English term or phrase: the hope of gain
They were heavily taxed; they were
disgracefully badged; they were, on one day, thirteen years after the
coronation, taken up with their wives and children and thrown into beastly
prisons, until they purchased their release by paying to the King twelve
thousand pounds. Finally, every kind of property belonging to them was
seized by the King, except so little as would defray the charge of their
taking themselves away into foreign countries. Many years elapsed before
the hope of gain induced any of their race to return to England, where they
had been treated so heartlessly and had suffered so much.
