 Agriculture ; and on new Sources of Trade,

 manufacturers and sailors, and super- 

 abounding in soldiers and ministers of

 and, generally, the countries that sell some, 

 buy more than they sell. The great bread

 sells ; and, at the same time, it is a happi- 

 ness to her that she is superior in the 

 number and the excellency of her manu- 

 facturers ; who, with her sailors^ are the 

 more desirable mere consumers of bread, 

 giving support to a constant good market, 

 at home, for the corn, the meat, the wool, 

 and generally all the productions of her 

 land ; so that England abounds in the ne- 

 cessaries and comforts of life, within her- 

 self, from a well proportioned employment
