to_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o trade_n first_o therefore_o the_o labourer_n live_v general_o but_o from_o hand_n to_o mouth_n and_o indeed_o consider_v as_o labourer_n in_o order_n to_o trade_n may_v well_o enough_o carry_v on_o their_o part_n if_o they_o have_v but_o money_n enough_o to_o buy_v victual_n clothes_n and_o tool_n all_o which_o may_v very_o well_o be_v provide_v without_o any_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n lie_v still_o in_o their_o hand_n the_o labourer_n therefore_o be_v usual_o pay_v once_o a_o week_n if_o the_o time_n of_o payment_n be_v seldomer_n there_o must_v be_v more_o money_n for_o the_o carry_v on_o this_o part_n of_o trade_n we_o may_v suppose_v there_o be_v constant_o among_o they_o one_o with_o another_o or_o those_o who_o be_v to_o pay_v they_o always_o one_o week_n wage_n in_o ready_a money_n for_o it_o can_v be_v think_v that_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o labourer_n pay_v away_o all_o their_o wage_n constant_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o receive_v it_o and_o live_v upon_o trust_n till_o next_o pay_v day_n this_o the_o farmer_n and_o tradesman_n can_v not_o well_o bear_v be_v it_o every_o labourer_n case_n and_o every_o one_o to_o be_v trust_v and_o therefore_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n keep_v some_o money_n in_o their_o hand_n to_o go_v to_o market_n for_o victual_n and_o to_o other_o tradesman_n as_o poor_a as_o themselves_o for_o
