leave_v of_o our_o ancient_a right_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o do_v not_o delight_v to_o think_v of_o these_o thing_n but_o hearty_o wish_v all_o be_v bury_v in_o oblivion_n can_v it_o be_v and_o we_o not_o forget_v who_o be_v our_o restorer_n it_o be_v therefore_o my_o duty_n to_o do_v their_o majesty_n that_o right_o as_o to_o let_v the_o subject_n know_v where_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o money_n go_v which_o they_o pay_v for_o the_o use_v of_o their_o majesty_n and_o that_o their_o majesty_n have_v the_o least_o part_n of_o it_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n and_o therefore_o if_o

from_o other_o cause_n which_o if_o not_o remove_v will_v in_o a_o few_o year_n ruin_v the_o kingdom_n i_o have_v it_o be_v true_a declare_v my_o opinion_n against_o the_o manner_n of_o raise_v money_n upon_o the_o late_a fund_n i_o mean_v of_o the_o million-act_n lottery-act_n and_o bank_n of_o england_n and_o i_o believe_v when_o my_o argument_n be_v well_o weigh_v it_o will_v appear_v not_o to_o be_v without_o reason_n i_o doubt_v few_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o account_n of_o it_o but_o whoever_o live_v but_o a_o few_o year_n will_v find_v they_o if_o some_o other_o method_n be_v not_o take_v to_o prevent_v it_o like_o a_o canker_n which_o will_v eat_v up_o the_o gentleman_n estate_n in_o land_n and_o beggar_n the_o trade_n part_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o bring_v all_o the_o subject_n in_o england_n to_o be_v the_o money_a man_n vassal_n some_o probable_o may_v think_v i_o be_o for_o destroy_v the_o settlement_n make_v on_o those_o fund_n wherein_o the_o parliament_n have_v be_v please_v to_o invest_v the_o several_a contributor_n with_o a_o property_n whereas_o i_o be_o not_o for_o destroy_v they_o but_o for_o prevent_v their_o destroy_v other_o and_o be_o content_a that_o they_o continue_v till_o time_n wear_v they_o out_o so_o that_o a_o stop_v be_v put_v to_o the_o raise_v more_o money_n after_o the_o like_a manner_n so_o pernicious_a to_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v none_o need_v to_o be_v offend_v if_o i_o lay_v before_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o many_o evil_n that_o of_o necessity_n do_v and_o will_v attend_v the_o great_a encouragement_n give_v those_o who_o advance_v money_n on_o the_o say_a fund_n which_o be_v already_o too_o visible_a nor_o that_o it_o will_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o presumption_n in_o i_o if_o i_o humble_o propose_v to_o their_o great_a judgement_n other_o method_n of_o raise_v money_n for_o the_o future_a so_o far_o from_o be_v grievous_a that_o they_o will_v be_v for_o the_o ease_n satisfaction_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o subject_a it_o be_v likely_a that_o some_o may_v wonder_v that_o the_o parliament_n shall_v pass_v the_o say_a act_n see_v they_o ever_o have_v a_o very_a great_a regard_n to_o keep_v up_o the_o value_n of_o their_o land_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o they_o be_v please_v to_o prohibit_v the_o import_v of_o

the_o encouragement_n give_v to_o person_n to_o advance_v money_n on_o the_o say_a fund_n will_v be_v more_o ruinous_a to_o gentleman_n estate_n than_o will_v have_v be_v the_o bring_n in_o irish_a
