and all other charges. So then^your Cargo of 5 lool. being but dou- 

 bled, will amount unto 10200 1. But this Cargo being large 5 will-re- 

 quire three years time to iell, fo that if you make your bargain for 

 14000 1. to be paid for this Plantation , you will be allowed three 

 dayes of payment^ the firft fhall be of 4000 1. to be paid in a year af- 

 ter you are fetled in your Plantation ^ 5000 1. more at the end of the 

 y ear following,and 5000 1. at the end of the year then next following. 

 And no man will doubt fuch payment^ that fees a vifible Cargo upon 

 thelflandof 10200 Land the produce of the Plantation to boot. Now 

 you fee which way this purchale is made up, viz,. 4000 1. the firft 

 payment, 5000I. the (econd, and fb there remains upon your Cargo 

 1200I. towards payment of the laft 5000 1. and by that time, the pro- 

 fit of your Plantation will raife that with advantage , and then you 

 have your Plantation clear, and freed of all debts. And we will ac- 

 count attheloweft rate, that if two hundred acres of your five hun- 

 dred , be planted with Canes, and every Acre bear but three thou- 

 (and weight ofSugar,valuing the Sugar but at three pence per pound, 

 which is thirty (even pound ten (hillings every acre , then two hun- 

 dred acres will produce 7500 1. in fixteen months^ that is,fifteen months 

 for the Canes to grow and be ripe , and a month to Cure the Sugar 

 that is made. 



But if you ftay four months longer, your Mufcavado Sugar, which 

 I valued at three pence per pound, will be Whites, and then the price 

 will be doubled , and that you fee is 1 5000I. Out of which we will 

 abate i part for wafte, and for the tops and boyomes of the Pots 5

which may be rank'd with the Mufcavadoes, and that is 57 50 1, and 

 then there remains 11250I. to which we willadde the value of the 

 Drink that is made of the skimmings, at 120 1. per month, which in 

 twenty months comes to 2400 1. and then the whole revenue will 

 amount unto 15650 1. in twenty months. But this profit muft come 

 (iicceffively in, as the Sugars are made, and they work all the year, 

 except in November and December:, when the great downfells of rain 

 come: and if they pave the wayes between the Canes, for the Slids 

 and Affinigoes to pafle, they may work then too 5 for, little ellc hin- 

 ders them, but the unpaflableneft of the wayes. 



So then you (ee, that upon the venturing, and well husbanding of 

 3000 1. ftock,you are fetled in a revenue of 682 I. a month, of which 

 months we will account 13 in a year, fothat after your work is fet in 

 order, and that you will account the yearly revenue, you will find it 

 8866 I. per annum. 



Now let us confider what the certain charge will be yearly, to
