THE Profitable Adventure To the Fortunate: lately Begun by Thomas neal, Esq; Their Majesties Groom-Porter. Having been Reported in Town, and Mentioned in several News Letters, to be stopped, and not Allowed to go On; For Undeceiving all Persons that are or may be therein Concerned, the Contrary is Published in several Gazettes. And because many that see this, may not( it may be) the Printed Paper at large, the Contents of it is in short thus, ( VIZ.)  
THomas neal, Esq Groom Porter to Their Majesties: As he last year gave out 50000 Tickets at Ten Shillings a piece, he now gives out such 50000 Tickets at Twenty Shillings, with these Advantages more than was then: ( viz.) Whereas those benefited Tickets drew in Money 10 per Cent. less than the 50000 Number Tickets were given out for, these will draw the whole Money, to make more benefited Tickets; the Fortunate being now to abate 10 per Cent. on Receipt of their Benefits, for Care, Hazard, Trouble, Charge, and Rebate for One Hundred days Interest, which was allowed by each Goldsmith to such as paid down their Money before the 10th of August, 1694. And each Ticket is a Goldsmiths Note for Repaying of 20 s. to the Bearer, if any thing hinders the Drawing. And whereas among the last 50000 Numbers, there were only 250 Benefits, among this 50000 there will( besides first and last) be 1250: thus, One of 4000 l. Two of 1000 l. Six of 500 l. Six of 300 l. Ten of 200 l. One Hundred of 100 l. One Hundred of 50 l. One Hundred of 40 l. Two Hundred of 30 l. Four Hundred Seventy and five of 20 l. Two Hundred and Fifty of 10 l. In all, 1250, besides first and last, 100 l. each. Total 50000 l.  
The time allowed for paying in of the Money, is only till the 20th. of September, 1694. The time designed for Drawing, to be the week after Michaelmas, or within Ten days after tis full, which shall first happen: The precise Time and Place will be Published in Print. Mr. Richard Lascels, Mr. Joseph Fells, Mr. John Lund, Mr. Robert Fowle, Mr. James Hallett, Mr. Thomas Williams, Mr. Richard Smith, Mr. John Sweetaple, Mr. Peter Lupart, Mr. William shepherd, Mr. William Atwill, Mr. Edward Mompesson, Mr. Nathaniel Green, near Leicester-fields, Mr. Charles Shelly in Panton-street, Mr. John Mead by the Fountain Tavern, and Mr. Richard Hamersly at the Marigold and Sun in the Strand, Mr. James Marmian at the Golden lion in Fleetstreet, and Mr. Doyley at the Plow in Lombard-street, Goldsmiths, are appointed for Receiving the Money, and to pay the Fortunate their Benefits; and with the Managers for the Million Adventure, are Trustees to see all this with Justice, to the best of their Judgments performed. At the Goldsmiths Shops likewise, Printed Papers describing the whole matter at large, may( by such as take Tickets) be had.  
