<DIV2 TYPE="reasons">
<HEAD>Rea&s;ons enforcing and per&s;wading to this Propo&s;ition.</HEAD>
<P N="1">1. BY admitting Delinquents to Com|po&s;ition we receive Vipers into our bo&s;omes to make a partie among&s;t us, and al&s;o hinder them from connection, as putting them into a &s;ecurer and better
<PB N="3" REF="3">e&s;tate then the be&s;t friends of the Parlia|ment.</P>
<P N="2">2. Iu&s;tice and Religion before God and man, declared both by Scripture and Ordi|nances of Parliament Requires, that their e|&s;tates which have occa&s;ioned, and doe now pro&s;ecute a warre again&s;t us &s;hould bee ex|pended to maintaine it, which appeares <HI>de facto,</HI> in the Order pa&s;t for their &s;ale in the De&s;igne for <HI>Oxford,</HI> and in the fea&s;ance and forfeiture of all their per&s;onall e&s;tates. If their goods and moneys in our po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion, why not their Lands which are moneys worth, and as &s;erviceable to the State.</P>
<P N="3">3. The Honour and Iu&s;tice of the Parlia|ment in paying the Kingdomes Ingagements many creditours then able, being now ready to fami&s;h, when as there is &s;ufficient in our power to repay, and make reparation, The Money thus repaid being but laid up in faith|full trea&s;uries, untill the nece&s;&s;ities of the State &s;hall againe require it; Be&s;ides, the City of <HI>London</HI> thus faithfull dealt with, will bee
<PB N="4" REF="4">ready upon all occa&s;ions to advance great and &s;ufficient &s;ummes.</P>
<P N="4">4. Policiy of State to ingage and confirme the &s;ouldery, as al&s;o the great Rich men both of the City and Counties, who though Malignant, yet out of one Re&s;pect or other will bee ready to purcha&s;e, The Comman|ders as low as Captaines will be I am per&s;wa|ded, content to accept of their quarter pay, if not all upon the&s;e Conditions, Hence al&s;o wil follow a pre&s;ervation of the Kingdome, and a ha&s;tning the conclu&s;ion of the Warre, &s;ince this of any way will &s;oone&s;t le&s;&s;en and bring to Submi&s;&s;ion the contrary party e&s;pecially &s;ince the goodne&s;&s;e of the State hath re&s;erved a third part un&s;old, if they come in within the yeeres prefixt, &s;uch that &s;hall Stand out in Rebellion five yeares longer de&s;erving not onely to loo&s;e two thirds with the Papi&s;ts, but all.</P>
<P N="5">5. Wi&s;dome and good Husbandry to take time whil&s;t time &s;erves, The&s;e Lands being now in our power to bee di&s;po&s;ed of, which
<PB N="5" REF="4">the enemey in one Moneth may repo&s;&s;e&s;&s;e, By &s;elling wee &s;ecure them, and make them u&s;efull to the State, as being &s;tocked by the Purcha&s;ers, and yeelding both contribution and Provi&s;ions whereas now they are in a manner fruitle&s;&s;e and unprofitable.</P>
<P N="6">6. Policie of State to have this foure hun|dred thou&s;and pounds in Banke, which will bee above a quarters pay for our Army and Navy, and ea&s;e and &s;pare the well affected partie, Al&s;o hereby the incredible expence for the recruite of Hor&s;e and Armes, be&s;ides the infinite pre&s;&s;ure of free quarter, want of Di&s;cipline, lo&s;&s;e of Oppertunityes and &s;ud|den Mouldring away of our Armyes will be remedied and prevented. La&s;tly by a generall proceeding in the&s;e &s;ales and the helpe of the Exci&s;e (regulated that a third may not i&s;&s;ue out to Officers) this Banke may be pre&s;erved even during the Warres.</P>
