some_o way_n for_o raise_v of_o money_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o parliament_n by_o a_o person_n of_o quality_n london_n print_v and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v by_o randall_n tailor_n near_o stationers-hall_n 1690._o some_o way_n for_o raise_v of_o money_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o parliament_n the_o best_a way_n of_o all_o other_o be_v a_o excise_n under_o which_o head_n the_o follow_a particular_n or_o most_o of_o they_o will_v be_v reduce_v this_o way_n will_v be_v the_o most_o effectual_a to_o raise_v great_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o will_v be_v the_o least_o feel_v and_o it_o be_v use_v by_o all_o wise_a and_o civilise_a nation_n who_o find_v it_o the_o best_a and_o easy_a way_n but_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o yet_o now_o in_o this_o great_a exigence_n and_o when_o all_o lie_v at_o stake_n and_o such_o mighty_a sum_n be_v want_v to_o preserve_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o here_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o general_a excise_n upon_o all_o thing_n buy_v and_o sell_v for_o that_o seem_v too_o troublesome_a and_o vexatious_a but_o only_o upon_o some_o thing_n of_o general_a use_n and_o which_o can_v well_o bear_v the_o duty_n i_o shall_v name_v some_o few_o of_o they_o 1._o a_o farthing_n a_o pound_n upon_o all_o flesh_n sell_v by_o retail_n the_o offal_v except_v with_o effectual_a provision_n that_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v sell_v in_o town_n save_v only_o in_o the_o market_n or_o in_o the_o shop_n or_o shambles_n 2._o a_o halfpenny_n a_o pound_n upon_o all_o candle_n sell_v these_o two_o easy_a duty_n will_v clear_v six_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n 3._o a_o six_o part_n of_o the_o value_n or_o two_o penny_n in_o the_o shilling_n upon_o all_o paper_n import_v but_o so_o as_o none_o to_o pay_v above_o one_o shilling_n the_o ream_n this_o will_v give_v a_o mighty_a advantage_n to_o our_o new_a manufacture_n of_o paper_n in_o england_n which_o therefore_o may_v well_o afford_v to_o pay_v the_o half_a of_o this_o duty_n or_o the_o twelve_o part_n of_o the_o value_n 4._o seal_a paper_n and_o parchment_n for_o bond_n contract_n and_o conveyance_n without_o which_o no_o write_v which_o require_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o party_n to_o be_v good_a and_o valid_a though_o this_o duty_n be_v make_v light_n yet_o it_o will_v bring_v in_o great_a sum_n and_o will_v be_v very_o easy_o gather_v as_o it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n in_o other_o country_n 5._o when_o the_o assize_n of_o bread_n be_v above_o ten_o ounce_n for_o the_o penny_n white_a loaf_n the_o excess_n or_o what_o be_v over_o and_o above_o to_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o the_o bread_n to_o be_v make_v at_o ten_o ounce_n 6._o a_o additional_a duty_n of_o twelve_o pound_n per_fw-la ton_n at_o the_o least_o upon_o french_a wine_n and_o this_o to_o be_v instead_o of_o the_o prohibition_n it_o will_v keep_v it_o out_o much_o more_o effectual_o for_o now_o though_o it_o be_v prohibit_v it_o be_v as_o plentiful_a as_o ever_o and_o as_o less_o will_v come_v in_o than_o do_v now_o so_o that_o which_o come_v in_o under_o such_o duty_n will_v advance_v great_a sum_n towards_o our_o public_a occasion_n yield_v very_o small_a and_o miserable_a gain_n to_o the_o french_a seller_n 7._o six_o pound_n per_fw-la ton_n addition_n upon_o all_o other_o wine_n which_o they_o may_v well_o afford_v to_o pay_v the_o french_a pay_v so_o much_o more_o nor_o can_v our_o friend_n take_v it_o ill_o if_o in_o this_o exigence_n we_o increase_v the_o duty_n upon_o their_o wine_n since_o we_o double_v it_o upon_o our_o own_o beer_n and_o ale_n also_o by_o this_o mean_n french_a wine_n which_o be_v chief_o aim_v at_o can_v not_o escape_v by_o pretend_v they_o to_o be_v from_o other_o place_n for_o all_o wine_n will_v now_o have_v near_o the_o same_o burden_n and_o since_o at_o the_o canary_n they_o be_v grow_v so_o rich_a and_o so_o proud_a that_o they_o will_v not_o now_o take_v our_o woollen_a manufacture_n nor_o scarce_o any_o thing_n else_o we_o have_v so_o that_o we_o must_v carry_v money_n or_o give_v they_o bill_n to_o spain_n therefore_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o further_a addition_n of_o duty_n upon_o their_o wine_n for_o nothing_o will_v bring_v they_o down_o but_o a_o company_n or_o high_a duty_n 8._o