of them and made Provision for the other usual Charges which the War has considerably increas'd by an Express Decree of their Assembly of the Month of December last carrying their Foresight and the Testimonies of their Zeal and Affection beyond whatever We could expect from them have propos'd this Aid to Us and set down the Reasons for which it ought to be preferr'd to all the other Extraordinary Means which we might practise hereafter And indeed this Poll-Tax extending generally over all Our Subjects will prove no great Burthen to every one in particular and being joyn'd to Our usual Revenues will raise sufficient Funds which being Collected without Charge or Delay will render the said Aid the more Speedy Easie and Effectual We do moreover believe that in case the said Collection succeeds as We have reason to think it will it will enable Us for the future to lay aside the extraordinary Affairs to which the necessity of the Times has obliged Us to have recourse promising upon the Faith and Word of a King to annul the said General Poll-Tax within Three Months after the Publication of a Peace For these Reasons and other Considerations Us thereunto moving of Our certain Knowledge Absolute Power and Authority Royal We have by these Presents Sign'd under our Hand Said and Declar'd do Say and Declare Will and it is Our Pleasure That to reckon from the First Day of this Month a General Poll-Tax be Establish'd Rais'd and Levy'd throughout Our whole Kingdom Countries Lands and Lordships under Our Command as well as in the Countries and Cities Conquer'd by Us since the Declaration of this present War by Hearths or by Families payable Yearly during the present War only and not to be Continued or Exacted under any Pretence whatever Three Months after God's having granted Us a Peace That in order thereunto the Intendants and Commissioners sent forth in each of the Generalities Provinces Countries and Districts the Syndics of the Dioceses and of the Estates and the Gentlemen who are to act joyntly with the said Intendants according to this present Declaration do agree about the Rolls of the Division of the said Poll-Tax conformably to the Bill of Rates agreed on in Our Council containing the Distribution of Our Subjects in Two and Twenty Classes which shall be fix'd under the Counter Seal of these Presents Willing that none of our Subjects of what Quality or Condition soever whether Ecclesiasticks Secular or Regular Noble Military or others should be exempted from the said Poll-Tax Excepting only such of our Subjects as are assess'd on the Taille or other Common Impositions under Forty Pence the Mendicant Orders and the Poor Mendicants whereof the Curates of every Parish shall give a List Sign'd and Certify'd by them upon their Honor and Conscience We are perswaded that the Ecclesiasticks will the more chearfully submit to this Contribution seeing that besides that the Interest of Religion and the Zeal which they have always express'd for our Service Ingages them to it their Profession hindring them from serving us in our Armies where most of them should be call'd by their Birth they have no other way on this occasion to contribute towards the defence of the State of which they make up the first Body But in as much as the General Assembly of the Clergy of our Kingdom is to be held this Year and that the Testimonies we have ever receiv'd of the Zeal of that Body makes us presume that they will continue to give us Proofs of the same granting us by a Voluntary Gift Aids proportionable to the Necessities of the State and that it would not be reasonable at the same time to oblige them to Contribute towards the Poll-Tax It is Our Will and Pleasure That at this Time the Clergy and the Members which have a dependence on them be not compris'd in the Assessment which shall be agreed on in Our Council nor in the Rolls which shall be made by the Intendants for the Collection of the Taxes of this present Year Neither do We question but the Nobility of Our Kingdom who daily Expose their Lives and Spill their Blood generously for Our Service and for the Support of the State will as freely Sacrifice so small a portion of their Revenues as that to which the Tax which will be laid on Gentlemen will amount And whereas the Product of the said Poll-Tax is design'd to supply the Expences of the War it is necessary for us to be in a Condition to make use of it during the next Campaign Therefore we do Require and Command all those who are liable to pay their Assessments in two Terms and Equal Payments the first on the First day of March and the second on the First day of June following That Our Subjects who are liable to the Taille do pay the said Tax into the hands of the Receivers of the Taille of every Election or to the Collectors imploy'd by them who shall thereupon remit the Fund of their several Collections to the Receiver-General of the Finances of their Generality And the Citizens and Inhabitants of free Towns which are not liable to pay the Taille into the hands of the Receivers of the Publick Stock of the said Towns who shall afterwards remit the same to the Receivers General of the Finances of the Generality and the said Receivers-General to the Keeper of Our Treasure Royal. That in such Countries in which Estates are held the Roll of the Assessment of the said Poll-Tax be made and settled by the Intendants and Commissioners appointed in order thereunto Jointly and with the Approbation of the ordinary Deputies or Syndics of the said Estates and that all Persons so Assess'd do pay their Tax into the hands of the Collectors and Receivers in ordinary of Free Gifts Subsidies Subventions and other Impositions in Use in the said Countries who will afterwards remit the Fund of their Collection to the Treasurers or Receivers General of the said Estates and they to the Keeper of Our Treasure Royal. That the Roll of Assessment upon the Citizens and Inhabitants of Our good City of Paris be made and sign'd by the Provost of the Merchants and the Sheriffs of Our said City and that the Product of the said Imposition be paid to the Receivers by them appointed who shall remit the same into the hands of the Receiver-General of the City and he to the Keeper of our Treasure Royal. That the Rolls of the said Poll-Tax payable by the Ecclesiasticks Secular and Regular be Sign'd by the Intendants and Commissioners appointed Jointly with and by the Approbation of the Syndic of every Diocese and the Money thereby arising paid into the hands of the Receivers who shall be appointed by the Intendant or Commissary of the District and by the Syndic of every Diocese Which said Receiver shall afterwards remit the Product of his Receipt into the hands of the Receiver-General of the Finances and in the Countries which hold Estates
