A55526	Humble proposalls to the honorable the Councell for Trade and all merchants and others who desire to improve their estates, shevving what particulars if enacted by Parliament would (as with due submission is conceived) conduce to advance trade, imploy the poore, diminish interest, improve publique revenues; and prevent the cruelty of creditors, and the injustice of debtors. Tending (likewise) speedily to promote the enterprise discovered in a late treatise, entituled, The key of wealth, and in an abstract thereof, called, The trades-man's jewel.

for_o the_o future_a will_v deliver_v ware_n upon_o trust_n without_o such_o bill_n and_o those_o that_o have_v already_o so_o deliver_v ware_n will_v immediate_o upon_o the_o commence_v of_o this_o act_n demand_v such_o bill_n from_o their_o debtor_n the_o reason_n be_v clear_a because_o no_o man_n will_v be_v willing_a that_o another_o shall_v have_v better_a security_n than_o himself_o when_o he_o himself_o may_v have_v the_o same_o security_n for_o ask_v which_o

if_o other_o obtain_v he_o shall_v miss_v of_o it_o make_v his_o debt_n liable_a to_o secure_v the_o debt_n of_o those_o other_o but_o not_o the_o debt_n of_o those_o other_o to_o secure_v he_o now_o if_o every_o man_n do_v at_o once_o demand_v of_o these_o bill_n for_o his_o debt_n it_o will_v immediate_o follow_v that_o every_o man_n hand_n will_v be_v full_a of_o these_o bill_n so_o as_o there_o will_v be_v as_o many_o bill_n disperse_v at_o once_o throughout_o the_o land_n as_o the_o debt_n of_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o nation_n do_v amount_v unto_o the_o mean_n to_o accomplish_v which_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v discover_v the_o clear_n of_o the_o second_o particular_a follow_v sect_n iii_o now_o that_o these_o bill_n will_v hereupon_o become_v so_o far_o forth_o currant_n as_o to_o pass_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n for_o commodity_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o trader_n in_o england_n but_o be_v use_v to_o trust_v some_o one_o person_n or_o other_o and_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o some_o one_o or_o other_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o trust_v he_o let_v it_o therefore_o be_v suppose_v that_o a._n have_v take_v up_o ware_n of_o b._n and_o that_o this_o b._n have_v credit_n with_o c._n though_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o no_o security_n then_o let_v b._n take_v a_o bill_n from_o a._n take_v up_o ware_n from_o c._n and_o

yet_o in_o regard_n that_o c._n be_v willing_a to_o trust_v b._n although_o he_o have_v no_o security_n from_o he_o let_v b._n subscribe_v the_o same_o bill_n which_o he_o have_v of_o a._n engage_v himself_o thereby_o to_o make_v it_o good_a in_o case_n a._n shall_v fail_v so_o to_o do_v hereby_o c._n will_v have_v double_a security_n for_o if_o b._n shall_v fail_v yet_o a._n be_v bind_v to_o make_v good_a the_o debt_n neither_o will_n c._n much_o doubt_v but_o that_o a._n be_v of_o some_o ability_n or_o else_o his_o friend_n b._n will_v not_o have_v trust_v he_o further_o let_v c._n have_v credit_n with_o d._n take_v up_o ware_n upon_o the_o same_o bill_n engage_v himself_o to_o make_v it_o good_a thus_o shall_v d._n have_v treble_a security_n viz._n both_o from_o a._n b_o and_z c._n which_o with_o his_o own_o credit_n as_o a_o four_o person_n can_v choose_v but_o enable_v he_o to_o take_v up_o ware_n upon_o this_o bill_n much_o better_a than_o upon_o his_o own_o single_a

become_v due_a so_o that_o from_o all_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o if_o bill_n will_v but_o pass_v the_o first_o hand_n they_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o pass_v current_o through_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o they_o increase_v by_o the_o interest_n in_o every_o man_n hand_n during_o the_o time_n of_o their_o lie_v by_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v and_o it_o be_v as_o clear_v that_o except_o man_n cease_v for_o the_o future_a to_o deal_v any_o more_o upon_o credit_n these_o bill_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v accept_v at_o the_o first_o hand_n especial_o in_o regard_n that_o they_o will_v prove_v as_o good_a security_n at_o the_o very_a first_o hand_n as_o if_o the_o debtor_n have_v confess_v a_o judgement_n for_o the_o payment_n of_o they_o now_o if_o every_o man_n hand_n be_v full_a of_o such_o bill_n as_o will_v pass_v for_o money_n what_o man_n be_v there_o but_o for_o the_o improvement_n of_o his_o stock_n will_v be_v take_v up_o
