humble_o propose_v how_o there_o may_v be_v the_o full_a payment_n of_o they_o with_o ease_n before_o lady-day_n without_o borrow_v a_o groat_n that_o be_v by_o the_o issue_v out_o of_o sixteen_o or_o 18_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n of_o chequer-bill_n as_o before_o but_o they_o must_v be_v appropriate_v for_o the_o payment_n of_o the_o fleet_n only_o for_o if_o there_o be_v five_o time_n as_o
