The Upper House. 3

Apprised of the Value of them, or of their Yearly Encrease, else I
am persuaded they would not have called their present Offer an
Equivalent, & tho it affects me, that even the Collecting of my Just
dues should any ways prove inconvenient to my Tenants, yet, you
will agree with me that there is some Justice and Equity Due to a
Landlord, as well as Indulgence to a Tenant, and I should hope,
though the present Method of Collecting the Quit Rents may not
be altogether so Agreeable, yet that Time may Reconcile it; I do not
mention this as Declaring I will not Agree to Oblige my Tenants in
Equivalent, but then let it be such a one as you may [with] Justice
Offer, I with reason receive, and upon the whole, if any thing makes
me prefer any other to the present Method of Collecting my Quit
Rents, it will be Solely to make it easier to my Tenants, for to me the
present Seems the Natural one
