be_v at_o first_o view_n especial_o among_o the_o republican_n who_o can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o part_v with_o money_n to_o the_o king_n may_v look_v like_o a_o pretty_a court-project_n and_o paradox_n but_o as_o i_o be_o no_o courtier_n nor_o have_v the_o remote_a dependency_n upon_o it_o so_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n so_o to_o support_v my_o assertion_n as_o to_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o i_o be_o a_o true_a countryman_n not_o according_a to_o the_o factious_a distinction_n of_o a_o countryman_n as_o opposite_a to_o a_o courtier_n but_o such_o a_o countryman_n as_o will_v by_o support_v the_o honour_n safety_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o court_n also_o advance_v and_o improve_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o country_n for_o let_v the_o commonwealthsman_n say_v what_o they_o will_v the_o court_n and_o the_o country_n be_v not_o two_o separate_a interest_n and_o it_o will_v never_o be_v find_v that_o a_o poor_a exchequer_n make_v a_o rich_a country_n and_o therefore_o first_o in_o point_n of_o reason_n in_o fact_n this_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o more_o money_n the_o king_n have_v the_o more_o money_n circulate_v through_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o that_o except_o as_o before_o what_o london_n and_o the_o good_a town_n of_o england_n expend_v in_o provision_n for_o the_o mouth_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o money_n that_o run_v through_o the_o kingdom_n be_v what_o arise_v from_o the_o branch_n of_o the_o king_n revenue_n for_o the_o king_n money_n be_v real_o current_a coin_n in_o all_o sense_n it_o do_v not_o rust_n in_o the_o exchequer_n it_o do_v not_o lie_v there_o for_o purchase_n mortgage_n or_o other_o bargain_n and_o trade_n but_o do_v continual_o issue_v out_o again_o to_o defray_v die_v constant_a charge_n and_o expense_n of_o the_o government_n and_o be_v distribute_v into_o a_o multitude_n of_o hand_n who_o have_v their_o dependence_n upon_o the_o crown_n and_o these_o again_o issue_v it_o out_o to_o supply_v their_o own_o necessity_n to_o the_o trade_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n for_o the_o native_a commodity_n of_o the_o nation_n so_o that_o it_o run_v in_o a_o continual_a circle_n now_o the_o revenue_n manifest_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o expense_n of_o the_o government_n insomuch_o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v not_o only_o be_v force_v to_o retrench_v his_o household_n expense_n which_o occasion_v a_o great_a consumption_n of_o our_o native_a production_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o circulation_n of_o so_o much_o money_n into_o the_o country_n but_o have_v notwithstanding_o be_v involve_v in_o a_o very_a great_a debt_n the_o supply_v the_o crown_n with_o such_o aid_n as_o may_v enable_v the_o king_n to_o set_v up_o his_o royal_a table_n and_o discharge_v his_o debt_n and_o not_o be_v force_v to_o involve_v himself_o in_o new_a one_o as_o it_o will_v be_v high_o honourable_a for_o the_o king_n and_o nation_n so_o it_o will_v be_v no_o more_o in_o effect_n but_o the_o kingdom_n give_v their_o money_n with_o one_o hand_n to_o receive_v it_o again_o with_o the_o other_o and_o the_o put_v off_o so_o much_o more_o money_n to_o circulation_n throughout_o the_o nation_n and_o this_o again_o will_v likewise_o be_v abundant_o recompense_v both_o in_o our_o foreign_a traffic_n and_o domestic_a trade_n as_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v appear_v in_o its_o due_a place_n but_o second_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a as_o from_o reason_n so_o from_o experience_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o great_a force_n and_o strength_n for_o many_o time_n reason_n may_v be_v so_o bring_v to_o oppose_v reason_n and_o the_o combat_n of_o argument_n may_v appear_v so_o equal_a as_o to_o leave_v the_o judgement_n in_o suspense_n to_o which_o party_n it_o shall_v incline_v to_o yield_v the_o laurel_n of_o truth_n and_o victory_n but_o though_o one_o can_v possible_o see_v into_o every_o minute_n circumstance_n and_o the_o little_a concatenation_n of_o cause_n and_o effect_n especial_o where_o the_o number_n of_o they_o render_v it_o intricate_a so_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o penetrate_v into_o the_o abstruse_a and_o entangle_a reason_n of_o thing_n which_o like_o a_o ruffle_a skein_n of_o silk_n may_v be_v difficult_a to_o be_v wind_v up_o to_o a_o bottom_n yet_o if_o constant_a experience_n show_v that_o thus_o it_o have_v always_o be_v in_o such_o and_o such_o case_n than_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sound_a