Kings raise Money, &c.* 1.1

1. By Liberties.* 1.2

And this was one of the usuallest and easiest means to raise Money from the People, because it lighteth only upon the best Abilities. And if there were now but 20 l. taken of every Cor∣poration; of every Person that hold by Charter his Liberties, 5 l. for renewing them; and of every one, that claimeth by Prescription, 10 l. for Purchase of a Charter: All which would be easie, and acceptable; it would amount to above 100000 l.
