In Case any Proviso should be offer'd to the Bill of Naturalization , to oblige the Persons mentioned in the Bill constantly to reside in England , it is hoped the same will be rejected for the Reasons following .

I. NEVER any such Clause was in any Bill of Naturalization before ; and new unusual Clauses , in Acts of Parliament , are dangerous .

II . There is no occasion for any such Clause ; no Instance can be given of any Naturaliz'd Person of any Estate considerable that liv'd abroad , and spent his Rents there ; or if there should be an Instance or two , that 's not enough for this general Restraint .

III . Such a Clause will hinder Strangers from being Naturaliz'd , which would be a Mischief to the Nation ; for these being Men of Fortunes , 't is good for the Publick to have them come among us .

IV . The Farmer of the Scavidge of the City in the Custom-House of London , hath , on other Occasions of Naturalization , done his Endeavour to have a Clause to save the said Scavidge to him ; but has always been discountenanc'd in Parliament .

V. That this Clause incapacitates them to do his Majesty Service abroad , which they are capable to do .

VI . That 't is said , If they shall live abroad with their Family , they shall forfeit their Priviledges : Now what shall be counted their Families is not explained , and they left in the dark as to these Forfeitures .

VII . When they are Naturaliz'd , they are English Subjects to all Intents and Purposes ; and this Clause takes away Liberty and Property from them , which is an ill President as to the rest .

VIII . If this Proviso be inserted in the said Act , those named in it would be troubled every Day abroad by Governors of the Plantations , and Collectors of the Custom-House there , as likewise by the Consuls in Foreign Places , on pretence , That those named in the said Act are absent from England , and therefore these Ships or Effects are Forfeited by the said Clause as absent from England , which may be restored on Proof to the contrary : But this would be the utter Ruin of the Ships and Effects seized on , and no Satisfaction for them .

Maesacker , and Others , in the Bill of Naturalization .
