their_o majesty_n do_v make_v the_o most_o modest_a construction_n of_o their_o action_n sacrifice_v the_o public_a interest_n to_o their_o own_o private_a lucre._n this_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o evident_o to_o make_v appear_v and_o i_o be_o no_o way_n unsensible_a of_o the_o danger_n i_o undergo_v by_o this_o my_o undertake_n and_o that_o i_o run_v a_o great_a hazard_n than_o he_o that_o engage_v in_o battle_n but_o i_o know_v not_o why_o i_o shall_v be_v afraid_a have_v truth_n and_o justice_n on_o my_o side_n and_o in_o former_a age_n however_o this_o may_v be_v degenerate_v it_o be_v ever_o account_v a_o honour_n for_o a_o man_n to_o venture_v his_o life_n for_o the_o public_a good_n at_o the_o first_o open_v of_o the_o last_o session_n of_o parliament_n i_o publish_v a_o book_n entitle_v england_n glory_n revive_v which_o i_o dedicate_v to_o their_o majesty_n and_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n but_o it_o be_v never_o present_v to_o the_o parliament_n occasion_v i_o be_v ill_a by_o the_o timorousness_n of_o the_o bookseller_n who_o be_v oblige_v so_o to_o have_v do_v there_o be_v several_a thing_n therein_o propose_v which_o be_v now_o put_v in_o practice_n as_o shall_v be_v make_v appear_v in_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n and_o that_o the_o not_o reward_v person_n that_o do_v thing_n which_o contribute_v to_o the_o public_a service_n be_v a_o real_a injury_n to_o the_o kingdom_n but_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v wave_v that_o and_o fall_v upon_o other_o matter_n i_o have_v observe_v that_o the_o collect_v the_o land_n tax_n be_v a_o great_a charge_n to_o the_o crown_n the_o great_a part_n of_o which_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v save_v and_o the_o receiver-general_n whole_o lay_v aside_o so_o all_o that_o poundage_n they_o be_v allow_v may_v accrue_v to_o the_o government_n upon_o which_o have_v make_v a_o proposal_n present_v it_o to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n of_o the_o treasury_n in_o the_o month_n of_o december_n last_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o deliver_v it_o do_v acquaint_v their_o lordship_n by_o letter_n that_o i_o do_v then_o wait_v their_o command_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v hear_v but_o they_o take_v no_o notice_n thereof_o which_o i_o attribute_v to_o their_o multiplicity_n of_o business_n so_o conceive_v myself_o oblige_v to_o give_v far_a attendance_n which_o i_o do_v and_o humble_o desire_v i_o may_v be_v hear_v upon_o those_o proposal_n this_o i_o do_v for_o many_o day_n and_o press_v as_o much_o as_o in_o modesty_n be_v fit_a to_o do_v that_o i_o may_v be_v hear_v but_o all_o to_o no_o purpose_n for_o i_o find_v it_o be_v not_o grateful_a to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v no_o way_n incline_v to_o hear_v i_o then_o conceive_v i_o have_v no_o other_o way_n but_o to_o petition_v his_o majesty_n in_o council_n which_o i_o according_o do_v and_o deliver_v it_o to_o mr._n bridgman_n in_o secretary_n trenchard_n office_n with_o the_o proposal_n annex_v that_o so_o my_o proposal_n may_v be_v read_v and_o refer_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o treasury_n which_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o my_o petition_n and_o when_o council-day_n come_v i_o be_v with_o he_o again_o and_o he_o tell_v i_o it_o be_v transfer_v to_o the_o council-office_n where_o i_o find_v it_o and_o the_o gentleman_n to_o who_o i_o apply_v myself_o promise_v i_o it_o shall_v be_v carry_v to_o the_o council-chamber_n and_o when_o the_o council_n be_v actual_o sit_v i_o go_v to_o he_o and_o he_o inform_v i_o my_o petition_n and_o proposal_n be_v before_o the_o council_n and_o be_v afterward_o to_o examine_v whether_o i_o have_v a_o reference_n grant_v find_v my_o petition_n have_v not_o be_v read_v upon_o which_o i_o ask_v the_o foresay_a person_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n that_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n to_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v so_o little_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v he_o know_v not_o and_o say_v he_o have_v faithful_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o council_n it_o be_v all_o be_v require_v of_o he_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v the_o same_o next_o council-day_n after_o this_o manner_n be_v i_o serve_v several_a council-day_n and_o never_o can_v obtain_v my_o petition_n to_o be_v read_v and_o find_v all_o i_o do_v be_v but_o