A45078	An humble proposal to cause bancrupts make better and more speedier payment of their debts to their creditors than, by long experience hath been found, the statutes against bancrupts do effect, or than any other way hitherto proposed, hath shewen by a well-wisher to trade and the publick good.	Well-wisher to trade and the publick good.	1679 (1679)	Wing H3594; ESTC R9018	5,726	16

law_n as_o will_v never_o perish_v while_o trade_n and_o navigation_n last_v in_o the_o world_n now_o the_o usual_a method_n of_o merchant_n be_v to_o build_v ship_n in_o share_n which_o they_o common_o divide_v into_o 3_o 3_o 4_o 4_o or_o quarter_n part_n if_o of_o small_a value_n but_o ship_n of_o great_a burden_n they_o usual_o branch_n into_o more_o as_o 8_o 8_o 16_o 16_o or_o 32_o 32_o part_n which_o to_o make_v yet_o more_o plain_a to_o our_o purpose_n we_o will_v suppose_v the_o charge_n of_o a_o ship_n to_o cost_v 6400_o l._n though_o the_o cost_n and_o charge_n of_o most_o of_o our_o east-india_n ship_n set_v to_o sea_n come_v to_o well_o nigh_o double_a the_o value_n now_o that_o owner_n who_o have_v 1_o 32_o part_n cost_v but_o 200_o l._n have_v as_o true_a a_o propriety_n as_o he_o that_o have_v 1_o 16_o or_o one_o half_a part_n amount_v to_o 3200_o l._n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o law_n of_o propriety_n she_o can_v undertake_v no_o design_n of_o a_o voyage_n without_o his_o concurrence_n how_o profitable_a soever_o it_o appear_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o owner_n nay_o though_o their_o argument_n to_o he_o be_v cogent_a enough_o to_o persuade_v and_o that_o their_o reason_n convince_v he_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o gain_n attend_v the_o project_n yet_o be_v not_o his_o interest_n to_o consent_v because_o his_o resolution_n be_v fix_v on_o the_o ruin_n of_o that_o owner_n who_o have_v one_o half_a part_n of_o the_o vessel_n in_o regard_n he_o know_v more_o of_o his_o estate_n be_v therein_o lay_v out_o than_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v on_o such_o a_o design_n and_o that_o he_o have_v make_v too_o bold_a with_o his_o credit_n and_o therefore_o by_o stop_v all_o voyage_n he_o constrain_v he_o to_o sell_v at_o great_a loss_n or_o else_o at_o the_o price_n of_o his_o small_a share_n will_v condemn_v the_o ship_n to_o lie_v and_o rot_v by_o the_o wall_n or_o it_o may_v otherwise_o happen_v owner_n design_v she_o a_o voyage_n to_o they_o all_o in_o appearance_n most_o gainful_a but_o with_o such_o merchandise_n she_o fraight_n to_o a_o port_n as_o to_o he_o will_v prove_v more_o twice_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o small_a part_n in_o the_o ship_n by_o bring_v down_o the_o price_n of_o such_o good_n as_o he_o have_v engross_v large_a store_n of_o in_o the_o say_a place_n so_o that_o for_o he_o to_o consent_v in_o the_o voyage_n be_v moral_o impossible_a without_o the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n since_o interest_n to_o he_o and_o all_o man_n be_v always_o reason_n in_o trade_n and_o therefore_o for_o redress_v of_o this_o mischief_n by_o experience_n the_o best_a course_n have_v be_v find_v to_o form_v into_o a_o law_n that_o ⅔_n part_v interest_n shall_v govern_v ⅓_n ¾_n ¼_n and_o ⅝_n part_n give_v law_n to_o ⅜_n as_o do_v 9_o to_o 7_o 16_o etc._n etc._n and_o though_o this_o demonstration_n seem_v too_o prolix_a for_o which_o the_o reader_n be_v kind_a pardon_n be_v beg_v yet_o since_o the_o whole_a argument_n of_o the_o hindrance_n and_o let_v of_o this_o law_n seem_v chief_o to_o hang_v upon_o this_o pin_n of_o propriety_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o use_v plainness_n of_o reason_n to_o pull_v it_o out_o and_o to_o show_v with_o all_o clearness_n that_o particular_a interest_n may_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o common_a concern_v and_o without_o the_o force_n of_o law_n can_v be_v make_v consistent_a with_o the_o public_a good_n furthermore_o this_o instance_n of_o ship_n and_o owner_n bear_v some_o resemblance_n with_o creditor_n and_o their_o debtor_n where_o every_o creditor_n have_v embark_v
