A48745	A preservative for our money; or A way proposed, whereby some money may be kept in England which otherwise will all be gone or How we may carry on the war against France with vigour, and with much better effect than hitherto, and yet keep our money.

i_o have_v say_v elsewhere_o the_o great_a and_o swift_a conqueror_n in_o all_o age_n never_o lay_v pelt_a at_o frontier_n garrison_n but_o break_v into_o the_o country_n we_o shall_v never_o see_v a_o good_a conclusion_n of_o this_o war_n till_o the_o war_n be_v carry_v into_o france_n and_o since_o that_o can_v be_v do_v by_o land_n we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o sea_n which_o be_v the_o end_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o design_n here_o propose_v some_o loose_a thing_n be_v here_o add_v relate_v to_o the_o discourse_n above-written_a 1._o no_o great_a number_n of_o horse_n be_v require_v for_o this_o service_n for_o they_o be_v not_o useful_a either_o in_o land_v or_o fortify_v which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v it_o seem_v therefore_o sufficient_a that_o a_o thousand_o or_o two_o of_o they_o be_v embark_v at_o first_o and_o about_o twice_o as_o many_o lie_v ready_a in_o england_n till_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o they_o that_o be_v till_o some_o garrison_n be_v settle_v to_o which_o they_o may_v go_v for_o to_o have_v they_o all_o on_o shipboard_n while_o the_o fleet_n and_o army_n be_v upon_o wing_n and_o may_v be_v ply_v to_o and_o again_o for_o several_a day_n will_v be_v too_o chargeable_a and_o cumbersome_a 2._o it_o be_v no_o way_n necessary_a that_o the_o place_n we_o fortify_v shall_v be_v good_a port_n the_o french_a have_v few_o such_o upon_o this_o coast_n and_o for_o these_o place_n it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o they_o be_v relievable_a by_o sea_n and_o can_v receive_v and_o secure_v small_a vessel_n for_o the_o business_n of_o these_o garrison_n be_v that_o we_o may_v harrass_n and_o torment_v the_o french_a from_o these_o garrison_n perhaps_o another_o year_n when_o the_o french_a be_v weaken_a and_o humble_v we_o may_v think_v of_o attacking_z their_o best_a port_n and_o of_o a_o voyage_n royal._n but_o at_o present_a we_o shall_v attempt_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o can_v do_v for_o what_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o can_v do_v will_v sufficient_o ruin_v the_o french_a king_n it_o will_v cost_v we_o some_o labour_n but_o we_o shall_v run_v no_o hazard_n 3._o a_o voyage_n royal_a or_o a_o main_a invasion_n will_v not_o be_v of_o that_o advantage_n as_o the_o desultory_a sea_n war_n here_o propose_v in_o that_o way_n we_o may_v perhaps_o do_v something_o if_o our_o force_n be_v throughout_o superior_a and_o we_o clear_o and_o for_o continuance_n master_n of_o the_o field_n but_o in_o the_o other_o way_n we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v something_o and_o to_o gain_v our_o point_n though_o the_o enemy_n force_v shall_v be_v much_o superior_a to_o we_o by_o the_o first_o way_n we_o shall_v only_o divide_v the_o enemy_n force_v by_o divide_v our_o own_o without_o any_o further_a advantage_n 4._o forty_o thousand_o of_o our_o man_n on_o shipboard_n will_v do_v more_o service_n to_o flanders_n by_o the_o diversion_n they_o make_v than_o a_o much_o great_a number_n keep_v there_o and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o great_a benefit_n the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n receive_v by_o our_o fleet_n with_o a_o few_o land-man_n aboard_o hover_v about_o provence_n last_o summer_n it_o draw_v so_o many_o french_a to_o guard_v that_o coast_n that_o the_o duke_n take_v casal_n the_o while_n without_o interruption_n 5._o that_o brave-spirited_n prince_n deserve_v our_o high_a regard_v and_o the_o assistance_n we_o have_v give_v he_o may_v seem_v well_o bestow_v but_o we_o can_v send_v more_o money_n to_o piedmont_n whence_o it_o will_v never_o return_v it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o to_o expend_v twice_o or_o thrice_o as_o much_o in_o our_o own_o sea_n for_o that_o money_n will_v return_v or_o rather_o will_v never_o go_v from_o we_o and_o this_o powerful_a revulsive_a will_v be_v feel_v in_o piedmont_n to_o its_o great_a ease_n and_o benefit_n but_o let_v it_o be_v as_o it_o will_v we_o must_v send_v away_o no_o more_o money_n 6._o our_o silver_n coin_n thar_z be_v leave_v as_o mr._n lowndes_n compute_v it_o may_v be_v about_o five_o million_o and_o a_o half_a but_o some_o think_v it_o can_v be_v near_o so_o much_o whereof_o four_o million_o be_v clip_v half_a way_n be_v in_o effect_n but_o two_o