To end this point of Hempseed, thus in briefe
It helps a trueman, and it hangs a Theefe.
Rates, Imposts, Customes of the Custome-house
Would at the best rate scarce be worth a Louse:
Goods in and out, which dayly ships doe fraight,
By guesse, by tale, by measure and by weight.
Which yearely to such mighty summes amount,
In number numberlesse: or past account:
Were't not for Hempseed, it doth plaine appeare
These profits would not be a groat a yeare.
 

The names of many braue discouerers: Sir Richard Grinuile, Charles, Earle of Nottingham, Henry Earle of South-hampton.
