Profit made by the Chief Governours that are sent hence thither above their Expence 6000 l.

This overplus was transmittable to England The overplus for Anno 1683. was but 40000 l. Insolvencies allowed as above in Anno 84. and 85. but 60000 l. I will therefore reckon it communibus Annis but 40000 l. Brought from above 34000 l.   74000 l. If in the first List the Estate of any man be over valued 't is most certain that many of the others are under-valued and that there are several Persons of less quality not named whose Estates are in Ireland and that spend them in England I have not wilfully erred I have a List of Particulars in my Hands drawn up by the Council of Trade in Ireland in 1672. whereby the Absentees Estates then living in England are valued to 116040 l. per Annum Nor is this a late Advantage that England reaps by Ireland for both the Histories and Laws of this and that Kingdom do complain That from the first Conquest they have been impoverished by their Nobility and Gentry's spending their Estates in England As to the Second List of Pensioners I do not find that there hath less than 10000 l. per annum been paid for many years past to Persons in England Upon the Establishment Anno 1676. The Pensions then payable to Persons in England was 10500 l. per annum All the Persons mentioned in this List but three were certainly in England and I am informed the other three were resident here also However the Summ payable to those three amounts but unto 5●0 l. in all As to the Third List it depends on Estimates wherein as to the two first Articles and the fourth fifth and sixth I have been careful to keep much within what they really are As to the third Article 't is certain that the Annual Profits our Noblemen make of that Government doth much exceed what I have set down And as to the last which concerns the Surplusages of the Revenue whoever consults the Establishment of that Kingdom will find that for many years past there has been an Article in it appointing a considerable Summ to be returned Annually into England In 1676. it was but 20000 l. per annum In Charles II. time there was great Summs raised in that Kingdom that never came into the Exchequer there nor as I am informed is there any account how they were disposed Whether they were distributed to Irish Rebels as a reward for cutting Protestants Throats in 1641 or transmitted for England I cannot say but possibly it may one day prove worth his present Majesties Enquiry when once that Kingdom tends towards a Settlement if he thinks good to have a retrospect so far Here I am likewise to take notice that when Forces have been sent from Ireland hither or to Tangier they have constantly been paid thence By the particulars of this last instance it is evident That we not only reap the common advantages usually made in the course of Trade between one Kingdom and another but that we also make many other considerable ones by Ireland which that Kingdom peculiarly yields us and is like yet to do to a greater degree if we put it into a better condition of Trade and Improvement which I shall hereafter make out The three Lists I have set down before you do shew That we receive 176017. l. per annum in those particulars 75000 l. that they pay us annually for Fraight of our Ships which makes 245017. enough of itself for ever to Cure us of our Jealousie That that Kingdom will be prejudicial to us in point of Trade for these very Out-lets of their Treasure will infallibly keep them low And the very encrease of their Trade and Consumption will encrease the Revenue there and make them liable to send so much more as that shall happen to be annually to England which helps
