very_o dishonourable_a to_o the_o state_n to_o allow_v so_o great_a a_o evil_a these_o thing_n then_o be_v so_o clear_a do_v it_o not_o visible_o appear_v that_o these_o intrinsical_a petitionary_a pretender_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n good_a do_v only_o intend_v themselves_o they_o will_v very_o fain_o cure_v a_o wound_n in_o the_o thigh_n or_o leg_n and_o make_v a_o mortal_a wound_n in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o state_n and_o commonwealth_n it_o be_v a_o great_a courtesy_n from_o which_o good_a lord_n paeserve_v we_o i_o wonder_v they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a at_o their_o own_o understanding_n except_o they_o can_v draw_v some_o reasonable_a argument_n in_o defence_n of_o themselves_o which_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o can_v oh_o yes_o one_o boast_n of_o powerful_a friend_n another_o of_o his_o great_a service_n he_o have_v do_v and_o that_o the_o state_n owe_v he_o four_o or_o five_o thousand_o pound_n methinks_v these_o be_v but_o weak_a prop_n for_o can_v any_o reasonable_a man_n think_v that_o his_o highness_n and_o the_o council_n who_o have_v hazard_v their_o life_n and_o fortune_n and_o all_o that_o be_v pretion_n to_o their_o honour_n to_o regulate_v all_o abuse_n and_o

to_o have_v the_o make_n of_o farthing_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o a_o near_a relation_n or_o otherwise_o it_o be_v so_o pernicious_a and_o destructive_a as_o it_o clear_o appear_v no_o no_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o that_o god_n that_o have_v make_v they_o honourable_a will_v doubtless_o clothe_v they_o with_o integrity_n which_o will_v balance_v a_o just_a and_o innocent_a cause_n against_o all_o powerful_a opposer_n but_o stay_v a_o little_a i_o have_v like_a to_o have_v forget_v the_o gentleman_n that_o present_v the_o white_a artify_v metal_n sir_n i_o pray_v you_o pardon_v i_o i_o

make_v up_o by_o art_n and_o it_o be_v such_o a_o metal_n as_o the_o earth_n itself_o can_v afford_v in_o nature_n neither_o be_v it_o ever_o calendare_v in_o any_o chronicle_n or_o history_n that_o such_o a_o metal_n be_v ever_o make_v before_o give_v i_o leave_v first_o to_o tell_v you_o the_o property_n of_o it_o 1._o it_o bear_v in_o it_o two_o colour_n the_o one_o a_o pale_a face_a red_a embody_a with_o azure_a throughour_n '_o so_o that_o it_o be_v different_a from_o all_o sort_n of_o metal_n in_o colour_n 2._o it_o be_v hard_a and_o beautiful_a like_o silver_n in_o its_o own_o kind_a 3._o it_o be_v in_o colour_n as_o durable_a as_o silver_n 4._o it_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o counterfeit_v silver_n than_o the_o same_o metal_n which_o last_o well_o weigh_v will_v take_v off_o the_o fear_n of_o counterfeit_a farthing_n because_o i_o conceive_v no_o man_n will_v counterfeit_v farthing_n that_o can_v counterfeit_v silver_n with_o more_o ease_n provide_v the_o state_n make_v a_o penal_a order_n against_o it_o as_o in_o like_a case_n it_o be_v for_o silver_n and_o gold_n the_o property_n thus_o open_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o show_v the_o inconvenience_n that_o will_v if_o

commonwealth_n and_o general_o good_a to_o all_o people_n 1._o i_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v no_o monopoly_n and_o that_o in_o a_o threefold_a consideration_n 1._o consider_v it_o in_o its_o essentiallity_n 2_o in_o its_o materiallity_n 3._o in_o its_o adjunct_n 1._o consider_v it_o in_o its_o essentiallity_n it_o be_v shapeless_a and_o immaterial_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v no_o monopoly_n 2._o consider_v it_o in_o its_o materiallity_n and_o it_o be_v a_o new_a invention_n which_o differ_v from_o all_o sort_n of_o metal_n and_o it_o can_v profit_v or_o disprofit_v any_o man_n to_o have_v it_o or_o to_o be_v without_o it_o as_o it_o be_v simple_o material_a it_o be_v not_o common_a but_o a_o new_a invention_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o regard_n good_a for_o nothing_o but_o farthing_n and_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v common_a as_o copper_n and_o brass_n be_v it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o several_a thing_n but_o than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v good_a for_o farthing_n because_o it_o will_v be_v a_o metal_n make_v up_o to_o all_o man_n hand_n that_o will_v counterfeit_v the_o commonwealth_n coin_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v no_o monopoly_n in_o regard_n of_o its_o materiallity_n neither_o be_v it_o ever_o know_v that_o any_o new_a invention_n can_v be_v a_o monopoly_n last_o consider_v it_o in_o its_o adjunct_n it_o will_v be_v honourable_a to_o the_o state_n profitable_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n harmless_a innocent_a &_o general_o good_a to_o all_o 1._o it_o will_v be_v honourable_a because_o that_o if_o his_o highness_n &_o the_o council_n please_v to_o allow_v it_o for_o farthing_n it_o will_v set_v foath_a to_o the_o world_n how_o willing_a his_o highness_n and_o their_o honour_n be_v not_o only_o to_o preserve_v good_a law_n but_o to_o confirm_v

as_o namely_o to_o cherish_v art_n especial_o when_o these_o art_n conduce_v to_o the_o state_n honour_n and_o the_o public_a good_a therefore_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v find_v the_o like_a favour_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n second_o it_o will_v be_v honourable_a because_o it_o will_v be_v profitable_a as_o appear_v before_o it_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o a_o state_n to_o

will_v ease_v impositson_n of_o tax_n which_o otherwise_o it_o will_v fall_v more_o heavy_a on_o every_o man_n so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a this_o be_v harmless_a innocent_a hurtful_a to_o none_o but_o general_o good_a to_o all_o high_a and_o low_a rich_a and_o poor_a then_o if_o a_o monopoly_n be_v general_o cvil_a and_o this_o general_o good_a this_o can_v be_v no_o monopoly_n i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v but_o i_o pray_v the_o eternal_a god_n the_o mighty_a lord_n the_o great_a counsellor_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o infuse_v such_o wisdom_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o
