the_o commodity_n and_o thereby_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o maltster_n will_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v who_o be_v or_o who_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v with_o his_o

have_v fail_v in_o the_o world_n first_o then_o that_o this_o tax_n be_v universal_a the_o very_a name_n be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v of_o universal_a use_n in_o england_n for_o every_o person_n know_v what_o use_n be_v make_v of_o that_o grain_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n for_o my_o purpose_n therefore_o i_o need_v not_o trouble_v myself_o more_o on_o this_o head_n be_v what_o prove_v itself_o without_o call_v to_o its_o aid_n the_o help_n of_o either_o logic_n or_o rhetoric_n under_o one_o of_o which_o most_o fallacy_n be_v couch_v i_o will_v only_o

that_o it_o be_v even_o monstrous_a now_o to_o suppose_v that_o the_o use_v of_o this_o grain_n can_v be_v lay_v aside_o in_o england_n on_o almost_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o second_o that_o this_o tax_n be_v equal_a as_o i_o say_v before_o every_o person_n be_v charge_v with_o the_o like_a sum_n sure_o be_v not_o sufficient_a alone_o to_o make_v a_o tax_n equal_a therefore_o this_o tax_n which_o will_v effect_v every_o person_n though_o not_o with_o the_o like_a sum_n but_o proportion_v to_o every_o person_n be_v circumstance_n be_v equal_a as_o thus_o viz._n man_n of_o great_a

less_o and_o so_o of_o the_o mean_a person_n and_o this_o grain_n be_v of_o universal_a use_n in_o this_o nation_n and_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n prove_v plain_o that_o none_o can_v escape_v contribute_v towards_o this_o tax_n therefore_o every_o man_n will_v stand_v on_o a_o equal_a foot_n with_o his_o neighbour_n and_o none_o will_v have_v the_o least_o cause_n to_o complain_v or_o

himself_o so_o it_o be_v undeniable_o equal_a but_o there_o be_v a_o more_o than_o common_a equality_n that_o attend_v this_o tax_n for_o every_o man_n be_v his_o own_o carver_n consequent_o every_o

neither_o his_o majesty_n nor_o the_o subject_a any_o thing_n but_o shall_v be_v a_o advantage_n to_o both_o for_o which_o purpose_n i_o must_v prove_v to_o this_o honourable_a house_n that_o the_o

per_fw-la annum_fw-la will_v be_v think_v much_o too_o great_a for_o the_o charge_n of_o collect_v such_o a_o tax_n but_o perhaps_o 50000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la may_v serve_v turn_n consider_v the_o excise-officer_n with_o little_a addition_n may_v serve_v both_o purpose_n and_o also_o thàt_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o both_o duty_n shall_v come_v under_o the_o consideration_n of_o one_o sort_n of_o manager_n the_o which_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v more_o plain_o appear_v but_o that_o this_o proof_n which_o will_v be_v long_o may_v not_o too_o much_o divert_v the_o reader_n from_o the_o assertion_n beforementioned_a i_o shall_v therefore_o first_o come_v to_o a_o conclusion_n and_o afterward_o prove_v it_o though_o it_o be_v

our_o nation_n of_o over-rating_a our_o own_o strength_n and_o undervalue_v that_o of_o our_o enemy_n i_o think_v it_o be_v now_o too_o evident_a that_o this_o opinion_n have_v prevail_v to_o our_o

the_o proper_a way_n and_o mean_n to_o carry_v on_o a_o great_a and_o long_o war._n let_v we_o therefore_o but_o consider_v our_o present_a circumstance_n and_o the_o many_o inconvenience_n we_o have_v run_v ourselves_o into_o by_o some_o of_o the_o former_a way_n of_o raise_v money_n and_o we_o shall_v soon_o find_v they_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a occasion_n of_o all_o our_o present_a want_n but_o perhaps_o it_o be_v prudence_n at_o this_o time_n to_o conceal_v our_o weakness_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v and_o the_o best_a way_n to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o application_n of_o a_o speedy_a remedy_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o ask_v a_o question_n what_o fond_a can_v now_o be_v find_v out_o that_o his_o majesty_n can_v afford_v to_o pay_v 40_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n for_o the_o advance_v of_o money_n for_o such_o be_v our_o present_a case_n and_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v suspect_v if_o such_o a_o overture_n be_v make_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v accept_v of_o at_o this_o time_n at_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v seem_v very_o monstrous_a that_o that_o government_n that_o be_v supply_v the_o last_o year_n and_o several_a other_o before_o with_o what_o money_n they_o please_v at_o 7_o 8_o and_z 9_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n not_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v now_o able_a to_o have_v present_a money_n advance_v under_o 40_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n nay_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v not_o on_o any_o term_n whatsoever_o but_o when_o we_o reflect_v on_o the_o case_n of_o those_o that_o have_v already_o advance_v their_o money_n on_o fond_n and_o have_v receive_v tally_n for_o the_o same_o then_o perhaps_o neither_o the_o question_n nor_o suggestion_n will_v appear_v whole_o destitute_a of_o reason_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v one_o of_o these_o fond_n but_o there_o have_v be_v tally_n from_o each_o of_o they_o daily_o chaffer_v away_o at_o no_o less_o than_o 30_o 35_o and_o 40_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n nay_o some_o have_v be_v part_v withal_o at_o a_o great_a loss_n i_o say_v how_o then_o can_v it_o be_v hope_v that_o money_n can_v be_v advance_v on_o any_o fond_a whatsoever_o when_o all_o fond_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v equal_o
