A30310	An essay upon the excising of malt: as also, the present case of tallies consider'd. By A. Burnaby, of the Middle-Temple.	Burnaby, A. (Anthony)	1696 (1696)	Wing B5741; ESTC R213421	21,674	87

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

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

but_o that_o no_o tax_n can_v be_v equal_a or_o just_a without_o be_v possess_v of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o property_n beforenamed_a i_o mean_v such_o a_o tax_n as_o can_v be_v hope_v will_v

for_o if_o the_o charge_n be_v very_o great_a in_o the_o collection_n his_o majesty_n may_v almost_o as_o well_o pay_v interest_n for_o money_n the_o difference_n will_v not_o be_v very_o great_a four_o that_o the_o collection_n be_v not_o attend_v with_o much_o trouble_n to_o those_o that_o be_v to_o pay_v the_o tax_n perhaps_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a complaint_n make_v of_o the_o

be_v make_v upon_o a_o narrow_a inspection_n that_o tax_n will_v not_o be_v find_v to_o be_v so_o very_o unreasonable_a as_o some_o have_v rash_o conclude_v for_o whatever_o tax_n be_v attend_v with_o this_o sort_n of_o trouble_n will_v always_o cause_v great_a murmur_n especial_o in_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o be_v those_o that_o chief_o complain_v against_o the_o hearth-money_n for_o when_o people_n part_n with_o their_o money_n especial_o the_o poor_a sort_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o find_v fault_n and_o murmur_n on_o the_o least_o occasion_n therefore_o regard_v aught_o

five_o a_o near_a estimate_n how_o much_o it_o will_v raise_v aught_o to_o be_v know_v the_o parliament_n have_v find_v by_o experience_n the_o trouble_v they_o have_v have_v in_o levy_v a_o fresh_a
