imploying many Journymen and Artificers under<lb></lb>

without minding how fast the score rises upon them,<lb></lb>
whereby at the weeks, end, they find themselves,<lb></lb>
without any Surplusage to carry home to their family<lb></lb>
which of course must starve or be thrown on the parish<lb></lb>
And this Evil (wherein the Masters perhaps may find<lb></lb>

their Workmens Wages) will naturally go on increasing<lb></lb>
and extend to most other Trades, where numbers of<lb></lb>
Workmen are imployed, your Comittee apprehend, it<lb></lb>
