preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n yearly_a with_o good_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o diverse_a other_o act_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v by_o they_o religious_o perform_v even_o in_o the_o time_n now_o of_o

before_o the_o east_n india_n trade_n begin_v for_o it_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o in_o those_o day_n we_o often_o pay_v 6._o shilling_n or_o more_o for_o a_o pound_n of_o pepper_n and_o

very_o worthy_a to_o be_v diligent_o observe_v and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o give_v answer_n unto_o the_o four_o and_o last_o objection_n the_o four_o objection_n it_o be_v general_o observe_v that_o his_o majesty_n mint_n have_v have_v but_o little_a employment_n ever_o sithence_o the_o east_n india_n trade_n begin_v wherefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o only_a remedy_n for_o this_o and_o so_o many_o evil_n beside_o be_v to_o put_v down_o this_o trade_n for_o what_o other_o remedy_n can_v there_o be_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o answer_n this_o four_o objection_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n 1._o a_o evil_a declare_v 2._o a_o remedy_n propound_v 3._o and_o counsel_v demand_v mint_n and_o first_o concern_v the_o evil_a or_o want_n of_o silver_n i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v and_o be_v a_o general_a disease_n of_o all_o nation_n and_o so_o will_v continue_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o poor_a and_o rich_a complain_v they_o never_o have_v enough_o but_o it_o seem_v the_o malady_n be_v grow_v mortal_a here_o with_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o cry_v out_o for_o remedy_n well_o i_o hope_v it_o be_v but_o imagination_n make_v we_o sick_a report_n when_o all_o our_o part_n be_v sound_a and_o strong_a for_o who_o know_v not_o the_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o plate_n possess_v by_o the_o people_n thereof_o almost_o of_o all_o degree_n in_o such_o measure_n as_o never_o have_v be_v see_v in_o former_a age_n and_o for_o his_o majesty_n mint_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o there_o have_v be_v coin_a in_o five_o year_n together_o since_o the_o east_n india_n company_n begin_v 6214._o begin_v pound_n weight_n of_o gold_n and_o 311384._o pound_n weight_n of_o sterling_a money_n all_o which_o gold_n and_o silver_n do_v amount_v unto_o the_o sum_n of_o 1213850._o pound_n of_o sterling_a money_n how_o then_o do_v this_o trade_n turn_v the_o currant_n and_o employment_n of_o the_o mint_n but_o upon_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o truth_n perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o we_o must_v resort_v unto_o the_o present_a time_n the_o mint_n be_v idle_a now_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o likewise_o the_o mint_n have_v little_a or_o no_o employment_n for_o coinage_n of_o silver_n in_o former_a time_n money_n when_o the_o say_a company_n do_v not_o export_v above_o fifteen_o or_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n sterling_a at_o the_o most_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la no_o nor_o yet_o in_o the_o year_n 1608._o and_o 1612_o when_o in_o the_o former_a they_o ship_v out_o but_o 6000.l._n 00._o s._n 00d._o and_o in_o the_o latter_a but_o 1250.l._n 00._o s._n 00.d._n sterling_a so_o that_o both_o way_n we_o see_v that_o the_o mint_n have_v have_v very_o great_a employment_n five_o year_n together_o since_o the_o east_n india_n trade_n begin_v and_o also_o it_o have_v be_v without_o employment_n diverse_a year_n when_o the_o east_n india_n company_n have_v send_v away_o but_o very_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n wherefore_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v some_o other_o cause_n and_o mean_n whereby_o our_o silver_n be_v not_o export_v only_o but_o also_o it_o be_v not_o import_v into_o the_o realm_n as_o in_o former_a time_n for_o we_o have_v not_o have_v the_o mean_n by_o our_o own_o plenty_n not_o by_o the_o scarcity_n of_o our_o neighbour_n for_o the_o space_n
