a_o free_a port_n be_v there_o house_v and_o private_o sell_v but_o the_o cask_n fill_v up_o with_o stain_a water_n and_o put_v on_o shipboard_n again_o to_o be_v stave_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o ship_n be_v out_o at_o sea_n in_o this_o case_n the_o duty_n of_o those_o wine_n be_v defraud_v as_o it_o also_o may_v be_v many_o other_o way_n 21._o now_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o although_o we_o shall_v trade_n but_o for_o ourselves_o yet_o that_o our_o port_n be_v more_o commodious_a than_o those_o of_o other_o nation_n will_v be_v the_o more_o frequent_v for_o be_v free_a and_o consequent_o the_o more_o enrich_v by_o the_o expense_n of_o seaman_n and_o passenger_n hire_v of_o labourer_n and_o warehouse_n etc._n etc._n even_o without_o any_o custom_n at_o all_o upon_o the_o good_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o a_o small_a duty_n shall_v be_v pay_v upon_o the_o ship_n as_o aforesaid_a for_o such_o use_n of_o our_o port_n and_o that_o eo_fw-la nomine_fw-la not_o

if_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o be_v the_o merchant_n between_o other_o nation_n there_o be_v then_o no_o reason_n for_o exact_v duty_n as_o be_v say_v before_o upon_o thing_n in_o fieri_fw-la and_o which_o be_v but_o in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o improvement_n and_o as_o for_o the_o fraud_n that_o may_v be_v commit_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o wine_n above_o mention_v i_o affirm_v that_o our_o

and_o indifferent_o or_o else_o according_a to_o some_o know_a title_n or_o mark_n of_o distinction_n upon_o each_o and_o that_o either_o of_o bare_a honour_n or_o else_o of_o some_o office_n seek_v

