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.
