be without it for two。     11。 Here is to be noted; that a Harth…money must be but small; or else 'twill be intollerable; it being more easie for a Gentleman of a thousand pound per annum to pay for an hundred Chimneys (few of their Mansion…Houses having more) then for Labourers to pay for two。 Moreover; if the Land…Lord onely pay this Tax; then is it not an Accumulative Excize for all; but a particular Excize upon but one onely Commodity; namely Housing。     12。 Now the Reasons for Excize are these; viz。     First; The Natural Justice that every man should pay according to what he actually enjoyeth; upon which account this Tax is scarce forced upon any; and is very light to those; who please to be content with natural Necesaries。     Secondly; This Tax if it be not farmed; but regularly collected; engages to thrift; the onely way to enrich a Nation; as by the Dutch and Jews; and by all other men; who have come to vaste Estates by Trade; doth appear。     Thirdly; No man payes double or twice for the same thing; forasmuch as nothing can be spent but once; whereas it is frequently seen; that otherwise men pay both by the Rent of their Lands; by their Smoaks; by their Titles; and by Customs; (which all men do; though Merchants chiefly talk of it) they also pay by Benevolence and by Tythes; whereas in this way of Excize no man need pay but one way; nor but once; properly speaking。     Fifthly; By this way an excellent account may be taken of the Wealth; Growth; Trade; and strength of the Nation at all times。 All which Reasons do make not for particular compoundings with Faculities; nor for letting the whole to farm; but for collecting it by special Officers; who having a full employment; will not be a fourth of the charge of our present many multiform Levies; for to put extraordinary trouble and hazzard upon the Countrey Officers; is a sorer Taxing of them; then to make them pay a small Reward unto practised Persons to be their Substitutes。 All which are the common Objectives against Excize。     13。 I should here adde the manner of Collecting it; but I refer this tothe practice of Holland; and I might also offer how men may be framed to be fit for this and other Publick Trusts; as to be Cashiers; Storekeepers; Collectors; etc。 but I refer this Enquiry unto a more ample and fit occasion。
