do_v bring_v in_o the_o number_n of_o all_o the_o house_n that_o sell_v ale_n or_o beer_n in_o each_o parish_n and_o by_o conference_n with_o some_o of_o the_o able_a to_o judge_v in_o the_o tower_n hamblet_n southwark_n and_o the_o city_n of_o london_n it_o be_v judge_v that_o there_o be_v not_o then_o less_o than_o six_o thousand_o within_o the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n since_o that_o we_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o believe_v their_o decrease_n and_o in_o my_o observation_n upon_o conference_n with_o know_v man_n of_o most_o county_n of_o england_n who_o eye_n have_v be_v upon_o this_o great_a evil_n it_o may_v be_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o less_o than_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o in_o england_n but_o lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o mistake_n in_o the_o great_a number_n i_o will_v make_v use_n of_o the_o less_o which_o be_v one_o hundred_o thousand_o to_o measure_v our_o waist_n or_o loss_n by_o and_o that_o this_o may_v be_v more_o than_o probable_a viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o house_n in_o which_o ale_n and_o beer_n be_v sell_v within_o this_o nation_n i_o thus_o compute_v it_o the_o city_n in_o england_n be_v twenty_o and_o six_o the_o market_n town_n in_o england_n be_v six_o hundred_o and_o forty_o the_o parish_n in_o england_n beside_o what_o be_v in_o city_n and_o market_n town_n be_v eight_o thousand_o at_o least_o the_o city_n say_v i_o have_v in_o they_o one_o with_o another_o five_o hundred_o in_o all_o thirteen_o thousand_o the_o market_n townes_n i_o judge_v to_o have_v in_o they_o one_o with_o another_o seventy_o five_o in_o all_o forty_o seven_o thousand_o the_o parish_n one_o with_o another_o have_v five_o in_o all_o forty_o thousand_o so_o than_o if_o this_o account_n be_v allow_v the_o total_a will_v be_v one_o hundred_o thousand_o have_v this_o small_a measure_n to_o judge_v by_o which_o i_o believe_v be_v as_o small_a as_o any_o measure_n they_o sell_v their_o ale_n by_o comparative_o let_v it_o be_v either_o the_o straight_o lace_a flagon_n or_o the_o narrow_a bottom_v pot_n the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v but_o the_o one_o half_a it_o shall_v be_v and_o i_o believe_v this_o be_v the_o like_a but_o however_o the_o wise_a will_v easy_o judge_v of_o the_o great_a by_o this_o less_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o look_v on_o the_o many_o house_n that_o sell_v ale_n or_o beer_n but_o will_v say_v there_o be_v too_o many_o by_o the_o one_o half_a and_o that_o what_o be_v spend_v in_o such_o house_n be_v too_o much_o by_o three_o part_n of_o four_o nay_o many_o will_v say_v by_o nine_o part_n in_o ten_o in_o this_o i_o agree_v but_o i_o will_v take_v the_o thought_n of_o they_o that_o judge_v the_o least_o and_o so_o take_v but_o the_o one_o half_a of_o what_o be_v spend_v in_o these_o hundred_o thousand_o alehouse_n to_o be_v a_o waist_n and_o allow_v the_o other_o half_o to_o go_v for_o what_o be_v of_o necessity_n conveniency_n and_o lawful_a delight_n for_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o the_o call_n of_o itself_o be_v both_o lawful_a and_o necessary_a and_o our_o inn_n on_o great_a road_n in_o england_n be_v not_o only_o very_o useful_a but_o their_o entertainment_n such_o that_o they_o be_v a_o honour_n to_o our_o nation_n and_o therefore_o they_o and_o such_o alehouse_n as_o be_v convenient_o place_v for_o the_o refresh_n of_o the_o poor_a traveller_n aught_o to_o have_v all_o due_a encouragement_n my_o endeavour_n here_o be_v only_o to_o show_v the_o abuse_n occasion_v by_o the_o multitude_n of_o unnecessary_a alehouse_n which_o if_o consider_v will_v be_v find_v a_o great_a waist_n indeed_o i_o will_v take_v the_o least_o to_o number_n by_o and_o be_v it_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v but_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o house_n that_o sell_v ale_n and_o beer_n beside_o tavern_n another_o waist_n which_o if_o consider_v will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a impediment_n to_o common_a good_a but_o with_o they_o at_o this_o time_n i_o will_v not_o meddle_v and_o what_o be_v spend_v in_o they_o the_o one_o half_n shall_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o waste_v which_o every_o drunkard_n in_o a_o sober_a fit_n will_v allow_v now_o then_o grant_v but_o this_o that_o each_o alehouse_n one_o with_o another_o do_v sell_v but_o two_o barrel_n weekly_o in_o this_o i_o take_v the_o least_o and_o that_o each_o barrel_n have_v three_o bushel_n of_o barley_n malt_n and_o each_o bushel_n worth_a three_o shilling_n and_o four_o penny_n and_o this_o be_v the_o charge_n before_o it_o come_v to_o
