unto_o his_o grace_n his_o majesty_n high_a commissioner_n and_o the_o honourable_a estate_n of_o parliament_n the_o collector_n of_o the_o poll_n impose_v anno_fw-la 1693._o humble_o show_v that_o

this_o be_v a_o new_a imposition_n both_o as_o to_o the_o subject_a and_o way_n of_o uplift_v and_o diffuse_v over_o all_o the_o nation_n and_o we_o be_v desirous_a to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n therein_o prevail_v at_o the_o roup_n by_o offer_v forty_o four_o thousand_o one_o hundred_o pound_v sterling_n therefore_o and_o get_v a_o tack_v thereof_o whereby_o we_o be_v to_o have_v the_o

majesty_n first_o sist_v execution_n for_o the_o tack-duty_n and_o then_o with_o consent_n of_o parliament_n turn_v the_o tack_v of_o the_o say_a pole_n into_o a_o collection_n by_o the_o act_n turn_v the_o tack_v into_o a_o collection_n the_o reason_n for_o so_o do_v express_v in_o the_o act_n be_v that_o the_o levy_n of_o money_n by_o pole_n be_v new_a and_o the_o country_n and_o other_o

which_o have_v visible_o tend_v to_o the_o great_a oppression_n and_o disturbance_n of_o the_o hail_o kingdom_n therefore_o his_o majesty_n and_o estate_n of_o parliament_n liberate_v we_o from_o the_o foresay_a tack_v and_o ordain_v we_o to_o compt_n as_o collector_n and_o give_v a_o commission_n to_o the_o honaurable_a person_n therein_o name_v to_o take_v in_o our_o account_n &_o

travel_n prepare_v and_o present_v a_o report_n to_o the_o parliament_n in_o two_o point_n whereof_o we_o be_v principal_o concern_v the_o first_o be_v whether_o our_o expense_n ought_v to_o be_v allow_v to_o we_o conform_v to_o the_o account_n we_o have_v offer_v and_o second_o whether_o we_o can_v be_v further_a liable_a for_o the_o vintuple_n then_o for_o ommission_n and_o concealment_n of_o our_o own_o intromission_n but_o not_o for_o the_o vintuple_n of_o the_o concealment_n of_o our_o subcollector_n for_o which_o they_o themselves_o as_o the_o person_n guilty_a ought_v only_o to_o be_v liable_a as_o to_o the_o first_o point_n we_o humble_o conceive_v that_o our_o expense_n can_v be_v refuse_v because_o our_o tack_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o collection_n not_o upon_o our_o account_n alone_o but_o upon_o the_o just_a ground_n represent_v in_o the_o act_n and_o we_o make_v collector_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o if_o we_o have_v be_v appoint_v collector_n from_o the_o beginning_n in_o which_o case_n it_o be_v unquestionable_a that_o where_o a_o tack_v be_v louse_v and_o turn_v to_o a_o collection_n in_o the_o same_o tacksmens_n hand_n we_o be_v in_o the_o same_o case_n as_o if_o we_o have_v be_v always_o collector_n and_o never_o tacksman_n and_o so_o by_o the_o foresay_a act_n 1693_o impose_v the_o poll_n the_o lord_n of_o their_o majesty_n privy_a council_n be_v impower_v to_o allow_v out_o of_o the_o say_a poll_n money_n such_o charge_n and_o expense_n as_o shall_v be_v necessary_a for_o execution_n of_o that_o act._n and_o therefore_o conform_v to_o the_o say_a power_n it_o be_v humble_o expect_v from_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o parliament_n that_o our_o expense_n and_o charge_n will_v be_v allow_v we_o 2do._n by_o the_o act_n appoint_v we_o collector_n the_o commissioner_n therein_o name_v be_v impower_v to_o allow_v or_o not_o allow_v our_o expense_n for_o inbringing_a of_o the_o poll_n as_o they_o shall_v see_v cause_n which_o clear_o import_v that_o our_o expense_n be_v still_o under_o consideration_n and_o the_o allow_v only_o delay_v till_o our_o diligence_n and_o pain_n shall_v appear_v 3_o tio_fw-la the_o report_n bear_v that_o the_o commission_n find_v that_o the_o expense_n of_o uplift_v what_o remain_v of_o the_o poll_n will_v exhaust_v what_o can_v be_v recover_v and_o see_v what_o remain_v be_v farm_a at_o 6000_o lib_n sterling_n we_o have_v uplift_v 24000_o lib_n sterling_n and_o the_o whole_a be_v farm_a be_v the_o officer_n for_o 30000_o lib_n sterling_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o can_v not_o uplift_v 24000_o lib_n whereof_o a_o part_n from_o each_o person_n in_o the_o nation_n without_o vast_a expense_n beside_o the_o expense_n of_o our_o application_n at_o court_n attend_v parliament_n and_o the_o commission_n these_o several_a year_n and_o otherways_o see_v the_o 6000_o lib_n can_v not_o be_v uplift_v for_o its_o value_n and_o upon_o which_o ground_n we_o refuse_v to_o farm_n the_o poll_n at_o the_o minimum_fw-la and_o so_o the_o officer_n who_o have_v the_o right_a thereto_o and_o can_v be_v in_o no_o hazard_n take_v the_o same_o at_o that_o rate_n 4_o to_o though_o the_o officer_n have_v the_o farm_n their_o many_o year_n yet_o after_o all_o their_o diligence_n they_o have_v recover_v little_a except_o from_o such_o shire_n as_o be_v total_o deficient_a to_o we_o we_o be_v turn_v from_o tacks-man_n to_o collector_n not_o from_o mere_a grace_n and_o favour_n to_o ourselves_o but_o upon_o plain_a and_o necessary_a ground_n of_o justice_n relate_v in_o the_o act_n viz_o that_o levy_v of_o money_n by_o poll_n be_v new_a and_o that_o the_o country_n have_v fail_v in_o observe_v the_o rule_v prescribe_v whereby_o we_o be_v not_o only_o blameless_a but_o in_o effect_n wrong_v by_o our_o tack_n not_o be_v observe_v and_o fulfil_v to_o we_o 2do_fw-la the_o act_n do_v further_a acknowledge_v that_o the_o country_n have_v incur_v the_o quadruple_n and_o that_o these_o quadruple_n be_v due_a to_o we_o and_o which_o if_o we_o have_v exact_v we_o can_v have_v pay_v the_o whole_a tack-duty_n so_o that_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n have_v discharge_v these_o quadruple_n which_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o our_o tack_v it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o tack_v be_v turn_v to_o a_o collection_n for_o a_o most_o onerous_a cause_n upon_o our_o part_n and_o so_o consequent_o we_o fall_v all_o our_o expense_n and_o charge_n and_o if_o there_o be_v place_n to_o bring_v back_o the_o question_n we_o may_v just_o demand_v salary_n for_o our_o pain_n it_o be_v know_v that_o when_o several_a tack_n set_v by_o the_o thesaurie_n and_o exchequer_n have_v be_v turn_v to_o a_o collection_n and_o the_o tacksman_n appoint_v collector_n they_o get_v not_o only_o their_o charge_n but_o salary_n and_o we_o can_v be_v jealous_a nor_o apprehend_v from_o so_o just_a a_o parliament_n that_o our_o tack_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o collection_n not_o for_o our_o
