intrinsic_a worth_n of_o every_o piece_n and_o tell_v man_n that_o they_o there_o receive_v so_o much_o silver_n and_o of_o such_o a_o fineness_n and_o that_o that_o image_n warrant_v it_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o have_v be_v always_o high_o penal_a to_o counterfeit_n the_o public_a stamp_n and_o to_o coin_v money_n though_o of_o equal_a weight_n and_o goodness_n with_o the_o king_n be_v not_o that_o any_o great_a evil_n be_v hereby_o do_v to_o any_o man_n but_o that_o if_o this_o be_v indulge_v to_o private_a people_n the_o world_n will_v fall_v again_o into_o distrust_n and_o fear_n into_o suspicion_n and_o uncertainty_n about_o their_o money_n and_o return_v anew_o to_o weigh_v and_o try_v all_o they_o take_v this_o be_v the_o short_a account_n and_o history_n of_o money_n necessity_n which_o grow_v continual_o and_o will_v do_v so_o to_o the_o world_n end_n first_o introduce_v the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o it_o can_v not_o be_v useful_a but_o by_o be_v the_o common_a

and_o appoint_v to_o see_v that_o the_o commonwealth_n receive_v no_o damage_n ii_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o see_v the_o mischief_n of_o corrupt_v and_o debase_v money_n the_o coin_v bad_a metal_n and_o the_o clip_v and_o steal_v from_o good_a the_o coin_v even_o of_o good_a metal_n and_o full_a weight_n be_v we_o have_v see_v above_o of_o ill_a example_n and_o of_o ill_a

man_n have_v in_o the_o prince_n faithful_a and_o honest_a deal_n with_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o again_o to_o a_o state_n of_o jealousy_n and_o caution_n each_o of_o one_o another_o but_o to_o

there_o be_v want_v of_o the_o usual_a weight_n and_o fineness_n in_o each_o single_a piece_n suppose_v for_o instance_n man_n shall_v mix_v one_o three_o of_o base_a metal_n with_o their_o silver_n and_o put_v it_o off_o for_o good_a and_o true_a and_o such_o as_o it_o pretend_v to_o be_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o every_o one_o receive_v such_o a_o piece_n will_v be_v impose_v upon_o and_o

