a_o new_a poll-bill_n for_o raise_v the_o sum_n of_o seven_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n humble_o offer_v to_o consideration_n by_o a_o person_n of_o qvality_n i._o that_o a_o civil_a test_n be_v

against_o their_o majesty_n king_n william_n and_o queen_n mary_n so_o help_v i_o god._n all_o man_n who_o refuse_v such_o a_o passive_a innocent_a test_n as_o this_o do_v refuse_v to_o live_v peaceable_o under_o the_o government_n and_o by_o consequence_n they_o do_v tacit_o confess_v to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v a_o fair_a opportunity_n they_o will_v employ_v their_o money_n and_o strength_n to_o o●erturn_v the_o government_n ii_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o law_n protectio_fw-la trahit_fw-la subjectionem_fw-la &_o subjectio_fw-la prot●ctionem_fw-la and_o therefore_o they_o who_o renounce_v subject_a o●_n to_o any_o government_n do_v renounce_v protection_n from_o the_o same_o and_o by_o consequence_n have_v no_o right_n by_o

because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o moderate_a and_o reasonable_a thing_n that_o they_o shall_v pay_v down_o some_o small_a contribution_n to_o purchase_v that_o protection_n for_o the_o residue_n of_o their_o estate_n which_o by_o law_n they_o have_v no_o title_n to_o convenient_a for_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v give_v ease_n to_o our_o friend_n and_o weaken_v none_o but_o enemy_n and_o let_v no_o man_n fear_v the_o consequence_n for_o if_o it_o be_v just_a it_o will_v certain_o prosper_v no_o man_n can_v foretell_v to_o what_o sum_n this_o tax_n may_v amount_v but_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o trial_n in_o small_a sum_n and_o then_o it_o may_v be_v repeat_v as_o often_o as_o there_o be_v occasion_n suppose_v that_o the_o most_o inferior_a rank_n pay_v but_o 40_o s._n a_o tradesman_n worth_a 100_o l._n clear_a 5_o l._n worth_n 200_o l._n clear_a 10_o l._n and_o so_o on_o at_o the_o rate_n of_o 5_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n a_o gentleman_n of_o any_o estate_n 30_o l._n a_o

