and_o the_o person_n concern_v in_o the_o security_n will_v attend_v every_o day_n at_o their_o office_n on_o the_o backside_n of_o the_o royal-exchange_n from_o the_o hour_n of_o nine_o till_o twelve_o in_o the_o forenoon_n and_o from_o three_o till_o six_o in_o the_o afternoon_n to_o subscribe_v policy_n for_o all_o person_n desirous_a to_o insure_v their_o house_n as_o far_o as_o the_o number_n of_o three_o thousand_o house_n much_o labour_n much_o time_n have_v be_v spend_v in_o settle_v this_o affair_n it_o be_v above_o a_o year_n since_o the_o proposition_n for_o insure_a house_n from_o fire_n be_v first_o make_v public_a this_o have_v occasion_v several_a discourse_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o project_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n not_o to_o be_v practise_v and_o will_v prove_v like_o the_o abortive_a conceit_n of_o several_a other_o in_o this_o last_o twenty_o year_n on_o this_o subject_a but_o whosoever_o consider_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n that_o be_v at_o first_o propose_v to_o be_v follow_v in_o settle_v this_o design_n such_o as_o be_v think_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o give_v that_o satisfaction_n which_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o concern_v do_v require_v will_v believe_v this_o affair_n can_v not_o have_v be_v otherwise_o or_o soon_o effect_v the_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o settle_v this_o design_n as_o it_o be_v first_o propose_v be_v thus_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v general-meeting_n of_o all_o person_n that_o have_v any_o thought_n of_o insure_v their_o house_n and_o be_v wellwisher_n to_o such_o a_o design_n before_o any_o security_n

either_o to_o the_o advantage_n or_o disadvantage_n of_o this_o design_n shall_v be_v debate_v and_o regulate_v this_o scrutiny_n this_o office_n be_v to_o pass_v for_o though_o some_o public_a design_n who_o fund_z have_v be_v reputation_n &_o personal_a credit_n have_v thrive_v best_a without_o examination_n &_o of_o a_o sudden_a raise_v themselves_o into_o great_a reputation_n yet_o sometime_o mushroom-like_a they_o have_v have_v their_o duration_n and_o rise_v equal_a their_o creditor_n have_v lose_v their_o money_n before_o they_o have_v the_o leisure_n to_o consider_v why_o they_o trust_v they_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o design_n who_o fund_z be_v in_o land_n be_v real_a and_o certain_a can_v have_v no_o great_a advantage_n than_o to_o have_v their_o foundation_n examine_v by_o those_o that_o trust_v they_o and_o though_o such_o deliberation_n may_v make_v their_o beginning_n and_o growth_n slow_a yet_o they_o will_v be_v like_o the_o oak_n durable_a many_o general-meeting_n upon_o public_a notice_n be_v hold_v at_o the_o office_n where_o several_a gentleman_n and_o eminent_a citizen_n be_v present_a the_o first_o debate_n be_v about_o the_o value_n of_o the_o security_n whether_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n be_v sufficient_a to_o secure_v ten_o thousand_o house_n as_o it_o be_v first_o propose_v with_o the_o addition_n of_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n for_o every_o ten_o thousand_o house_n this_o after_o much_o debate_n appear_v to_o be_v sufficient_a to_o the_o majority_n because_o though_o ten_o thousand_o house_n be_v of_o great_a value_n than_o the_o fund_z yet_o be_v suppose_v that_o they_o will_v stand_v at_o great_a distance_n they_o can_v not_o be_v destroy_v by_o any_o one_o fire_n yet_o because_o some_o gentleman_n question_v it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o those_o person_n concern_v in_o the_o office_n to_o give_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o all_o it_o be_v at_o last_o agree_v that_o the_o