two_o or_o three_o shilling_n per_fw-la gallon_n upon_o all_o brandy_n import_v and_o french_a brandy_n to_o pay_v double_a and_o their_o double_a brandy_n to_o pay_v double_a to_o that_o 9_o forty_o or_o fifty_o per_fw-la cent._n addition_n upon_o all_o other_o french_a commodity_n these_o few_o thing_n will_v bring_v in_o more_o money_n than_o our_o great_a land-tax_n of_o a_o hundred_o thirty_o seven_o thousand_o pound_n a_o month._n and_o these_o may_v be_v for_o continuance_n if_o occasion_n shall_v require_v i_o have_v now_o two_o way_n to_o offer_v which_o will_v only_o advance_v a_o present_a sum_n and_o be_v not_o for_o continuance_n the_o first_o be_v a_o review_n of_o the_o tax_n of_o one_o shilling_n and_o three_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n these_o tax_n be_v the_o most_o equal_a of_o all_o other_o have_v they_o be_v well_o assess_v but_o they_o be_v assess_v so_o shameful_o ill_a that_o thereby_o the_o tax_n become_v the_o most_o unequal_a some_o land_n be_v assess_v at_o the_o full_a value_n some_o hardly_o at_o half_a and_o some_o not_o at_o all_o i_o hear_v a_o gentleman_n of_o surrey_n affirm_v that_o he_o know_v of_o three_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n in_o his_o neighbourhood_n which_o pay_v not_o a_o penny_n to_o those_o tax_n it_o be_v therefore_o humble_o propose_v that_o a_o review_n be_v in_o this_o manner_n commissioner_n to_o be_v name_v by_o the_o king_n for_o each_o county_n and_o change_v at_o pleasure_n the_o major_a part_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o county_n these_o to_o sit_v every_o month_n or_o often_o if_o occasion_n be_v to_o receive_v and_o hear_v information_n of_o estate_n under_o rate_v and_o to_o determine_v they_o according_a to_o their_o conscience_n what_o shall_v come_v in_o by_o this_o way_n to_o go_v half_a to_o the_o king_n and_o half_a to_o the_o informer_n for_o except_v the_o informer_n be_v well_o reward_v there_o be_v no_o good_a to_o be_v do_v in_o thing_n of_o this_o kind_n before_o any_o information_n be_v receive_v the_o commissioner_n to_o sit_v once_o or_o twice_o to_o receive_v the_o confession_n of_o the_o party_n themselves_o who_o by_o this_o mean_n may_v prevent_v the_o informer_n they_o that_o confess_v the_o true_a value_n to_o save_v the_o one_o half_a of_o what_o they_o be_v under-rated_n pay_v the_o other_o half_a to_o the_o king_n no_o information_n to_o be_v receive_v after_o three_o year_n it_o be_v very_o believe_v that_o his_o majesty_n share_n of_o this_o glean_v will_v come_v to_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n and_o here_o will_v be_v a_o equal_a assessment_n for_o the_o future_a such_o as_o never_o be_v in_o england_n the_o second_o way_n here_o offer_v be_v a_o composition_n for_o the_o irish_a estate_n which_o may_v be_v thus_o that_o all_o king_n james_n his_o adherent_n in_o that_o kingdom_n who_o shall_v come_v in_o by_o such_o a_o time_n be_v pardon_v and_o have_v their_o land_n pay_v two_o year_n purchase_v of_o their_o true_a value_n as_o it_o be_v three_o year_n ago_o some_o few_o of_o the_o most_o notorious_a and_o mischievous_a be_v except_v to_o incline_v we_o to_o go_v by_o this_o way_n of_o composition_n rather_o than_o by_o confiscation_n and_o sale_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o matter_n here_o follow_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v the_o more_o merciful_a and_o consequent_o the_o more_o christian_a way_n whereas_o if_o we_o shall_v confiscate_v all_o these_o estate_n and_o turn_v the_o people_n a_o beg_a together_o with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n it_o will_v be_v the_o severe_a victory_n that_o have_v be_v know_v among_o christian_n will_v it_o not_o seem_v extreme_o rigorous_a if_o we_o shall_v put_v they_o all_o to_o the_o sword_n and_o the_o strip_v they_o of_o their_o estate_n be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o take_v away_o their_o life_n rather_o than_o leave_v they_o in_o so_o great_a misery_n this_o french_a king_n have_v late_o subdue_v savoy_n but_o we_o do_v not_o hear_v of_o any_o confiscation_n or_o extirpation_n nor_o be_v their_o land_n make_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o conquer_a army_n but_o every_o man_n enjoy_v his_o own_o the_o same_o french_a king_n when_o he_o have_v settle_v his_o conquest_n in_o flanders_n give_v public_a notice_n to_o the_o gentleman_n of_o those_o country_n who_o be_v in_o the_o spanish_a service_n that_o if_o they_o