faculty_n 2._o the_o poll-money_n which_o have_v be_v levy_v of_o late_o have_v be_v wonderful_o confuse_v as_o tax_v some_o rich_a single_a person_n at_o the_o low_a rate_n some_o knight_n though_o want_v necessary_n at_o twenty_o pound_n encourage_v some_o vain_a fellow_n to_o pay_v as_o esquire_n on_o purpose_n to_o have_v themselves_o write_v esquire_n in_o the_o receipt_n make_v some_o pay_n ten_o pound_n as_o doctor_n of_o physic_n or_o law_n who_o get_v nothing_o by_o the_o faculty_n nor_o mind_n the_o practice_n make_v some_o poor_a tradesman_n force_v to_o be_v of_o the_o livery_n of_o their_o company_n to_o pay_v beyond_o their_o strength_n and_o last_o some_o to_o pay_v according_a to_o their_o estate_n the_o same_o to_o be_v value_v by_o those_o that_o know_v they_o not_o thereby_o also_o give_v opportunity_n to_o some_o bankrupt_n to_o make_v the_o world_n credit_v they_o as_o man_n of_o such_o estate_n at_o which_o the_o assessor_n do_v rate_v they_o by_o collusion_n 3._o so_o as_o by_o this_o confusion_n arbitraries_n irregularity_n and_o hotch_n pot_n of_o qualification_n no_o estimate_n can_v be_v make_v of_o the_o fitness_n of_o this_o plaster_n to_o the_o sore_a nor_o no_o check_n or_o way_n to_o examine_v whether_o the_o respective_a receipt_n be_v due_o account_v for_o etc._n etc._n 4._o wherefore_o whole_o reject_v the_o say_v complicate_v way_n of_o tax_n i_o shall_v speak_v of_o poll_n money_n more_o distinct_o and_o first_o of_o the_o simple_a poll-money_n upon_o every_o head_n of_o all_o mankind_n alike_o the_o parish_n pay_v for_o those_o that_o receive_v alm_n parent_n for_o their_o child_n under_o age_n and_o master_n for_o their_o apprentice_n and_o other_o who_o receive_v no_o wage_n 5._o the_o evil_a of_o this_o way_n be_v that_o it_o be_v very_o unequal_a man_n of_o unequal_a ability_n all_o pay_v alike_o and_o those_o who_o have_v great_a charge_n of_o child_n pay_v most_o that_o be_v that_o by_o how_o much_o the_o poor_a they_o be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o hard_a be_v they_o tax_v 6._o the_o conveniency_n be_v first_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sudden_o collect_v and_o with_o small_a charge_n second_o that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n be_v always_o know_v it_o may_v be_v sufficient_o compute_v what_o the_o same_o will_v amount_v unto_o three_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o spur_n unto_o all_o man_n to_o set_v their_o child_n to_o some_o profitable_a employment_n upon_o their_o very_a first_o capacity_n out_o of_o the_o proceed_v whereof_o to_o pay_v each_o child_n his_o own_o poll-money_n 7._o the_o next_o poll-money_n be_v upon_o every_o head_n but_o distinguish_v by_o title_n of_o mere_a honour_n without_o any_o kind_n of_o office_n or_o faculty_n as_o duke_n marquess_n earl_n viscount_n baron_n baronet_n knight_n and_o esquire_n viz._n the_o elder_a son_n of_o knight_n in_o perpetuum_fw-la and_o gentleman_n if_o they_o write_v themselves_o so_o this_o way_n be_v much_o more_o equal_a than_o the_o other_o forasmuch_o as_o those_o who_o be_v title_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n rich_a proportionable_o or_o if_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o man_n so_o dignify_v shall_v command_v a_o pre-eminence_n and_o place_n even_o although_o they_o do_v not_o or_o can_v buy_v it_o of_o the_o vulgar_a by_o their_o expense_n my_o meaning_n hereby_o be_v that_o a_o title_n may_v possible_o save_v a_o man_n as_o much_o as_o his_o poll-money_n may_v exceed_v the_o plebeian_n level_v by_o reason_n of_o such_o title_n 8._o moreover_o good_a and_o multiform_a account_n be_v keep_v of_o the_o people_n this_o tax_n may_v be_v also_o easy_o speedy_o and_o inexpensive_o collect_v and_o also_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v compute_v aforehand_o may_v be_v fit_v and_o seize_v according_a to_o the_o need_v of_o the_o prince_n 9_o as_o for_o office_n they_o be_v indeed_o dignity_n for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o pay_v for_o by_o the_o trouble_n of_o administer_a they_o as_o for_o example_n to_o be_v a_o alderman_n suppose_v of_o london_n be_v indeed_o a_o honour_n yet_o many_o pay_v five_o hundred_o pound_n to_o be_v excuse_v from_o receive_v it_o nevertheless_o it_o may_v not_o be_v improper_a to_o tax_n office_n seek_v or_o such_o as_o be_v accept_v although_o they_o may_v be_v refuse_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n no_o titulado_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o pay_v poll-money_n according_a to_o this_o title_n if_o he_o be_v content_v to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o never_o resume_v it_o more_o 10._o the_o title_n of_o faculty_n and_o calling_n ought_v to_o be_v no_o qualification_n in_o a_o poll-money_n because_o they_o do_v not_o necessary_o nor_o probable_o infer_v ability_n to_o pay_v but_o carry_v with_o they_o vast_a inequality_n but_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n by_o his_o licence_n to_o practice_v get_v much_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v he_o will_v spend_v according_o in_o which_o net_n the_o way_n of_o excize_n will_v certain_o take_v he_o as_o it_o will_v all_o the_o officer_n aforemention_v 11._o hearth-money_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o poll-money_n but_o be_v not_o be_v rather_o a_o way_n of_o accumulative_a excize_n of_o which_o hereafter_o chap._n viii_o of_o lottery_n man_n that_o accept_v title_n may_v foresee_v that_o they_o may_v be_v tax_v by_o they_o as_o aforesaid_a although_o it_o be_v unlikely_a one_o house_n of_o parliament_n be_v all_o tituladoe_n and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o other_o be_v such_o also_o that_o any_o such_o way_n of_o levy_n shall_v pass_v and_o therefore_o they_o do_v as_o it_o be_v a_o priori_fw-la consent_n unto_o the_o tax_n in_o their_o own_o individual_n 2._o now_o in_o the_o way_n of_o lottery_n man_n do_v also_o tax_v themselves_o in_o the_o general_n though_o out_o of_o hope_n of_o advantage_n in_o particular_a a_o lottery_n therefore_o be_v proper_o a_o tax_n upon_o unfortunate_a self-conceited_a fool_n man_n that_o have_v good_a opinion_n of_o their_o own_o
