argument_n sake_n suppose_v there_o be_v a_o balance_n of_o trade_n and_o that_o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v cast_v up_o every_o year_n with_o every_o nation_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o

when_o the_o exchange_n run_v so_o high_a to_o any_o country_n as_o it_o will_v be_v more_o profit_n to_o the_o merchant_n to_o melt_v down_o the_o money_n and_o send_v it_o over_o in_o bullion_n than_o by_o bill_n of_o exchange_n and_o in_o both_o these_o case_n it_o may_v often_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o money_n may_v be_v send_v over_o to_o a_o country_n and_o yet_o no_o debt_n contract_v