argument_n that_o thus_o it_o will_v be_v again_o and_o that_o certain_o there_o be_v a_o true_a reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o though_o possible_o it_o be_v too_o intricate_a to_o be_v draw_v into_o a_o demonstration_n though_o for_o my_o own_o particular_a this_o point_n of_o the_o circulation_n of_o money_n before_o discourse_v of_o seem_v so_o forcible_a as_o to_o be_v undeniable_o the_o true_a foundation_n of_o the_o follow_a experience_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n we_o will_v not_o travel_v out_o of_o our_o kenn_n in_o this_o particular_a though_o we_o may_v run_v as_o high_a as_o queen_n elizabeth_n golden_a reign_n which_o we_o have_v be_v tell_v be_v as_o plentiful_a in_o money_n as_o it_o be_v in_o glory_n the_o true_a reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o she_o be_v never_o deny_v any_o money_n by_o her_o subject_n for_o the_o support_n of_o the_o government_n though_o sometime_o she_o reject_v the_o money_n bill_n when_o the_o golden_a hook_n go_v a_o fish_n for_o royal_a prerogative_n but_o to_o come_v near_a home_n it_o be_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o countryman_n and_o citizen_n and_o have_v be_v main_o improve_v and_o insist_v upon_o by_o the_o faction_n to_o beget_v in_o they_o a_o good_a opinion_n of_o their_o commonwealth_n cause_n and_o to_o put_v they_o out_o of_o conceit_n with_o kingly_a government_n that_o money_n be_v never_o more_o plentiful_a in_o this_o nation_n than_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o late_a usurpation_n the_o fact_n be_v plain_a though_o the_o reason_n be_v not_o so_o to_o the_o many_o but_o this_o will_v unriddle_v the_o matter_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v nothing_o so_o considerable_a then_o as_o now_o and_o the_o loss_n at_o sea_n be_v extraordinary_a it_o be_v compute_v that_o the_o nation_n lose_v during_o the_o war_n with_o spain_n above_o 300_o sail_n of_o ship_n beside_o their_o good_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v this_o those_o usurper_n raise_v what_o tax_n they_o please_v upon_o the_o nation_n and_o constant_o above_o double_a the_o king_n be_v present_a revenue_n yearly_o and_o many_o time_n treble_a and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o usurpation_n to_o keep_v up_o great_a fleet_n at_o sea_n and_o force_n at_o land_n the_o payment_n of_o these_o and_o the_o charge_n they_o be_v at_o to_o keep_v themselves_o in_o and_o the_o king_n out_o of_o possession_n of_o these_o kingdom_n oblige_v they_o to_o issue_n out_o that_o money_n which_o come_v in_o upon_o the_o assessment_n excise_n custom_n crown_n and_o church-land_n sequestration_n and_o other_o fund_n for_o the_o defray_n of_o their_o charge_n by_o which_o mean_n there_o be_v double_a and_o treble_a the_o quantity_n of_o the_o king_n revenue_n which_o constant_o circulate_v through_o the_o whole_a nation_n by_o reason_n whereof_o money_n be_v make_v plentiful_a and_o all_o commodity_n bear_v a_o considerable_a rate_n land_n let_v at_o good_a price_n and_o those_o heavy_a and_o illegal_a tax_n be_v the_o less_o feel_v and_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a case_n that_o the_o nation_n receive_v a_o benefit_n by_o it_o too_o they_o shall_v be_v unwilling_a to_o assist_v their_o lawful_a king_n since_o they_o can_v so_o tame_o submit_v to_o do_v it_o to_o those_o usurper_n and_o to_o come_v a_o little_a near_o let_v it_o be_v inspect_v and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v true_a since_o his_o majesty_n happy_a return_n that_o money_n be_v never_o more_o plentiful_a nor_o land_n let_v better_a than_o when_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o free_a supply_n which_o the_o loyal_a long-parliament_n give_v he_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o crown-revenue_n run_v brisk_o through_o the_o nation_n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o money_n have_v never_o be_v so_o scarce_o within_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n as_o for_o these_o last_o six_o or_o seven_o year_n that_o the_o conspirator_n of_o the_o faction_n get_v into_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o stop_v the_o money-spring_n according_a to_o the_o advice_n and_o project_n of_o the_o e._n of_o shaftsbury_n the_o english_a achitophel_n who_o devilish_a counsel_n this_o be_v and_o though_o not_o in_o itself_o treasonable_a yet_o be_v by_o he_o and_o his_o traitorous_a adherent_n design_v as_o one_o principal_a way_n and_o means_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o accomplish_v their_o

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

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
