in_o foreign_a part_n will_v drain_v from_o we_o under_o which_o war_n no_o policy_n or_o advantage_n of_o trade_n can_v make_v we_o rich_a and_o it_o will_v be_v very_o well_o for_o we_o if_o our_o

and_o the_o transportation_n of_o our_o treasure_n and_o money_n into_o foreign_a country_n we_o have_v a_o old_a say_n viz._n need_n make_v the_o old_a wife_n troth_n even_o when_o herself_o and_o

and_o happiness_n of_o our_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o our_o late_a king_n james_n be_v give_v over_o by_o god_n to_o make_v a_o very_a ill_a and_o disadvantageous_a choice_n when_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o attack_v the_o nation_n and_o oppress_v they_o in_o these_o three_o most_o sensible_a and_o vital_a principle_n of_o their_o affection_n and_o government_n for_o which_o if_o he_o hearty_o repent_v as_o i_o very_o believe_v he_o have_v have_v and_o still_o have_v very_o good_a cause_n to_o do_v i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v he_o and_o forgive_v the_o nation_n those_o hard_a

proceed_v to_o our_o author_n letter_n concern_v gold_n and_o there_o pag._n 1._o he_o say_v that_o silver_n be_v then_o come_v to_o 6_o s._n 2_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n and_o then_o term_v the_o design_n of_o lessen_v the_o weight_n of_o our_o money_n a_o silly_a project_n he_o say_v that_o in_o 30_o year_n past_a there_o have_v be_v coin_v in_o england_n six_o million_o of_o milled_a money_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v hardly_o a_o piece_n of_o it_o now_o pass_v among_o we_o and_o if_o we_o go_v on_o to_o coin_n at_o that_o weight_n fineness_n and_o value_n we_o put_v our_o money_n into_o a_o fit_a condition_n for_o exportation_n he_o and_o i_o have_v before_o often_o differ_v but_o in_o this_o point_n and_o period_n we_o be_v full_o agree_v viz._n that_o the_o weight_n and_o sineness_n of_o our_o money_n be_v the_o prime_a cause_n of_o the_o exportation_n of_o it_o whereby_o it_o be_v quite_o drain_v out_o of_o our_o own_o country_n he_o say_v the_o parliament_n must_v take_v care_n of_o trade_n and_o provide_v that_o the_o balance_n of_o it_o may_v be_v in_o favour_n of_o ourselves_o a_o thing_n easy_a to_o be_v set_v down_o in_o word_n but_o not_o one_o word_n of_o direction_n how_o this_o may_v be_v do_v but_o which_o have_v he_o any_o knowledge_n of_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v discover_v it_o to_o they_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o by_o this_o

