1. BEsides the equality of Taxes, we make this further use of trying it by way of Customs, Poles, Excises, Chim∣ney-money, Land-tax, and Assesments upon the personal Estates, viz.

3. We have hitherto computed the old immutable Revenue at but 130,000 l. per an∣num, nor supposed above 170,000 l. (viz. less than ½ what it is at present) to be raised by Customs (wholly neglecting Wards, Butlerage, Aulnage, and other obsolete Im∣posts.) We have also designed the several Proportions towards the raising of a Million more per Ann. to be raised by the Pole, Ex∣cise, Land-Tax, Assessments and Chimneys.
