A89257	The crying sin of England, of not caring for the poor. Wherein inclosure, viz. such as doth unpeople townes, and uncorn fields, is arraigned, convicted, and condemned by the Word of God. Being the chief heads of two sermons, preached at the lecture at Lutterworth in Leicester-shire in May last, and now published in love to Christ, his country, and the poor.

to_o the_o world_n to_o be_v notorious_a make-begger_n as_o woeful_a experience_n and_o my_o whole_a country_n of_o leicester-shire_n with_o most_o of_o the_o inland_a county_n can_v witness_v with_o i_o question_v many_o of_o our_o beggar_n that_o go_v from_o door_n to_o door_n with_o wife_n and_o child_n after_o they_o where_o they_o dwell_v and_o why_o they_o go_v a_o beg_n alas_o master_n say_v they_o we_o be_v force_v out_o of_o such_o a_o town_n when_o it_o be_v enclose_v and_o since_o we_o have_v continue_v a_o generation_n of_o beggar_n when_o we_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o poor_a in_o market_n town_n and_o fielden_a town_n we_o see_v how_o these_o poor_a wretch_n be_v drive_v out_o of_o their_o hive_n their_o honey_n take_v away_o i_o mean_v their_o trade_n of_o plough_v by_o such_o enclosure_n and_o glad_a be_v they_o to_o find_v a_o old_a house_n any_o where_n to_o put_v their_o head_n in_o where_o they_o may_v have_v any_o employment_n to_o keep_v themselves_o and_o family_n alive_a but_o to_o deal_v punctual_o with_o they_o for_o they_o be_v ashamed_a of_o their_o make-begger_n trade_n i_o must_v charge_v they_o home_o they_o make_v

i_o shall_v begin_v with_o they_o first_o and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o four_o and_o here_o for_o a_o ground_n work_v we_o must_v lay_v this_o undeniable_a truth_n viz._n that_o the_o great_a manufacture_n and_o trade_n of_o leicester-shire_n and_o many_o if_o not_o most_o of_o the_o inland_a county_n be_v tillage_n it_o be_v the_o plough_n whereby_o tenant_n cottyer_n and_o their_o child_n be_v set_v a_o work_n &_o live_v very_o happy_o and_o comfortable_o before_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o such_o enclosure_n other_o county_n have_v other_o manufacture_n and_o trade_n for_o the_o commonalty_n we_o tillage_n and_o the_o plough_n whereby_o we_o breed_v multitude_n of_o hard_a man_n and_o horse_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o common_a wealth_n if_o need_v be_v whereby_o we_o also_o send_v forth_o abundance_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o corn_n and_o grain_n and_o pease-fed_n cattle_n to_o the_o city_n to_o victual_v our_o ship_n at_o sea_n and_o to_o country_n round_a about_o we_o all_o feed_v with_o the_o blow_n in_o the_o common_a field_n first_o they_o make_v beggar_n of_o tenant_n upon_o such_o enclosure_n for_o the_o tenant_n forthwith_o be_v discharge_v of_o tillage_n and_o farm_n to_o seek_v a_o live_n he_o know_v not_o where_o true_o it_o will_v make_v a_o charitable_a heart_n bleed_v to_o come_v now_o into_o our_o market_n where_o we_o be_v now_o so_o busy_a upon_o such_o enclosure_n in_o leicester-shire_n where_o the_o market_n be_v full_a of_o inquiry_n and_o complaint_n of_o such_o tenant_n to_o all_o they_o meet_v can_v you_o help_v i_o to_o a_o farm_n or_o a_o little_a land_n to_o employ_v my_o team_n i_o be_o discharge_v and_o if_o i_o sell_v my_o horse_n and_o cattle_n i_o shall_v never_o get_v a_o team_n again_o or_o so_o many_o milk-cowes_n to_o maintain_v my_o family_n alas_o all_o my_o money_n will_v be_v spend_v that_o i_o shall_v sell_v they_o for_o ere_o i_o shall_v hear_v of_o any_o land_n to_o be_v set_v and_o in_o some_o town_n there_o be_v fourteen_o sixteen_o or_o twenty_o tenant_n discharge_v of_o plough_v all_o in_o this_o sad_a condition_n beside_o many_o other_o team_n and_o farm_n of_o freeholder_a lay_v down_o in_o the_o same_o to_n and_o herein_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o the_o tenant_n the_o great_a those_o that_o have_v thus_o uncorn_v the_o say_v town_n and_o turn_v all_o into_o pasture_n and_o discharge_v their_o tenant_n these_o thus_o enclose_a