a_o great_a many_o worthy_a man_n who_o be_v also_o man_n of_o considerable_a bulk_n and_o fortune_n in_o their_o country_n sure_o the_o indigent_a i_o shall_v rather_o say_v the_o rich_a debtor_n in_o that_o assembly_n be_v neither_o so_o numerous_a as_o to_o carry_v this_o against_o they_o nor_o so_o artful_a as_o to_o draw_v they_o in_o to_o vote_n it_o against_o themselves_o i_o have_v say_v here_o the_o rich_a debtor_n because_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v only_a they_o those_o that_o have_v cash_n lie_v ready_a by_o they_o but_o will_v not_o pay_v it_o because_o of_o their_o expectation_n of_o this_o very_a advantage_n that_o can_v receive_v any_o benefit_n at_o all_o by_o the_o propose_a alteration_n of_o our_o coin_n the_o indigent_a that_o have_v not_o such_o superfluous_a cash_n lie_v by_o they_o when_o this_o alteration_n happen_v to_o be_v make_v however_o they_o find_v money_n afterward_o will_v be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v it_o with_o one_o hand_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o they_o pay_v it_o with_o the_o other_o so_o that_o they_o will_v have_v no_o manner_n of_o profit_n by_o the_o matter_n but_o nevertheless_o the_o rich_a creditor_n will_v on_o all_o all_o hand_n certain_o lose_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o need_v any_o explanation_n but_o i_o beg_v pardon_n of_o you_o sir_n and_o of_o the_o public_a if_o i_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o obscurity_n than_o of_o tediousness_n and_o if_o i_o hazard_v therefore_o upon_o so_o important_a a_o point_n to_o offend_v rather_o in_o length_n than_o in_o brevity_n my_o thought_n be_v these_o when_o the_o alteration_n in_o coin_n be_v once_o make_v in_o the_o very_a same_o moment_n a_o alteration_n in_o the_o real_a value_n of_o every_o other_o thing_n go_v along_o with_o it_o not_o that_o any_o thing_n for_o that_o reason_n will_v be_v worth_n more_o ounce_n of_o silver_n than_o it_o be_v before_o but_o by_o continue_v to_o be_v worth_a just_a the_o same_o number_n of_o ounce_n of_o silver_n that_o it_o be_v before_o it_o will_v be_v worth_n more_o shilling_n or_o crown_n proportionable_o as_o those_o piece_n shall_v be_v either_o diminish_v in_o weight_n or_o raise_v in_o name_n now_o this_o alteration_n in_o those_o thing_n if_o the_o alteration_n in_o coin_n be_v great_a will_v quick_o be_v perceive_v by_o every_o one_o if_o it_o be_v small_a it_o will_v be_v the_o less_o perceptible_a but_o then_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o last_a now_o the_o wealthy_a gentleman_n that_o receive_v in_o his_o debt_n in_o this_o raise_a coin_n if_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o pay_v it_o away_o the_o same_o moment_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o another_o debt_n neither_o get_v indeed_o nor_o lose_v by_o that_o single_a transaction_n but_o the_o indigent_a man_n who_o be_v to_o provide_v himself_o necessary_n with_o the_o sum_n that_o he_o so_o receive_v and_o the_o wealthy_a gentleman_n also_o that_o lay_v by_o his_o sum_n till_o they_o grow_v great_a enough_o for_o some_o bargain_n that_o he_o have_v in_o prospect_n or_o that_o keep_v they_o only_o for_o the_o currant_n course_n of_o his_o ordinary_a expense_n will_v both_o of_o they_o certain_o lose_v for_o the_o rate_n of_o every_o thing_n rise_v proportionable_o to_o this_o alteration_n in_o coin_n whatever_o either_o of_o they_o have_v occasion_n to_o buy_v will_v be_v so_o much_o dear_a than_o it_o be_v before_o as_o their_o money_n be_v now_o worse_o and_o so_o much_o they_o therefore_o real_o lose_v but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o land_a man_n rent_n whether_o he_o be_v real_o opulent_a or_o indigent_a reach_v much_o further_o it_o be_v not_o only_o one_o single_a payment_n but_o a_o continue_a course_n of_o annual_a payment_n that_o he_o be_v to_o take_v care_n for_o suppose_v coin_n raise_v as_o it_o be_v call_v a_o half_a or_o a_o