nothing_o which_o observation_n may_v be_v yet_o far_o improve_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o most_o fertile_a and_o plentiful_a country_n be_v ever_o stock_v with_o vagabond_n and_o beggar_n whilst_o the_o hungry_a and_o barren_a part_n have_v no_o entertainment_n for_o such_o unprofitable_a vermin_n and_o consequent_o the_o inhabitant_n grow_v rich_a or_o at_o least_o be_v not_o poor_a to_o remedy_v which_o evil_n there_o can_v be_v no_o better_a way_n than_o for_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n once_o every_o year_n to_o regulate_v the_o rate_n and_o wage_n of_o such_o labourer_n according_a as_o the_o profit_n and_o production_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v ebb_v or_o flow_v as_o also_o severe_o to_o punish_v such_o nuissant_a fellow_n as_o shall_v neglect_v their_o daily_a labour_n for_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v most_o certain_o true_a that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o welfare_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o his_o time_n and_o of_o his_o own_o propriety_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o wander_a labourer_n or_o merchants-errant_a as_o journeyman_n tailor_n journeyman_n shoemaker_n and_o the_o like_a which_o wander_v from_o country_n to_o country_n be_v entertain_v in_o town_n and_o country-village_n where_o these_o gentleman_n stay_v usual_o no_o long_o than_o till_o they_o can_v make_v a_o acquaintance_n with_o the_o neighbour_a ground_n shop_n or_o stable_n and_o then_o away_o march_v these_o professor_n of_o the_o gentle-craft_n and_o renew_v their_o trade_n in_o some_o other_o country_n and_o so_o on_o to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o life_n unless_o they_o fall_v peradventure_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o press-master_n or_o of_o the_o hangman_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o further_a sort_n of_o mungrel-labourer_n or_o merchants-errant_a as_o common_a pedlar_n fiddler_n cobbler_n juggler_n fruit-carrier_n tinker_n rag-man_n rat-catcher_n rope-dancer_n and_o the_o like_a which_o wander_v up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n pretend_v to_o live_v by_o their_o labour_n and_o their_o wit_n be_v a_o sort_n of_o pilfer_a rogue_n fit_a only_a to_o receive_v their_o wage_n at_o the_o stock_n or_o whipping-post_n as_o for_o our_o scotch_a merchant_n or_o travel_v pedlar_n they_o be_v not_o unwelcome_a to_o the_o place_n they_o frequent_v for_o though_o they_o be_v scot_n that_o be_v such_o as_o will_v never_o loose_v any_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v get_v yet_o to_o such_o who_o know_v how_o to_o deal_v with_o they_o they_o afford_v good_a pennyworth_n enough_o and_o be_v inoffensive_a in_o their_o way_n of_o live_v so_o that_o they_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v countenance_v than_o discourage_v and_o if_o they_o under-sell_a the_o shop_n it_o be_v the_o draper_n fault_n for_o certain_o man_n will_v rather_o buy_v what_o they_o want_v when_o bring_v home_o to_o their_o

rend_v with_o other_o duty_n but_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o buyer_n who_o will_v still_o lay_v out_o his_o money_n where_o he_o meet_v with_o best_a cheap_a which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o the_o shopkeeper_n themselves_o do_v daily_a practice_n whether_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o housekeeper_n to_o have_v his_o work_n manage_v by_o day-labourer_n or_o by_o domestic_n be_v a_o point_n likewise_o of_o some_o consideration_n in_o the_o oeconomy_n of_o a_o family_n domestic_n probable_o may_v be_v a_o great_a charge_n because_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o pay_v and_o provide_v for_o they_o even_o then_o when_o they_o do_v we_o no_o service_n as_o in_o case_n of_o sickness_n or_o of_o unseasonable_a wether_n or_o of_o want_v a_o full_a employment_n in_o all_o which_o case_n day-labourer_n lie_v more_o easy_a upon_o we_o as_o be_v pay_v no_o long_o than_o they_o work_v but_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v work_n want_v for_o our_o servant_n than_o

precedent_a chapter_n it_o be_v a_o usual_a thing_n for_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o abound_v with_o child_n as_o live_v general_o a_o temperate_a and_o frugal_a life_n to_o pawn_v themselves_o and_o child_n to_o usurer_n upon_o the_o loan_n of_o money_n or_o other_o necessary_n for_o their_o support_n and_o livelihood_n the_o oppression_n of_o these_o usurer_n many_o time_n
