charge_n of_o send_v it_o from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o the_o exchange_n to_o holland_n and_o other_o place_n will_v always_o govern_v according_o the_o author_n say_v in_o the_o four_o place_n 73._o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o export_v bullion_n or_o coin_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o government_n or_o by_o public_a authority_n and_o such_o a_o exportation_n as_o proceed_v from_o the_o exorbitant_a profit_n of_o the_o melter_n but_o let_v the_o occasion_n be_v what_o it_o will_v either_o for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o government_n that_o be_v for_o pay_v our_o force_n abroad_o etc._n etc._n or_o for_o the_o pay_v what_o we_o owe_v by_o the_o overbalance_n of_o trade_n if_o we_o owe_v abroad_o more_o than_o our_o export_n in_o commodity_n can_v supply_v money_n or_o bullion_n must_v go_v and_o go_v it_o will_v till_o people_n be_v grow_v poor_a and_o then_o they_o will_v abate_v in_o their_o expense_n of_o foreign_a good_n and_o so_o the_o tide_n will_v turn_v again_o but_o we_o ought_v to_o husband_n our_o trade_n so_o as_o not_o to_o suffer_v that_o poverty_n to_o come_v upon_o we_o which_o will_v have_v a_o bad_a effect_n to_o weaken_v our_o hand_n and_o expose_v we_o to_o a_o more_o powerful_a enemy_n before_o the_o english_a coin_n be_v so_o clip_v and_o counterfeit_v as_o real_o to_o debase_v it_o in_o the_o esteem_n and_o value_v of_o the_o people_n and_o consequent_o of_o foreigner_n there_o be_v little_a profit_n make_v by_o melt_v down_o our_o heavy_a money_n as_o have_v be_v say_v but_o in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o repeat_v some_o thing_n and_o bullion_n advance_v but_o little_a but_o when_o the_o money_n decline_v in_o its_o value_n in_o the_o common_a opinion_n than_o bullion_n advance_v and_o consequent_o gold_n and_o so_o likewise_o have_v all_o other_o commodity_n or_o rather_o they_o keep_v their_o old_a value_n and_o you_o must_v give_v more_o clip_v shilling_n and_o

which_o sell_v for_o 6._o s._n 5_o d._n a_o ounce_n this_o he_o receive_v in_o clip_v and_o bad_a money_n and_o with_o this_o he_o can_v buy_v no_o more_o necessary_n than_o he_o can_v before_o with_o

which_o be_v what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o those_o who_o be_v to_o receive_v money_n have_v sustain_v some_o present_a real_a loss_n which_o in_o case_n money_n shall_v be_v raise_v in_o their_o denomination_n they_o will_v continue_v to_o bear_v which_o seem_v not_o equal_a 74._o this_o the_o author_n take_v notice_n of_o in_o his_o five_o and_o last_o answer_n wherein_o what_o he_o say_v concern_v the_o balance_n of_o trade_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o exportation_n of_o silver_n arise_v thence_o be_v very_o true_a in_o the_o main_a though_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v not_o that_o which_o occasion_n the_o great_a fall_n in_o the_o exchange_n between_o holland_n and_o here_o but_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v the_o badness_n of_o our_o silver_n coin_n now_o as_o to_o the_o loss_n which_o will_v happen_v in_o all_o rent_n and_o revenue_n public_a and_o private_a etc._n etc._n the_o author_n say_v the_o value_n of_o silver_n be_v rise_v and_o so_o person_n may_v purchase_v as_o much_o with_o a_o new_a crown_n call_v 6_o s._n 3_o d._n as_o they_o can_v with_o 6_o s._n 3_o d._n of_o the_o clip_a money_n that_o pass_v now_o i_o agree_v they_o may_v do_v so_o but_o it_o be_v not_o that_o silver_n be_v rise_v so_o much_o but_o because_o our_o coin_n be_v fall_v in_o value_n or_o debase_v therefore_o silver_n seem_v to_o be_v rise_v when_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o i_o mean_v in_o any_o great_a degree_n and_o the_o loss_n be_v that_o so_o much_o can_v be_v purchase_v now_o for_o 6_o s._n 3_o d._n as_o may_v have_v be_v before_o the_o debase_v the_o money_n the_o price_n of_o silver_n be_v what_o it_o be_v worth_a in_o good_a weighty_a standard_n money_n not_o what_o be_v it_o worth_a in_o bad_a for_o silver_n be_v now_o worth_a in_o holland_n not_o above_o 5_o s._n 3_o d._n a_o ounce_n and_o therefore_o as_o be_v beforesaid_a the_o balance_n of_o trade_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o great_a fall_n of_o the_o exchange_n for_o holland_n but_o the_o debase_v of_o our_o coin_n and_o if_o as_o i_o have_v often_o say_v some_o loss_n have_v already_o happen_v to_o particular_a person_n i_o think_v it_o be_v fit_a a_o stop_n shall_v be_v put_v to_o it_o and_o this_o can_v true_o be_v do_v but_o by_o new_a coin_v the_o money_n according_a to_o its_o old_a denomination_n and_o standard_n and_o here_o it_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o say_v something_o particular_o concern_v the_o king_n revenue_n as_o the_o money_n common_o currant_n be_v debase_v and_o thereupon_o the_o exchange_n for_o holland_n proportionable_o fall_v the_o crown_n lose_v about_o one_o five_o part_n of_o all_o the_o money_n pay_v abroad_o to_o the_o army_n and_o also_o of_o all_o money_n expend_v here_o except_o wage_n to_o seaman_n and_o salary_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o civil_a list_n for_o that_o all_o the_o commodity_n both_o from_o abroad_o and_o those_o produce_v at_o home_n cost_v at_o least_o one_o five_o part_n more_o than_o they_o do_v and_o consequent_o five_o million_o now_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o four_o do_v before_o and_o the_o case_n will_v be_v the_o same_o if_o the_o crown_n be_v new_o coin_v and_o call_v or_o raise_v to_o 6_o s._n 3_o d._n then_o whereas_o about_o five_o million_o a_o year_n have_v be_v think_v necessary_a for_o the_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n there_o must_v in_o such_o case_n be_v give_v six_o and_o the_o land_n which_o be_v before_o charge_v 4_o s._n in_o the_o pound_n must_v be_v in_o proportion_n charge_v 5_o s._n in_o the_o pound_n now_o but_o then_o consider_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o landlord_n in_o case_n of_o raise_v the_o crown_n to_o 6_o s._n 3_o d._n he_o pay_v 5_o s._n out_o of_o 20_o s._n for_o 4_o s._n that_o he_o pay_v before_o and_o for_o 20_o s._n he_o