labour_n in_o vain_a and_o conceive_v i_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o believe_v that_o some_o person_n endeavour_v to_o stifle_v it_o upon_o which_o i_o address_v myself_o to_o the_o earl_n of_o ah_o privy-counsellor_n to_o who_o i_o present_v a_o copy_n of_o my_o proposal_n and_o sometime_o after_o be_v to_o wait_v on_o he_o and_o his_o lordship_n answer_n be_v the_o thing_n he_o like_v well_o there_o can_v nothing_o be_v object_v against_o it_o but_o say_v he_o dare_v not_o meddle_v in_o it_o it_o will_v create_v he_o so_o many_o enemy_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o i_o be_v resolve_v further_a to_o prosecute_v the_o matter_n and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o duke_n of_o his_o chaplain_n by_o his_o mean_n present_v his_o grace_n with_o a_o copy_n of_o it_o who_o answer_n to_o it_o be_v that_o be_v he_o a_o privy-counsellor_n he_o will_v prosecute_v the_o matter_n but_o as_o he_o be_v not_o he_o dare_v not_o meddle_v with_o it_o it_o will_v create_v he_o so_o many_o enemy_n from_o all_o which_o i_o may_v conclude_v and_o say_v it_o be_v too_o evident_a that_o there_o be_v a_o corrupt_a party_n at_o court_n which_o yet_o shall_v be_v more_o full_o make_v out_o that_o carry_v on_o a_o separate_a interest_n from_o that_o of_o their_o majesty_n and_o the_o public_a and_o be_v grow_v to_o that_o height_n that_o person_n of_o great_a honour_n and_o know_v loyalty_n dare_v not_o encounter_v as_o know_v they_o will_v not_o leave_v they_o till_o they_o have_v throw_v they_o out_o of_o all_o employment_n and_o so_o for_o the_o future_a incapacitate_v they_o to_o serve_v their_o majesty_n and_o however_o i_o may_v be_v censure_v by_o some_o for_o what_o i_o do_v yet_o i_o have_v the_o satisfaction_n in_o my_o own_o breast_n that_o i_o have_v do_v nothing_o but_o what_o my_o duty_n oblige_v i_o to_o and_o doubt_v not_o but_o i_o shall_v have_v the_o concurrence_n of_o all_o true_a englishman_n the_o proposal_n be_v as_o follow_v a_o proposal_n humble_o offer_v for_o lay_v aside_o all_o the_o receiver-general_n it_o be_v undeniable_o their_o majesty_n and_o the_o kingdom_n be_v interest_n which_o be_v inseparable_a that_o what_o money_n be_v give_v for_o public_a uses_n shall_v be_v apply_v to_o that_o end_n and_o to_o have_v all_o unnecessary_a officer_n lay_v aside_o and_o none_o be_v so_o useless_a as_o the_o receiver-general_n there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o occasion_n for_o they_o for_o the_o collector_n of_o the_o excise_n in_o each_o county_n be_v every_o way_n capable_a of_o act_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o with_o great_a ease_n to_o the_o county_n and_o more_o satisfaction_n it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o subject_a to_o see_v the_o money_n employ_v to_o public_a uses_n to_o which_o it_o be_v primary_o intend_v and_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o brief_a in_o the_o matter_n as_o possible_o i_o can_v and_o so_o shall_v bring_v but_o one_o instance_n which_o i_o humble_o conceive_v will_n full_o demonstrate_v what_o i_o assert_v viz._n the_o receiver-general_n for_o the_o county_n of_o hertford_n go_v to_o four_o place_n as_o hertford_n etc._n etc._n and_o no_o more_o and_o by_o his_o circular-letter_n to_o the_o high-constable_n of_o the_o several_a hundred_o the_o collector_n of_o the_o tax_n meet_v he_o at_o the_o day_n prefix_v and_o pay_v in_o the_o money_n which_o create_v much_o trouble_n to_o some_o of_o they_o who_o bring_v it_o a_o great_a way_n although_o it_o be_v a_o small_a county_n which_o they_o need_v not_o undergo_v which_o i_o shall_v evident_o make_v appear_v for_o the_o collector_n of_o the_o excise_n for_o the_o say_a county_n be_v oblige_v to_o go_v to_o all_o market-town_n through_o the_o whole_a shire_n and_o there_o be_v eighteen_o in_o the_o county_n and_o it_o may_v with_o much_o facility_n and_o ease_n be_v so_o order_v that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o may_v receive_v the_o quarterly-payment_n for_o the_o land-tax_a according_a to_o the_o district_v of_o the_o say_a town_n as_o they_o be_v now_o settle_v in_o the_o excise_n but_o if_o it_o be_v find_v that_o method_n will_v not_o do_v they_o can_v then_o but_o take_v the_o same_o measure_v the_o receiver-general_n now_o do_v which_o they_o will_v be_v both_o willing_a and_o able_a to_o perform_v there_o can_v no_o objection_n be_v make_v against_o this_o be_v put_v into_o practice_n other_o than_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a trust_n and_o the_o
