down_o your_o arm_n when_o it_o be_v proper_a so_o to_o do_v this_o remark_n be_v the_o more_o glorious_a for_o your_o majesty_n in_o that_o you_o be_v often_o solicit_v by_o your_o ally_n to_o take_v

you_o can_v not_o forsake_v the_o interest_n of_o your_o ally_n those_o who_o shall_v know_v that_o your_o majesty_n have_v be_v forsake_v by_o several_a prince_n who_o be_v engage_v with_o you_o

still_o receive_v effect_n from_o your_o majesty_n suitable_a to_o your_o promise_n those_o i_o say_v will_v acknowledge_v that_o if_o your_o majesty_n good_a fortune_n have_v appear_v in_o the_o

to_o maintain_v themselves_o and_o consequent_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o augment_v their_o pay_n and_o the_o salary_n of_o all_o workman_n will_v be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o which_o will_v make_v the_o increase_n of_o the_o expense_n answerable_a to_o the_o augmentation_n of_o the_o revenue_n and_o though_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a grievance_n to_o the_o people_n the_o prince_n will_v be_v but_o very_o little_a the_o better_a for_o it_o poor_a gentleman_n who_o estate_n consist_v in_o land_n will_v not_o improve_v their_o revenue_n by_o such_o imposition_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v hardly_o rise_v in_o price_n at_o least_o for_o their_o advantage_n and_o if_o the_o time_n make_v they_o dear_a the_o less_o of_o they_o will_v be_v sell_v

the_o new_a subsidy_n will_v raise_v the_o price_n of_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o family_n which_o they_o will_v make_v shift_n to_o

the_o increase_n of_o imposition_n it_o may_v happen_v that_o such_o augmentation_n will_v lessen_v your_o majesty_n duty_n instead_o of_o increase_v they_o if_o we_o consider_v such_o as_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o when_o good_n be_v at_o a_o reasonable_a price_n people_n buy_v and_o real_o spend_v more_o than_o when_o the_o price_n of_o they_o be_v excessive_a for_o than_o they_o retrench_v even_o those_o which_o be_v most_o necessary_a if_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o consider_v those_o commodity_n which_o be_v carry_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o foreigner_n who_o have_v hitherto_o be_v encourage_v to_o buy_v they_o because_o they_o be_v cheap_a will_v provide_v their_o store_n elsewhere_o if_o they_o can_v

quantity_n of_o fruit_n which_o will_v be_v export_v by_o foreigner_n will_v recompense_v the_o loss_n some_o may_v fancy_v by_o the_o moderation_n of_o subsidy_n moreover_o the_o increase_n of_o imposition_n be_v capable_a to_o reduce_v a_o considerable_a number_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n to_o idleness_n since_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o poor_a people_n and_o workman_n employ_v in_o manusacture_n will_v rather_o be_v idle_a and_o do_v nothing_o than_o consume_v their_o whole_a life_n in_o a_o ungrateful_a useless_a labour_n if_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o the_o subsidy_n hinder_v the_o sale_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o their_o labour_n hinder_v they_o at_o the_o same_o time_n from_o receive_v what_o they_o have_v earn_v by_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o body_n to_o resume_v the_o thread_n of_o my_o discourse_n after_o have_v condemn_v the_o abuse_n of_o the_o service_n comtan_n and_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o augmentation_n of_o subsidy_n be_v sometime_o not_o only_o uselss_o but_o often_o prejudicial_a i_o say_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o geometrical_a proportion_n between_o the_o subsidy_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o state_n that_o be_v that_o no_o imposition_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v but_o such_o as_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o its_o grandeur_n and_o glory_n those_o last_o word_n signify_v much_o since_o they_o show_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o raise_v that_o upon_o the_o people_n which_o be_v
