In
the
Fourteenth
Year
of
the
King
,
the
Additional

of
Hearth
Money
was
setled
upon
his
Majesty
,
his
Heirs
and
Successors
.
In
the
Fifteenth
Year
of
the
King
,
were
Granted
Four
Entire
Subsidies
from
the
Temporalty
,
and
Four
from
the
Clergy

In

of
the

Four

which

in
his
Seventeenth

Hundred
and
50
Thousand
Pounds
were
Granted
for
his

the
Law

After
this
,
at
the
Adjournment
of
the
Parliament
upon
the
16th
of
April
1677.
being
the
20th
of
the
King
,
past
an
Act
,
For
Raising
the
Sum
of
Five
Hundred
Eighty
Four
Thousand
Nine
Hundred
Seventy
Eight
Pounds
Two
Shillings
and
Two
Pence
Halfpenny
,
For

speedy

Thirty

of
War
.
Together
with
an
Additional
Excise
upon
Beer
,
Ale
,
and
other
Liquors
,
for
three
Years
.
Upon
the
15th
of
July
1678
,
being
the
30th
of
the
King
,
past
an
Act
,
For
granting
a
Supply
to
his
Majesty
of
Six
Hundred
and
Nineteen
Thousand
Three
Hundred
Eighty
Eight
Pounds
Eleven
Shillings
and
Nine

,
for

and
other
Uses
therein
mentioned
.
With
another
Act
,
For
granting
an
Additional
Duty
upon
Wines
for
three
Years
.
To
all
which
may
be
added
(
for
it
cannot
be
forgotten
in
haste
)
the
shutting
up
of
the
Exchequer
.
This
,
if
it
be
not
a
perfect
Arithmetical
Accompt
to
some
Thousands
of
Pounds
perhaps
,
yet
it
comes
pretty
near
the
matter
,
to
shew
,
as
in
a
Mirror
,
the
prodigious
Sums
it
cost
the
Kingdom
,
in
a
few
Years
,
to
maintain
the
Vanity
and
Profuseness
of
the
Court
at
that
time
,
and
to
support
a
Design
carry'd
on
all
along
to
subvert
the
Religion
,
Laws
,
Liberties
and
Properties
of
the
whole
Nation
.
It
is
generally
Imprinted
in
the
minds
of
Men
,
that
there
is
nothing
so
dear
to
them
,
as
the
preservation
of
their
Religion
,
their
Laws
,
their
Liberties
and
Properties
.
Life
is
contemn'd
,
to
preserve
these
four
inestimable
Comforts
of
human
Being
;
which
makes
it
a
strange
thing
,
to
consider
,
that
People
who
were
so
lavish
to
undo
themselves
,
should
so
stingily
grudge
a
necessary
,
tho'
more
than
ordinary
Expence
,
to
be
for
ever
quit
of
Future
Danger
.
They
do
not
find
their
Money
now
profusely
wasted
upon
the
Excesses
of
prodigal
Luxury
,
nor
upon
Wars
,
to
extirpate
the
Protestant
Religion
;
Nor
upon
Designs
,
to
enslave
both
their
Souls
and
Bodies
;
but
thriftily
expended
by
a
frugal
and
saving
Prince
,
once
their
Generous
and
Fortunate
Preserver
,
upon
Men
,
Arms
,
and
all
manner
of
warlike
Ammunition
both
by
Sea
and
Land
.
They
find
not
now
pretences
of
Wars
to
juggle
them
out
of
their
Wealth
,
to
be
as
deceitfully
expended
either
upon
Pleasure
,
or
to
support
the
Interest
of
the
Common
Foe
:
But
a
real
War
at
the
door
,
maintained
by
the
Capital
Enemies
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
the
General
Peace
of
Europe
:
And
withstood
with
as
much
Vigor
,
as
prudent
Council
,
and
wary
Conduct
will
permit
,
by
a
Prince

Couragious
