house_n to_o mortgage_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v in_o no_o very_a good_a condition_n and_o must_v continue_v to_o pay_v as_o exorbitant_a allowance_n for_o money_n to_o supply_v their_o

this_o be_v a_o objection_n like_o many_o other_o which_z are_z make_v against_o it_o by_o those_o who_o do_v not_o understand_v its_o constitution_n for_o if_o any_o person_n trade_n on_o account_n

of_o engross_a most_o commodity_n themselves_o and_o they_o have_v also_o be_v great_a merchant_n and_o trader_n and_o whereas_o they_o pretend_v that_o the_o bank_n have_v buy_v up_o all_o the_o

than_o be_v do_v by_o a_o goldsmith_n before_o the_o bank_n undertake_v it_o nor_o be_v it_o look_v on_o as_o a_o fault_n in_o the_o goldsmith_n to_o deal_v by_o exchange_n see_v some_o of_o they_o do_v now_o draw_v or_o remit_v money_n almost_o every_o post_n and_o since_o the_o nation_n have_v suffer_v so_o much_o by_o the_o goldsmith_n monopolise_n good_n and_o trade_n with_o other_o man_n

goldsmith_n in_o like_a manner_n shall_v be_v limit_v to_o the_o sell_v plate_n and_o jewel_n which_o be_v their_o ancient_a and_o proper_a trade_n as_o to_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o bank_n set_v a_o price_n upon_o guineas_n and_o have_v engross_v the_o great_a part_n of_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o nation_n it_o be_v answer_v the_o bank_n have_v always_o receive_v and_o pay_v guineas_n at_o a_o penny_n or_o two_o penny_n a_o piece_n at_o least_o under_o the_o price_n which_o the_o goldsmith_n have_v put_v upon_o they_o and_o have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o buy_v up_o any_o that_o they_o have_v only_o receive_v such_o as_o have_v be_v bring_v they_o in_o payment_n and_o have_v constant_o pay_v they_o away_o every_o week_n at_o the_o same_o price_n they_o have_v receive_v they_o so_o that_o if_o they_o make_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o advance_v of_o the_o price_n of_o guineas_n it_o be_v chief_o on_o those_o which_o be_v receive_v at_o the_o take_v the_o subscription_n which_o can_v come_v to_o any_o such_o quantity_n as_o be_v pretend_v and_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n whole_o owe_v to_o some_o or_o all_o of_o these_o cause_n 1._o to_o the_o goldsmith_n who_o have_v raise_v the_o price_n of_o they_o or_o 2._o to_o the_o badness_n of_o our_o silver-coin_n which_o be_v diminish_v every_o day_n or_o 3._o to_o those_o great_a quantity_n which_o have_v be_v export_v into_o foreign_a part_n there_o be_v other_o who_o make_v a_o mighty_a complaint_n against_o the_o bank_n because_o 2_o d._n per_fw-la day_n be_v allow_v on_o bank-bill_n and_o the_o money_n which_o be_v use_v to_o be_v lodge_v in_o their_o hand_n for_o nothing_o and_o make_v use_v of_o by_o themselves_o be_v now_o pay_v into_o the_o bank_n by_o the_o owner_n but_o they_o it_o be_v suppose_v will_v not_o find_v fault_n with_o receive_v 2_o d._n per_fw-la day_n for_o that_o money_n for_o which_o before_o they_o have_v nothing_o and_o so_o one_o may_v be_v set_v against_o tother_o it_o be_v pretend_v the_o allow_a two_o d._n per_fw-la day_n hinder_v some_o from_o purchase_v or_o lend_v money_n on_o mortgage_n and_o make_v other_o who_o be_v trader_n and_o owe_v money_n bad_a paymaster_n but_o it_o may_v well_o be_v suppose_v there_o be_v none_o who_o intend_v to_o purchase_v or_o lend_v money_n on_o mortgage_n who_o will_v leave_v their_o money_n in_o the_o bank_n at_o 3_o per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la a_o when_o they_o can_v have_v a_o purchase_n to_o their_o mind_n or_o a_o good_a security_n at_o 5_o per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la a_o and_o there_o be_v few_o who_o will_v not_o leave_v their_o money_n lie_v dead_a rather_o than_o lay_v it_o out_o on_o the_o purchase_n of_o a_o estate_n they_o do_v not_o like_a or_o lend_v it_o on_o a_o bad_a security_n and_o as_o for_o its_o make_v man_n bad_a paymaster_n they_o must_v consider_v their_o credit_n or_o interest_n but_o little_a who_o will_v delay_v pay_v their_o debt_n for_o the_o get_v the_o 2_o d._n per_fw-la day_n per_fw-la 100_o l._n which_o be_v allow_v on_o bank-bill_n for_o in_o their_o future_a deal_n they_o will_v pay_v a_o much_o dear_a interest_n the_o money_n which_o be_v lodge_v in_o the_o bank_n be_v only_o the_o money_n which_o can_v be_v spare_v and_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v leave_v with_o the_o goldsmith_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o 3_o per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la a_o which_o be_v allow_v on_o bank_n bill_n shall_v do_v all_o this_o mischief_n and_o that_o the_o great_a advantage_n which_o have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o public_a fund_n shall_v never_o be_v make_v a_o objection_n but_o the_o plain_a truth_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v that_o the_o goldsmith_n be_v angry_a at_o the_o bank_n allow_v 2_o d._n a_o day_n per_fw-la cent._n because_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o money_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n the_o fast_o and_o pay_v into_o the_o bank_n for_o bank-bill_n and_o if_o the_o allow_a two_o d._n per_fw-la day_n on_o bank_n bill_n be_v look_v on_o to_o be_v such_o a_o crime_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a the_o concern_v in_o the_o bank_n will_v be_v willing_a in_o time_n to_o remove_v the_o objection_n see_v it_o will_v ease_v they_o of_o the_o charge_n of_o 36000_o l._n per_fw-la a_o which_o the_o interest_n amount_v to_o and_o which_o they_o have_v give_v the_o nation_n out_o of_o their_o fund_z for_o that_o money_n for_o which_o the_o owner_n use_v to_o have_v nothing_o notwithstanding_o all_o these_o objection_n which_o be_v make_v against_o the_o bank_n there_o be_v some_o now_o who_o in_o opposition_n to_o it_o talk_v of_o nothing_o less_o than_o settle_v a_o new_a one_o with_o 4_o d_o a_o day_n per_fw-la cent_n interest_n which_o be_v double_a as_o much_o as_o be_v now_o pay_v by_o the_o bank_n nay_o other_o be_v for_o set_v up_o a_o bank_n in_o every_o city_n or_o in_o every_o market-town_n which_o show_v after_o all_o the_o cavil_n against_o the_o bank_n that_o a_o bank_n be_v good_a for_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o that_o the_o great_a objection_n against_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n be_v that_o they_o who_o find_v fault_n with_o it_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o it_o for_o many_o of_o those_o who_o
