the_o calculation_n they_o frame_v contemplate_v nothing_o but_o the_o wealth_n and_o plenty_n they_o see_v in_o rich_a city_n and_o great_a town_n and_o from_o thence_o make_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o kingdom_n remain_v part_n and_o from_o this_o view_n conclude_v that_o tax_n and_o payment_n to_o the_o public_a do_v most_o arise_v from_o the_o gentry_n and_o better_a sort_n by_o which_o measure_n they_o neither_o contrive_v their_o imposition_n aright_o nor_o be_v they_o able_a to_o give_v a_o true_a estimate_n what_o it_o shall_v produce_v but_o when_o we_o have_v divide_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o england_n into_o their_o proper_a class_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n believe_v that_o tax_n fall_v chief_o upon_o the_o better_a sort_n they_o care_v not_o what_o they_o lay_v as_o think_v they_o will_v not_o be_v feel_v but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v levy_v

those_o be_v render_v uneasy_a these_o must_v share_v in_o the_o calamity_n but_o even_o of_o this_o inferior_a sort_n no_o small_a proportion_n contribute_v large_o to_o excise_n as_o labourer_n and_o out-servant_n which_o likewise_o affect_v the_o common_a seaman_n who_o must_v thereupon_o raise_v their_o wage_n or_o they_o will_v not_o have_v wherewithal_o to_o keep_v their_o family_n leave_v at_o home_o and_o the_o high_a wage_n of_o seamen_n be_v another_o burden_n upon_o our_o foreign_a traffic_n as_o to_o the_o cottager_n who_o be_v above_o a_o five_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n some_o duty_n reach_v even_o they_o as_o those_o upon_o malt_n leather_n and_o salt_n but_o not_o much_o because_o of_o their_o slender_a consumption_n but_o if_o the_o gentry_n upon_o who_o wood_n and_o glean_n they_o live_v and_o who_o employ_v they_o in_o day_n labour_n and_o if_o the_o manufacturer_n for_o who_o they_o card_n and_o spin_v be_v overburdened_a with_o duty_n they_o can_v afford_v to_o give_v they_o so_o much_o for_o their_o labour_n and_o handiwork_n nor_o to_o yield_v they_o those_o other_o relief_n which_o be_v their_o principal_a subsistence_n for_o want_v of_o which_o these_o miserable_a wretch_n must_v perish_v with_o cold_a and_o hunger_n thus_o we_o see_v excise_n either_o direct_o or_o indirect_o fall_v upon_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n but_o we_o do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o matter_n as_o recee_v from_o our_o former_a opinion_n on_o the_o contrary_a we_o still_o think_v they_o the_o most_o easy_a and_o equal_a way_n of_o tax_v a_o nation_n and_o perhaps_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o if_o we_o have_v fall_v into_o this_o method_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o war_n of_o raise_v the_o year_n expense_n within_o the_o year_n by_o excise_n england_n have_v not_o be_v now_o indebt_v so_o many_o million_o but_o what_o be_v adviseable_a under_o such_o a_o necessity_n and_o danger_n be_v not_o to_o be_v pursue_v in_o