be_v but_o 4000_o person_n in_o all_o england_n and_o wales_n which_o will_v probable_o consist_v most_o of_o gentry_n and_o tradesman_n and_o so_o one_o with_o another_o at_o 30_o l._n the_o same_o will_v amount_v to_o 120_o thousand_o l._n this_o be_v but_o a_o small_a number_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n if_o there_o be_v more_o the_o tax_n will_v be_v more_o considerable_a and_o seasonable_a for_o we_o shall_v discover_v our_o enemy_n and_o make_v good_a use_n of_o that_o money_n which_o be_v intend_v for_o our_o destruction_n if_o there_o be_v less_o we_o shall_v have_v man_n instead_o of_o money_n and_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o guess_v at_o our_o strength_n at_o home_n and_o know_v what_o measure_v to_o take_v in_o this_o great_a conjuncture_n abroad_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o nation_n can_v lose_v any_o thing_n by_o such_o a_o law_n but_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o may_v make_v wonderful_a discovery_n and_o advance_v a_o considerable_a tax_n by_o it_o iii_o that_o all_o fine_n and_o forfeiture_n which_o be_v due_a by_o law_n and_o may_v be_v recover_v by_o any_o informer_n shall_v be_v appropriate_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o the_o public_a use_n and_o that_o the_o attorney_n or_o solicitor_n general_n be_v enable_v to_o sue_v for_o and_o recover_v all_o such_o forfeiture_n as_o any_o informer_n may_v have_v do_v this_o proceed_v will_v not_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o any_o alliance_n abroad_o since_o no_o punishment_n be_v hereby_o inflict_v since_o the_o revolution_n for_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o only_o those_o forfeiture_n former_o due_a by_o law_n take_v from_o the_o common_a informer_n and_o appropriate_v to_o the_o public_a use_n and_o this_o will_v extend_v to_o all_o recusants_n conflict_n whether_o papist_n or_o dissenter_n before_o the_o late_a king_n pardon_n and_o before_o the_o judgement_n in_o sir_n edward_n hales_n case_n and_o may_v raise_v 100_o thousand_o l._n for_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n be_v that_o in_o case_n any_o person_n neglect_n or_o refuse_v to_o take_v the_o oath_n within_o the_o time_n prescribe_v and_o shall_v be_v thereupon_o lawful_o convict_v in_o or_o upon_o any_o information_n presentment_n or_o indictment_n every_o such_o person_n shall_v forfeit_v 500_o l._n so_o that_o the_o late_a king_n pardon_n do_v not_o extend_v to_o person_n actual_o convict_v but_o that_o the_o informer_n have_v still_o a_o good_a title_n to_o a_o action_n for_o the_o penalty_n of_o 500_o l._n but_o only_o to_o person_n who_o be_v not_o convict_v nor_o any_o information_n fill_v against_o they_o before_o the_o say_a pardon_n for_o as_o to_o they_o the_o king_n may_v pardon_v the_o penalty_n before_o information_n fill_v for_o since_o they_o can_v now_o be_v convict_v by_o law_n the_o informer_n can_v never_o have_v any_o title_n who_o must_v in_o his_o declaration_n set_v forth_o the_o conviction_n as_o part_v of_o his_o title_n by_o the_o say_a statute_n iv_o that_o all_o other_o person_n in_o office_n who_o do_v not_o take_v the_o oath_n shall_v pay_v for_o their_o head_n and_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o general_n act_n of_o oblivion_n which_o will_v save_v they_o the_o charge_n of_o plead_v the_o late_a king_n pardon_n against_o a_o informer_n and_o stand_a trial_n upon_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o judge_n some_o certain_a sum_n to_o be_v impose_v by_o the_o parliament_n as_o a_o tax_n and_o not_o as_o a_o fine_a upon_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n all_o person_n who_o have_v place_n of_o profit_n or_o be_v active_a busy_a man_n for_o the_o time_n 50_o l._n which_o at_o 2000_o person_n will_v amount_v to_o 100_o thousand_o l._n that_o all_o other_o person_n who_o behave_v themselves_o well_o under_o this_o revolution_n disarm_v papist_n etc._n etc._n or_o have_v voluntary_o and_o free_o take_v the_o oath_n to_o the_o present_a government_n the_o very_a next_o term_n after_o the_o coronation_n or_o be_v person_n of_o inferior_a degree_n and_o station_n do_v pay_v 10_o l._n the_o number_n of_o these_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v very_o great_a throughout_o england_n and_o wales_n in_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n by_o neglect_n and_o otherwise_o at_o least_o 10000_o man_n which_o will_v amount_v to_o 100_o thousand_o l._n these_o sum_n will_v be_v certain_o pay_v without_o any_o discontent_n the_o act_n of_o oblivion_n be_v a_o good_a consideration_n for_o it_o v._o because_o the_o reason_n why_o these_o person_n be_v more_o particular_o aim_v at_o be_v for_o that_o they_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v man_n that_o will_v have_v comply_v for_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n therefore_o we_o can_v with_o any_o justice_n but_o take_v notice_n of_o such_o who_o do_v actual_o subscribe_v their_o name_n to_o address_n and_o paper_n for_o abolish_n the_o same_o and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o may_v be_v impeach_v in_o parliament_n and_o so_o have_v as_o much_o need_n for_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n as_o any_o other_o person_n whatsoever_o that_o all_o person_n therefore_o who_o set_v their_o name_n to_o address_n for_o take_v off_o the_o test_n and_o penal_a law_n or_o for_o return_v thanks_o to_o his_o late_a majesty_n for_o his_o toleration_n contrary_a to_o law_n do_v pay_v for_o their_o head_n and_o for_o a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n some_o certain_a sum_n to_o be_v impose_v by_o parliament_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o manager_n solicitor_n and_o chief_a presenter_n of_o such_o address_n 50_o l._n which_o at_o no_o more_o than_o 500_o address_n and_o four_o ringleader_n to_o each_o address_n will_v amount_v to_o 100_o thousand_o l._n that_o all_o other_o pay_v 10_o l._n which_o at_o 20_o to_o each_o address_v one_o with_o another_o will_v amount_v to_o 100_o thousand_o l._n more_o that_o all_o person_n who_o subscribe_v to_o the_o three_o question_n do_v pay_v 40_o l._n by_o reason_n of_o their_o quality_n and_o estate_n which_o at_o no_o more_o than_o 2000_o person_n will_v amount_v to_o 80_o thousand_o l._n the_o sum_n total_a be_v 700_o thousand_o l._n but_o in_o case_n
