be_v no_o great_a hindrance_n to_o the_o attain_v true_a knowledge_n than_o preconceive_a notion_n which_o people_n retain_v as_o maxim_n not_o to_o be_v recede_v from_o without_o so_o much_o as_o

of_o your_o friend_n who_o owe_v 10000_o l._n upon_o his_o estate_n of_o 1000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la now_o notwithstanding_o this_o poor_a gentleman_n calamitous_a circumstance_n do_v not_o

therefore_o give_v your_o honour_n a_o very_a brief_a account_n of_o he_o and_o my_o proposal_n as_o i_o have_v it_o

that_o i_o can_v hardly_o yet_o recover_v myself_o be_v how_o genteely_a the_o prolocutor_n offer_v to_o ease_v we_o of_o our_o estate_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v there_o seem_v a_o tendency_n thereunto_o for_o when_o they_o have_v once_o make_v we_o poor_a by_o their_o 8_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la interest_n i_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v hinder_v they_o from_o have_v our_o estate_n and_o i_o find_v the_o purchase_n of_o our_o estate_n be_v quick_o cast_v up_o for_o 1200000_o l._n in_o money_n pay_v for_o 100000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la be_v just_a 12_o year_n purchase_v and_o so_o much_o we_o may_v expect_v for_o our_o freehold_n and_o though_o i_o doubt_v not_o in_o the_o least_o these_o gentleman_n civility_n in_o give_v we_o a_o quick_a dispatch_n and_o send_v we_o out_o of_o town_n with_o their_o bank-bill_n in_o exchange_n for_o our_o terra_n firma_n yet_o i_o very_o much_o question_n whether_o their_o goodness_n will_v extend_v so_o far_o as_o to_o give_v more_o year_n purchase_v for_o our_o land_n than_o they_o give_v to_o the_o government_n for_o the_o fund_n and_o to_o give_v the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o bank_n their_o due_a they_o have_v a_o very_a good_a plea_n why_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o give_v so_o many_o year_n purchase_v for_o land_n because_o there_o be_v 4_o s._n in_o the_o pound_n pay_v yearly_a during_o the_o war_n for_o tax_n out_o of_o our_o land_n whereas_o the_o fund_n be_v excuse_v from_o all_o tax_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n so_o soon_o as_o i_o hear_v the_o prolocutor_n mention_v the_o purchase_v our_o land_n with_o their_o bank-bill_n it_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o pharaoh_n be_v seven_o lean_a ill-favoured_a kine_n who_o do_v eat_v up_o the_o seven_o fat_a and_o well-favoured_a kine_n or_o rather_o the_o seven_o thin_a ear_n of_o barley_n when_o make_v into_o malt_n devour_v the_o seven_o full_a ear_n of_o barley_n with_o the_o land_n upon_o which_o it_o grow_v however_o my_o thought_n be_v quick_o interrupt_v when_o i_o hear_v he_o say_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v get_v our_o estate_n they_o shall_v have_v a_o fund_z of_o good_a freehold-land_n for_o the_o security_n of_o their_o bank-bill_n that_o suit_v exact_o with_o my_o notion_n and_o i_o think_v with_o myself_o why_o may_v not_o our_o estate_n be_v as_o good_a a_o fund_z or_o security_n in_o our_o hand_n as_o in_o they_o which_o gentleman_n lead_v i_o to_o the_o point_n which_o i_o have_v in_o command_n to_o lay_v before_o this_o honourable_a house_n which_o be_v to_o acquaint_v you_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o high_a interest_n occasion_v by_o those_o late_a fund_n we_o the_o freeholder_n of_o england_n be_v in_o a_o fair_a way_n to_o be_v ruin_v the_o nation_n impoverish_v and_o what_o indeed_o i_o ought_v to_o have_v mention_v in_o the_o first_o place_n their_o majesty_n and_o our_o parliament_n will_v be_v at_o last_o force_v to_o truckle_n to_o the_o moneyed_a man_n among_o who_o be_v very_o many_o foreigner_n as_o well_o as_o subject_n of_o our_o own_o nation_n pardon_v i_o therefore_o right_o horourable_a honourable_a and_o thrice_o worthy_a patriot_n if_o i_o make_v it_o my_o most_o humble_a request_n to_o you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o all_o the_o freeholder_n of_o england_n that_o you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o take_v the_o premise_n into_o your_o serious_a consideration_n i_o presume_v to_o say_v that_o a_o more_o weighty_a affair_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o majesty_n or_o the_o kingdom_n can_v come_v before_o you_o be_v please_v to_o peruse_v this_o book_n examine_v the_o table_n consider_v the_o several_a argument_n and_o objection_n with_o the_o several_a answer_n read_v over_o the_o proposal_n and_o sedate_o ponder_v they_o and_o if_o you_o find_v any_o thing_n therein_o that_o be_v not_o consentaneous_a or_o agreeable_a to_o your_o judgement_n be_v please_v to_o hear_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v by_o the_o proposer_n for_o such_o his_o proposal_n before_o you_o total_o cast_v it_o aside_o as_o impracticable_a the_o proposer_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o lay_v a_o complete_a and_o perfect_a scheme_n before_o your_o honour_n but_o only_o to_o bring_v you_o the_o treasure_n in_o the_o mass_n rudis_fw-la indigestaque_fw-la moles_n well_o know_v that_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v please_v with_o the_o matter_n that_o there_o be_v not_o want_v among_o you_o person_n of_o great_a wisdom_n and_o profound_a judgement_n who_o be_v able_a to_o form_n and_o methodize_v it_o far_o beyond_o what_o the_o proposer_n can_v or_o will_v pretend_v the_o design_n be_v to_o settle_v our_o land_n upon_o which_o may_v be_v issue_v out_o bill_n of_o credit_n not_o only_o for_o the_o service_n of_o their_o majesty_n but_o of_o all_o the_o subject_n in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o we_o can_v but_o hope_v that_o your_o honour_n will_v think_v it_o as_o reasonable_a for_o we_o to_o issue_v out_o bill_n of_o credit_n upon_o the_o security_n of_o our_o freehold_a estate_n in_o land_n as_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o give_v leave_v to_o the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o bank_n to_o issue_v out_o bill_n upon_o security_n of_o the_o 100000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la payable_a out_o of_o the_o excise_n whereby_o their_o majesty_n will_v be_v enable_v to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n with_o a_o yet_o great_a vigour_n than_o ever_o and_o we_o the_o freeholder_n of_o england_n will_v have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o clear_v our_o estate_n from_o all_o encumbrance_n and_o raise_v portion_n for_o our_o child_n and_o such_o of_o we_o who_o be_v now_o unable_a to_o help_v ourselves_o and_o be_v in_o a_o starve_a condition_n will_v be_v put_v into_o a_o capacity_n to_o lend_v their_o majesty_n our_o bill_n of_o credit_n for_o 3_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la who_o now_o pay_v above_o 8_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la perpetual_a interest_n but_o i_o fear_v i_o have_v trespass_v too_o much_o upon_o your_o patience_n and_o therefore_o what_o may_v be_v say_v in_o respect_n of_o trade_n i_o refer_v it_o to_o this_o gentleman_n who_o be_v a_o considerable_a merchant_n in_o the_o city_n and_o

with_o your_o honour_n the_o true_a though_o deplorable_a estate_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o freeholder_n of_o this_o nation_n hope_v you_o will_v be_v please_v to_o take_v it_o into_o your_o
