say_a bank_n it_o be_v also_o confess_v he_o have_v not_o the_o reward_n the_o same_o in_o every_o particular_a of_o the_o orphan_n fund_z only_o in_o the_o last_o he_o have_v some_o assurance_n to_o have_v 5_o per_fw-mi cent_z of_o the_o profit_n and_o further_o it_o be_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o agreement_n to_o have_v 2_o per_fw-mi cent_z out_o of_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o african_a

cent_z this_o be_v all_o know_v and_o confess_v now_o let_v we_o fair_o though_o not_o full_o examine_v this_o matter_n and_o first_o what_o may_v be_v think_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n do_v not_o give_v mr._n paterson_n the_o reward_n it_o be_v say_v on_o one_o side_n because_o he_o base_o betray_v they_o but_o by_o he_o that_o they_o be_v unjust_a etc._n etc._n but_o which_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v whither_o the_o 26_o director_n man_n of_o estate_n and_o man_n of_o esteem_n or_o mr._n paterson_n let_v every_o body_n judge_v as_o they_o please_v i_o will_v only_o say_v in_o it_o so_o much_o that_o he_o be_v believe_v in_o scotland_n and_o they_o in_o england_n and_o i_o will_v observe_v this_o that_o what_o ever_o we_o think_v of_o mr._n paterson_n in_o england_n and_o i_o speak_v it_o without_o detract_n from_o the_o merit_n of_o those_o worthy_a gentleman_n of_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n he_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n look_v upon_o to_o be_v a_o wise_a man_n and_o be_v abundant_o more_o popular_a here_o than_o all_o that_o court_n of_o director_n or_o the_o governor_n deputy_n and_o 24_o committee_n man_n of_o the_o english_a east-indian_a company_n be_v in_o england_n else_o why_o such_o a_o bustle_n all_o the_o kingdom_n over_o and_o so_o many_o new_a way_n for_o the_o set_n up_o a_o company_n for_o a_o foreign_a trade_n and_o by_o a_o implicit_a faith_n in_o mr._n paterson_n judgement_n and_o honesty_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o may_v inquire_v and_o tell_v what_o opinion_n both_o nation_n have_v of_o his_o set_n up_o the_o orphan_n fund_z in_o this_o kingdom_n it_o be_v all_o well_o and_o a_o act_n of_o merit_n and_o great_a ingenuity_n but_o in_o england_n it_o be_v look_v upon_o the_o direct_a contrary_n and_o as_o one_o great_a occasion_n of_o the_o present_a misery_n in_o the_o kingdom_n as_o for_o my_o particular_a opinion_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o confess_v what_o some_o have_v charge_v i_o with_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v if_o i_o have_v a_o brother_n that_o shall_v set_v up_o one_o bank_n against_o another_o and_o if_o i_o be_v judge_n i_o will_v hang_v he_o for_o his_o pain_n not_o that_o i_o will_v charge_v the_o many_o honest_a and_o ingenuous_a gentleman_n in_o that_o fund_z as_o adventurer_n or_o director_n of_o a_o crime_n for_o there_o be_v in_o england_n no_o restriction_n by_o law_n nor_o custom_n but_o most_o of_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o the_o consequence_n may_v be_v but_o if_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n have_v be_v so_o happy_a to_o have_v have_v a_o exclusive_a clause_n none_o will_v have_v dare_v to_o offer_v that_o affront_n to_o the_o parliament_n so_o much_o as_o to_o talk_v of_o set_v up_o another_o bank_n in_o the_o three_o place_n we_o may_v consider_v what_o love_n and_o zeal_n there_o be_v in_o this_o gentleman_n and_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o country_n in_o set_v up_o this_o indian_a and_o african_a company_n in_o scotland_n it_o be_v indeed_o think_v a_o great_a deal_n but_o even_o scotland_n itself_o who_o so_o adore_v he_o must_v confess_v that_o till_o he_o come_v down_o here_o the_o great_a certain_a and_o present_a reward_n the_o twelve_o thousand_o pound_n sterling_a out_o of_o the_o subscription_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o zeal_n for_o his_o country_n man_n good_a and_o by_o other_o it_o will_v be_v believe_v the_o money_n be_v much_o more_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o generous_a passion_n i_o can_v but_o smile_v while_o i_o be_o write_v this_o paragraph_n how_o very_o well_o this_o be_v take_v by_o many_o in_o this_o kingdom_n who_o if_o they_o consider_v and_o compare_v time_n and_o thing_n it_o be_v as_o plain_a as_o a_o mathematical_a demostration_n that_o there_o be_v self_n enough_o in_o the_o case_n and_o that_o he_o have_v carve_v for_o himself_o and_o his_o abettor_n without_o any_o hazard_n a_o bountiful_a portion_n of_o the_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n african_a stock_n but_o he_o have_v relinquish_v and_o stand_v now_o to_o the_o justice_n and_o generosity_n of_o the_o company_n or_o at_o least_o of_o the_o counsel_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o company_n of_o which_o i_o will_v say_v a_o word_n or_o two_o and_o it_o be_v that_o i_o observe_v not_o a_o voluntary_a act_n as_o to_o the_o will_n that_o mr._n paterson_n give_v up_o the_o 2_o per_fw-mi cent_z but_o by_o a_o downright_a necessity_n or_o else_o all_o must_v stop_v and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o in_o this_o particular_a the_o scot_n people_n be_v chief_o the_o occasion_n of_o his_o relinguish_v this_o certain_a reward_n but_o now_o he_o think_v he_o have_v contrive_v matter_n for_o his_o advantage_n better_a he_o have_v turn_v thing_n into_o a_o never_o before_o see_v method_n and_o so_o many_o engagement_n be_v lay_v upon_o particular_a person_n that_o those_o and_o he_o together_o hope_v to_o manage_v the_o council_n and_o director_n so_o as_o the_o thing_n may_v some_o way_n make_v good_a the_o former_a disapointment_n but_o they_o be_v most_o of_o they_o worthy_a gentleman_n and_o will_v not_o long_o be_v carry_v away_o by_o word_n without_o correspondent_a action_n man_n will_v in_o time_n consider_v the_o justice_n and_o equity_n of_o thing_n and_o their_o interest_n in_o reality_n the_o public_a &_o plausible_a name_n of_o a_o foreign_a trade_n

the_o nation_n long_o in_o a_o belief_n that_o this_o matter_n must_v be_v as_o great_a and_o profitable_a as_o be_v talk_v for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o drive_v a_o
