a_o proposal_n for_o the_o speedy_a enrich_v both_o of_o the_o king_n and_o people_z london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1662._o to_o my_o ever_o honour_a friend_n sir_n edward_z ford_z knight_n sir_n the_o various_a fortune_n general_o befalling_a paper_n that_o have_v take_v leave_n of_o their_o author_n have_v bring_v one_o of_o you_o into_o my_o hand_n which_o i_o find_v to_o be_v a_o design_n may_v if_o once_o know_v happy_o prove_v of_o singular_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n to_o our_o king_n and_o all_o his_o people_n by_o propose_v one self_o same_o way_n and_o that_o easy_a and_o certain_a for_o the_o general_a happiness_n of_o both_o though_o our_o modern_a politician_n who_o have_v not_o yet_o the_o milk_n of_o their_o belove_a nurse_n rebellion_n squeeze_a out_o of_o their_o nose_n with_o unparallelled_a arrogance_n endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v the_o welfare_n of_o our_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n altogether_o incompatible_a i_o can_v no_o more_o avoid_v publish_v this_o excellent_a subject_n than_o i_o now_o know_v how_o to_o excuse_v myself_o for_o do_v it_o but_o like_o a_o girl_n that_o marry_v without_o her_o friend_n consent_n which_o she_o be_v sure_a never_o to_o obtain_v i_o think_v it_o be_v less_o sin_n to_o do_v it_o without_o your_o knowledge_n than_o against_o your_o will_n and_o so_o more_o pardonable_a in_o sir_n your_o most_o faithful_a humble_a servant_n f._n burghill_n a_o proposal_n for_o the_o speedy_a enrich_a both_o of_o the_o king_n and_z people_z necessity_n we_o true_o say_v be_v the_o mother_n of_o

with_o that_o groundwork_n of_o rebellion_n a_o endeavour_n to_o keep_v their_o king_n poor_a that_o his_o necessity_n may_v compel_v he_o to_o sell_v his_o just_a prerogative_n for_o their_o inconsiderable_a money_n his_o birthright_n for_o their_o mess_n of_o pottage_n if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o several_a good_a husbandry_n of_o free_a state_n we_o find_v their_o design_n to_o get_v themselves_o credit_n one_o of_o the_o first_o and_o most_o thrive_a to_o compass_v this_o credit_n they_o prudent_o observe_v that_o all_o coin_n be_v real_o but_o such_o token_n of_o account_n between_o man_n as_o be_v certain_a to_o yield_v so_o much_o as_o they_o be_v receive_v for_o and_o that_o other_o like_a token_n of_o account_n as_o letter_n of_o credit_n bill_n bond_n etc._n etc._n be_v for_o their_o great_a conveniency_n accept_v nay_o often_o prefer_v before_o money_n though_o their_o security_n be_v far_o from_o be_v infallible_a upon_o these_o observation_n they_o most_o political_o raise_v themselves_o a_o bank_n of_o money_n enough_o to_o give_v they_o credit_n and_o no_o more_o for_o no_o considerate_a man_n can_v believe_v that_o they_o have_v so_o much_o money_n as_o they_o give_v out_o bill_n for_o what_o then_o do_v they_o get_v but_o lose_v their_o charge_n of_o guard_v their_o bank_n and_o keep_v account_n and_o with_o this_o true_o deceitful_a credit_n they_o drive_v on_o all_o profirable_a trade_n and_o design_n and_o so_o grow_v real_o rich_a by_o these_o then_o though_o their_o bill-credit_n be_v visible_o capable_a of_o deceive_v their_o creditor_n and_o no_o way_n able_a to_o give_v such_o satisfaction_n that_o a_o land_n bank_n may_v we_o may_v learn_v that_o 1._o it_o be_v practicable_a for_o all_o free_a state_n have_v it_o 2._o it_o be_v profitable_a or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o all_o continue_v it_o 3._o it_o be_v compassable_a for_o they_o have_v bring_v their_o people_n to_o it_o on_o slender_a and_o unknown_a security_n 4._o it_o be_v not_o grievous_a to_o the_o subject_a for_o they_o never_o complain_v or_o grumble_v at_o it_o 5._o it_o lessen_v not_o but_o increase_v coin_n for_o what_o monarch_n lend_v such_o sum_n as_o little_a genoa_n to_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n that_o great_a master_n and_o merchant_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n have_v then_o before_o we_o such_o clear_a profitable_a and_o
