reason_n for_o encourage_v the_o bank_n of_o england_n i._o in_o respect_n of_o justice_n and_o common_a right_n ii_o of_o its_o vsefulness_n and_o the_o public_a good_n first_o as_o to_o justice_n and_o common_a right_n these_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v i._o in_o anno_fw-la 1694_o after_o all_o way_n have_v be_v try_v to_o raise_v money_n and_o more_o be_v still_o want_v the_o parliament_n do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o tax_n the_o people_n far_o but_o find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o tax_n themselves_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n by_o encourage_v such_o who_o will_v advance_v 1200000_o l._n to_o receive_v the_o recompense_n and_o advantage_n propose_v in_o the_o act_n for_o erect_v the_o bank_n which_o be_v frame_v on_o purpose_n to_o convince_v every_o man_n it_o be_v his_o rivate_a interest_n to_o serve_v the_o public_a and_o the_o advance_v the_o money_n be_v a_o voluntary_a act_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o advantage_n offer_v which_o be_v propose_v for_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o encourage_v the_o advance_v the_o money_n upon_o the_o credit_n and_o reputation_n of_o that_o act_n which_o therefore_o ought_v not_o now_o to_o be_v shake_v ii_o the_o encouragement_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o advantage_n propose_v but_o in_o the_o certainty_n and_o assurance_n the_o people_n depend_v on_o to_o enjoy_v they_o for_o the_o term_n of_o eleven_o year_n be_v grant_v by_o the_o high_a sanction_n the_o government_n can_v make_v and_o such_o as_o may_v be_v rely_v on_o secure_o that_o the_o say_a term_n shall_v not_o be_v shorten_v nor_o the_o condition_n alter_v or_o change_v much_o less_o weaken_a and_o make_v worse_o which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o main_a encouragement_n to_o the_o bring_n in_o the_o money_n so_o the_o least_o disappointment_n of_o the_o people_n just_a expectation_n to_o enjoy_v the_o promise_a advantage_n full_o and_o sole_o for_o the_o say_v eleven_o year_n will_v lessen_v the_o public_a credit_n and_o discourage_v loan_n to_o the_o government_n hereafter_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o since_o the_o power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v make_v such_o a_o constitution_n the_o honour_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v maintain_v it_o iii_o beside_o the_o parliamentary_a authority_n which_o the_o subscriber_n rely_v on_o the_o king_n by_o his_o commission_n do_v declare_v his_o royal_a intention_n and_o give_v his_o gracious_a assurance_n of_o promote_a the_o design_n of_o the_o say_a act_n and_o put_v the_o same_o in_o execution_n that_o the_o corporation_n may_v be_v settle_v to_o its_o own_o content_a as_o the_o word_n of_o his_o commission_n be_v iu._n and_o his_o majesty_n the_o more_o powerful_o to_o induce_v a_o free_a and_o liberal_a contribution_n annex_v to_o his_o commission_n the_o draught_n of_o the_o charter_n he_o intend_v that_o all_o his_o subject_n before_o they_o part_v with_o their_o money_n may_v know_v what_o the_o recompense_n be_v which_o they_o be_v to_o expect_v and_o the_o say_a draught_n be_v print_v and_o copy_n disperse_v that_o every_o man_n may_v have_v a_o true_a prospect_n of_o the_o advantage_n he_o be_v to_o enjoy_v which_o be_v these_o viz._n first_o that_o this_o bank_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a bank_n in_o england_n which_o be_v not_o only_o plain_o import_v by_o its_o very_a name_n but_o also_o by_o the_o reason_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o word_n of_o exclusion_n in_o the_o charter_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o be_v apprehend_v that_o the_o same_o privilege_n shall_v be_v grant_v to_o any_o other_o such_o corporation_n because_o such_o a_o grant_n must_v of_o necessity_n destroy_v the_o very_a design_n of_o the_o act_n for_o erect_v the_o bank_n it_o be_v a_o know_a rule_n in_o law_n that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n introductive_a of_o a_o new_a law_n imply_v a_o negative_a so_o that_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n in_o point_n of_o law_n have_v the_o same_o security_n against_o erect_v any_o other_o bank_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o provide_v for_o in_o the_o very_a act._n and_o can_v any_o man_n think_v in_o case_n either_o the_o king_n or_o parliament_n