A44077 The groans of the poor, the misery of traders, and the calamity of the publick for the spoiling of our money, for the want of our money, and for the loss that will befal the King and the nation, if there be not as much money coined in the room of it, to pay our taxes, drive our trades, pay our rents, and the the poor to buy bread : and an humble proposal to raise four millions of money for His Majesty's and the nation's use / humbly proposed by a faithful servant to His Majesty and the nation, William Hodges. Hodges, William, Sir, 1645?-1714. 1696 (1696) Wing H2328; ESTC R36001 23,173 37

be_v with_o bill_n from_o shop_n to_o shop_n and_o exchange_v bill_n at_o every_o one_o of_o they_o for_o several_a shop_n so_o that_o if_o one_o in_o ten_o can_v spare_v money_n it_o will_v serve_v and_o the_o bill_n be_v pay_v but_o by_o that_o trick_n i_o be_v once_o or_o twice_o so_o serve_v i_o learn_v to_o consider_v of_o it_o more_o afterward_o and_o also_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o trade_n how_o they_o can_v pay_v 6_o per_fw-mi cent._n ready_a money_n and_o the_o law_n allow_v themselves_o to_o take_v no_o more_o and_o yet_o they_o get_v estate_n but_o then_o i_o consider_v many_o man_n for_o some_o year_n it_o may_v be_v since_o money_n have_v be_v so_o bad_a have_v rather_o choose_v to_o take_v goldsmith_n note_n and_o these_o sum_n as_o i_o say_v of_o paper-money_n among_o the_o goldsmith_n be_v modest_o compute_v at_o two_o million_o of_o money_n the_o interest_n be_v a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n clear_a profit_n among_o they_o and_o i_o suppose_v now_o the_o bank_n may_v have_v a_o million_o or_o fifteen_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n in_o bill_n and_o these_o bill_n pass_v more_o current_a than_o guinea_n or_o our_o white_a money_n and_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v one_o goldsmith_n boy_n be_v hand_n shall_v go_v for_o bill_n of_o several_a sum_n for_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n some_o of_o they_o two_o hundred_o or_o five_o hundred_o pound_n a_o piece_n to_o one_o man_n and_o i_o have_v see_v such_o strive_n for_o goldsmith_n bill_n and_o bank-bill_n of_o late_a make_v man_n to_o conclude_v it_o will_v be_v extraordinary_a useful_a to_o have_v the_o four_o million_o of_o bill_n raise_v as_o aforesaid_a and_o that_o especial_o to_o supply_v our_o want_n of_o money_n now_o the_o old_a be_v call_v in_o for_o though_o the_o old_a money_n be_v exceed_v bad_a yet_o it_o serve_v to_o trade_n with_o and_o go_v to_o market_n and_o as_o many_o use_n to_o say_v if_o it_o be_v leather_n if_o it_o will_v pass_v it_o will_v serve_v but_o i_o do_v very_o think_v there_o will_v be_v exceed_o great_a need_n to_o dispense_v the_o go_n of_o all_o shilling_n and_o six-pence_n that_o be_v not_o clip_v within_o the_o ring_n for_o poor_a people_n in_o city_n and_o country_n to_o have_v money_n to_o buy_v their_o bread_n with_o and_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o refusal_n of_o such_o money_n as_o be_v not_o clip_v either_o shilling_n or_o half_a crown_n be_v a_o grievous_a affliction_n that_o people_n put_v upon_o themselves_o and_o on_o other_o for_o there_o must_v be_v money_n to_o change_v or_o if_o not_o farewell_o all_o the_o market_n in_o england_n and_o sarewel_o great_a part_n of_o the_o retailer_n of_o small_a ware_n and_o victualler_n and_o chandler_n for_o in_o holland_n and_o suedeland_n where_o they_o strive_v to_o have_v in_o bank_n dollar_n and_o our_o crown_n piece_n for_o their_o great_a payment_n they_o do_v take_v care_n to_o furnish_v the_o people_n with_o other_o money_n to_o trade_n with_o that_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o carry_v away_o yet_o i_o say_v god_n sorbid_v we_o shall_v have_v such_o mix_v base_a money_n as_o abundance_n of_o outlandish-money_n be_v yet_o we_o must_v have_v abundance_n of_o small_a money_n or_o the_o poor_a may_v starve_v themselves_o for_o want_n of_o