quarter_n part_n he_o will_v not_o only_o lose_v so_o much_o by_o the_o first_o quarter_n or_o half-year_n rent_n that_o he_o receive_v but_o for_o all_o lease_n rent-charge_n and_o other_o fix_a payment_n whatsoever_o he_o will_v evident_o go_v on_o to_o lose_v quarterly_o and_o annual_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n for_o the_o future_a as_o long_o as_o the_o term_n of_o those_o contract_n continue_v nay_o without_o restrain_v this_o consideration_n to_o lease_n and_o rent-charge_n even_o for_o all_o land_n let_v year_n by_o year_n without_o any_o such_o fix_a stipulation_n he_o will_v continue_v to_o lose_v considerable_o for_o a_o long_a while_n together_o those_o that_o will_v answer_v any_o thing_n pertinent_o to_o this_o last_o suggestion_n for_o to_o the_o first_o nothing_o can_v be_v answer_v i_o be_o bold_a to_o say_v have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v it_o than_o by_o maintain_v that_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v of_o necessity_n rise_v also_o as_o well_o as_o commodity_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o diminution_n which_o they_o call_v the_o heighten_v of_o coin_n but_o in_o do_v so_o they_o show_v manifest_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o own_o project_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v this_o alteration_n be_v make_v in_o coin_n when_o every_o thing_n else_o will_v thereupon_o alter_v according_o and_o return_v in_o a_o short_a while_n to_o bear_v the_o same_o proportion_n to_o the_o new_a name_n weight_n and_o fineness_n of_o coin_n as_o they_o do_v before_o to_o the_o old_a it_o be_v visible_a there_o be_v no_o other_o end_n in_o it_o but_o the_o enrich_n of_o a_o few_o money-monger_n and_o that_o the_o nation_n can_v receive_v no_o advantage_n by_o it_o more_o than_o the_o use_v of_o so_o much_o cash_n as_o they_o shall_v gracious_o please_v upon_o such_o a_o bribe_n to_o issue_v forth_o towards_o the_o payment_n of_o their_o own_o debt_n i_o be_o oblige_v therefore_o to_o grant_v by_o my_o own_o principle_n and_o i_o be_o glad_a our_o antagonist_n be_v thus_o far_o force_v to_o agree_v with_o i_o that_o in_o consequence_n of_o this_o raise_v of_o coin_n the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v of_o necessity_n rise_v also_o but_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o rise_v of_o rent_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o proceed_v very_o gradual_o the_o farmer_n will_v not_o easy_o be_v bring_v to_o own_o that_o the_o advancement_n which_o he_o will_v find_v in_o the_o price_n of_o his_o commodity_n after_o the_o raise_v of_o coin_n proceed_v from_o that_o reason_n no_o master_n say_v he_o to_o his_o landlord_n though_o this_o have_v be_v a_o pretty_a good_a year_n to_o we_o the_o like_a have_v be_v many_o time_n before_o and_o the_o next_o follow_v it_o have_v be_v a_o bad_a one_o god_n know_v but_o it_o may_v be_v so_o now_o therefore_o i_o hope_v your_o worship_n will_v not_o be_v hard_o with_o i_o i_o have_v be_v a_o long_a while_o a_o good_a tenant_n to_o your_o family_n etc._n etc._n such_o thing_n as_o these_o repeat_v over_o and_o over_o again_o without_o any_o notice_n take_v of_o the_o reason_n offer_v to_o the_o contrary_a will_v weary_v out_o many_o a_o landlord_n patience_n many_o a_o time_n over_o before_o their_o tenant_n will_v be_v bring_v to_o make_v new_a bargain_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o must_v infallible_o come_v to_o it_o but_o i_o believe_v all_o landlord_n be_v sensible_a that_o this_o must_v be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n and_o whilst_o this_o suspense_n and_o contest_v last_v the_o landlord_n must_v certain_o go_v on_o lose_v annual_o by_o the_o alteration_n that_o i_o argue_v against_o however_o since_o i_o be_o here_o strike_v upon_o this_o fatal_a rock_n which_o if_o our_o coin_n be_v raise_v will_v be_v unavoidable_o very_a ruinous_a to_o all_o that_o have_v any_o manner_n of_o
