A43774	Aphorisms upon the new way of improving cyder, or making cyder-royal lately discovered for the good of those kingdoms and nations that are beholden to others, and pay dear for wine ... : to which are added, certain expedients concerning raising and planting of apple-trees, gooseberry-trees, &c. with respect to cheapness, expedition, certain growing, and fruitfulness, beyond what hath hitherto been yet made known / by Richard Haines.

part of his Majesties Subjects Therefore to the intent They may not be with-holden from the same Notwitstanding it might be abundantly most for our particular advantage to keep it in our Hands and Reserve it wholly to our selves since it is That we might gain Five or Six Pound by every Hogshead when no such is made in our Nation but by our selves Yet nevertheless to demonstrate the Greatness of our Zeal to the Publick and how ready we are to postpone our private Interests thereunto That no reasonable person may have any Colour to Complain And that all that are willing may have the opportunity to make sufficient Benefit of this our Invention We do by these Presents declare That we are willing and content That this our said Invention shall be free to all His Majesties Subjects in England and Wales Upon the Terms Limitations and Conditions following viz. 1. That every Person that shall or will sell the said Cyder-Royal or other Liquors herein after mentioned either by Wholesale or Retail shall yearly have a Deputation or Allowance from us so to do paying us One and Twenty Shillings and Six-pence per Annum 2. That any of His Majesties Subjects in England or Wales paying the like Sum of Twenty One Shilling Six-pence shall for the whole Term of Fourteen Years have the like Deputation or Allowance to practice or use the same for his particular use viz. so far as to make Cyder-Royal and all or any the aforesaid Liquors to be spent by themselves and their Respective Private Families And to entertain their Friends therewith in their own Houses provided they do not fell or otherwise dispose thereof This is the method we propose The Termes whereof are so easy and profitable to those to whom they are offered That we hope no Loyal Subject may have the least Cause to dislike Nor any be found so unreasonably perverse as to oppose or contemn the Authority of His Majesties Gracious Letters Patent or to envy the Patentees so small a Consideration and Acknowledgment who out of Love and Good-will to the Publick are contented with that which will not amount to one tenth part of the benefit vve might make thereof if we kept the thing wholly in our own particular Hands and Management And supposing these our reasonable Terms may be readily Embrac'd we shall be Content to abide by and continue the same But however forasmuch as we know That there are a discontented troublesome and envious sort of people in the VVorld who are naturally apt not only to envy and abuse them whom they are beholding to for their own VVelfare but also delight to affront and contemn the Authority of His Majesties Laws and Royal Prerogative therefore as to Venders viz. All such as sell either by VVholesale or Retale vve intend their Deputations or Licences shall be but from one year to another To the intent that in case the method we have proposed be thwarted and endeavoured to be obstructed we may the next year take to our selves the sole benefit of our Invention granted And those only to have the selling and uttering thereof as shall give security to take it of our selves and no others But for those that sell it not they upon sending in their money as aforesaid shall freely enjoy the same for our whole Term upon the condition before offered If it be objected That this way of improving Cyder c. by me discovered is so obvious and easy that it deserves not the Honour of being called a Project or Invention To this I crave leave to answer 1. That every thing seems easy when 't is known and yet if it be a useful thing those that knew it not before will be ungrateful not to Acknowledge an obligation to him that first taught them 2. If it seem now so plain when you find it here discovered it vvas lately not so for else how came it not to be practiced before Nay though 't is not difficult to add to things once found out yet the ordinary Objector even after I have given the hint and in general disclosed the thing would perhaps find it not very easy to advance his Liquors to the proposed perfection without consulting those Rules and Instructions which I have here laid down having by frequent Trials and Experiments found them most effectual The Old Fable is significative of the Mag-Pye reaching the Wood Pigeon to build a Nest to every Direction the other contemptuously Cry'd This I can do and This I can do which at last so incensed the Pye that she left her in the midst of her work with this Reprimand Then do 't then do 't and ever since the simple Pigeon for want of a little patience and gratitude is forc'd to be content with a sorry imperfect Lodging for her young ones So in the present Case suppose any shall say this is easy I doubt not but to do it and mend it too my self Be it so yet still I know not that you have more reason to Boast than the Cobler who says he mends what the Shomaker makes whereas had not the latter first made the Shoe the former would have had no occasion for such a Vapour 3dly Inventions are to be honour'd and esteem'd for that Usefulness and Benefit they afford rather than for their uneasiness to be found out at first or their difficulty to be practiced afterwards Whether a man by sagaciousness of Judgment or a long Industry and frequent Essays find out a thing Or whether it occur to him suddenly by the friendly suggestion of his good Genius 't is all one to the rest of the world Nay whenever the thing is really useful the more easie 't is in practice the more ought it to be valulued because thereby 't is likely to be more publickly beneficial and consequently the people are the more beholding to the Inventer Especially he if be such an one as this Discoverer who hath at his own cost and charge besides this thing found out and contrived certain Expedients by which not only the Wealth of the Kingdom of England might encrease at least Twenty if not Thirty Hundred Thousand Pounds and His Majesties Revenue at least Five Hundred Thousand Pounds Per Annum for ever But also all poor People not having any Habitations of their own or wherewith to Live of themselves may be so provided for That there shall not be one Beggar in the Nation nor any have reason to Complain for want of a comfortable Imployment Food Rayment or Habitation As my several Printed Proposals presented to his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament do most plainly demonstrate Insomuch that I having presented my Petition to the Honourable House of Commons the thing was so readily approved of That an Order was made for bringing in a Bill Pursuant to the effect of my Proposals Nemine Contra-Dicente Which Bill I at my further Charge procured to be drawn and prepared And had not the Person whom I first intrusted and who