wretch_n become_v tenant_n themselves_o and_o rend_v land_n in_o the_o open_a field_n round_o about_o they_o or_o near_o unto_o they_o to_o maintain_v their_o own_o family_n with_o corn_n and_o their_o horse_n with_o feed_v for_o which_o l●nd_n they_o give_v be_v able_a to_o pay_v it_o out_o of_o their_o enclose_a ground_n excessive_a rate_n which_o if_o the_o poor_a tenant_n shall_v give_v heand_v his_o must_v forthwith_o come_v to_o beggary_n so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o turn_v these_o poor_a tenant_n out_o of_o enclose_a town_n but_o also_o rend_v those_o farm_n and_o that_o land_n in_o the_o common_a field_n which_o the_o poor_a tenant_n else_o may_v have_v rent_v at_o a_o easy_a rate_n so_o that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n most_o of_o these_o tenant_n become_v cottier_n and_o now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o shall_v true_o show_v you_o how_o they_o make_v cottier_n beggar_n in_o these_o enclose_a town_n in_o lay_v down_o the_o plough_n and_o take_v away_o the_o crop_n of_o corn_n how_o many_o crop_n do_v they_o rob_v the_o poor_a cottier_n of_o this_o poor_a man_n have_v a_o crop_n and_o income_n in_o every_o tilth_n of_o the_o plough_n in_o the_o follow_a tilth_n in_o the_o stir_a tilth_n in_o the_o air_n up_o tilth_n in_o the_o sow_a tilth_n he_o have_v his_o income_n in_o the_o manure_n weed_n mow_v in_v glean_v and_o thresh_v of_o the_o corn_n and_o now_o alas_o say_v the_o poor_a cottier_n there_o be_v no_o work_n for_o i_o i_o need_v not_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o the_o town_n i_o must_v be_v go_v where_o i_o may_v get_v my_o live_n and_o if_o i_o can_v get_v no_o house_n else_o where_o ay_o and_o i_o must_v starve_v and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o open_a fielden_a town_n have_v above_o double_a the_o number_n of_o cottier_n they_o have_v wont_a to_o have_v so_o that_o they_o can_v live_v one_o by_o another_o and_o so_o put_v the_o fielden_a town_n to_o vast_a expense_n in_o care_v for_o those_o poor_a that_o these_o enclosure_n have_v make_v and_o what_o inquire_v every_o where_o be_v there_o of_o these_o poor_a cottier_n after_o the_o town_n be_v enclose_v to_o get_v a_o house_n in_o any_o place_n where_o they_o may_v have_v work_n three_o such_o enclosure_n make_v beggar_n of_o the_o child_n both_o of_o tenant_n and_o cottier_n the_o child_n of_o both_o usual_o become_v servant_n to_o the_o husbandman_n and_o bring_v up_o at_o the_o plough_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o in_o such_o enclose_a town_n where_o there_o be_v keep_v 30_o 40_o 50._o servant_n there_o be_v not_o above_o three_o or_o four_o hence_o the_o drove_n of_o poor_a child_n when_o they_o be_v reprove_v for_o beg_v be_v complain_v we_o will_v willing_o work_v if_o any_o will_v set_v we_o on_o work_n in_o brief_a be_v it_o not_o palpable_a that_o the_o main_a inducement_n to_o such_o enclosure_n be_v filthy_a lucre_n and_o to_o be_v rid_v of_o tenant_n poor_a and_o servant_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o care_v for_o the_o poor_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o bring_v they_o into_o their_o house_n to_o rid_v they_o of_o their_o house_n as_o for_o example_n they_o be_v hot_a upon_o such_o enclosure_n in_o a_o town_n i_o be_o well_o acquaint_v with_o one_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n give_v this_o reason_n why_o they_o must_v do_v it_o in_o these_o word_n viz._n the_o poor_a increase_n like_o flea_n and_o lice_n and_o these_o vermin_n will_v eat_v we_o up_o unless_o we_o enclose_v and_o sure_o it_o be_v plain_a deal_n for_o without_o question_n he_o speak_v the_o sense_n of_o most_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o they_o will_v plead_v when_o we_o in_o close_a we_o give_v somewhat_o to_o the_o poor_a answer_n just_a judas_n like_v the_o poot_n be_v as_o much_o respect_v by_o judas_n as_o any_o of_o they_o this_o they_o say_v not_o that_o they_o care_v for_o the_o poor_a it_o be_v as_o unseemly_a for_o these_o to_o take_v