money_n to_o go_v to_o market_n with_o and_o for_o our_o new_a money_n if_o it_o be_v coin_v with_o speed_n it_o must_v follow_v by_o consequence_n it_o must_v be_v coin_v in_o crown_n piece_n and_o half_a crown_n and_o it_o be_v my_o real_a thought_n that_o the_o first_o half_a year_n coinage_n will_v be_v quick_o melt_v down_o or_o carry_v away_o for_o if_o silver_n be_v fall_v on_o the_o very_a hope_n of_o it_o a_o shilling_n a_o ounce_n when_o there_o be_v not_o a_o supply_n from_o abroad_o for_o the_o goldsmith_n nor_o the_o mint_n than_o i_o do_v judge_v it_o will_v keep_v down_o while_o that_o money_n last_v and_o i_o do_v presume_v that_o all_o the_o law_n that_o have_v be_v make_v this_o three_o hundred_o year_n can_v never_o prevent_v it_o for_o now_o cheat_v the_o king_n and_o nation_n be_v at_o a_o full_a growth_n almost_o and_o if_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n and_o real_a execution_n of_o some_o can_v not_o prevent_v clip_v and_o coin_v where_o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v several_a confederates_n that_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o how_o much_o easy_a will_v it_o be_v to_o melt_v it_o down_o where_o one_o man_n can_v melt_v down_o a_o thousand_o pound_n of_o it_o and_o neither_o wise_a nor_o servant_n ever_o know_v of_o it_o and_o if_o the_o same_o man_n shall_v accuse_v himself_o he_o will_v be_v judge_v a_o mad_a man_n and_o so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v profit_n to_o carry_v it_o away_o it_o lie_v in_o so_o little_a room_n that_o it_o will_v be_v carry_v away_o if_o the_o law_n be_v death_n and_o forseiture_n of_o good_n if_o catch_v as_o it_o be_v in_o spain_n and_o the_o priest_n to_o tell_v they_o the_o great_a danger_n of_o break_v the_o king_n law_n as_o they_o will_v pretend_v it_o may_v be_v damnation_n in_o their_o own_o cause_n but_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o king_n and_o country_n the_o king_n officer_n the_o king_n soldier_n and_o the_o fatherly-priest_n will_v all_o help_v away_o the_o money_n in_o despite_n of_o law_n and_o gospel_n for_o a_o few_o dollar_n and_o if_o they_o or_o any_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n outdo_v we_o either_o in_o art_n or_o part_n or_o skill_n or_o will_v to_o cheat_v their_o king_n and_o country_n i_o be_o deceive_v let_v who_o will_v be_v pay_v most_o plentisul_o to_o the_o contrary_n and_o this_o i_o must_v say_v further_o if_o when_o our_o money_n be_v worth_a but_o two_o penny_n the_o ounce_n melt_v down_o and_o six_o penny_n in_o the_o pound_n carry_v away_o it_o be_v do_v both_o for_o some_o year_n then_o now_o it_o have_v be_v carry_v away_o or_o melt_v down_o so_o to_o be_v so_o scarce_o none_o appear_v and_o they_o have_v take_v our_o good_n of_o late_a instead_o of_o money_n and_o all_o our_o manufacture_n in_o england_n have_v have_v the_o great_a trade_n for_o transportation_n this_o year_n that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v be_v this_o twenty_o year_n and_o our_o good_n rise_v because_o they_o send_v back_o our_o guineas_n for_o they_o also_o then_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n if_o our_o guineas_n fall_v or_o our_o silver_n worth_n carry_v away_o our_o good_n may_v be_v leave_v in_o our_o hand_n for_o drug_n as_o before_o and_o our_o money_n carry_v away_o and_o all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a i_o fancy_n be_v only_o to_o endeavour_v to_o blind_v the_o nation_n for_o indeed_o since_o our_o milled_a money_n be_v go_v and_o the_o clipping_n of_o the_o old_a melt_v down_o and_o go_v and_o silver_n do_v rise_v to_o seven_o shilling_n the_o ounce_n there_o be_v no_o likely_a way_n how_o to_o have_v silver_n cheap_a for_o all_o the_o melt_a goldsmith_n in_o city_n and_o country_n to_o be_v supply_v with_o and_o for_o all_o merchant_n to_o ship_n off_o but_o by_o have_v large_a mill_v money_n enough_o to_o carry_v away_o but_o here_o will_v be_v this_o comfort_n that_o it_o
