A35160	Truth brought to light, or, The corrupt practices of some persons at court laid open whereby Their Majesties and the kingdom have been prejudiced near one hundred and fifty thousand pounds this year; besides other evils that have and do attend it.

for_o the_o same_o but_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o be_v capable_a of_o so_o do_v if_o not_o there_o be_v never_o a_o receiver-general_n but_o what_o will_v willing_o embrace_v the_o opportunity_n of_o have_v the_o employ_v and_o give_v good_a security_n if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o augment_v the_o salary_n fifty_o pound_n a_o year_n during_o the_o war_n and_o when_o all_o be_v do_v it_o will_v be_v find_v his_o majesty_n will_v be_v a_o saviour_n above_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la the_o receiver-general_n for_o the_o county_n of_o hertford_n receive_v in_o the_o year_n 1692_o sixty_o odd_a pound_n for_o travel_v and_o other_o contingent_a charge_n which_o money_n i_o humble_o conceive_v will_v full_o satisfy_v the_o collector_n of_o the_o excise_n be_v it_o give_v he_o over_z and_o above_o the_o travel_a charge_n he_o be_v usual_o allow_v i_o have_v calculate_v what_o the_o poundage_n do_v amount_v to_o that_o the_o receiver-general_n be_v allow_v which_o any_o man_n may_v easy_o do_v suppose_v the_o land-tax_a and_o poll-bill_n to_o be_v three_o million_o of_o money_n as_o i_o can_v conjecture_v it_o to_o be_v less_o and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v thirty_o seven_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o pound_n and_o i_o do_v design_n to_o have_v offer_v some_o thing_n more_o which_o be_v this_o it_o have_v always_o be_v the_o custom_n to_o allow_v the_o collector_n of_o the_o tax_n three_o penny_n in_o the_o pound_n for_o collect_v and_o with_o submission_n i_o conceive_v if_o they_o be_v allow_v but_o two_o penny_n in_o the_o pound_n it_o will_v be_v a_o full_a compensation_n for_o the_o trouble_v they_o undergo_v it_o be_v no_o argument_n to_o say_v three_o penny_n have_v always_o be_v allow_v the_o kingdom_n be_v in_o danger_n and_o the_o money_n be_v give_v to_o public_a uses_n and_o as_o they_o receive_v no_o detriment_n by_o what_o they_o do_v it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a they_o shall_v put_v forth_o their_o helping-hand_n and_o i_o think_v no_o good_a englishman_n will_v grumble_v at_o it_o and_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n this_o penny_n a_o pound_n will_v be_v find_v to_o amount_v to_o twelve_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o pound_n so_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o treasury_n have_v be_v please_v to_o have_v give_v i_o a_o hear_v their_o majesty_n have_v save_v fifty_o thousand_o pound_n this_o year_n for_o the_o money_n that_o the_o receiver-general_n be_v allow_v for_o travel_v and_o other_o contingent_a charge_n will_v full_o satisfy_v the_o collector_n of_o the_o excise_n as_o may_v be_v see_v by_o the_o account_n in_o the_o exchequer_n but_o suppose_v it_o have_v not_o be_v in_o their_o lordship_n power_n to_o have_v make_v the_o collector_n of_o the_o excise_n receiver-general_n yet_o with_o submission_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o have_v propose_v it_o to_o the_o parliament_n who_o will_v ready_o have_v receive_v it_o that_o a_o act_n may_v have_v pass_v and_o one_o thing_n i_o observe_v to_o be_v of_o most_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o the_o government_n consider_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o quarrel_n we_o be_v engage_v in_o that_o be_v the_o sell_v of_o employment_n it_o be_v too_o well_o know_v it_o have_v always_o be_v practise_v so_o it_o can_v be_v no_o scandal_n to_o relate_v it_o but_o there_o be_v many_o evil_n attend_v it_o we_o have_v no_o shibbole_fw-he whereby_o to_o distinguish_v man_n whether_o friend_n or_o foe_n and_o there_o be_v now_o a_o competitor_n for_o the_o crown_n and_o a_o dangerous_a faction_n among_o we_o no_o question_n but_o it_o be_v a_o inlet_n to_o our_o adversary_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o employment_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o conceive_v it_o may_v not_o be_v difficult_a for_o they_o to_o get_v into_o the_o admiralty_n or_o navy-office_n customhouse_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o do_v much_o mischief_n as_o thus_o suppose_v we_o look_v back_o to_o the_o time_n the_o turky-fleet_n go_v out_o when_o we_o receive_v that_o loss_n by_o the_o french_a in_o the_o strait_o and_o when_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o admiralty_n issue_n out_o order_n for_o the_o fleet_n to_o sail_v such_o a_o time_n it_o be_v not_o difficult_a for_o any_o corrupt_a person_n plant_v in_o that_o office_n to_o get_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o or_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o it_o may_v pass_v through_o his_o hand_n upon_o which_o he_o give_v his_o correspondent_o at_o plymouth_n falmouth_n etc._n etc._n notice_n of_o it_o and_o any_o of_o they_o may_v easy_o corrupt_v a_o poor_a fisherman_n who_o sail_v any_o where_o without_o suspicion_n so_o our_o enemy_n from_o time_n to_o time_n soon_o have_v intelligence_n of_o all_o our_o proceed_n and_o no_o doubt_n we_o owe_v our_o loss_n at_o that_o time_n to_o such_o like_a practice_n as_o these_o and_o therefore_o with_o submission_n i_o conceive_v there_o aught_o to_o be_v great_a inspection_n make_v into_o all_o that_o be_v in_o public_a employ_v and_o to_o throw_v out_o such_o as_o be_v find_v to_o be_v disaffect_v but_o then_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v person_n of_o great_a integrity_n that_o be_v entrust_v in_o such_o a_o affair_n otherwise_o it_o may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o only_a as_o a_o artifice_n to_o get_v money_n and_o many_o a_o honest_a man_n turn_v out_o that_o have_v it_o not_o or_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o give_v some_o relation_n of_o a_o matter_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o government_n by_o one_o mr._n george_n everett_n which_o he_o publish_v the_o last_o session_n of_o parliament_n wherein_o he_o propose_v to_o save_v their_o majesty_n a_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n in_o the_o building_n and_o repair_v the_o royal-navy_n and_o it_o have_v be_v before_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n of_o the_o admiralty_n who_o be_v the_o proper_a judge_n of_o it_o a_o year_n and_o a_o half_a yet_o all_o this_o while_n they_o can_v or_o will_v not_o apprehend_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o effectual_o do_v in_o it_o nay_o the_o author_n have_v be_v browbeaten_a by_o those_o who_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o have_v encourage_v he_o it_o be_v certain_o a_o most_o ingenuous_a thing_n and_o not_o to_o be_v confute_v and_o be_v it_o put_v in_o practice_n will_v full_o answer_v what_o he_o have_v propose_v what_o be_v write_v be_v not_o to_o cast_v aspersion_n on_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o admiralty_n but_o that_o the_o nation_n may_v have_v justice_n do_v for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o read_v that_o

their_o majesty_n and_o the_o kingdom_n it_o have_v be_v long_o since_o high_o approve_v on_o by_o many_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o quality_n the_o name_n of_o some_o of_o which_o take_v as_o
