<P>It is humbly propo&s;ed, That the Purcha&s;ers of the &s;aid Lands re&s;pectively, may hold the &s;ame for 99 years, paying one fourth part of the fir&s;t Purcha&s;e-money; or to be confirmed to them in Fee, paying one third part of the &s;aid purcha&s;e-money; one Moiety thereof within two moneths after an Act of Parliament &s;hall be pa&s;s'd for that purpo&s;e; and the other Moiety within &s;ix moneths then next following: which is conceived will amount to about &s;ix hundred thou&s;and pounds, for that the &s;aid Lands were &s;old for about three and twenty hundred thou&s;and pounds; and paying a twentieth part of the pre&s;ent improved Rent to his MAJESTY, or &s;uch other u&s;e as by Act of Parliament &s;hall be appointed; which, with the Remainder of the Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions un|&s;old, will rai&s;e a greater yearly Rent then formerly.</P>
<P>Hereby, a con&s;iderable &s;um of money for his MAJESTIES &s;ervice, will be &s;peedily rai&s;ed; the Kingdom &s;o much ea&s;ed, and di&s;charged of &s;o great a debt as three and twenty hundred thou|&s;and pounds, for which the &s;aid Lands were &s;old; the Honour of Parliaments, and the Publick Faith given for the &s;ame, repair|ed; as great a Revenue as formerly to his MAJESTY, or the Church, continued; the Purcha&s;ers &s;atisfied, their Po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ions quieted; Indu&s;try and Improvements encouraged; no Sales, Settlements or Securities di&s;turbed, and infinite Suits pre|vented.</P>