million_o and_o so_o three_o million_o and_o a_o half_a be_v the_o sum_n effective_a what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o if_o a_o full_a moiety_n of_o this_o money_n be_v carry_v to_o piedmont_n and_o flanders_n this_o very_o next_o year_n for_o the_o grow_a expense_n beside_o great_a debt_n that_o must_v be_v satisfy_v and_o either_o the_o payment_n must_v be_v there_o make_v by_o money_n in_o specie_fw-la or_o they_o must_v be_v make_v by_o bill_n with_o most_o grievous_a loss_n the_o exchange_n be_v so_o high_a against_o we_o so_o that_o it_o be_v better_o our_o money_n go_v at_o once_o and_o merchant_n know_v that_o foreign_a payment_n whether_o make_v by_o bill_n or_o in_o specie_fw-la be_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n and_o carry_v money_n alike_o out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n 7._o this_o height_n of_o the_o exchange_n against_o we_o occasion_v by_o our_o great_a payment_n abroad_o be_v a_o infinite_a disadvantage_n to_o our_o merchant_n and_o will_v continue_v as_o long_o as_o those_o payment_n do_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o trade_n and_o consequent_o of_o our_o nation_n as_o for_o our_o clip_v money_n that_o have_v no_o effect_n upon_o the_o exchange_n till_o guineas_n do_v rise_v which_o be_v less_o than_o a_o year_n since_o and_o when_o our_o coin_n be_v reform_v that_o effect_n will_v cease_v but_o our_o foreign_a payment_n be_v the_o more_o durable_a and_o substantial_a cause_n it_o be_v these_o payment_n that_o make_v silver_n more_o valuable_a and_o better_o and_o dear_a in_o other_o part_n than_o it_o be_v in_o england_n we_o can_v have_v weight_n for_o weight_n nor_o receive_v so_o many_o ounce_n there_o as_o we_o pay_v here_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o our_o money_n never_o fly_v from_o we_o but_o when_o silver_n be_v more_o valuable_a in_o other_o place_n than_o in_o england_n now_o silver_n as_o all_o other_o commodity_n be_v there_o most_o valuable_a and_o dear_a where_o it_o be_v most_o in_o demand_n and_o it_o be_v most_o in_o demand_n where_o there_o be_v great_a occasion_n for_o it_o and_o the_o most_o and_o great_a payment_n to_o be_v make_v they_o therefore_o that_o be_v to_o make_v these_o payment_n must_v buy_v the_o convenience_n of_o have_v money_n there_o for_o that_o use_v and_o the_o exchange_n will_v run_v high_a against_o they_o which_o be_v our_o present_a case_n 8._o i_o have_v omit_v one_o advantage_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v in_o our_o descent_n upon_o france_n and_o that_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o want_v man_n for_o this_o service_n man_n will_v be_v as_o forward_o and_o willing_a to_o go_v for_o france_n provide_v they_o have_v good_a english_a officer_n as_o now_o they_o be_v backward_o and_o unwilling_a to_o go_v into_o flanders_n the_o service_n in_o flanders_n have_v get_v a_o very_a ill_a name_n among_o our_o common_a men._n 9_o i_o have_v also_o omit_v one_o leak_n of_o our_o money_n which_o be_v to_o be_v well_o consider_v we_o keep_v a_o army_n in_o england_n at_o a_o great_a expense_n and_o most_o of_o this_o army_n be_v foreigner_n who_o live_v very_o close_o and_o spend_v little_a lay_v up_o a_o good_a part_n of_o their_o pay_n it_o deserve_v a_o enquiry_n whether_o it_o be_v true_a that_o be_v say_v of_o they_o that_o they_o be_v continual_o even_o the_o common_a soldier_n and_o much_o more_o the_o officer_n send_v their_o money_n which_o they_o thus_o save_v to_o their_o own_o country_n if_o it_o be_v so_o though_o the_o particular_a sum_n be_v not_o very_o great_a yet_o there_o be_v many_o thousand_o of_o they_o it_o may_v amount_v to_o a_o large_a sum_n in_o the_o whole_a and_o it_o may_v prove_v as_o bad_a to_o keep_v foreigner_n in_o england_n as_o to_o maintain_v a_o english_a army_n in_o foreign_a part_n some_o think_v it_o no_o way_n necessary_a to_o have_v a_o foreign_a army_n in_o england_n for_o the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v so_o firm_o knit_v to_o his_o majesty_n both_o by_o interest_n and_o affection_n that_o there_o be_v little_a need_n of_o foreigner_n to_o force_v we_o to_o obedience_n aristotle_n be_v too_o severe_a when_o he_o say_v in_o his_o politic_n lib._n 5._o cap._n 10._o that_o foreign_a guard_n be_v tyrannical_a for_o just_a and_o good_a prince_n may_v have_v they_o but_o some_o think_v that_o in_o england_n under_o another_o king_n foreign_a guard_n and_o a_o foreign_a army_n may_v be_v of_o dreadful_a danger_n to_o our_o liberty_n though_o under_o his_o majesty_n now_o regnant_a who_o have_v be_v our_o redeemer_n and_o be_v still_o our_o
