great_a impost_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o raise_v they_o though_o it_o be_v very_o just_a yet_o do_v much_o less_o exhaust_v the_o kingdom_n than_o the_o manner_n of_o raise_v they_o now_o at_o that_o time_n credit_n and_o protection_n have_v room_n the_o gentleman_n that_o have_v credit_n protect_v his_o parish_n and_o especial_o his_o farmer_n and_o cause_v their_o tax_n to_o be_v

make_v friend_n to_o shelter_v themselves_o from_o oppression_n thus_o the_o whole_a burden_n fall_v upon_o people_n without_o protection_n and_o without_o friend_n who_o indeed_o be_v utter_o miserable_a but_o at_o least_o there_o remain_v in_o the_o kingdom_n a_o vast_a number_n of_o people_n who_o be_v at_o their_o ease_n and_o who_o do_v honour_n to_o the_o state_n the_o present_a

spread_v they_o over_o all_o those_o that_o former_o put_v themselves_o under_o cover_n by_o their_o own_o credit_n and_o that_o of_o their_o friend_n the_o gentleman_n have_v no_o long_o any_o

of_o character_n have_v now_o no_o long_o any_o credit_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o king_n revenue_n all_o pay_v this_o be_v a_o mighty_a air_n a_o mighty_a show_n of_o justice_n but_o what_o have_v this_o fair_a justice_n produce_v it_o have_v ruin_v all_o people_n the_o wretch_n who_o the_o impost_n have_v ruin_v in_o the_o former_a year_n have_v be_v discharge_v but_o that_o discharge_n

long_o any_o they_o bear_v the_o burden_n in_o their_o turn_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v all_o be_v ruin_v without_o exception_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o what_o that_o great_a shrewdness_n in_o finance_n do_v redound_v that_o be_v so_o much_o boast_v of_o in_o the_o late_a mounseur_fw-fr colbert_n he_o have_v augment_v the_o king_n revenue_n above_o the_o half_a first_o he_o have_v augment_v the_o

of_o the_o financier_n he_o have_v stretch_v the_o king_n farm_n to_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n they_o who_o take_v up_o the_o king_n due_n have_v nothing_o more_o left_a to_o gain_v by_o those_o
