Now that an exact Computation may be made of the Charges that are to be
reimburs'd within the space of three Years after the Conclusion of the

Money, which possibly the Party attack'd may chuse, either for the whole
or a part of the said Ships, Horse and Foot; 'tis thought expedient,
that the fourteen Ships carrying from sixty to eighty Pieces of Cannon,
should be valued at the Sum of eighteen thousand six hundred and sixty
six Pounds Sterling, or of _English_ Money; the other fourteen which
carry from forty to sixty Guns, at fourteen thousand Pounds Sterling;
and the remaining twelve, at six thousand Pounds of the same Money: Six
thousand Foot, at seven thousand five hundred Pounds Sterling; and four
hundred Horse, at one thousand and forty Pounds, for one Month: The
Money to be paid by the said King of _Great Britain_ at _London_, and by
the _States General_ at _Amsterdam_, according as the Course of the
Exchange shall be at the time when Payment is to be made. But in
Consideration of the six thousand Foot Soldiers, the Sum of six thousand
Pounds Sterling shall be paid within the first Month, to defray the
Expence of listing and providing the Men.

of the Church have been sufficiently manifested to the world by the

erring or dissenting persons, and for composing the unhappy differences
in matters of religion which we found among our subjects upon our return.
