method_n here_o prescribe_v dear_o pay_v for_o and_o bring_v from_o holland_n to_o england_n for_o expedition_n over_o the_o alps._n 12_o that_o what_o the_o commonwealth_n revenue_n hereby_o may_v be_v advance_v i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o estemate_n but_o do_v leave_v it_o to_o better_a judgement_n only_o shall_v say_v that_o by_o this_o way_n of_o mannagement_n which_o more_o full_o may_v be_v illustrate_v i_o conceive_v all_o fraud_n practise_v by_o officer_n will_v be_v prevent_v beside_o the_o expense_n of_o fifty_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la now_o pay_v in_o

if_o let_n to_o farm_n or_o otherwise_o manage_v by_o person_n interress_v will_v both_o discontent_a the_o merchant_n and_o obstruct_v trade_n for_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o place_v person_n to_o

excise_n and_o custom_n be_v dependent_a one_o upon_o the_o other_o may_v be_v reduce_v into_o one_o entire_a office_n and_o be_v better_o manage_v by_o the_o same_o commissioner_n and_o officer_n to_o the_o ease_n and_o accommodation_n of_o merchant_n in_o their_o dispatch_n and_o the_o trouble_n to_o shop_n keeper_n and_o other_o in_o fetch_v of_o ticket_n the_o chief_a cause_n of_o complaint_n against_o the_o duty_n be_v prevent_v 15_o that_o all_o collector_n and_o receiver_n of_o custom_n their_o journal_n or_o day_n book_n of_o receipt_n may_v serve_v as_o a_o charge_n to_o the_o merchant_n for_o excise_n who_o firm_a may_v also_o serve_v for_o bill_n of_o entry_n at_o custom_n house_n and_o from_o thence_o be_v transfer_v to_o the_o leger_n which_o be_v all_o the_o

upon_o occasion_n ready_a to_o be_v examine_v and_o many_o mistake_n and_o other_o inconvenience_n that_o now_o happen_v between_o both_o be_v prevent_v 16_o that_o in_o order_n thereunto_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o first_o buyer_n the_o merchant_n may_v be_v make_v alyble_n to_o pay_v the_o excise_n who_o do_v the_o same_o voluntary_a already_o in_o all_o the_o out_o part_n and_o many_o also_o in_o london_n sell_v their_o good_n according_o 17_o that_o by_o make_v that_o a_o stand_a law_n which_o be_v now_o so_o different_o practise_v and_o fall_v out_o often_o as_o controversy_n between_o the_o merchant_n and_o first_o buyer_n who_o although_o by_o the_o law_n in_o be_v be_v liable_a to_o pay_v the_o duty_n yet_o the_o merchant_n also_o stand_v oblige_v to_o see_v it_o do_v and_o

of_o the_o merchant_n stand_v liable_a to_o pay_v excise_n four_o month_n time_n may_v be_v give_v he_o to_o pay_v for_o the_o like_a quantity_n he_o enter_v inward_o and_o pay_v custom_n regard_n

per_fw-mi cent_z for_o three_o month_n and_o no_o other_o allowance_n to_o be_v make_v upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o 20_o that_o the_o prejudice_n to_o the_o state_n for_o want_v of_o soon_o reduce_v the_o excise_n to_o a_o more_o certain_a method_n be_v evident_a in_o that_o the_o say_v duty_n of_o excise_n set_v on_o wine_n tobacchoe_n and_o many_o other_o commodity_n be_v double_a as_o much_o and_o in_o no_o particular_a less_o than_o the_o duty_n of_o custom_n yet_o as_o to_o the_o same_o commodity_n it_o ever_o come_v short_a of_o bring_v in_o as_o much_o to_o the_o commonwealth_n revenue_n as_o the_o custom_n have_v by_o many_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la 21_o that_o the_o officer_n of_o custom_n and_o excise_n be_v so_o far_o from_o correspond_v one_o with_o

different_a interest_n which_o show_v how_o unnecessary_a and_o inconsistent_a one_o of_o they_o stand_v for_o the_o public_a good_a 22_o that_o a_o due_a regulation_n may_v be_v make_v in_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o custom_n so_o that_o the_o inferior_a one_o who_o truck_v as_o to_o the_o state_n interest_n be_v great_a than_o the_o commissioner_n may_v not_o be_v enforce_v to_o pay_v

to_o supervize_n he_o but_o according_a to_o this_o method_n they_o will_v be_v one_o supervizer_n to_o the_o other_o 25_o that_o one_o of_o the_o remain_v four_o commissioner_n by_o monthly_a or_o
