also_o and_o sure_a my_o lord_n of_o danby_n be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n a_o little_a before_o his_o go_v out_o for_o he_o have_v almost_o complete_v a_o bargain_n to_o part_v with_o the_o king_n title_n to_o the_o surplus_n for_o a_o considerable_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o have_v be_v esteem_v by_o the_o present_a lord_n commissioner_n as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o revenue_n and_o so_o considerable_a a_o part_n as_o have_v sometime_o come_v in_o very_o seasonable_o for_o many_o important_a occasion_n but_o to_o make_v this_o yet_o more_o clear_a by_o matter_n of_o fact_n it_o will_v be_v proper_a to_o show_v the_o king_n title_n to_o the_o surplus_n by_o this_o short_a account_n viz._n the_o excise_n former_o let_v in_o absolute_a farm_n be_v now_o grant_v to_o mr._n george_n dashwood_n and_o other_o for_o three_o year_n under_o a_o certain_a rent_n with_o several_a limitation_n and_o restriction_n for_o the_o king_n advantage_n viz._n 1._o the_o king_n have_v a_o power_n to_o make_v order_n for_o the_o better_a regulate_v the_o farmer_n and_o their_o officer_n 2._o the_o commissioner_n be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v fair_a book_n of_o account_n of_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o excise_n by_o they_o receive_v and_o upon_o oath_n to_o give_v up_o such_o book_n 3._o a_o certain_a sum_n be_v consent_v to_o for_o the_o yearly_a salary_n and_o allowance_n to_o the_o subcollector_n and_o other_o inferior_a officer_n and_o in_o case_n less_o than_o that_o sum_n shall_v be_v expend_v the_o overplus_n be_v to_o be_v account_v and_o pay_v to_o the_o king_n 4._o that_o at_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o say_a term_n in_o case_n the_o whole_a duty_n of_o excise_n make_v more_o than_o the_o reserve_a rent_n payable_a by_o the_o patent_n they_o the_o say_v george_n dashwood_n and_o other_o be_v to_o have_v a_o further_a allowance_n for_o their_o care_n of_o management_n proportionable_a to_o the_o overplus_n and_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o say_a overplus_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o commissioner_n of_o excise_n for_o his_o majesty_n use_n these_o condition_n perhaps_o have_v two_o respect_n one_o that_o the_o excise_n be_v better_o pay_v when_o collect_v for_o the_o king_n than_o to_o absolute_a farmer_n the_o other_o to_o try_v to_o improve_v it_o but_o however_o it_o appear_v clear_o by_o the_o whole_a that_o the_o king_n have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o the_o surplus_n as_o the_o real_a rent_n and_o since_o all_o profit_n arise_v by_o the_o duty_n of_o excise_n be_v alike_o the_o king_n money_n and_o revenue_n to_o allow_v this_o a_o deduction_n be_v likewise_o to_o agree_v that_o the_o tally_n so_o strike_v upon_o the_o surplus_n be_v never_o to_o be_v pay_v again_o i_o may_v therefore_o presume_v to_o affirm_v confident_o that_o whatever_o either_o of_o the_o rent_n or_o surplus_n have_v any_o charge_n upon_o it_o may_v very_o just_o be_v esteem_v as_o so_o much_o debt_n leave_v on_o the_o revenue_n and_o thus_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v