you_o may_v expect_v a_o wonderful_a improvement_n in_o that_o mystery_n but_o yet_o say_v he_o after_o all_o care_n that_o can_v be_v take_v of_o trade_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o if_o you_o do_v not_o suppress_v the_o price_n of_o guineas_n all_o the_o endeavour_n will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n you_o must_v needs_o suppress_v their_o value_n for_o if_o you_o do_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o silver_n money_n in_o the_o nation_n he_o set_v down_o p._n 2d_o proportionable_a value_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n that_o in_o the_o roman_a time_n the_o proportion_n be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o ten_o one_o ounce_n of_o gold_n be_v equal_a in_o value_n to_o ten_o of_o silver_n that_o in_o king_n edw._n the_o three_o time_n it_o be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o eleven_o he_o may_v have_v add_v that_o down_o to_o the_o time_n of_o king_n james_n i._n and_o his_o son_n king_n charles_n the_o proportion_n be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o twelve_o he_o say_v that_o in_o king_n charles_n the_o 2d_n time_n the_o proportion_n be_v of_o little_o more_o than_o of_o one_o to_o fourteen_o and_o that_o now_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o sixteen_o now_o say_v he_o if_o we_o coin_v our_o silver_n at_o the_o old_a weight_n and_o fineness_n which_o he_o say_v we_o certain_o aught_o to_o do_v but_o which_o i_o say_v plain_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v if_o we_o respect_v the_o benefit_n or_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o adjust_a the_o account_n between_o he_o and_o i_o concern_v the_o rate_n of_o guineas_n in_o our_o silver_n money_n until_o we_o can_v come_v to_o a_o consent_n and_o resolution_n concern_v the_o very_a weight_n of_o our_o silver_n money_n his_o silver_n money_n be_v compute_v at_o the_o weight_n of_o 3_o ounce_n and_o 320_o grain_n to_o the_o lib._n of_o money_n and_o i_o to_o the_o weight_n of_o three_o ounce_n only_o and_o this_o must_v needs_o make_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n in_o our_o computation_n concern_v the_o proportion_n of_o value_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n he_o repeat_v again_o that_o 6_o s._n 2_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n be_v when_o he_o write_v the_o currant_n price_n for_o silver_n deny_v in_o his_o other_o write_n he_o put_v a_o case_n of_o guineas_n and_o silver_n compare_v in_o very_o great_a sum_n sed_fw-la dolus_fw-la versatur_fw-la universalibus_fw-la and_o therefore_o i_o will_v propound_v a_o more_o particular_a computation_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o weight_n of_o a_o guinea_n be_v 128_o grain_n in_o other_o term_n a_o quarter_n of_o a_o ounce_n and_o 8_o odd_a grain_n the_o quarter_n ounce_n hold_v 120_o grain_n to_o compare_v these_o grain_n of_o gold_n to_o the_o value_n of_o so_o many_o of_o my_o grain_n of_o silver_n i_o compute_v that_o my_o quarter_n ounce_n or_o 120_o grain_n of_o silver_n value_v 20_o s._n and_o the_o odd_a 8_o grain_n value_v 1_o s._n ob_fw-la fere_n and_o together_o they_o make_v 21_o s._n ob_fw-la then_o multiply_v this_o by_o 16_o which_o he_o say_v be_v the_o proportion_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n 16_o time_n 21_o s._n ob_fw-la make_v 344_o s._n and_o these_o put_v into_o our_o ordinary_a count_n of_o money_n make_v 1_o l._n 8_o s._n 8_o d._n of_o which_o we_o will_v strike_v off_o 2_o d._n to_o adjust_a my_o ferè_fw-la and_o then_o there_o will_v remain_v 1_o l._n 8_o s._n 6_o d._n as_o the_o true_a value_n of_o a_o guinea_n according_a to_o the_o weight_n and_o value_n of_o our_o silver_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v to_o be_v accept_v he_o say_v after_o if_o we_o coin_v our_o silver_n of_o the_o ancient_a weight_n and_o fineness_n and_o cut_v it_o out_o into_o 3_o l._n 2_o s._n still_o the_o more_o of_o it_o will_v be_v export_v and_o the_o great_a

way_n by_o the_o infatuate_a affection_n which_o they_o may_v bear_v to_o a_o diana_n who_o cause_n they_o have_v undertake_v to_o promote_v our_o stamp_a money_n have_v its_o weight_n and_o

