the_o proposal_n of_o edw._n backwell_n esq_n to_o his_o creditor_n the_o say_a mr._n backwell_n have_v through_o all_o the_o course_n of_o those_o unhappy_a calamity_n which_o fall_v upon_o the_o banker_n and_o their_o creditor_n by_o the_o stop_n of_o payment_n in_o the_o exchequer_n show_v a_o more_o than_o common_a zeal_n and_o care_n for_o his_o creditor_n by_o continue_v the_o payment_n of_o their_o interest_n when_o other_o stop_v and_o when_o he_o can_v receive_v none_o for_o that_o vast_a debt_n due_a unto_o he_o from_o his_o majesty_n have_v reap_v none_o other_o benefit_n from_o this_o his_o care_n than_o a_o unfortunate_a opinion_n in_o his_o creditor_n that_o his_o estate_n which_o have_v be_v indeed_o for_o the_o most_o part_n mortgage_v or_o sell_v to_o enable_v he_o to_o pay_v such_o interest_n be_v sufficient_a to_o pay_v his_o debt_n without_o any_o part_n of_o the_o sum_n grant_v to_o he_o by_o his_o majesty_n patent_n payable_a out_o of_o the_o excise_n by_o mean_n whereof_o very_a few_o of_o his_o creditor_n have_v take_v assignment_n from_o he_o for_o their_o debt_n and_o even_o some_o who_o have_v take_v such_o assignment_n from_o other_o goldsmith_n have_v refuse_v to_o accept_v they_o from_o he_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o of_o the_o banker_n have_v so_o great_a a_o debt_n due_a to_o he_o from_o his_o majesty_n as_o the_o say_a mr._n backwell_n or_o do_v owe_v so_o much_o to_o his_o creditor_n but_o now_o be_v no_o long_o able_a to_o continue_v the_o constant_a payment_n of_o his_o interest_n but_o exceed_o desirous_a to_o manifest_v the_o continuance_n of_o his_o care_n for_o their_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o power_n do_v hereby_o propose_v to_o pay_v unto_o his_o creditor_n one_o five_o part_n of_o the_o principal_n due_a to_o they_o in_o money_n and_o the_o other_o four_o five_o part_n of_o their_o say_a principal_a with_o all_o interest_n due_a for_o their_o whole_a debt_n by_o assignment_n of_o proportionable_a part_n of_o the_o yearly_a sum_n grant_v unto_o he_o by_o his_o majesty_n out_o of_o the_o hereditary-excise_n the_o say_v assignment_n to_o be_v make_v and_o the_o one_o moiety_n of_o the_o say_v five_o part_n to_o be_v pay_v in_o money_n by_o the_o sale_n of_o such_o part_n of_o the_o estate_n as_o will_v be_v soon_o sell_v within_o three_o month_n after_o all_o his_o say_a creditor_n subscription_n to_o accept_v this_o proposal_n and_o upon_o their_o discharge_n such_o security_n as_o they_o have_v for_o their_o respective_a debt_n and_o the_o other_o moiety_n with_o interest_n for_o the_o same_o within_o six_o month_n then_o next_o follow_v by_o the_o sale_n of_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o say_a estate_n which_o be_v convey_v to_o trustee_n who_o be_v to_o raise_v the_o say_v five_o part_n by_o such_o sale_n together_o with_o such_o money_n as_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v from_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o friend_n of_o the_o say_a mr._n backwell_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o be_v secure_v by_o bond_n from_o the_o say_v edward_n backwell_n and_o by_o the_o say_a estate_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o trustee_n if_o they_o may_v safe_o proceed_v in_o raise_v the_o say_v five_o part_n in_o manner_n aforesaid_a by_o the_o general_a consent_n of_o the_o creditor_n wherefore_o this_o proposal_n be_v upon_o condition_n that_o all_o his_o creditor_n shall_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o trustee_n agree_v to_o accept_v and_o subscribe_v the_o same_o before_o christmas_n next_o by_o such_o

