Humbly presented to the higher powers : begging some angelicall ordinance, for the speedy abating of the prises of corne, without which, the ruine of many thousands (in humane judgment) is inevitable. In all humility propounding, that the readiest way is a suppression or regulation of innes and ale-houses, where halfe the barley is wasted in excesse : proving them by law to be all in a præmunire, and the grand concernment, that none which have been notoriously disaffected, and enemies to common honesty and civility, should sell any wine, strong ale, or beere, but others to be licensed by a committee in every county, upon recommendation of the minister, and such of the inhabitants in every parish, where need requires, that have been faithfull to the publike. Wherein there is a hue-and-cry against drunkards, as the most dangerous antinomians : and against ingrossers, to make a dearth, and cruell misers, which are the caterpillars and bane of this kingdome. /By John Cooke, of Graies Inne, barresterLondon Printed for Matthew Walbancke at Grayes Inne Gate1648[2], 74 pAnnotation on Thomason copy: "Febr.1."; the 8 in imprint date crossed out and date altered to 1647.Reproduction of the original in the British Library.eebo-0018Grain tradeEnglandPricesEarly works to 1800PoorEnglandEarly works to 1800Taverns (Inns)Law and legislationGreat BritainEarly works to 1800Bars (Drinking establishments)Law and legislationGreat BritainEarly works to 1800Grain tradePricesPoorTaverns (Inns)Law and legislationBars (Drinking establishments)Law and legislationCook Johnd. 1660.1001635Cu-RivESCu-RivESCStRLINWaOLNBOOK996386988803316Unum necessarium: or, The poore mans case2351890UNISA