superscription_n make_v their_o current_a coin_n he_o say_v we_o value_v foreign_a money_n only_o by_o its_o weight_n and_o fineness_n and_o that_o be_v true_a and_o we_o know_v and_o find_v that_o they_o do_v so_o by_o we_o and_o therefore_o desire_v it_o but_o our_o own_o money_n in_o our_o own_o country_n have_v always_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v shall_v ever_o continue_v under_o the_o disposal_n of_o our_o government_n and_o the_o authority_n and_o stamp_n thereof_o notwithstanding_o his_o innovate_a and_o fluctuate_a invention_n for_o serve_v of_o a_o present_a turn_n next_o he_o put_v case_n of_o foreign_a trade_n who_o country_n will_v not_o submit_v to_o change_n in_o the_o value_v of_o our_o money_n i_o say_v if_o our_o money_n be_v the_o old_a heavy_a they_o covet_v it_o and_o will_v sell_v for_o few_o piece_n of_o it_o or_o will_v buy_v it_o to_o carry_v away_o the_o new_a light_a money_n they_o can_v reasonable_o desire_v to_o carry_v away_o be_v intend_v to_o be_v make_v rather_o at_o a_o lose_a truck_n and_o value_v this_o will_v make_v they_o choose_v to_o carry_v away_o their_o truck_n rather_o in_o commodity_n than_o money_n whereas_o for_o many_o year_n last_o pass_v their_o practice_n have_v be_v quite_o contrary_a and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o if_o we_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n or_o diminish_v its_o weight_n foreigner_n will_v suit_v we_o with_o their_o price_n according_o and_o from_o such_o trade_n no_o man_n can_v expect_v benefit_n by_o the_o raise_n the_o value_n of_o our_o money_n nor_o ever_o pretend_v to_o do_v it_o so_o as_o he_o may_v well_o have_v spare_v his_o argnment_n thereupon_o and_o what_o he_o say_v after_z of_o cheat_v the_o king_n the_o debtor_n he_o shall_v have_v say_v creditor_n landlord_n and_o seaman_n to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n have_v much_o boldness_n and_o very_o little_a truth_n in_o it_o but_o next_o he_o come_v to_o particular_a instance_n and_o there_o indeed_o he_o touch_v our_o sore_a at_o the_o quick_a and_o seem_v to_o reach_v the_o very_a bottom_n of_o it_o he_o say_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v receive_v six_o million_o in_o revenue_n i_o say_v if_o he_o shall_v receive_v so_o much_o it_o will_v make_v our_o case_n much_o the_o hard_a and_o i_o have_v rather_o have_v it_o put_v if_o the_o king_n shall_v receive_v five_o million_o in_o yearly_o revenue_n and_o i_o surmise_v the_o latter_a to_o be_v the_o more_o likely_a computation_n and_o before_o this_o can_v be_v right_o determine_v it_o seem_v necessary_a that_o as_o near_o a_o computation_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v know_v as_o can_v be_v procure_v if_o our_o coin_n be_v require_v to_o be_v lighten_v by_o a_o five_o part_n or_o more_o it_o must_v fall_v under_o man_n consideration_n that_o the_o king_n be_v whole_a revenue_n must_v fall_v in_o reality_n to_o four_o part_n of_o five_o so_o as_o if_o before_o the_o change_n it_o be_v five_o million_o now_o it_o will_v be_v reduce_v to_o four_o whence_o the_o king_n shall_v become_v loser_n of_o a_o whole_a million_o of_o money_n every_o year_n this_o the_o court_n and_o the_o man_n of_o state_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o obviate_v and_o prevent_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n which_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v the_o king_n to_o be_v trick_v of_o so_o great_a a_o revenue_n by_o the_o unlucky_a blast_n of_o such_o a_o side_n wind_n by_o a_o trick_n which_o whether_o we_o shall_v call_v it_o country_n and_o ignorant_a or_o subtle_a and_o dangerous_a do_v not_o yet_o clear_o appear_v but_o a_o dangerous_a effect_n must_v needs_o have_v follow_v upon_o so_o great_a a_o failure_n if_o the_o same_o have_v crude_o proceed_v without_o raise_v the_o king_n some_o certain_a and_o hnown_a or_o apparent_o likely_a recompense_n or_o compensation_n in_o another_o way_n we_o shall_v never_o have_v undergo_v our_o present_a pressure_n and_o payment_n with_o the_o little_a

from_o the_o main_a body_n of_o it_o to_o the_o great_a endanger_n of_o the_o very_a vital_n and_o hazard_v of_o its_o whole_a success_n we_o will_v not_o therefore_o desire_v or_o suffer_v so_o

l._n in_o silver_n and_o get_v it_o coin_v there_o into_o 6000_o l._n i_o say_v this_o will_v bring_v so_o much_o dutch_a silver_n into_o the_o kingdom_n and_o their_o most_o gainful_a trade_n with_o we_o will_v be_v make_v by_o send_v we_o still_o more_o silver_n which_o will_v then_o go_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n here_o than_o perhaps_o it_o may_v in_o holland_n as_o be_v late_o the_o case_n of_o our_o guineas_n next_o he_o say_v that_o no_o nation_n ever_o raise_v their_o money_n but_o it_o be_v to_o their_o prejudice_n and_o that_o the_o dutch_a never_o do_v nor_o ever_o will_v raise_v
