Plan pour assister, corriger, & emploier tous les pauvres de la Grande Bretagne Par le moien d'une loi générale que l'on propose de subsistuer à trente autres qui sont actuellemont en force. Par Ce nouvel arrangement on pourvoit à l'entretien de rous les pauvres qui sont hors d'état de travailler; on fournit de l'Ouvrage à tous ceux qui peuvent le faire; on emploie ces derniers aux choses où ils sont les plus propres; on fait concourir au bien public de l'etat le bien particulier qu'on leur fair en les occupant; Et enfin on met tous les pauvres, de quelque ordre qu'ils soient, dans une situation où il ne leur sera, ni necessaire, ni permis demainder. On répond en passant, aux objections les plus considerables que l'on peut faire contre ce projet, en attendant que dans un ouvrage à part, qui paroîtra bien-tôt, on y donne un réponse plus érendue.

A proposal for relieving, reforming and employing all the poor of Great Britain , by vertue of one desired general law, relating to the poor, instead of thirty statutes, now in force, concerning the premises. And Hereby All these Poor, who thro' Infancy, Age, or Infirmities, are Incapable of Labour, will be comfortably Maintain'd, and none then Obliged, or Permitted to beg: And all our Capable Poor, will be Profitably Employ'd, for the Common Good of both King and Kingdom. And the most material Objections rais'd, against this Proposal. And a full Answer, to all those Objections, will be shortly publish'd.

An abstract of the draught of a bill for relieving, reforming, and employing the poor; pursuant to a new discourse upon this subject . And in this newly propos'd scheme, for employing the now chargeable and unprofitable proof Britains, they probably may (after some few years) get six millions sterling per annum more (in local and universal wealth) than the like number of such men, women and children (as to age and infermity's) now get, in any part of Europe. To which is prefix'd, a brief account of three several bills, for the relief employment, and settlement of the poor, which, in 1704, the Right Honourable the House of Lords then order'd to be printed and published. The first of these, then had pass'd the House of Commons: the second was drawn by some of the then judges: the third was drawn by the then Lord Commissiners of trade.

The miseries of the poor are a national sin, shame, and charge: but by making them happy, we shall pay old debts without new taxes . In passing one effectual law concerning the poor: by Whom (when reformed and judiciously employ'd) we may justly pay off (within twenty years) all our national debts. And from the then numbers, arts, industry, sabriety, courage, discipline and loyalty of the poor (When under the regular management of one loyal corporation, for ail Great-Britain) we shall farther receie, much greater benefits, than paying off these debts and taxes. A due care of the poor is an act of great piety towards Almighty God, an act of the greatest humanity among men, and of great civil [jurispr]udence and political wisdom relation to the state-as things now are, our po...ulousness (which might ... made the greatest ...lessing a kingdom can ...ave) becomes a burden to the nation; by breeding up whole races, families, and generations, in a mere trade on ... thieving, and begging, and a em...ous kind of life; which must in time prodi... ously increase, and over ... whole face of the Kingdom, and eat out the very heart thereof. Lord Chief Justice Hale, in 1670. Upon employing the poor.

The regular-government, and judicious-employment of the poor , the most probable means of raising and securing publick-credit, because the rich will be thereby made, both able, and willing, to give credit to the publick. In the second part will be humbly propos'd, a Parliamentary-fund, for ten millions, sterling, or more, in Exchequer-bisis, and without land-tax, or new imposition. And one hundred pounds therein, shall become more valuable, than so much in gold or silver; and, at pleasure, convertable into money; and hereby some thousands of South-Sea-sufferers may be reliev'd, and thereby Parliamentary-credit, very much advanced.
