ther go to the butchers' shops and
receive what they want without money, or else go to the flocks of
sheep or herds of cattle, and take and kill what meat is needful
for their families, without buying and selling. The reason why all
the riches of the Earth are a Common Stock is this: Because the
Earth and the labors thereupon are managed by common assistance of
every family, without buying and selling, as is shown more largely
in the Office of Overseers for Trades and the Law for Storehouses.
The Laws for the right ordering thereof, and the Officers to see
