A94704	Hayes, John.	To the supreme authority the Parliament of the Common-wealth of England some considerations about the excise of 4s. 8d. per barrell upon sope, humbly offered by the sope-makers of London, who lately presented their petition to your Honors.	1650.0		.xml	application/xml	1326	53	68	I. THat the laying Excise upon Sope , is a requiring Excise for the labor of their hands , they having paid Excise before for their Potashes , Oyl and Tallow , being the materials whereof they make their Soap , and it hath been always reputed of ill consequence to discourage Labour and industry by taking away the profit that the Labourer expects . II. Sope is most necessary for all sorts of people next to Victuals , and must be used by the poorest people ; and it hath been thought Justice and Policy to lay the burden of Excise upon such Commodities as the poor are least necessitated to use , and not a double burthen upon the most necessary Commodities .	cache/A94704.xml	txt/A94704.txt
