draw_v bill_n and_o a_o thousand_o way_n beside_o which_o can_v be_v prevent_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o when_o law_n restrain_v interest_n of_o money_n below_o the_o price_n which_o the_o reason_n of_o trade_n settle_v and_o trader_n can_v as_o we_o will_v suppose_v evade_v the_o law_n or_o not_o without_o great_a difficulty_n or_o hazard_n and_o have_v not_o credit_v to_o borrow_v at_o legal_a interest_n to_o make_v or_o increase_v their_o stock_n so_o much_o of_o trade_n be_v lop_v off_o and_o there_o can_v be_v well_o a_o great_a obstruction_n to_o diminish_v trade_n then_o that_o will_v be_v the_o consideration_n of_o all_o these_o matter_n make_v out_o a_o universal_a maxim_n that_o as_o more_o buyer_n than_o seller_n raise_v the_o price_n of_o a_o commodity_n so_o more_o borrower_n than_o lender_n will_v raise_v interest_n and_o the_o state_n may_v with_o as_o much_o justice_n make_v a_o law_n that_o land_n which_o heretofore_o have_v be_v let_n for_o 10_o s._n per_fw-la acre_n shall_v not_o now_o be_v let_n for_o above_o 8_o s._n per_fw-la acre_n as_o that_o money_n or_o stock_n from_o 5_o per_fw-la cent_z shall_v be_v let_n for_o 4_o per_fw-mi cent_z the_o property_n be_v as_o good_a and_o as_o much_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o i_o will_v not_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o theological_a argument_n against_o interest_n of_o money_n by_o those_o 3_o per_fw-la cent_z be_v no_o more_o lawful_a than_o 4_o or_o 12._o but_o this_o i_o shall_v maintain_v political_o that_o if_o you_o take_v away_o interest_n you_o take_v away_o borrow_v and_o lend_v and_o in_o consequence_n the_o gentry_n who_o be_v behind_o hand_n be_v it_o for_o what_o cause_n soever_o must_v sell_v and_o can_v mortgage_v which_o will_v bring_v down_o the_o price_n of_o land_n and_o the_o trader_n whatever_o his_o skill_n be_v if_o he_o have_v no_o stock_n must_v either_o sit_v still_o or_o buy_v at_o time_n which_o be_v interest_n under_o another_o name_n and_o they_o who_o be_v poor_a will_v always_o be_v so_o and_o we_o shall_v soon_o relapse_n into_o the_o state_n of_o one_o thousand_o year_n ago_o and_o whereas_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v now_o reckon_v great_a let_v it_o be_v fair_o value_v and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v much_o less_o than_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v for_o all_o the_o money_n that_o be_v

owe_v 8000_o l._n and_o you_o value_v his_o land_n and_o the_o lender_n stock_n both_o you_o make_v a_o account_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n twice_o and_o whereas_o we_o make_v great_a account_n of_o moneyed_a man_n in_o the_o nation_n in_o truth_n there_o be_v but_o few_o for_o suppose_v all_o that_o have_v lend_v upon_o mortgage_n have_v land_n for_o their_o money_n as_o indeed_o in_o

all_o the_o numerous_a species_n of_o several_a commodity_n have_v a_o common_a measure_n beside_o the_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v thus_o coin_a into_o money_n and_o so_o become_v more_o usesul_n for_o commerce_n than_o in_o the_o log_n or_o block_n have_v in_o all_o place_n except_o in_o england_n since_o the_o free_a coinage_n reasonable_o obtain_v a_o great_a value_n than_o it_o have_v

procure_v chapman_n for_o it_o be_v present_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o want_v of_o money_n in_o the_o kingdom_n or_o country_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o his_o good_n do_v not_o go_v off_o and_o so_o want_v of_o money_n be_v the_o common_a cry_n which_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v i_o grant_v all_o stop_n in_o trade_n proceed_v from_o some_o cause_n but_o it_o be_v not_o from_o the_o want_n of_o specific_a money_n there_o be_v other_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o follow_a discourse_n no_o man_n be_v rich_a for_o have_v his_o estate_n all_o in_o money_n plate_n etc._n etc._n lie_v by_o he_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o be_v for_o that_o reason_n the_o poor_a that_o man_n be_v rich_a who_o estate_n be_v in_o a_o grow_a condition_n either_o in_o land_n at_o farm_n money_n at_o interest_n or_o good_n in_o trade_n if_o any_o man_n out_o of_o a_o humour_n shall_v turn_v all_o his_o estate_n into_o money_n and_o keep_v it_o dead_a he_o will_v soon_o be_v sensible_a of_o poverty_n grow_v upon_o he_o whilst_o he_o be_v eat_v out_o of_o the_o quick_a stock_n but_o to_o examine_v the_o matter_n close_o what_o do_v these_o people_n want_n who_o cry_v out_o for_o money_n i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o beggar_n he_o want_v and_o importune_v for_o money_n what_o will_v he_o do_v with_o it_o if_o he_o have_v it_o buy_v bread_n etc._n etc._n then_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o money_n but_o bread_n and_o other_o necessary_n for_o life_n that_o he_o want_v well_o then_o the_o farmer_n complain_v for_o the_o want_n of_o money_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o beggar_n be_v reason_n to_o sustain_v life_n or_o pay_v debt_n but_o he_o think_v that_o be_v more_o money_n in_o the_o country_n he_o shall_v have_v a_o price_n for_o his_o good_n then_o it_o seem_v money_n be_v not_o his_o want_n but_o a_o price_n for_o his_o corn_n and_o cattle_n which_o he_o will_v sell_v but_o can_v if_o it_o be_v ask_v if_o the_o want_n of_o money_n be_v not_o what_o then_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o can_v get_v a_o price_n i_o answer_v it_o must_v proceed_v from_o one_o of_o these_o three_o cause_n 1._o either_o there_o be_v too_o much_o corn_n and_o cattle_n in_o the_o country_n so_o that_o most_o who_o come_v to_o market_n have_v need_n of_o sell_v as_o he_o have_v and_o few_o of_o buy_v or_o 2._o there_o want_v the_o usual_a vent_n abroad_o by_o transportation_n as_o in_o time_n of_o war_n when_o trade_n be_v unsafe_a or_o not_o permit_v or_o 3._o the_o consumption_n fail_v as_o when_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o poverty_n do_v not_o spend_v so_o much_o in_o their_o house_n as_o former_o they_o do_v wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o increase_n of_o specific_a money_n which_o will_v at_o all_o advance_v the_o farmer_n good_n but_o the_o removal_n of_o any_o of_o these_o three_o cause_n which_o do_v true_o keep_v down_o the_o market_n the_o merchant_n and_o shopkeeper_n want_v money_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o be_v they_o want_v a_o vent_n for_o the_o good_n they_o deal_v in_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o market_n fail_v as_o they_o will_v always_o upon_o any_o cause_n like_o