be_v absent_a by_o some_o other_o write_v of_o the_o same_o tenure_n to_o be_v deliver_v herewith_o and_o the_o say_v edward_n backwell_n do_v with_o all_o imaginable_a integrity_n assure_v his_o creditor_n that_o he_o have_v no_o reserve_n and_o that_o his_o whole_a estate_n the_o patent_n for_o perpetual_a interest_n on_o the_o excise_n except_v will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a when_o the_o engagement_n thereon_o which_o be_v make_v to_o enable_v he_o to_o pay_v their_o interest_n be_v discharge_v to_o raise_v the_o say_v five_o part_n if_o what_o be_v due_a from_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o pay_v but_o he_o rely_v on_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n who_o have_v promise_v to_o assist_v he_o in_o it_o if_o it_o so_o fall_v short_a and_o to_o the_o end_n his_o creditor_n may_v not_o altogether_o take_v his_o word_n he_o desire_v they_o to_o receive_v satisfaction_n herein_o from_o sir_n william_n pritchard_n sir_n benjamin_n newland_n sir_n john_n buckworth_n john_n bathurst_n and_o christopher_n boone_n esquire_n person_n of_o know_a worth_n and_o integrity_n in_o london_n who_o have_v inspect_v and_o know_v the_o posture_n and_o truth_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o in_o this_o assurance_n he_o hope_v his_o creditor_n will_v rest_v satisfy_v and_o that_o none_o of_o they_o through_o any_o vain_a hope_n of_o make_v their_o condition_n better_o than_o the_o rest_n will_v proceed_v to_o any_o violent_a course_n especial_o when_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o this_o be_v the_o utmost_a satisfaction_n they_o can_v ever_o receive_v from_o he_o or_o his_o estate_n and_o that_o he_o have_v deal_v with_o they_o in_o all_o candour_n and_o integrity_n and_o that_o the_o interest_n which_o he_o have_v pay_v they_o in_o money_n since_o the_o stop_n have_v amount_v to_o above_o 50_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n of_o their_o principal_a money_n and_o be_v more_o by_o 50000_o l._n than_o he_o ever_o receive_v in_o money_n from_o his_o majesty_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n his_o estate_n will_v extend_v no_o further_o now_o than_o to_o one_o five_o part_n of_o the_o principal_a in_o money_n and_o he_o desire_v his_o creditor_n will_v please_v to_o hasten_v their_o subscription_n and_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o payment_n of_o their_o five_o part_n in_o money_n shall_v be_v make_v in_o course_n according_a to_o the_o date_n of_o their_o

the_o subscription_n of_o such_o as_o be_v absent_a above_o 20_o mile_n from_o london_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o preferrence_n as_o if_o they_o have_v subscribe_v in_o london_n fourteen_o day_n soon_o and_o the_o say_v edward_n backwell_n be_v the_o more_o instant_a and_o press_v with_o his_o creditor_n to_o accept_v of_o this_o his_o utmost_a endeavour_n for_o their_o satisfaction_n and_o to_o be_v speedy_a in_o it_o because_o find_v his_o estate_n grow_v daily_o less_o he_o can_v be_v without_o fear_n of_o have_v the_o same_o fate_n attend_v his_o as_o have_v do_v his_o neighbour_n to_o wit_n that_o what_o will_v have_v pay_v five_o per_n cent._n by_o perpetual_a interest_n and_o be_v so_o offer_v by_o be_v refuse_v become_v not_o able_a to_o pay_v three_o after_o almost_o that_o value_n be_v spend_v to_o get_v a_o better_a satisfaction_n and_o this_o he_o instance_n mere_o out_o of_o the_o true_a desire_n he_o have_v whilst_o he_o be_v live_v to_o give_v his_o creditor_n the_o best_a payment_n he_o be_v able_a and_o he_o humble_o desire_v his_o creditor_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o he_o pay_v by_o this_o proposal_n one_o five_o part_n of_o his_o whole_a debt_n in_o money_n whereas_o other_o have_v pay_v the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o by_o assignment_n only_o and_o as_o the_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n he_o have_v sustain_v and_o the_o discouragement_n he_o have_v lie_v under_o by_o and_o since_o the_o stop_n of_o payment_n in_o the_o exchequer_n which_o have_v reduce_v he_o to_o this_o proposal_n have_v never_o lessen_v his_o care_n and_o industry_n for_o obtain_v the_o payment_n of_o the_o perpetual_a interest_n for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o creditor_n so_o he_o assure_v they_o that_o their_o ready_a acceptance_n of_o this_o proposal_n will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o they_o not_o only_o by_o add_v the_o interest_n of_o so_o many_o friend_n for_o the_o better_a obtain_v the_o continuance_n of_o that_o payment_n but_o by_o oblige_v the_o say_a mr._n backwell_n to_o the_o continuance_n of_o his_o care_n for_o that_o purpose_n which_o he_o hope_v they_o will_v believe_v since_o whatever_o will_v remain_v unto_o
