A36104	A Discourse of the necessity of encouraging mechanick industry wherein is plainly proved that luxury and the want of artisans labour became the ruin of the four grand monarchies of the world in the former age, and of Spain and other countries in this : and the promoting of manual trades the rise of the Dutch, Germans, &c. : parallel'd and compared with, and shewn to be practicable under the present constitution of England.		1690 (1690)	Wing D1606; ESTC R12440	24,102	42

will_v not_o be_v so_o still_o and_o unconcerned_a upon_o this_o subject_a as_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v by_o our_o preposterous_a distribute_v of_o charity_n we_o seem_v to_o invert_v that_o of_o
