the_o piece_n may_v have_v pass_v currant_n among_o we_o without_o any_o further_a examination_n but_o since_o we_o have_v a_o liberty_n of_o inspection_n we_o shall_v consider_v it_o with_o as_o great_a impartiality_n as_o he_o tell_v we_o he_o himself_o write_v it_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o his_o laudable_a design_n the_o author_n run_v through_o several_a improvement_n which_o he_o be_v please_v to_o call_v pernicious_a project_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o trade_n and_o commerce_n and_o the_o impoverish_v this_o realm_n with_o reflection_n thereupon_o of_o great_a import_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n and_o have_v give_v we_o a_o long_a beadroll_n of_o particular_a project_n no_o less_o than_o sixty_o five_o in_o number_n with_o et_fw-la cetera's_fw-la to_o many_o of_o they_o have_v not_o the_o gentleman_n forget_v the_o project_n of_o sawing-mill_n it_o will_v not_o only_o have_v make_v the_o score_n even_o but_o have_v also_o produce_v the_o fatal_a and_o ominous_a number_n of_o sixty_o six_o and_o have_v give_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v as_o great_a a_o indication_n of_o their_o ruin_n and_o downfall_n as_o his_o own_o prognostication_n upon_o they_o especial_o since_o we_o be_v inform_v form_v by_o the_o learned_a that_o those_o two_o figure_n do_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n help_v to_o make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o foretell_v the_o fall_n of_o antichrist_n now_o the_o author_n seem_v to_o have_v dive_v so_o deep_o into_o all_o these_o pernicious_a project_n that_o no_o mystery_n in_o they_o can_v lie_v unfathomed_a by_o he_o and_o since_o these_o his_o discovery_n be_v like_a to_o be_v of_o so_o national_a a_o good_a and_o use_v to_o we_o methinks_v for_o his_o own_o skill_n in_o it_o he_o may_v have_v spare_v his_o reflection_n upon_o the_o art_n or_o project_n of_o dive_v but_o however_o if_o that_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v so_o destructive_a of_o trade_n and_o commerce_n as_o he_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v then_o certain_o they_o be_v all_o very_a naughty_a thing_n have_v meet_v then_o in_o the_o very_a frontespiece_n such_o terrible_a word_n as_o pernicious_a destruction_n and_o

he_o give_v we_o a_o scheme_n or_o rather_o a_o aim_n how_o to_o advance_v honesty_n which_o be_v a_o very_a good_a design_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o declension_n and_o

knave_n and_o fool_n a_o hard_a sentence_n indeed_o but_o i_o can_v find_v by_o any_o method_n propose_v in_o any_o part_n of_o his_o treatise_n how_o he_o will_v regulate_v these_o or_o help_v we_o and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o cheatée_n it_o may_v seem_v much_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o be_v cheat_v in_o a_o bank_n or_o project_n or_o in_o a_o shop_n or_o warehouse_n and_o this_o mischievous_a dilemma_n will_v probable_o reduce_v his_o whole_a design_n into_o theory_n and_o speculation_n without_o the_o help_n of_o one_o practical_a receipt_n to_o save_v we_o his_o first_o attack_v be_v upon_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n but_o he_o immediate_o tell_v we_o that_o be_v as_o he_o say_v strong_o fortify_v and_o entrench_v he_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o plant_v his_o whole_a artillery_n against_o it_o however_o he_o must_v have_v a_o sting_n at_o it_o he_o view_v it_o look_v hard_o upon_o it_o prognosticate_v its_o downfall_n and_o let_v fly_v a_o random-shot_a or_o two_o charge_v with_o monopoly_n he_o march_v off_o he_o tell_v we_o indeed_o that_o the_o bank_n be_v master_n of_o so_o much_o money_n they_o may_v or_o do_v or_o will_v buy_v up_o our_o commodity_n which_o he_o call_v monopolise_v and_o that_o be_v invade_v our_o property_n have_v he_o say_v transfer_v our_o property_n as_o the_o seller_n general_o do_v to_o the_o bayers_n he_o have_v tell_v

impoverish_v the_o nation_n and_o destroy_v we_o except_o they_o deal_v in_o eatable_n only_o and_o then_o indeed_o they_o may_v starve_v we_o too_o which_o will_v be_v a_o very_a sad_a thing_n but_o

lie_v the_o great_a destruction_n and_o impoverishment_n of_o the_o realm_n in_o buy_v up_o commodity_n since_o it_o seem_v they_o be_v such_o as_o will_v be_v sell_v again_o and_o will_v be_v

among_o other_o thing_n nothing_o do_v more_o advance_v and_o promote_v a_o inland_a trade_n than_o a_o quick_a vend_fw-mi of_o our_o manufacture_n from_o the_o manufacteror_n and_o nothing_o do_v this_o more_o effectual_o than_o a_o bank_n that_o be_v willing_a and_o able_a to_o take_v they_o off_o and_o with_o our_o author_n permission_n i_o be_o very_a well_o assure_v that_o there_o be_v some_o county_n as_o well_o as_o great_a town_n and_o city_n which_o depend_v chief_o upon_o manufacture_n and_o which_o for_o some_o year_n have_v be_v in_o a_o deplorable_a condition_n their_o

a_o increase_n and_o growth_n in_o trade_n seem_v very_o opposite_a to_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o trade_n and_o after_o all_o the_o jealousy_n and_o fear_n and_o cry_v against_o the_o
