bounty and to cure that wound which others have made almost incureable through their insincerity and preferring of their perillous and desperate counsels before safe and faithfull advise And for the better explanation of the even and just rating of lands If the Parliament shall thinke fit to sesse every 100. l. land a yeare that a man hath to pay 20. s. for a Subsidy Then if Iohn a Nokes hath 100. l. a yeare wherof 50. l. a yeare lies at Lambeth there hee must pay 10. s. hath 25. l. land a yeare at Kensington there he must pay 5. s. and other 25. l. at Islington where he must pay the other 5. s. And this proportion to be sessed ratably for every mans estate in severall parts where it lyes Some considerations which have not as yet beene spoken of in Parliament from whence both the King and the Subject as they may be handled may reape both infinite profit and contentment whereof two principals are here offered to your consideration The first is touching the Court of Wards which concernes none but the rich men of the Kingdome The second is touching such a Manufacture as concernes both all the poore and rich men of the Kingdome which introduced will necessarily set all the idle and poore people of the land to worke and inable them to get an honest living after the patterne of Edward the third who first introduced the woollen Manufacture which to this day imployes a Million of poore People which without it within 3.
