second_o the_o novelty_n of_o this_o proposition_n do_v not_o render_v it_o impracticable_a for_o the_o subject_a nor_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v never_o experiment_a nor_o so_o much_o as_o propound_v before_o that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v propound_v now_o and_o practise_v hereafter_o if_o upon_o due_a and_o serious_a consideration_n have_v thereupon_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v

without_o much_o difficulty_n make_v it_o appear_v by_o a_o induction_n of_o particular_n be_v it_o needful_a and_o not_o too_o much_o reflect_v upon_o interest_v men._n as_o to_o the_o parliament_n the_o way_n propose_v will_v enable_v they_o to_o see_v what_o they_o have_v give_v to_o his_o majesty_n by_o this_o or_o that_o aid_n and_o to_o determine_v upon_o view_n thereof_o whether_o it_o

that_o do_v or_o shall_v trust_v his_o majesty_n in_o the_o navy_n army_n or_o household_n if_o this_o way_n of_o assignation_n for_o their_o respective_a debt_n be_v vigorous_o put_v into_o
