upon_o the_o revenue_n it_o seem_v as_o if_o it_o be_v imply_v that_o it_o be_v never_o to_o be_v pay_v again_o but_o his_o lordship_n reason_n for_o his_o opinion_n be_v that_o those_o sum_n be_v a_o

to_o his_o majesty_n revenue_n if_o these_o two_o branch_n of_o the_o excise_n and_o hearth-duty_n be_v manage_v as_o the_o custom_n be_v and_o not_o farm_a and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o such_o a_o security_n as_o his_o lordship_n call_v it_o for_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o rent_n as_o to_o my_o own_o opinion_n i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o these_o two_o branch_n manage_v as_o the_o custom_n be_v may_v be_v improve_v above_o what_o they_o now_o yield_v as_o well_o as_o the_o custom_n now_o exceed_v what_o ever_o they_o make_v to_o the_o king_n when_o they_o be_v farm_a and_o whilst_o they_o also_o have_v a_o anticipation_n upon_o they_o by_o way_n of_o security_n and_o perhaps_o if_o this_o advance-money_n that_o my_o lord_n danby_n will_v not_o have_v reckon_v as_o

it_o will_v be_v proper_a to_o show_v the_o king_n title_n to_o the_o surplus_n by_o this_o short_a account_n viz._n the_o excise_n former_o let_v in_o absolute_a farm_n be_v now_o grant_v to_o mr._n