Which Proposal foregoing, has been so much approved of, that since the Stop( which to give way to public Convenience, was for some time put to it) has been removed with leave, from the Farmers of all the Lotteries, and Their Majesties Favour, without which it could not have been Published in the London Gazette; it has filled in such sort, that 'tis not to be doubted, but that twill be quiter Full, and certainly Drawn at the Time, notwithstanding the many other Adventures set up to obstruct it; and especially One for 50000 l. newly come out, under the Title of The Double Chance, whereof Mr. neal would have taken no Notice, but that he sees not only himself and his Proposal Reflected on in't, but thinks it also his Duty( being the first Setter up of this sort of Adventures) to let all People know that they indeed are imposed on, if, from any thing in that Paper they are made to believe, that they have any greater Advantage given them, then what is Proposed by Mr. neal in his; for out of each 50000 l. 10 per Cent, is Proposed to be allowed, and taken for Charges, Hazard, and Trouble. So that 45000 l. is all will be left in either for the ●ven●urers; and whether they have it in more or less Chance, 〈◇〉 〈…〉 tis the same thing: And that no body may think that Mr. N●●●● did not set out his, with such Double Chance, because twas not thought on, 'tis really otherwise, 'twas put into Writing before July, by him, and on mature Deliberation and Advising upon't, 'twas resolved it should not be put so, being only a Seeming, and no Real Advantage at all; most that put in such small Sums as 20 s. being supposed to be willing to lose it, or to get something considerable by it. And  
Whereas, The Publisher in his 3dly, to impose on the unwary, takes the Confidence to say, that he that puts in 100 l. can be said to Adventure but 80 l. I say downright he Adventures 100 l. and where 10 per Cent. is deducted, he has but his Chance for his Share of 90 l. let it be divided or as often drawn for, as 'twill: As to the Rebate, which he says was only Pretended, and nothing if not drawn, because to be paid by the Profits; 'twas a real Rebate, and for as much as it came to a real Advantage to every Adventurer that took it, which many did, and every one might for the first Fifty days, and was to those that would make it so, a reducing th● 10 per Cent. asked in all these Proposals for Charges, to 8 l. 6 s. 8 d. and by consequence, instead of being a worse, was by so much a better Propos●● then is now made by this Double Chance; so 'tis plain, that whole Par●graph is entirely Fallacious, and to say( the best that with Modesty oug●● to be said of it) untrue. And  
Those that now set out this Double Chance, do wisely to allow no Interest by way of Rebate, least they pay it themselves, and so choose rather to leave the Adventurer to lose it, which he may probably do for tho( like sovereigns) they Publish in Print, That it is Resolved to be Drawn the 14 Decemb. 1694. 'tis possible it may not be so, they having no leave, as Mr. neal thinks, from Their Majesties, nor the Farmers of the Lotteries, and without which he would not have presumed to Proceed.  
As to what is 4thly said, to be an universal Objection against the way of Drawing, intended by Mr. neal, Mr. neal hopes is a Title given to it by himself and opposers only, it carrying with it indeed( whether understood or not) the very same Chance as the other does, where all the Numbers are Drawn, with this further Advantage and Satisfaction. That in this short way of Drawing every Adventurer may( it may be) spare time to be an eye-witness, that his Number is put in and Drawn in such sort, as to give him a fair Chance for the Prizes, which the tediousness of the other way of Drawing, will give very few the opportunity of seeing.  
As to the Advantage Proposed at last, by way of Memorandum, 'tis such a one, as if it should come into the power of any one to require it, 'tis one hundred to one, but he'l be so wise as to let it alone.  
Nothing in this before-said is designed in the least to Reflect on the Noble Persons name for its Trustees, 'tis rather supposed, they may have been imposed on, and not thoroughly considered the Paper. In short,  
Mr. Neale's Lottery will be certainly drawn and ended the Week after Michaelmas, with Leave as afore-said: And whether The Double Chance will be Drawn without it, and ever ended or not, is left to the World to Judge, and to time to Determine.  
Note, The 50000 l. which Mr. Neale's Lottery is proposed to Consist of whe● full, is to be Drawn all at once among the Adventurers who shall have Pai●… 50000 l. for it; Whereas of the 50000 l. which the Double Chance is proposed t●… Consist of, if full, 40800 l. only is at once to be Drawn among the Adventurer●… who shall have Paid 50000 l. for't. 'tis true, the other 9200 l. is to be afterwar●… Drawn, and makes up the 40800 l. 50000 l. only; So that as to point of Adva●…tage and Dividend of Money among the Adventurers, 'tis neither better 〈…〉 worse than what is proposed by Mr. neal, with this Inconvenience to Bo●… if the Double Chance ever be Drawn, which 'tis hard to Imagine, being set 〈…〉 without Leave, instead of 3 or 4 days proposed for the Drawing by Mr. Ne●… 'twill require more Weeks to do it; and being to be so Drawn at twice, 'twill 〈…〉 main the more subject( let what care will be taken) as well to Deceit as Mistak●…