purpose_n that_o 16_o s._n do_v before_o have_v now_o do_v with_o these_o reason_n 90._o i_o pass_v to_o the_o author_n corrollary_n wherein_o he_o note_n that_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n be_v the_o original_a cause_n of_o the_o scarcity_n of_o silver_n in_o england_n and_o the_o loss_n by_o the_o foreign_a exchange_n the_o first_o be_v most_o certain_o true_a and_o as_o the_o author_n say_v whoever_o can_v propose_v a_o mean_n to_o convert_v it_o to_o our_o advantage_n ought_v well_o to_o be_v hear_v indeed_o necessity_n will_v enforce_v it_o ere_o long_o but_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o exchange_n to_o holland_n etc._n etc._n where_o we_o give_v the_o certain_a sum_n and_o they_o in_o exchange_v the_o uncertain_a or_o its_o rise_n to_o other_o place_n where_o we_o give_v the_o uncertain_a sum_n and_o they_o the_o certain_a be_v not_o the_o scarcity_n of_o silver_n here_o for_o that_o will_v rather_o have_v just_a the_o contrary_a effect_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o badness_n of_o our_o present_a currant_n coin_n as_o have_v be_v before_o intimate_v which_o i_o own_o can_v be_v now_o remedy_v any_o other_o way_n but_o by_o new_a coin_v it_o the_o author_n second_o general_n head_n concern_v the_o present_a state_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o gold_n and_o silver_n coin_n on_o which_o the_o author_n discourse_v very_o ingenious_o and_o rational_o and_o i_o believe_v hit_v as_o near_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o matter_n as_o any_o one_o can_v in_o fact_n that_o can_v only_o be_v estimate_v and_o guess_v at_o the_o author_n under_o

consideration_n of_o all_o the_o reason_n particular_o only_o i_o shall_v add_v two_o which_o i_o think_v weighty_a the_o first_o be_v the_o present_a and_o continue_a loss_n till_o it_o be_v effect_v to_o those_o who_o receive_v rent_n and_o money_n upon_o former_a contract_n the_o other_o be_v the_o loss_n to_o the_o crown_n in_o the_o money_n give_v for_o aid_n which_o can_v in_o no_o sort_n be_v compensated_a by_o the_o gain_n upon_o the_o money_n the_o crown_n shall_v at_o such_o time_n happen_v to_o have_v in_o cash_n 152._o the_o author_n in_o his_o four_o and_o five_o general_a head_n propose_v the_o mean_n and_o method_n for_o re-establishment_n of_o the_o silver_n coin_n and_o supply_v the_o commerce_n and_o pay_v tax_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n which_o i_o think_v in_o the_o general_n be_v admirable_o well_o contrive_v and_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v practicable_a as_o he_o propose_v it_o and_o if_o any_o difficulty_n shall_v arise_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v obviate_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o enter_v into_o a_o examination_n of_o the_o particular_n but_o must_v acknowledge_v the_o author_n have_v take_v great_a pain_n and_o show_v great_a judgement_n and_o ingenuity_n in_o fix_v the_o method_n to_o render_v it_o practicable_a and_o i_o be_o sorry_a i_o be_o force_v to_o disagree_v with_o he_o about_o alter_v the_o denomination_n of_o the_o money_n when_o recoined_a i_o must_v also_o declare_v my_o thought_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o restrain_v the_o exportation_n of_o bullion_n or_o indeed_o of_o money_n itself_o to_o any_o certain_a quantity_n but_o to_o let_v it_o be_v entire_o free_a nor_o will_v i_o oblige_v vintner_n ale-house-keeper_n etc._n etc._n to_o bring_v in_o their_o

for_o these_o position_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o material_a now_o before_o i_o conclude_v i_o must_v take_v notice_n of_o one_o or_o two_o thing_n more_o the_o author_n think_v just_o that_o the_o debase_v of_o the_o coin_n that_o be_v the_o add_v a_o great_a alloy_n to_o the_o silver_n be_v dangerous_a and_o dishonourable_a and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o must_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o less_o quantity_n of_o silver_n ordain_v to_o pass_v for_o the_o same_o value_n which_o before_o a_o great_a quantity_n do_v which_o be_v unjust_a to_o those_o who_o have_v money_n owe_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o public_a faith_n and_o therefore_o dishonourable_a and_o by_o consequence_n dangerous_a further_o the_o author_n own_v as_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o only_o the_o security_n
