without_o infringe_v or_o interfere_v on_o the_o painful_a husbandmen_n labour_n or_o with_o the_o woolen_n manufacture_n or_o any_o other_o which_o will_v prove_v a_o desperate_a wound_n instead_o

by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v put_v into_o our_o hand_n if_o we_o will_v lift_v they_o to_o our_o mouth_n though_o for_o our_o ingratitude_n to_o heaven_n our_o stuborn_v blindness_n sloth_n

the_o mystery_n to_o the_o explicate_a of_o which_o i_o humble_o offer_v the_o follow_a proposition_n or_o supposition_n first_o that_o english_a man_n be_v furnish_v with_o buss_n and_o net_n will_v be_v allow_v as_o capable_a to_o catch_v fish_n and_o eat_v they_o without_o any_o hardship_n as_o well_o as_o the_o hollander_n or_o any_o other_o nation_n and_o in_o many_o respect_v we_o have_v natural_o the_o advantage_n of_o they_o or_o any_o other_o people_n for_o the_o trade_n and_o business_n second_o that_o those_o english_a man_n that_o have_v not_o wherewith_o to_o buy_v meat_n the_o case_n of_o too_o many_o poor_a honest_a work_a family_n in_o this_o town_n will_v think_v it_o a_o happiness_n to_o be_v feed_v with_o wholesome_a fish_n bread_n and_o root_n which_o without_o

three_o it_o will_v be_v likewise_o grant_v that_o man_n be_v now_o furnish_v with_o buss_n net_n and_o other_o necessary_n for_o fish_v under_o a_o due_a regulation_n at_o a_o public_a charge_n have_v the_o same_o mean_n to_o live_v the_o same_o tool_n to_o work_n with_o for_o the_o support_n of_o themselves_o and_o family_n as_o our_o fore_a father_n have_v though_o on_o much_o better_a and_o easy_a term_n and_o may_v without_o doubt_n live_v and_o thrive_v as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v under_o great_a difficulty_n and_o this_o without_o any_o fish_n transport_v if_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o fish_n at_o home_o will_v either_o but_o or_o barter_n for_o bread_n meat_n clothes_n fire_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_n four_o that_o naturaly_a there_o be_v but_o three_o way_n for_o all_o mankind_n to_o get_v a_o live_n which_o be_v either_o plant_v and_o sow_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n hunt_v wild_a beast_n or_o devour_v one_o another_o or_o catch_v fish_n it_o be_v presume_v the_o three_o king_n only_o can_v be_v applicable_a to_o this_o matter_n for_o in_o the_o first_o people_n of_o all_o colony_n there_o first_o care_n must_v be_v to_o clear_v the_o ground_n of_o tree_n to_o plant_v food_n for_o their_o own_o sustenance_n before_o they_o can_v arrive_v to_o great_a thing_n so_o original_o in_o the_o first_o plant_v of_o fish_v colony_n they_o be_v begin_v by_o only_o fish_v for_o food_n and_o raise_v by_o their_o redundancy_n who_o by_o furnish_v other_o that_o want_v have_v in_o exchange_n or_o barter_n all_o other_o necessary_n first_o afterward_o all_o manner_n of_o superfluity_n till_o in_o time_n they_o acquire_v great_a riches_n dignity_n and_o dominion_n this_o be_v the_o natural_a rise_n progress_n and_o ultimate_v of_o all_o fishery_n and_o probable_o as_o they_o be_v all_o thus_o raise_v by_o degree_n there_o may_v be_v no_o other_o mean_n possible_a to_o revive_v and_o raise_v our_o lose_a and_o decay_a fishery_n but_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n it_o be_v a_o subject_a of_o the_o great_a wonder_n to_o foreigner_n and_o shame_n and_o indignity_n to_o ourselves_o that_o english_a man_n can_v beg_v or_o want_v work_n who_o may_v have_v fish_n for_o catch_v root_n and_o pulse_n for_o plant_v clothes_n for_o spin_v etc._n etc._n yet_o this_o be_v too_o easy_o answer_v they_o can_v do_v this_o without_o tool_n not_o purchase_v they_o without_o money_n nor_o be_v employ_v by_o those_o that_o have_v both_o it_o be_v far_o presume_v that_o wholesome_a food_n warm_a clothes_n and_o hut_n to_o secure_v from_o cold_a and_o
