Oct. 3, 1633 : " It is agreed that the best sort of laborers shall not take above eighteen-pence a day, if they diet themselves ; and not above eightpence a day, if they have diet found them. Further, it is ordered that all workmen shall work the whole day, allowing conven- ient time for food and rest." ■...Nov. 8, 1633: "Ordered that no persons shall sell to any of the inhabitants within this jurisdiction any provision, clothing, tools, or other commodities, above the rate of fourpence in a shilling more than the same cost, or might be bought for ready money, in England."
