WHereas his late MAJESTY of blessed memory, in his Concessions upon the Treaty at the Isle of Wight, did grant, That the Purchasers of Bi­shops Lands should hold the same for 99 years; and did also declare his Judgement and Condescention for the alienating Deans and Chapters Lands in Fee, for such uses as should be afterwards resolved on:

It is humbly proposed, That the Purchasers of the said Lands respectively, may hold the same for 99 years, paying one fourth part of the first Purchase-money; or to be confirmed to them in Fee, paying one third part of the said purchase-money; one Moiety thereof within two moneths after an Act of Parliament shall be pass'd for that purpose; and the other Moiety within six moneths then next following: which is conceived will amount to about six hundred thousand pounds, for that the said Lands were sold for about three and twenty hundred thousand pounds; and paying a twentieth part of the present improved Rent to his MAJESTY, or such other use as by Act of Parliament shall be appointed; which, with the Remainder of the Possessions un­sold, will raise a greater yearly Rent then formerly.

Hereby, a considerable sum of money for his MAJESTIES service, will be speedily raised; the Kingdom so much eased, and discharged of so great a debt as three and twenty hundred thou­sand pounds, for which the said Lands were sold; the Honour of Parliaments, and the Publick Faith given for the same, repair­ed; as great a Revenue as formerly to his MAJESTY, or the Church, continued; the Purchasers satisfied, their Possessions quieted; Industry and Improvements encouraged; no Sales, Settlements or Securities disturbed, and infinite Suits pre­vented.
