execrable_a conspiracy_n so_o miraculous_o discover_v by_o disable_n the_o king_n and_o his_o friend_n and_o deprive_v the_o government_n of_o the_o power_n to_o oppose_v they_o in_o case_n they_o have_v proceed_v to_o actual_a hostility_n and_o insurrection_n and_o now_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n i_o must_v answer_v the_o obvious_a objection_n which_o the_o gentleman_n and_o people_n of_o better_a rank_n in_o the_o nation_n will_v certain_o make_v to_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v they_o know_v their_o rent_n be_v fall_v their_o land_n every_o day_n throw_v into_o their_o hand_n and_o that_o they_o be_v force_v for_o want_v of_o tenant_n to_o turn_v farmer_n themselves_o and_o to_o stock_n and_o employ_v their_o own_o estate_n all_o this_o be_v most_o certain_o true_a and_o i_o know_v it_o experimental_o myself_o now_o will_v they_o say_v this_o will_v be_v very_o hard_a upon_o we_o to_o pay_v the_o same_o rate_n and_o tax_n as_o former_o when_o our_o estate_n be_v lessen_v a_o three_o part_n of_o their_o yearly_a value_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o admit_v what_o before_o have_v be_v say_v to_o be_v true_a and_o till_o it_o be_v disprove_v by_o strong_a reason_n than_o that_o upon_o which_o it_o stand_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o esteem_v i_o know_v no_o way_n to_o raise_v and_o increase_v their_o rent_n in_o probability_n like_o this_o for_o upon_o the_o circulation_n of_o more_o money_n it_o must_v certain_o be_v more_o plentiful_a and_o all_o those_o little_a hoarder_n and_o banker_n will_v be_v oblige_v to_o let_v some_o part_n of_o they_o circulate_v who_o now_o keep_v it_o up_o and_o money_n become_v more_o plentiful_a all_o country_n commodity_n will_v advance_v in_o their_o price_n the_o rise_n of_o country_n commodity_n will_v enable_v and_o encourage_v tenant_n to_o hire_v land_n and_o will_v advance_v their_o rent_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n the_o money_n grant_v to_o the_o crown_n be_v but_o the_o best_a way_n of_o put_v out_o some_o part_n of_o a_o man_n estate_n for_o die_v improvement_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o like_o sow_v sain-foin_n or_o clover_n which_o from_o three_o or_o four_o shilling_n per_fw-la acre_n will_v raise_v the_o land_n to_o double_a or_o treble_v the_o value_n and_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o in_o it_o the_o experiment_n be_v not_o so_o chargeable_a but_o that_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o nation_n try_v and_o i_o dare_v presume_v to_o say_v there_o be_v scarce_o that_o gentleman_n of_o estate_n in_o england_n but_o will_v upon_o as_o slender_a inducement_n venture_v as_o great_a a_o proportion_n as_o his_o part_n of_o any_o royal_a aid_n yet_o grant_v have_v amount_v to_o for_o the_o improment_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o at_o the_o worst_a shall_v it_o not_o succeed_v yet_o the_o nation_n have_v but_o do_v their_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n and_o themselves_o in_o supply_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o government_n by_o part_v with_o some_o part_n of_o their_o estate_n in_o order_n to_o the_o secure_v the_o remainder_n from_o foreign_a force_n or_o domestic_a usurper_n so_o that_o at_o most_o it_o be_v but_o so_o much_o money_n to_o insure_v the_o kingdom_n from_o the_o devour_a flame_n of_o a_o civil_a or_o foreign_a war._n but_o if_o it_o shall_v succeed_v as_o i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o can_v do_v otherwise_o it_o must_v make_v the_o king_n the_o great_a prince_n and_o the_o nation_n the_o rich_a people_n in_o the_o world_n for_o beside_o the_o advantage_n and_o security_n we_o reap_v by_o enable_v the_o government_n to_o protect_v we_o in_o all_o our_o just_a and_o legal_a right_n at_o home_o against_o the_o machination_n of_o factious_a traitor_n and_o commonwealthsman_n this_o will_v give_v extraordinary_a encouragement_n and_o countenance_n to_o our_o foreign_a commerce_n which_o be_v of_o mighty_a influence_n to_o the_o inland_a trade_n by_o disburthen_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o surplusage_n of_o its_o native_a commodity_n for_o how_o desirous_a