A90754	The profitable intelligencer, communicating his knowledge for the generall good of the common-wealth and all posterity. Containing many rare secrets and experiments (having reference to a larger book) which being well observed, and industriously practised, according to the directions therein by all the inhabitants of England in generall, will recover the wealth of the kingdom now so miserably wasted by these unnaturall wars, and make it the most flourishing countrey in the world, and cause more naked to be clothed, more hungry to be fed, more poore virgins to be preferred in marriage, more sick to be healed, then Suttons Hospitall the Savoy, and all the hospitals and liberall gifts in England have ever performed, by certain wayes which require no charge nor labour, but what every active person shall be double payed for. A copie of the letter, wherein the discourse entituled, Mercurius Lætificans, was sent enclosed to the authors most worthy, and highly honoured friend, Mr. Samuel Hartlib.

consent_v to_o put_v to_o their_o help_a hand_n to_o this_o commendable_a design_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o book_n consist_v in_o show_v how_o this_o kingdom_n may_v maintain_v double_a the_o number_n

the_o fatness_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n may_v yield_v a_o considerable_a retribution_n yearly_a without_o any_o man_n prejudice_n so_o that_o the_o fertility_n of_o the_o country_n need_v not_o
