sufficient_a man_n son_n put_v apprentice_n to_o this_o trade_n second_o because_o the_o shop-keeping_a trade_n be_v a_o easy_a life_n and_o thence_o many_o be_v induce_v to_o run_v into_o it_o and_o there_o have_v be_v no_o law_n to_o prevent_v it_o or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o it_o have_v be_v very_o slack_o execute_v which_o make_v very_o many_o like_o a_o mighty_a torrent_n fall_v into_o it_o which_o have_v be_v verify_v for_o several_a year_n past_a by_o many_o husbandman_n labourer_n and_o artificer_n who_o have_v leave_v off_o their_o work_a trade_n and_o turn_v shopkeeper_n and_o of_o quaker_n great_a number_n of_o late_a year_n be_v become_v shopkeeper_n for_o if_o a_o man_n that_o have_v be_v very_o mean_o breed_v and_o be_v never_o worth_a much_o above_o a_o groat_n in_o all_o

tribe_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v conceive_v by_o some_o wise_a man_n that_o they_o will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n engross_v the_o whole_a trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n into_o their_o hand_n and_o then_o again_o there_o be_v some_o of_o the_o silk-weaver_n but_o more_o of_o the_o clothier_n that_o deal_n in_o as_o many_o it_o not_o far_o more_o commodity_n than_o any_o shopkeeper_n do_v that_o have_v be_v apprentice_n to_o his_o trade_n for_o they_o sell_v not_o only_o the_o cloth_n that_o they_o make_v but_o stuff_v linen_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n and_o have_v such_o way_n to_o put_v

these_o work-folk_n will_v fell_v the_o same_o again_o for_o money_n to_o buy_v such_o necessary_n which_o they_o want_v and_o it_o be_v not_o much_o better_a with_o they_o of_o the_o city_n of_o

from_o whence_o they_o descend_v be_v serviceable_a in_o their_o generation_n both_o to_o their_o king_n and_o country_n and_o many_o time_n keep_v up_o the_o name_n and_o grandeur_n of_o their_o

do_v frequent_o happen_v when_o the_o gentry_n die_v that_o they_o leave_v but_o small_a portion_n to_o their_o daughter_n scarce_o sufficient_a to_o prefer_v they_o to_o gentleman_n of_o great_a

with_o such_o as_o those_o do_v come_v to_o live_v a_o little_a suitable_o to_o their_o birth_n and_o breed_n indeed_o the_o inns-of-court_n and_o the_o university_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v both_o of_o they_o place_n fit_a for_o the_o preferment_n of_o young_a son_n but_o every_o one_o have_v not_o a_o genius_n capable_a of_o learn_v those_o noble_a yet_o abstruse_a science_n there_o teach_v and_o profess_v who_o notwithstanding_o be_v capable_a enough_o of_o a_o shop-keeping_a trade_n beside_o if_o every_o one_o be_v fit_a for_o either_o of_o these_o yet_o they_o will_v not_o suffice_v to_o receive_v a_o three_o part_n even_o of_o this_o sort_n of_o youth_n and_o then_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v with_o the_o rest_n shall_v they_o be_v bring_v up_o to_o no_o employment_n but_o he_o leave_v to_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o their_o youthful_a lust_n to_o commit_v such_o impiety_n and_o debauchery_n which_o may_v just_o entitle_v tham_fw-mi to_o the_o

where_o the_o gentry_n disdain_n to_o place_n forth_o their_o child_n to_o trade_n who_o therefore_o turn_v very_o dissolute_a and_o vicious_a and_o no_o way_n serviceable_a in_o time_n of_o peace_n in_o their_o generation_n either_o to_o their_o king_n or_o country_n where_o they_o live_v second_o because_o shopkeeper_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o education_n be_v never_o use_v to_o labour_n and_o shall_v their_o trade_n be_v destroy_v by_o these_o mean_n they_o will_v not_o know_v how_o to_o maintain_v themselves_o and_o their_o family_n but_o they_o that_o have_v be_v breed_v to_o work_v they_o may_v labour_v in_o any_o other_o employment_n if_o that_o to_o which_o they_o have_v be_v breed_v will_v not_o maintain_v they_o three_o because_o this_o have_v render_v the_o shop-keeping_a trade_n to_o be_v unprofitable_a like_a unto_o many_o unstinted_a commons_o that_o no_o body_n be_v the_o better_a for_o now_o where_o there_o be_v no_o order_n or_o rule_n there_o must_v be_v confusion_n as_o it_o be_v in_o trade_n at_o this_o time_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v order_n and_o rule_v observe_v in_o other_o vocation_n and_o why_o not_o so_o in_o this_o the_o minister_n must_v not_o preach_v until_o he_o be_v ordain_v the_o lawyer_n must_v not_o plead_v before_o he_o be_v call_v to_o the_o bar_n the_o chirurgeon_n must_v not_o practice_v before_o he_o have_v his_o licence_n neither_o can_v the_o midwife_n practice_v before_o she_o have_v her_o licence_n too_o and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v any_o set_v up_o a_o shop-keeping_a trade_n before_o they_o have_v be_v make_v free_a of_o the_o same_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o apprentice_n after_o they_o come_v out_o of_o their_o time_n do_v get_v into_o the_o world_n or_o can_v make_v any_o benefit_n of_o their_o trade_n wherein_o it_o concern_v all_o whatsoever_o whether_o gentleman_n or_o clergyman_n to_o be_v very_o solicitous_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o this_o way_n of_o life_n which_o be_v so_o conduce_v to_o the_o preferment_n of_o their_o child_n four_o because_o it_o will_v cost_v a_o round_a sum_n of_o money_n before_o a_o child_n can_v be_v settle_v in_o any_o shop-keeping_a trade_n first_o to_o breed_v he_o at_o school_n and_o to_o make_v he_o fit_a for_o the_o same_o 2._o to_o place_v he_o forth_o to_o the_o say_a trade_n when_o he_o be_v fit_a which_o will_v cost_v in_o a_o country_n market_n town_n not_o less_o than_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o pound_n but_o in_o london_n upward_o of_o a_o hundred_o so_o that_o these_o trade_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v purchase_v and_o that_o not_o only_o with_o money_n by_o the_o parent_n but_o with_o a_o servitude_n also_o by_o the_o son_n therefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o
