Parly Refm
Towards producing the general outlawry the government
taxes would have given some way, but without the
fee-taxes comparatively but a very small one. When
the amount of each fee, of the fee payable upon each
occasion is fixt, one way and but one way there is of
increasing the sum total total amount of a man's fees, which is the
increasing the number of the occasions on which such
fees shall be payable exigible expected. It is in this way that by
the fees presiders of the law, the Judges of former times
factitious delay vexati expence and vexation have been in causes if
months or years hours of the outlawry have been accumulated heaped on to the people so something
in the article of time months or years substituted to
in the article of money, pounds substituted to pence or
farthings.
It is by contributing to this outlawry – it is by writing
this practical account in Magna Charter that the great
characters in question in conjunction of with other great characters
whom it is scarce safe to think of have
contrived to while we are tormented, to comfort themselves
and one another in their respective "high situations".
