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。
