for_o that_o great_a one_o of_o kill_a cattle_n young_a and_o only_a grass-fed_n i_o know_v none_o so_o effectual_a as_o introduce_v a_o general_a custom_n of_o use_v ox_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o draught_n which_o will_v be_v perhaps_o the_o great_a improvement_n that_o can_v be_v make_v in_o many_o kind_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n by_o this_o mean_v the_o great_a slaughter_n will_v be_v make_v of_o fullgrown_a large_a and_o well-wintered_n cattle_n which_o will_v double_v the_o income_n make_v by_o hide_n tallow_n and_o beef_n and_o raise_v their_o credit_n in_o all_o foreign_a market_n every_o man_n will_v be_v force_v to_o provide_v winter-fodder_n for_o his_o teem_n whereas_o common_a garrans_a shift_n upon_o grass_n the_o year_n round_o and_o this_o will_v force_v man_n to_o the_o enclose_v of_o ground_n and_o improve_n bog_n into_o meadow_n the_o race_n of_o garrans_n will_v decrease_v and_o so_o make_v room_n for_o the_o country_n maintain_v the_o great_a number_n of_o cattle_n which_o make_v a_o foreign_a commodity_n though_o they_o die_v by_o accident_n or_o age_n whereas_o the_o other_o make_v none_o at_o all_o no_o great_a or_o useful_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v achieve_v without_o difficulty_n and_o therefore_o what_o may_v be_v raise_v against_o this_o proposal_n ought_v not_o to_o discourage_v the_o attempt_v it_o first_o the_o statute_n against_o that_o barbarous_a custom_n of_o plough_v by_o the_o tail_n aught_o to_o be_v renew_v and_o upon_o absolute_a forfeiture_n instead_o of_o penalty_n the_o constant_a and_o easy_a composition_n whereof_o have_v prove_v rather_o a_o allow_v than_o forbid_v it_o now_o if_o this_o be_v whole_o disuse_v the_o harness_n for_o horse_n be_v dear_a than_o for_o ox_n the_o irish_a will_v turn_v their_o draught_n to_o the_o last_o wherever_o they_o have_v hitherto_o use_v the_o plough_v by_o the_o tayl._n next_o a_o standard_n may_v be_v make_v under_o which_o no_o horse_n shall_v be_v use_v for_o draught_n this_o will_v not_o only_o enlarge_v the_o breed_n of_o horse_n but_o make_v way_n for_o the_o use_n of_o ox_n because_o they_o will_v be_v cheap_a keep_v than_o large_a good_a horse_n which_o can_v not_o be_v winter_v like_o garrans_n without_o house_n or_o fodder_n and_o last_o a_o tax_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o every_o horse_n of_o draught_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n which_o

which_o will_v be_v beat_v down_o in_o foreign_a market_n by_o ireland_n if_o they_o come_v to_o kill_v all_o their_o cattle_n at_o home_n the_o young_a irish_a cattle_n serve_v for_o the_o common_a

dublin_n july_n 22_o d_o 1673_o a_o essay_n upon_o the_o advancement_n of_o trade_n in_o ireland_n my_o lord_n i_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v that_o fall_v into_o discourse_n other_o day_n and_o
