Also, a Publick Treasurie to be erected, for every one worth above 200 l. de claro, to advance a twen∣tieth part of substance towards the propagation of this great work, to be repay'd immediately after victory, (if our State can bear it) with interest at 8 per cent. with the voluntary contribution of others in that nature, towards support of affairs, and of the Widow, Fatherless, and Orphans that must happen. Also the Soldier and Mariner (when du∣ly paid) will be humbler and bettter servants.
