in_o the_o hundred_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n whether_o the_o want_n of_o judgement_n in_o the_o employment_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o material_n those_o gentleman_n that_o do_v brew_v their_o own_o drink_n may_v not_o be_v as_o cheap_a furnish_v by_o the_o brewer_n be_v a_o question_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o consider_v at_o this_o time_n but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a then_o there_o will_v not_o be_v any_o difference_n notwithstanding_o the_o present_a excise-duty_n but_o that_o it_o be_v high_o just_a and_o reasonable_a that_o a_o malt-duty_n be_v add_v and_o that_o all_o private_a family_n and_o stranger_n aught_o to_o pay_v a_o proportion_n towards_o such_o a_o tax_n will_v easy_o be_v consent_v to_o when_o we_o reflect_v on_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o his_o consent_n for_o take_v away_o the_o court_n of_o ward_n purveyance_n preemption_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o we_o shall_v soon_o find_v how_o reasonable_a it_o be_v that_o both_o private_a family_n and_o stranger_n shall_v contribute_v towards_o such_o a_o duty_n and_o indeed_o unless_o they_o do_v it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v equal_a for_o which_o purpose_n let_v we_o see_v with_o what_o disadvantage_n to_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n that_o king_n grant_v the_o exchange_n but_o by_o the_o way_n i_o shall_v first_o inform_v those_o that_o be_v most_o dissatisfy_v with_o this_o proposal_n what_o king_n james_n the_o first_o say_v to_o the_o then_o prince_n of_o wales_n while_o in_o his_o time_n some_o essay_n be_v make_v for_o the_o abolish_n all_o those_o royal_a advantage_n son_n say_v he_o the_o yearly_a revenue_n as_o be_v now_o offer_v in_o lieu_n of_o your_o court_n of_o ward_n and_o other_o tenor_n may_v make_v you_o a_o prince_n a_o little_o rich_a but_o if_o ever_o you_o accept_v they_o you_o will_v much_o lessen_v your_o greatness_n why_o do_v he_o say_v so_o but_o because_o he_o well_o know_v those_o thing_n be_v notable_a branch_n of_o the_o royal_a prerogative_n from_o which_o the_o crown_n receive_v much_o of_o its_o honour_n power_n and_o dignity_n the_o truth_n be_v most_o of_o our_o gentleman_n at_o this_o time_n be_v of_o a_o new_a generation_n and_o feel_v not_o the_o smart_n of_o those_o grievance_n their_o ancestor_n and_o their_o tenant_n do_v from_o all_o these_o thing_n therefore_o know_v no_o more_o of_o they_o than_o what_o they_o have_v in_o the_o history_n of_o those_o time_n and_o their_o own_o speculation_n deduce_v from_o thence_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_o acquaint_v with_o the_o advantage_n that_o they_o have_v by_o the_o exchange_n i_o will_v give_v some_o touch_n at_o a_o few_o of_o the_o grievance_n by_o which_o the_o rest_n may_v be_v judge_v namely_o the_o denial_n of_o die_v parent_n the_o disposal_n of_o their_o own_o child_n the_o many_o unhappy_a marriage_n that_o too_o often_o attend_v young_a heir_n and_o heiress_n upon_o their_o become_a ward_n how_o be_v such_o person_n ofttimes_o draw_v into_o marriage_n before_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v it_o a_o act_n of_o their_o own_o judgement_n and_o affection_n yea_o and_o what_o force_n be_v put_v upon_o other_o such_o as_o it_o seem_v at_o least_o to_o i_o as_o make_v their_o marriage_n differ_v but_o very_o little_a from_o a_o rape_n i_o can_v but_o believe_v this_o court_n of_o ward_n be_v at_o first_o well_o intend_v or_o sure_o so_o many_o act_n of_o parliament_n can_v not_o have_v be_v make_v to_o confirm_v it_o some_z whereof_z be_v so_o late_o as_o in_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o his_o time_n but_o such_o woeful_a corruption_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o execution_n of_o they_o as_o many_o of_o the_o child_n of_o noble_a and_o worthy_a parent_n be_v so_o dispose_v of_o as_o can_v they_o have_v fore-seen_a it_o nothing_o can_v sure_o have_v be_v a_o more_o melancholy_a representation_n again_o what_o great_a charge_n trouble_v and_o hazard_n be_v the_o lord_n mesne_n put_v to_o by_o assessment_n of_o escuage_z and_o otherwise_o how_o often_o the_o king_n tenant_n in_o capite_fw-la and_o by_o knight_n service_n do_v the_o escheator_n immediate_o seize_v not_o only_o the_o land_n of_o the_o great_a nobility_n gentry_n and_o mean_a man_n but_o the_o stock_n and_o cattle_n also_o on_o the_o ground_n with_o the_o good_n in_o their_o house_n insomuch_o that_o their_o executor_n be_v many_o time_n constrain_v to_o petition_n and_o obtain_v the_o king_n be_v special_a favour_n by_o his_o writ_n to_o have_v a_o allowance_n for_o the_o personal_a estate_n to_o be_v deliver_v back_o again_o let_v we_o likewise_o consider_v what_o hasty_a and_o frequent_a summons_n be_v issue_v out_o at_o the_o king_n pleasure_n even_o to_o the_o chief_a man_n of_o the_o kingdom_n over_o who_o he_o have_v this_o power_n to_o attend_v he_o cum_fw-la equis_fw-la &_o armis_fw-la and_o how_o tedious_a and_o chargeable_a be_v those_o attendance_n to_o they_o what_o work_n be_v make_v also_o among_o the_o country_n farmer_n yeamondry_n and_o market_n people_n what_o exaction_n and_o oppression_n do_v all_o this_o rank_n of_o people_n suffer_v from_o the_o king_n officer_n in_o execute_v their_o preemption_n purveyance_n and_o carriage_n for_o the_o king_n household_n which_o the_o parliament_n in_o the_o preamble_n of_o the_o excise_n act_n complain_v be_v grow_v to_o that_o height_n that_o it_o be_v find_v though_o divers_a strict_a law_n have_v be_v make_v in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o majesty_n progenitor_n some_o extend_v so_o far_o as_o unto_o

something_o more_o to_o add_v that_o will_v or_o at_o least_o shall_v make_v it_o more_o forcible_a than_o all_o that_o be_v say_v before_o which_o be_v to_o observe_v who_o the_o person_n be_v that_o

to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o question_n i_o say_v or_o at_o least_o modest_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o their_o tenant_n the_o country_n farmer_n and_o

let_v it_o be_v note_v that_o these_o advantage_n most_o concern_v all_o those_o family_n in_o country_n town_n who_o brew_n their_o own_o beer_n for_o in_o city_n and_o great_a town_n where_o the_o

they_o do_v the_o country_n to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o question_n viz._n who_o be_v the_o person_n or_o what_o rank_n of_o people_n be_v they_o who_o pay_v this_o excise_n which_o bring_v

of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n judge_v it_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v much_o below_o they_o to_o drink_v in_o such_o house_n otherwise_o than_o as_o they_o be_v by_o travel_v
