great_a calamity_n but_o that_o be_v without_o example_n in_o some_o 100_o be_v of_o year_n past_a suffer_v yet_o have_v the_o whole_a city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n and_o suburb_n be_v

from_o time_n to_o time_n the_o undertaker_n will_v likewise_o provide_v surveyor_n to_o view_n all_o the_o house_n secure_v to_o the_o end_v no_o more_o money_n be_v secure_v on_o they_o than_o

in_o such_o manner_n as_o any_o one_o resort_v thither_o may_v see_v how_o much_o money_n be_v secure_v on_o any_o house_n that_o shall_v happen_v to_o be_v burn_v and_o then_o find_v how_o much_o

house_n secure_v by_o this_o method_n the_o undertaker_n have_v already_o set_v out_o and_o will_v then_o settle_v on_o such_o trustee_n as_o the_o subscriber_n shall_v nominate_v and_o in_o such_o

that_o they_o will_v from_o time_n to_o time_n give_v such_o further_a security_n as_o shall_v by_o the_o say_a trustee_n be_v reasonable_o require_v l._n the_o security_n give_v be_v 20000_o l_o the_o money_n deposit_v for_o 2000_o house_n be_v but_o 2000_o l._n now_o the_o benefit_n of_o secure_v house_n according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a method_n beside_o the_o little_a ready_a money_n it_o require_v may_v be_v consider_v from_o these_o particular_n 1._o that_o the_o subscriber_n do_v intrust_v the_o undertaker_n but_o with_o a_o very_a inconsiderable_a sum_n of_o money_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o security_n give_v 2._o that_o the_o subscription-money_n which_o be_v the_o main_a fund_z be_v most_o safe_a because_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o subscriber_n own_o hand_n and_o sufficient_a to_o answer_v plentiful_o any_o loss_n may_v probable_o happen_v by_o fire_n this_o method_n of_o secure_v house_n be_v most_o easy_a because_o no_o one_o casualty_n can_v charge_v any_o man_n above_o the_o subscribe_v money_n be_v the_o loss_n by_o fire_n never_o so_o great_a nor_o any_o lesser_a sum_n but_o as_o casualty_n by_o fire_n happen_v to_o the_o house_n of_o the_o society_n and_o for_o the_o better_a serve_v all_o man_n occasion_n it_o will_v be_v so_o order_v that_o any_o one_o of_o the_o society_n may_v remove_v their_o subscription_n from_o one_o house_n to_o another_o unless_o the_o say_a house_n be_v mortgage_v sell_v or_o otherwise_o convey_v to_o other_o as_o a_o secure_a house_n of_o which_o the_o mortgagee_n or_o purchaser_n be_v desire_v to_o give_v notice_n to_o the_o clerk_n attend_v the_o office_n 3._o the_o more_o enter_v into_o this_o society_n make_v the_o fund_z by_o which_o the_o house_n be_v secure_v the_o great_a and_o the_o charge_v the_o less_o and_o if_o the_o number_n may_v be_v such_o as_o gives_z the_o undertaker_n encouragement_n they_o will_v at_o their_o own_o charge_n hire_v a_o competent_a number_n of_o skilful_a man_n who_o shall_v on_o any_o fire_n resort_n thither_o to_o quench_v the_o same_o and_o will_v also_o give_v badge_n to_o porter_n of_o know_a credit_n to_o help_v to_o remove_v and_o carry_v good_n who_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o say_v badge_n until_o they_o have_v give_v security_n for_o the_o true_a performance_n of_o their_o trust_n and_o last_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o we_o can_v imagine_v can_v hinder_v any_o one_o from_o enter_v into_o this_o society_n but_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o charge_n we_o have_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o such_o as_o may_v be_v incline_v make_v we_o hope_v a_o reasonable_a computation_n as_o near_o as_o can_v be_v guest_n of_o all_o the_o loss_n by_o fire_n within_o 15._o year_n next_o follow_v the_o great_a conflagration_n for_o in_o such_o case_n there_o can_v be_v no_o better_a calculation_n make_v then_o by_o compare_v the_o future_a with_o the_o past_a in_o london_n &_o the_o liberty_n in_o the_o say_v 15._o year_n there_o be_v near_o 100_o house_n burn_v which_o at_o 300_o l._n a_o house_n one_o with_o another_o the_o loss_n will_v amount_v to_o 30000_o l._n which_o divide_v into_o 15._o part_n make_v 2000_o l._n loss_n every_o year_n now_o to_o repair_v this_o loss_n what_o must_v every_o owner_n if_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o engage_v in_o this_o society_n pay_n we_o answer_v that_o suppose_v to_o keep_v within_o

the_o owner_n pay_v each_o man_n to_o discharge_v the_o 30000_o l._n by_o 2000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la year_n there_o be_v more_o than_o 24000_o house_n in_o london_n and_o the_o liberty_n if_o 2000_o house_n be_v secure_v at_o 300_o l._n a_o house_n the_o stock_n will_v be_v 9000_o l._n if_o 5000_o house_n be_v secure_v at_o 300_o l._n a_o house_n the_o stock_n will_v be_v 22500l._n which_o be_v 3_o time_n as_o much_o as_o be_v burn_v in_o the_o say_v whole_a 15_o year_n the_o sum_n of_o 2_o s._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o no_o more_o which_o be_v less_o than_o man_n will_v general_o

house_n from_o any_o casualty_n by_o fire_n from_o which_o calculation_n also_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o reward_n to_o the_o undertaker_n be_v only_o 4_o s._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o secure_v 300_o l._n the_o very_a interest_n of_o five_o pound_n will_v by_o this_o method_n answer_v all_o charge_n of_o casuallty_n and_o the_o allowance_n to_o the_o undertaker_n to_o all_o age_n if_o the_o loss_n by_o fire_n be_v not_o great_a than_o be_v abovementioned_a every_o house_n of_o 10_o l._n rent_n may_v secure_v a_o 100_o l._n of_o 20_o l._n rent_n 200_o l._n of_o 30_o l._n rent_n