have_v tell_v the_o subscriber_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o bank_n to_o continue_v for_o eleven_o year_n but_o yet_o that_o in_o a_o year_n or_o two_o time_n other_o bank_n shall_v be_v erect_v by_o the_o like_a authority_n that_o any_o person_n will_v have_v venture_v to_o subscribe_v one_o penny_n and_o indeed_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o act_n declare_v shall_v be_v recompense_n and_o advantage_n will_v cease_v from_o be_v so_o when_o other_o bank_n be_v erect_v by_o like_a authority_n and_o the_o certain_a recompense_n and_o advantage_n by_o the_o act_n intend_v will_v at_o this_o rate_n become_v certain_a disadvantage_n to_o the_o subscriber_n beside_o common_a experience_n confirm_v we_o that_o the_o crown_n never_o grant_v the_o same_o thing_n twice_o for_o when_o a_o charter_n grant_v certain_a privilege_n to_o one_o society_n it_o be_v never_o know_v that_o another_o charter_n grant_v the_o same_o to_o any_o other_o moreover_o the_o practice_n of_o other_o nation_n do_v convince_v the_o subscriber_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a bank_n of_o england_n there_o be_v no_o know_a government_n in_o the_o world_n that_o ever_o erect_v two_o bank_n by_o public_a authority_n which_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v ground_v on_o reason_n of_o state_n for_o if_o two_o or_o more_o bank_n be_v establish_v the_o credit_n will_v be_v divide_v and_o become_v less_o useful_a to_o any_o nation_n and_o though_o both_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v equal_o willing_a to_o serve_v the_o government_n yet_o each_o will_v render_v the_o other_o unable_a to_o do_v it_o by_o the_o industry_n and_o endeavour_n the_o one_o will_v use_v to_o supplant_v and_o undermine_v the_o other_o in_o regard_n their_o several_a interest_n be_v either_o different_a from_o or_o opposite_a to_o each_o other_o will_v natural_o engage_v they_o both_o in_o perpetual_a contradiction_n and_o dispute_n second_o the_o second_o recompense_n be_v that_o the_o subscriber_n shall_v be_v incorporate_v by_o a_o charter_n with_o the_o usual_a power_n grant_v to_o other_o corporation_n as_o well_o as_o those_o particular_o direct_v by_o the_o act_n which_o when_o grant_v to_o other_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n take_v away_o from_o the_o present_a bank_n three_o that_o each_o member_n shall_v have_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o capital_a stock_n of_o 1200000_o l._n in_o proportion_n to_o his_o subscription_n four_o and_o also_o in_o the_o yearly_a fund_z of_o 100000_o l._n per_fw-la

which_o liberty_n will_v be_v much_o impair_v when_o the_o same_o be_v grant_v to_o other_o last_o if_o the_o time_n be_v consider_v when_o this_o money_n be_v advance_v viz._n in_o 1694._o it_o must_v appear_v the_o subscriber_n can_v not_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v advance_v their_o money_n so_o cheerful_o on_o the_o bare_a encouragement_n of_o the_o 8_o per_fw-la cent._n in_o regard_n at_o that_o time_n they_o can_v have_v make_v more_o of_o their_o money_n by_o 14_o to_o 20_o per_fw-la cent._n over_o and_o above_o the_o 8_o per_fw-la cent._n in_o lend_v it_o upon_o other_o fund_n which_o the_o goldsmith_n and_o tallymonger_n well_o know_v to_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o the_o 8_o per_fw-la cent._n be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o encouragement_n to_o the_o contributer_n who_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o other_o advantage_n propose_v by_o the_o act_n and_o the_o term_n of_o their_o duration_n and_o the_o other_o consequence_n of_o the_o same_o without_o which_o they_o have_v never_o write_v and_o therefore_o see_v they_o have_v write_v and_o pay_v their_o money_n in_o full_a assurance_n of_o those_o advantage_n it_o can_v seem_v justice_n or_o equity_n to_o deprive_v they_o of_o any_o one_o of_o they_o or_o to_o shorten_v the_o term_n grant_v for_o their_o enjoy_v they_o especial_o consider_v the_o hazard_n they_o do_v run_v in_o case_n 600000_o l._n have_v not_o be_v subscribe_v for_o than_o they_o must_v for_o eleven_o year_n have_v be_v confine_v to_o the_o 8_o per_fw-la cent._n without_o a_o charter_n and_o other_o the_o advantage_n consequential_a thereupon_o which_o will_v have_v be_v such_o a_o bargain_n at_o that_o time_n that_o none_o will_v have_v take_v off_o their_o hand_n for_o 20_o per_fw-la cent._n of_o their_o
