hereupon_o let_v we_o note_v that_o proper_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o realm_n can_v decrease_v but_o three_o manner_n of_o way_n which_o be_v by_o the_o transportation_n of_o ready_a money_n or_o

we_o can_v hardly_o make_v this_o inequality_n appear_v in_o the_o application_n thereof_o to_o every_o member_n of_o our_o commonweal_n albeit_o we_o do_v find_v the_o want_n of_o treasure_n and_o

money_n or_o thing_n mony-worth_n in_o value_n on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o find_v out_o this_o inequality_n aristotle_n say_v that_o riches_n be_v either_o natural_a or_o artificial_a the_o natural_a riches_n as_o land_n vine_n forest_n meadow_n and_o such_o like_a the_o artificial_a as_o money_n gold_n silver_n woole_n cloth_n and_o all_o other_o movable_n and_o household_n stuff_n now_o as_o this_o artificial_a riches_n be_v proceed_v of_o the_o natural_a riches_n and_o that_o both_o these_o do_v receive_v their_o price_n and_o estimation_n by_o money_n which_o be_v the_o

of_o commodity_n proceed_v of_o the_o same_o hereupon_o let_v we_o note_v further_o that_o all_o the_o trade_n and_o traffic_v of_o the_o realm_n be_v perform_v under_o three_o simple_n namely_o

that_o interchangeable_o one_o commonweal_n shall_v live_v with_o another_o first_o we_o find_v that_o when_o commodity_n begin_v much_o to_o abound_v in_o the_o world_n all_o manner_n of_o mettle_n