thirty_o the_o case_n indeed_o be_v not_o so_o well_o as_o i_o put_v it_o for_o they_o who_o coin_v false_a money_n give_v we_o neither_o a_o five_o nor_o six_o part_n of_o good_a silver_n and_o all_o that_o be_v want_v be_v so_o much_o cheat_n and_o real_a injury_n so_o that_o that_o impudent_a demand_n of_o who_o be_v hereby_o wrong_v can_v find_v no_o place_n for_o every_o one_o be_v wrong_v that_o take_v this_o money_n and_o every_o one_o be_v actual_o a_o loser_n more_o or_o less_o by_o reason_n it_o quick_o stop_v and_o be_v not_o currant_n here_o every_o body_n see_v and_o feel_v the_o injury_n and_o if_o it_o fall_v upon_o the_o poor_a and_o labour_a man_n he_o lose_v it_o may_v be_v his_o day_n be_v work_n and_o the_o family_n its_o subsistence_n and_o provision_n but_o i_o put_v the_o case_n so_o fair_a that_o i_o may_v not_o multiply_v particular_n but_o join_v the_o clip_v of_o good_a money_n with_o the_o coin_n of_o bad_a and_o mix_v base_a metal_n with_o silver_n for_o if_o half_a a_o crown_n be_v clip_v to_o twenty_o penny_n it_o be_v equal_a to_o half_a a_o crown_n not_o clip_v that_o have_v but_o twenty_o penny_n of_o silver_n in_o it_o and_o the_o injury_n to_o private_a people_n be_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o i_o consider_v they_o as_o one_o and_o the_o same_o offence_n in_o that_o they_o both_o alike_o defraud_v the_o receiver_n of_o what_o be_v his_o due_n for_o there_o the_o injustice_n lie_v that_o be_v the_o sin_n at_o the_o bottom_n there_o be_v so_o much_o steal_v from_o every_o man_n as_o there_o be_v less_o give_v he_o than_o he_o shall_v receive_v and_o this_o administer_v occasion_n to_o people_n either_o stranger_n or_o native_n to_o cheat_v we_o even_o with_o true_a silver_n for_o they_o may_v secret_o coin_v we_o as_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o true_a silver_n but_o not_o of_o full_a weight_n and_o put_v it_o off_o under_o the_o shelter_n of_o clip_v money_n do_v gain_v thereby_o at_o least_o one_o three_o now_o no_o one_o gain_v but_o what_o another_o lose_v in_o such_o bargain_n by_o this_o the_o foreigner_n that_o be_v but_o dextrous_a and_o will_v venture_v have_v opportunity_n of_o purchase_v what_o commodity_n they_o please_v and_o pay_v we_o with_o little_a money_n for_o which_o they_o must_v otherwise_o be_v there_o no_o money_n clip_v give_v we_o good_a silver_n and_o full_a weight_n either_o of_o they_o or_o our_o own_o coin_n thus_o clip_v lay_v we_o open_a to_o the_o cheat_n and_o injury_n of_o all_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o of_o our_o own_o people_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o stranger_n do_v but_o that_o they_o may_v improve_v the_o villainy_n and_o injustice_n of_o our_o own_o clipper_n to_o their_o own_o advantage_n and_o to_o our_o far_a mischief_n and_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n if_o they_o do_v not_o for_o it_o be_v not_o very_o likely_a that_o one_o nation_n shall_v raise_v the_o value_n of_o its_o money_n above_o its_o true_a intrinsic_a worth_n which_o be_v indeed_o its_o weight_n and_o fineness_n but_o that_o its_o neighbour_n will_v have_v some_o advantage_n by_o it_o by_o import_v money_n of_o the_o like_a weight_n with_o that_o which_o go_v currant_n now_o the_o pass_v of_o money_n clip_v for_o money_n of_o just_a weight_n be_v in_o effect_n and_o truth_n raise_v our_o money_n and_o make_v that_o to_o go_v for_o thirty_o penny_n which_o be_v indeed_o but_o worth_n twenty_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v at_o least_o some_o hazard_n of_o foreigner_n coin_v and_o import_v money_n of_o equal_a weight_n and_o fineness_n with_o our_o own_o which_o can_v possible_o be_v do_v without_o our_o great_a prejudice_n now_o this_o can_v never_o come_v to_o pass_v without_o our_o clip_v for_o that_o alone_o it_o be_v that_o give_v they_o opportunity_n that_o be_v the_o handle_n they_o may_v take_v their_o hold_n of_o and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o see_v money_n of_o this_o kind_n pass_v common_o about_o it_o be_v no_o argument_n that_o there_o be_v none_o import_v from_o abroad_o nor_o coin_v at_o home_n for_o a_o little_a art_n be_v sufficient_a they_o say_v to_o cover_v that_o deceit_n and_o make_v it_o pass_v for_o old_a well_o but_o the_o money_n pass_v still_o for_o good_a and_o currant_n coin_n and_o where_o be_v then_o the_o mischief_n a_o little_a shilling_n buy_v as_o much_o as_o a_o great_a one_o and_o the_o name_n and_o character_n of_o piece_n be_v as_o good_a a_o standard_n and_o measure_n of_o the_o price_n and_o worth_n of_o all_o thing_n else_o as_o if_o they_o be_v full_a weight_n and_o answer_v to_o their_o name_n and_o character_n and_o therefore_o where_o be_v the_o offence_n and_o injury_n who_o be_v hereby_o wrong_v this_o indeed_o be_v the_o last_o resort_n of_o all_o the_o patron_n of_o this_o practice_n the_o refuge_n to_o which_o the_o guilty_a fly_v themselves_o and_o the_o consideration_n that_o stir_v the_o people_n pity_n at_o their_o suffering_n they_o think_v that_o hereby_o none_o be_v injure_v but_o this_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o every_o one_o be_v injure_v more_o or_o less_o by_o clip_v the_o merchant_n that_o export_v more_o good_n from_o
