The Proposal is:
That 100000 Tickets, Numbred from 1 to 100000, be given out at 10 l. per Ticket, to such as shall Voluntarily bring in their Money before the 24th of Iune, 1697. to make up the Million aforesaid.
That New Mill'd Money, or Hammered Silver Money, and Plate with the Hall Mark upon't, or otherwise Sterling, shall be taken in, and Received at 6 s. an Ounce for such Tickets.
That a Rebate (as was in the Million Lottery) after the Rate of 14 per Cent. be allowed for so many Days as the Money shall be paid in before the 24th of Iune, 1697.
That the Benefits, as well as the Blanks (which, considering the Advantages given to every Adventurer, may well be called Prizes) shall all be paid off in one Year, and in Course, which may thus be ascertain'd, viz. Before the Draw∣ing begins 100 Tickets, Numbred from 1 to 100. signifying the first, second and third (and so to 100) thousand, shall be put and well mixt in a Glass, and thence Drawn, and such Number as comes first (and so successively) out, shall entitle the Owner of the Benefits and Blanks Comprised in such 1000, to be first paid off and cleared.
And that the not yet paying the Tickets last Michaelmas due in the late Milli∣on Adventure.
Nor the fear of its not being Full, and that thereby the Benefits might come to be any way lessened, may in no sort Discourage the bringing in the Money, and that very quickly into't:
Note, The not paying those Tickets, was not only occasioned by an Under∣taking that failed, but by a real Deficience in the Fund that was given, for the first Three Years paying thereof, and the like cannot be supposed can any way happen at all in the Fund herein after proposed for this; and every Adventu∣rer for His or Her Satisfaction, may be pleased to take Notice, that a Duty is Voted already on Leather, to pay off the Tickets in the Million Adventure, and Annuities due, and by which they'll be certainly paid.
And to the other Objection, Answ. What Number of Tickets of the said 100000 shall not be took out, and paid for by particular Persons, before the 24th of Iune, 1697. may either be paid out as Money, or without any Loss to the Publick (and therefore will) be taken and paid for out of the Money that shall be first Raised from the Duty, to be given for the thus supplying this Million.
