half_n quarter_n and_o eight_o which_o they_o call_v real_n and_o the_o other_o small_a piece_n which_o have_v be_v half_n quarter_n and_o eight_o to_o the_o old_a piece_n of_o eight_o bear_v then_o the_o same_o relation_n to_o the_o escudo_fw-la the_o gold_n be_v not_o alter_v in_o name_n but_o only_o in_o the_o suppose_a value_n supposed_n i_o call_v it_o because_o it_o soon_o appear_v to_o be_v impracticable_a to_o make_v any_o other_o than_o a_o imaginary_a alteration_n in_o the_o value_n of_o coin_n by_o proclamation_n as_o the_o follow_a relation_n will_v i_o doubt_v not_o demonstrate_v the_o proclamation_n strict_o command_v that_o no_o person_n shall_v advance_v the_o price_n of_o any_o commodity_n with_o regard_n to_o the_o advance_v of_o the_o coin_n but_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o sell_v all_o sort_n of_o merchandise_n at_o the_o same_o price_n which_o they_o sell_v for_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o proclamation_n and_o the_o

every_o trader_n be_v compel_v to_o deliver_v as_o many_o good_n for_o four_o piece_n of_o eight_o as_o he_o have_v late_o sell_v for_o five_o though_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o say_a commodity_n this_o rigour_n be_v use_v for_o some_o time_n in_o most_o part_n if_o not_o throughout_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n insomuch_o that_o the_o foreign_a merchant_n reside_v in_o spain_n apply_v themselves_o to_o their_o ambassador_n in_o the_o court_n of_o spain_n and_o home_n to_o their_o principal_n in_o each_o foreign_a state_n complain_v of_o this_o abuse_n and_o

to_o loss_n for_o they_o all_o understand_v that_o a_o escudo_n send_v into_o their_o own_o country_n will_v not_o sell_v for_o more_o than_o when_o it_o be_v call_v a_o piece_n of_o eight_o neither_o will_v it_o long_o purchase_v any_o more_o in_o the_o market_n of_o spain_n itself_o for_o every_o seller_n in_o the_o kingdom_n soon_o perceive_v the_o fraud_n and_o will_v not_o part_v with_o this_o

then_o there_o be_v as_o much_o advantage_n by_o export_v the_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o before_o so_o that_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o kingdom_n receive_v no_o other_o benefit_n by_o the_o project_n of_o change_v the_o name_n of_o the_o coin_n except_o the_o unjust_a gain_n of_o a_o five_o part_n of_o such_o debt_n as_o be_v then_o due_a from_o the_o spaniard_n to_o the_o foreign_a merchant_n that_o trade_v with_o they_o the_o king_n indeed_o by_o pay_v his_o debt_n according_a to_o the_o rate_n of_o the_o proclamation_n bring_v great_a loss_n upon_o many_o of_o his_o own_o

what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v guess_v that_o the_o landlord_n in_o that_o kingdom_n together_o with_o the_o merchant_n as_o well_o native_n as_o foreigner_n who_o general_o give_v credit_n for_o great_a sum_n than_o they_o owe_v can_v not_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v just_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o discharge_v their_o tenant_n and_o debtor_n for_o four_o fifths_o of_o their_o debt_n in_o money_n and_o one_o five_o in_o proclamation_n which_o in_o a_o little_a time_n will_v not_o purchase_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o market_n when_o this_o news_n reach_v england_n the_o merchant_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o abate_v one_o five_o of_o their_o debt_n or_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o part_v with_o their_o good_n for_o less_o than_o they_o cost_v and_o in_o all_o their_o letter_n to_o their_o agent_n in_o spain_n reflect_v upon_o the_o dishonesty_n of_o the_o spaniard_n nay_o some_o of_o that_o people_n perceive_v the_o injustice_n of_o this_o usage_n though_o the_o law_n will_v have_v allow_v they_o to_o have_v pay_v eighty_o for_o a_o hundred_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o themselves_o to_o do_v so_o much_o injury_n to_o their_o creditor_n but_o like_o honest_a man_n pay_v so_o many_o escudo_n as_o they_o intend_v to_o pay_v piece_n of_o eight_o when_o they_o contract_v that_o debt_n because_o say_v they_o we_o be_v satisfy_v that_o our_o creditor_n design_v to_o have_v so_o many_o of_o those_o very_a piece_n which_o be_v call_v piece_n of_o eight_o at_o the_o time_n when_o they_o part_v with_o their_o good_n the_o same_o just_a deal_n i_o myself_o meet_v with_o from_o a_o trader_n there_o to_o who_o i_o have_v give_v credit_n before_o the_o proclamation_n and_o when_o he_o tell_v i_o he_o come_v to_o pay_v his_o debt_n i_o expect_v to_o have_v receive_v it_o with_o the_o same_o domination_n as_o other_o general_o do_v and_o that_o he_o will_v have_v take_v all_o the_o advantage_n the_o law_n allow_v but_o he_o be_v so_o just_a that_o he_o pay_v i_o as_o much_o silver_n as_o i_o expect_v to_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o at_o the_o time_n i_o sell_v he_o my_o good_n for_o which_o when_o i_o thank_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o he_o have_v do_v i_o a_o piece_n of_o justice_n which_o i_o do_v not_o expect_v he_o give_v i_o for_o answer_n that_o if_o he_o have_v find_v the_o king_n can_v have_v raise_v the_o value_n when_o he_o alter_v the_o name_n of_o the_o coin_n than_o he_o will_v have_v pay_v i_o according_a to_o the_o proclamation_n but_o since_o he_o be_v sensible_a he_o can_v not_o make_v his_o escudo_n purchase_v more_o at_o market_n than_o when_o it_o be_v call_v a_o piece_n of_o eight_o he_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o pay_v i_o as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o i_o understand_v i_o be_v to_o have_v and_o he_o contract_v to_o give_v i_o before_o the_o king_n change_v their_o name_n for_o say_v he_o the_o king_n be_v alter_v the_o name_n of_o the_o piece_n of_o eight_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v suppose_v my_o neighbour_n peter_n to_o be_v possess_v of_o ten_o thousand_o ducat_n estate_n and_o i_o who_o be_o call_v john_n to_o have_v but_o two_o thousand_o and_o that_o the_o king_n shall_v by_o proclamation_n cause_v i_o to_o be_v call_v peter_n thereby_o design_v to_o make_v i_o worth_a ten_o thousand_o ducat_n also_o for_o unless_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o will_v add_v to_o my_o estate_n i_o fear_v nay_o purse_n will_v not_o be_v heavy_a than_o when_o i_o be_v call_v john_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o king_n have_v oblige_v i_o to_o discharge_v my_o debtor_n if_o they_o pay_v i_o four_o fifths_o of_o their_o debt_n yet_o i_o do_v think_v it_o just_a for_o i_o not_o to_o pay_v better_o and_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o be_v send_v to_o the_o devil_n by_o a_o proclamation_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o best_a account_n i_o be_o capable_a of_o what_o pass_v in_o spain_n whilst_o i_o be_v there_o upon_o

impartial_o consider_v to_o convince_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n otherways_o than_o in_o imagination_n and_o that_o the_o attempt_v
