A29546	The freehold estates of England, or, England itself the best fund or security	Briscoe, John, fl. 1695.	1695 (1695)	Wing B4751; ESTC R38642	2,801	1

the_o freehold_a estate_n of_o england_n or_o england_n itself_o the_o best_a fund_z or_o security_n after_o so_o many_o assurance_n give_v by_o some_o person_n to_o furnish_v the_o freeholder_n of_o england_n with_o money_n upon_o the_o security_n of_o their_o estate_n one_o will_v have_v think_v no_o landed-man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n can_v have_v remain_v under_o any_o difficulty_n to_o raise_v money_n for_o supply_v his_o occasion_n or_o to_o clear_v off_o his_o encumbrance_n and_o that_o lease_n of_o ejectment_n and_o sub-poena's_a in_o chancery_n to_o foreclose_v equity_n of_o redemption_n will_v have_v be_v out_o of_o date_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o have_v be_v promise_v we_o find_v the_o freeholder_n under_o as_o bad_a if_o not_o worse_a circumstance_n than_o ever_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n who_o have_v cause_v many_o advertisement_n to_o be_v insert_v in_o the_o gazette_n of_o furnish_v the_o freeholder_n with_o money_n at_o 5_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la not_o meet_v with_o one_o title_n in_o a_o hundred_o that_o will_v please_v they_o have_v turn_v the_o current_n of_o their_o business_n another_o way_n and_o be_v set_v up_o bank_n in_o foreign_a country_n leave_v the_o poor_a freeholder_n to_o shift_v for_o themselves_o the_o orphan_n bank_n have_v set_v out_o a_o order_n to_o lend_v money_n upon_o a_o deposite_n of_o gold_n or_o silver_n and_o to_o discount_n bill_n of_o exchange_n at_o 3_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la but_o mention_v not_o one_o word_n of_o lend_v money_n on_o land-security_n in_o fine_a though_o all_o make_v use_v of_o that_o please_a and_o popular_a argument_n of_o ease_v the_o freeholder_n and_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o land_n yet_o not_o one_o step_n have_v be_v take_v therein_o nor_o must_v we_o expect_v ever_o will_n so_o long_o as_o the_o management_n be_v in_o private_a hand_n and_o not_o by_o person_n appoint_v either_o by_o the_o public_a or_o by_o the_o freeholder_n themselves_o but_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v or_o promise_v if_o one_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o judge_n by_o man_n action_n seem_v only_o a_o pretence_n without_o the_o least_o reality_n or_o purpose_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o now_o when_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o excise_n the_o annual_a income_n settle_v on_o the_o orphan_n the_o lottery-ticket_n the_o annuity_n for_o life_n and_o indeed_o almost_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v but_o the_o face_n of_o a_o security_n although_o depend_v on_o contingency_n be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o fund_n whereupon_o to_o issue_v out_o bill_n and_o have_v some_o of_o they_o actual_a credit_n for_o three_o time_n more_o than_o the_o real_a value_n it_o can_v but_o seem_v strange_a to_o any_o consider_a man_n that_o the_o freehold_a estate_n of_o england_n or_o rather_o england_n itself_o which_o all_o must_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o very_a basis_n of_o those_o fund_n shall_v be_v disregard_v and_o the_o issue_v out_o bill_n on_o land-security_n for_o a_o far_o less_o sum_n than_o the_o value_n shall_v be_v ridicule_v and_o make_v a_o jest_n of_o yet_o some_o people_n have_v have_v so_o little_a sense_n as_o to_o pass_v their_o censure_n on_o my_o proposal_n to_o the_o parliament_n for_o issue_v out_o bill_n of_o credit_n on_o land-security_n and_o the_o bill_n which_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o mr._n brockman_n this_o last_o session_n by_o order_n of_o the_o honourable_a the_o house_n of_o commons_o entitle_v a_o act_n for_o the_o improvement_n of_o the_o freehold_a estate_n of_o england_n and_o the_o encouragement_n of_o trade_n and_o which_o be_v refer_v to_o a_o committee_n who_o make_v a_o considerable_a progress_n therein_o be_v by_o some_o person_n oppose_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n as_o i_o can_v ever_o hear_v of_o but_o because_o it_o will_v have_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o their_o particular_a interest_n i_o do_v therefore_o once_o design_n to_o have_v print_v a_o breviate_v of_o the_o say_a bill_n that_o all_o person_n may_v have_v see_v whether_o the_o same_o be_v reasonable_a or_o practicable_a but_o upon_o further_a consideration_n i_o forbear_v it_o find_v too_o many_o lead_v more_o by_o humour_n than_o reason_n and_o that_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v any_o thing_n possible_a to_o be_v do_v until_o they_o see_v it_o effect_v i_o shall_v therefore_o be_v encourage_v so_o to_o do_v by_o several_a person_n of_o great_a worth_n reduce_v the_o same_o into_o practice_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o national_a bank_n and_o probable_o the_o great_a bank_n in_o the_o world_n so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v do_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n still_o submit_v the_o same_o to_o such_o regulation_n alteration_n or_o amendment_n as_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v in_o their_o wisdom_n at_o any_o time_n hereafter_o think_v needful_a to_o make_v some_o perhaps_o who_o be_v desirous_a to_o keep_v the_o freeholder_n neck_n still_o under_o the_o servile_a yoke_n of_o 6_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la interest_n beside_o other_o charge_n which_o with_o the_o tax_n have_v eat_v up_o several_a of_o their_o estate_n may_v make_v trivial_a objection_n against_o these_o my_o proposal_n and_o demand_v where_o will_v the_o money_n be_v find_v to_o answer_v the_o bill_n of_o credit_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o acquaint_v every_o impertinent_a querist_n with_o the_o method_n i_o have_v to_o propose_v for_o raise_v a_o fund_z of_o money_n it_o be_v sufficient_a i_o have_v hitherto_o bear_v the_o whole_a charge_n of_o prosecute_a this_o business_n which_o when_o accomplish_v will_v be_v so_o great_o for_o the_o freeholders_n advantage_n and_o will_v more_o than_o double_a the_o value_n of_o their_o estate_n all_o that_o i_o desire_v of_o the_o freeholder_n be_v that_o they_o will_v enable_v i_o to_o do_v
