     summary: Rich. 2. The Tribute called Danegelt , was paid in the time of the English Saxons , which amounted to four Shillings upon every Hide of Land , for the Defending the Dominion by Sea. Roger Hoverden asserteth it was paid until the Reign of King Stephen ; and in the Parliament Records of King Richard the Second , it is Observable that a Custom was Imposed upon every thing that passed thro' the Northern Admiralty ; that is , from the , Thames along the Eastern-Shoar of England , towards the North-East , for the Maintaining a Guard for the Seas . And beyond all Dispute , the Fishery of England , is the Main Trade of this Kingdom , rightly Managed ; The good Patriots of our Country are to weigh the Matter : And it is so comprehensive a Blessing , that were those Advantages but Industriously improved , that Providence hath bestowed on this Island , we might consequently be the most Flourishing People in the whole World , both by Sea and Land. And seeing by the Decay of the Fishing Trade , we have lain open to France , and Holland , by neglecting our own Preservation , and ill Management of the Fishery amongst our selves , it may be supposed , it is high time to look to it .

     summary: Reader , it seems something difficult to determine whether the Sophistication of Truths , or the Fucus of Errors hath of late years been the more Epidemical cheat in Print , it being sufficiently notorious how that adulterous generation went a whoring after the Press , and what a noisome spawn of illegitimate Brats were then generated of the froth of the brain , not less numerous then spurious , that neither their male-content Parents , nor Religion , Law , Reason , nor Charity are able to maintain . He that writes Politicks without prefixing his Principles , comes short of his Duty ; But he that writes Law without quoting his Authority , presumes beyond his Line ; he that blushes to be ingenious , is ashamed of his own modesty ; Plato borrowed many things from Pythagoras ; Aristotle from Plato , and Theophrastus from Aristotle ; This Treatise hath borrowed nothing but what it intends to pay , here 's the acknowledgement of the debt , full satisfaction with interest may be expected elsewhere , sufficient Caution being given in the subsequent Elenchus of the Creditours .
