A31630	A rod for the fool's-back, or, Dr. Chamberlin and his proposal vindicated from the foul aspersions of a dirty, scurrilous scribler, who pretends to answer the paper of the comparison, between the doctor's proposal and Mr. Briscoe's.

ten_o thousand_o pound_n to_o be_v repay_v as_o per_fw-la doctor_n be_v proposal_n and_o mortgage_v of_o it_o for_o twenty_o year_n and_o then_o pay_v it_o off_o and_o so_o for_o another_o twenty_o

to_o raise_v ten_o thousand_o pound_n on_o two_o thousand_o pound_n fund_z and_o those_o you_o will_v have_v take_v your_o brass_n ticket_n will_v say_v the_o same_o to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n

i_o hope_v they_o will_v better_o understand_v it_o when_o they_o have_v read_v thus_o far_o especial_o when_o they_o shall_v observe_v that_o neither_o this_o mr._n blockhead_n nor_o his_o great_a

it_o be_v esteem_v as_o ready_a money_n now_o since_o both_o the_o blockhead_n and_o mr._n briscoe_n go_v about_o to_o confound_v the_o doctor_n be_v proposal_n with_o this_o false_a notion_n that_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n in_o present_a money_n and_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n that_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n in_o pay_v be_v equal_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o of_o the_o same_o value_n for_o so_o they_o most_o fallacious_o represent_v it_o i_o will_v therefore_o ask_v both_o the_o blockhead_n and_o mr._n briscoe_n this_o one_o question_n suppose_v they_o have_v ten_o thousand_o pound_n to_o

of_o the_o say_a term_n and_o as_o so_o much_o ready_a money_n according_a to_o their_o notion_n be_v to_o be_v value_v which_o of_o these_o two_o offer_n will_v they_o let_v go_v their_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n for_o no_o doubt_v they_o will_v think_v it_o a_o hard_a bargain_n if_o they_o be_v force_v to_o take_v the_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o their_o money_n though_o according_a to_o their_o own_o way_n of_o reckon_v it_o will_v raise_v 22500_o l._n one_o thing_n be_v very_o remarkable_a in_o all_o that_o write_v against_o the_o doctor_n be_v
