First, Comfortably to maintain all those, whose Infancy, Age, or Infirmities, render them incapable of Labour; so that no Poor Briton, may be then obliged or permitted to beg. Secondly, To reform the Profligate Poor. Thirdly, In the most beneficial Manner (for Great Britain's Common Good) to Employ all the capable Poor; so that Th'industrious may never want Work; and the Lazr Poor be Compelled to Labour. And, Lastly, To reduce our Payments to the Poor, which are now supposed to be Twelve Hundred Thousand Pounds per annum Charge to Great Britain -- But this Great Burden this Scheme proposeth Totally to discharge in Thirty Years. Hereunto is prefix'd, A Brief Account of what was done by both Lords and Commons in 1704, for reducing all Laws, relating to the Poor, into One General Bill -- And also herein is set forth, the principal Considerations, upon which this Scheme is grounded, and the Publick Benefits from thence proceeding. 000528200 260__ $$a[London] :$$bPrinted for the author,$$c[1717?] 000528200 300__ $$ax,[4],vii-xxiv,3-24p. ;$$c8⁰. 000528200 500__ $$aPrefatory epistle signed: Laurence Braddon. 000528200 500__ $$aDated on internal evidence. 000528200 500__ $$aThe reverse of the titlepage contains advertisements for books printed for R.