soever_o any_o of_o our_o covetous_a or_o ambitious_a neighbour_n may_v be_v to_o spoil_v our_o market_n or_o rob_v we_o of_o our_o trade_n they_o will_v difficult_o be_v persuade_v to_o break_v with_o we_o or_o come_v to_o blow_n for_o it_o when_o they_o shall_v see_v the_o crown_n of_o england_n in_o capacity_n by_o strong_a and_o powerful_a fleet_n to_o give_v law_n to_o the_o ocean_n and_o to_o redress_v the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n do_v or_o offer_v to_o our_o merchant_n though_o in_o the_o remote_a corner_n of_o the_o earth_n nay_o it_o be_v more_o than_o possible_a that_o the_o strength_n riches_n and_o reputation_n of_o england_n may_v thereby_o come_v to_o be_v so_o advance_v as_o to_o render_v it_o the_o great_a emporium_n and_o exchange_n of_o the_o world_n but_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o for_o my_o own_o particular_a i_o be_o for_o ease_v the_o land_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a and_o think_v those_o imposition_n the_o best_a which_o grow_v and_o arise_v upon_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v least_o feel_v such_o as_o the_o duty_n upon_o liquor_n where_o the_o burden_n be_v bear_v by_o so_o many_o and_o in_o such_o small_a proportion_n that_o it_o be_v scarce_o feel_v by_o single_a person_n and_o possible_o it_o will_v not_o hurt_v the_o nation_n by_o some_o imposition_n to_o restrain_v the_o excessive_a luxuriance_n of_o building_n near_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n which_o certain_o make_v the_o nation_n weak_a and_o riketty_n and_o depopulate_v the_o country_n and_o by_o withdraw_v so_o many_o hand_n from_o husbandry_n and_o manufacture_n in_o the_o several_a county_n of_o england_n make_v tenant_n scarce_o and_o rent_n fall_v but_o three_o i_o be_o clear_o for_o set_v the_o saddle_n upon_o the_o right_a horse_n and_o since_o the_o dissenter_n have_v occasion_v more_o than_o common_a necessity_n for_o the_o support_v the_o crown_n and_o secure_v the_o government_n against_o their_o attempt_n to_o oblige_v they_o to_o bear_v the_o great_a part_n of_o that_o charge_n we_o have_v have_v many_o boast_n from_o they_o of_o late_a year_n how_o considerable_a they_o be_v for_o number_n and_o wealth_n now_o since_o they_o have_v by_o their_o repeat_v endeavour_n make_v it_o visible_a that_o they_o will_v mis-imploy_a their_o strength_n and_o riches_n to_o the_o subversion_n of_o the_o present_a government_n there_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n and_o their_o own_o reason_n too_o when_o they_o have_v the_o power_n that_o they_o shall_v bear_v the_o charge_n which_o they_o have_v create_v and_o that_o the_o honest_a and_o loyal_a party_n shall_v not_o be_v oblige_v to_o suffer_v in_o their_o estate_n to_o secure_v the_o king_n and_o government_n against_o their_o disturbance_n and_o wicked_a attempt_n but_o beside_o it_o be_v not_o only_o reasonable_a and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o government_n but_o marvellous_a just_a too_o they_o can_v complain_v of_o adonibezeck_n law_n especial_o since_o the_o return_n will_v be_v but_o to_o pare_v their_o nail_n in_o requital_n of_o their_o cut_n off_o the_o thumb_n nay_o the_o hand_n and_o head_n of_o the_o royal_a party_n they_o have_v have_v their_o day_n and_o take_v all_o it_o be_v but_o just_a the_o royalist_n shall_v have_v they_o too_o and_o take_v some_o the_o riches_n they_o value_v themselves_o so_o much_o upon_o what_o be_v they_o but_o the_o spoil_n of_o the_o late_a rebellion_n when_o they_o grow_v rich_a and_o great_a by_o oppress_v sequester_v tax_v and_o plunder_v the_o king_n the_o church_n and_o the_o loyal_a party_n for_o when_o they_o have_v the_o poor_a royalist_n under_o their_o power_n they_o make_v they_o defray_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o nation_n out_o of_o their_o estate_n and_o sure_o they_o can_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v if_o they_o receive_v some_o part_n of_o the_o measure_n which_o they_o then_o call_v the_o

believe_v it_o so_o high_a a_o point_n of_o reason_n of_o state_n to_o keep_v the_o king_n from_o money_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o be_v able_a to_o traverse_v their_o design_n or_o hinder_v
