reason_n humble_o offer_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o scotland_n concern_v the_o exceed_a great_a disproportion_n betwixt_o the_o assessment_n of_o that_o nation_n at_o 6000_o l._n per_fw-la mensem_fw-la and_o the_o assessment_n of_o england_n at_o 35000_o l._n monthly_o first_o in_o the_o year_n 1653._o when_v the_o present_a parliament_n be_v interrupt_v the_o assessment_n of_o scotland_n be_v

honourable_a member_n of_o this_o parliament_n may_v very_o well_o remember_v how_o convince_o and_o clear_o the_o scots_a deputy_n in_o several_a conference_n instruct_v a_o vast_a disproportion_n even_o then_o betwixt_o scotland_n and_o england_n assessment_n second_o the_o then_o protector_n and_o his_o council_n without_o hear_v that_o nation_n or_o any_o from_o they_o be_v please_v to_o continue_v scotland_n at_o 10000_o l._n monthly_o still_o when_o england_n be_v reduce_v to_o 60000_o l._n per_fw-la mensem_fw-la and_o now_o when_o england_n be_v bring_v to_o 35000_o l._n per_fw-la mensem_fw-la scotland_n stand_v at_o 6000_o l._n monthly_o a_o burden_n impossible_a for_o that_o poor_a nation_n to_o bear_v three_o when_o scotland_n be_v in_o a_o distinct_a condition_n under_o the_o charge_n of_o all_o their_o force_n and_o army_n and_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o their_o great_a strait_n in_o raise_v money_n the_o assessment_n of_o that_o nation_n never_o exceed_v 9000_o l._n monthly_o at_o most_o and_o that_o neither_o levy_v in_o a_o constant_a way_n nor_o the_o country_n look_v on_o as_o in_o a_o condition_n able_a to_o bear_v it_o even_o in_o their_o most_o flourish_a condition_n and_o great_a commerce_n four_o scotland_n long_o continue_a burden_n at_o 10000_o l._n and_o the_o exceed_a great_a decay_n of_o trade_n there_o except_o the_o import_v foreign_a commodity_n and_o the_o export_a money_n which_o impoverish_v it_o together_o with_o the_o take_n away_o that_o constant_a benefit_n the_o nation_n ever_o enjoy_v by_o export_v their_o staple_n commodity_n which_o always_o bring_v in_o money_n have_v so_o drain_v that_o country_n of_o their_o money_n that_o it_o be_v well_o know_v though_o the_o life_n and_o fortune_n of_o man_n worth_a 1000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la stand_v engage_v they_o can_v not_o at_o this_o day_n procure_v 1000_o l._n of_o ready_a money_n to_o borrow_v any_o where_o there_o and_o although_o some_o pay_n be_v come_v in_o now_o and_o then_o to_o the_o army_n from_o england_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o frugality_n and_o sobriety_n of_o the_o officer_n and_o many_o of_o the_o soldier_n that_o it_o be_v well_o know_v they_o return_v more_o money_n back_o to_o england_n than_o what_o come_v in_o five_o when_o scotland_n trading_n be_v at_o the_o best_a all_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v farm_a seven_a year_n for_o 10000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o it_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v that_o in_o anno_fw-la 1639_o and_o after_o newcastle_n alone_o do_v pay_v 45000_o l._n yearly_a for_o their_o custom_n bristol_n above_o 20000_o l._n and_o several_a city_n in_o england_n more_o than_o all_o scotland_n and_o even_o now_o by_o compare_v the_o custom_n of_o england_n with_o scotland_n a_o vast_a disproportion_n will_v appear_v six_o if_o the_o old_a estimate_n or_o valuation_n of_o yorkshire_n alone_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o full_a valuation_n of_o all_o scotland_n now_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o former_a be_v equal_a to_o the_o latter_a or_o if_o these_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o rent_n of_o any_o forfeit_a land_n in_o scotland_n late_o and_o have_v a_o estate_n in_o england_n also_o be_v advise_v with_o upon_o the_o disproportion_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o they_o have_v pay_v twenty_o pound_n out_o of_o the_o hundred_o in_o scotland_n when_o they_o do_v not_o at_o the_o same_o time_n pay_v six_o pound_n out_o of_o the_o hundred_o pound_n in_o england_n and_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v evident_o appear_v to_o all_o man_n that_o scotland_n plead_v no_o ease_n in_o point_n of_o favor_n but_o mere_o in_o point_n to_o justice_n that_o nation_n be_v most_o willing_a to_o pay_v what_o assessment_n the_o 100_o l._n of_o rent_n in_o england_n pay_v for_o every_o 100_o l_o rent_n they_o have_v albeit_o their_o rent_n consist_v in_o corn_n which_o always_o yield_v little_o more_o money_n than_o will_v pay_v the_o

be_v say_v that_o scotland_n put_v england_n to_o some_o charge_n in_o keep_v a_o army_n there_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o so_o many_o of_o the_o force_n be_v not_o keep_v there_o single_o in_o

particular_a burden_n moreover_o it_o will_v seem_v very_o hard_a that_o because_v six_o or_o seven_o regiment_n be_v keep_v in_o and_o about_o london_n westminster_n and_o hull_n therefore_o these_o place_n shall_v be_v ass_a above_o their_o due_a proportion_n these_o thing_n be_v consider_v it_o be_v humble_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o this_o parliament_n in_o other_o thing_n to_o put_v matter_n in_o the_o like_a condition_n as_o they_o be_v in_o at_o their_o interruption_n at_o which_o time_n scotland_n be_v but_o the_o thirteen_o part_n with_o england_n they_o will_v at_o least_o so_o settle_v the_o assessment_n of_o that_o nation_n now_o until_o it_o be_v make_v more_o plain_o appear_v if_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o they_o be_v not_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o

proportion_n of_o assessment_n can_v upon_o no_o account_n whatsoever_o be_v estimate_v the_o twenty_o part_n of_o england_n and_o hear_v that_o the_o parliament_n be_v to_o assess_v scotland_n at_o
