How without any Charge to the Publick , to Raise Four hundred thousand Pounds certain , from what is supposed to afford Two hundred and fifty thousand Pounds only .

't is generally thought there are Eight Millions of People in England ; if one fourth part of these pay four Shillings per Head , 't will amount to full Four hundred thousand Pounds , as abovesaid .

Although it be very difficult to manage things so , as that in this Case , all People in the Kingdom pay just their respective shares ; yet things may be so Ordered , that without doing much Injury to any , each County may pay very near in proportion , one to the other , if of every Shire be raised according to the number of it 's Inhabitants .

The Inhabitants of each County may be guessed at by the Poll taken some few Years ago , when the Act , or Acts had passed concerning Births and Burials , Batchelors and Widdowers ; for it may be supposed , each County affords Inhabitants proportionally as then , and so to each County may be allotted to raise it 's proportionate share of the said Four hundred thousand Pounds .

't is supposed the Commissioners who shall be appointed for the Land-Tax , having also the ordering of this , will perform it without putting the Publick to any other charge than the Land-Tax requires .

If the Commissioners have power to make all Inhabitants pay every one alike , except such Poor as receive Alms , and their Children under 16 years ; And except poor House-keepers , who do not pay to Church and Poor , and their Children under 16 years , and also the Children of Day Labourers , and of all such as have Four or more , and are not worth Fifty pounds . They may do it at two Essays , by first Summoning each Parish to give in a List of all its Inhabitants ; then by appointing to each Parish its respective Sum , in such proportion , that the whole County yield just what is required of it . In likelihood all this may be done , without making any one pay more than Four shillings ; but if it require more , or if it require less , the said Commissioners may order the Assesment accordingly , and then there can be no Deficiency .

The greatest inconveniency they will meet with in this matter , is , that some Parishes have more Paupers , and such as are unquallified to pay then others in proportion to their respective Numbers . This may in some measure be remedied , by empowering the Commissioners of the County at large at a General Meeting , to relieve such Parishes according to the best of their discretion , by allotting somewhat less then full proportion to them , and some what more to others , who have not their proportion of Paupers .
