Same to Alderman Backwell, "His Majesty hath commanded me to furnish Prince Edward's Dowager with 1,000l. And I desire you to accommodate her agent Mr. Chocki, who hath her letter of attorney, with a bill of exchange for the same.

Same to [the Lord Mayor of London]. The King having assigned out of the four subsidies lately granted him by Parliament, 50,000l. for the pay of the Guards, and it being necessary in order to some services required of Stephen Fox, Paymaster of the said Guards, that this money within some convenient time were advanced to him, therefore desires a Common Council to be called in order to propose to them a loan of said 50,000l. at six per cent. interest secured by the subsidies "which if it be complyed with, certain counties shall be perticularly assigned unto you for your repayment of principal and interest and the high collectors shalbe ordered to pay their money to
Sir Thomas Player, Chamberlain of the city. You know of the former loanes how punctually you have bin complyed with and perchance upon soe good security it may in this time accomodate those that are to accomodate us." |

Treasurer Southampton to Sir Robert Long [Auditor of the Receipt]. "The assignments that have bin made to the Navy upon the chimnes [money] which as I remember are 20,000l. and 30,000l. are funds to the Treasurer of the Navy to pay off those ships that are now come home and which lie at too heavy a charge to His Majesty if delayed. Now, because the Treasurer finds such as he deales with believe there is not a complyance in the order of the payments suitable to the dates of the orders he obtaines the less credit: these are therefore to direct you as the chimney money shalbe paid in, which I hope will erelong be in some considerable summes, that you take all fitting meanes to accomodate the Treasurer of the Navy and soe to direct that business as [that] such as give him credit may value the expectation they have of repayment from that head" [i.e. from the chimney money]. |

Treasurer Southampton to the Lord Mayor of London. "I understand from several sober persons that your commissioners for London in assessing the subsedies are like to proceed in so unconcerned a way as that the rates set on single persons will be very partiall and low ... If they intrust your rates singly to those the Act calls Presenters the subsedies wilbe abated much in their value, the ill consequence whereof the Lords of His Majesty's Counsell have expressed in their letter. I find the subsedies of King James's time for London came to 6,000l. a subsedy, in King Charles's time they fell under. Your neighbour citty Westminster have rated 1,000l. lands at 20l.; in goods 500l. is a 3l. man and not displeasing even to the parties themselves in regard of their reputacon in trade: many under that value of 500l. are made subsedy men. The Commissioners have taken private informacons and found out many the first Presenters omitted and raised others, knowing what states and reputacon the persons were of." Recommends the matter to him. |
