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.
