when_o for_o the_o continue_a space_n of_o ten_o year_n the_o receiver_n have_v account_v for_o it_o to_o the_o chamber_n there_o be_v many_o question_n proposable_a in_o reference_n to_o the_o

assign_v they_o rent_n upon_o the_o town_n hall_n of_o paris_n or_o some_o other_o place_n of_o which_o there_o be_v example_n for_o when_o the_o king_n have_v sell_v or_o rather_o engage_v some_o

will_n by_o this_o mean_n have_v security_n for_o security_n and_o rent_n for_o rent_n but_o that_o the_o king_n may_v reap_v advantage_n from_o this_o exchange_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o settle_v a_o stock_n for_o the_o raise_n of_o these_o new_a rent_n and_o to_o that_o end_n a_o new_a imposition_n must_v be_v lay_v upon_o the_o clergy_n the_o country_n of_o state_n city_n commonalty_n company_n college_n merchant_n and_o other_o member_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o engagee_n themselves_o pay_v their_o proportion_n there_o be_v in_o this_o no_o inconvenience_n at_o all_o because_o the_o demesne_n have_v be_v engage_v for_o the_o preservation_n and_o defence_n of_o all_o the_o corporation_n in_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v natural_a that_o they_o all_o contribute_v to_o free_v it_o again_o the_o second_o way_n to_o disengage_v the_o demesne_n will_v be_v by_o give_v ready_a money_n instead_o of_o rent_n and_o make_v a_o imposition_n for_o this_o end_n which_o may_v be_v more_o easy_a a_o reimbursement_n shall_v be_v complete_v in_o five_o or_o six_o year_n mean_a time_n and_o before_o all_o thing_n the_o engagee_n must_v be_v put_v out_o of_o possession_n and_o

will_v make_v a_o thousand_o difficulty_n at_o it_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o they_o no_o long_o possess_v they_o will_v ready_o consent_v but_o that_o the_o matter_n may_v be_v transact_v with_o less_o noise_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v expedit_v in_o each_o parliament_n apart_o or_o at_o least_o the_o receiver_n command_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o decree_n of_o the_o king_n council_n to_o

will_v not_o be_v of_o advantage_n to_o the_o king_n and_o there_o may_v one_o be_v very_o just_o make_v for_o the_o reason_n now_o allege_v and_o for_o the_o put_n of_o thing_n again_o in_o order_n let_v we_o pass_v unto_o the_o art_n of_o the_o tally_n the_o imposition_n of_o the_o tally_n or_o tax_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o subsidy_n or_o aid_n lay_v upon_o the_o people_n under_o it_o in_o
