which_o i_o intimate_v once_o more_o to_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o improve_n our_o trade_n i_o shall_v now_o answer_v some_o common_a objection_n the_o most_o usual_a be_v that_o there_o be_v now_o as_o much_o money_n to_o be_v let_v on_o good_a security_n in_o england_n as_o there_o be_v security_n or_o rather_o more_o from_o whence_o some_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o or_o more_o money_n than_o ever_o in_o england_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o only_o prove_v the_o scarcity_n of_o security_n and_o therein_o the_o poverty_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o personal_a security_n for_o money_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n lose_v all_o the_o float_a money_n to_o be_v let_v out_o at_o interest_n be_v thrust_v upon_o land-security_n which_o be_v they_o all_o good_a will_v take_v off_o much_o less_o money_n than_o be_v let_v out_o at_o interest_n when_o both_o land_n and_o personal_n security_n stand_v but_o as_o the_o national_a poverty_n have_v subvert_v personal_a security_n so_o have_v it_o creep_v into_o the_o land_n for_o man_n estate_n be_v already_o so_o entangle_v with_o debt_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o land-security_n in_o twenty_o that_o be_v good_a as_o dear_a experience_n have_v now_o teach_v we_o then_o the_o security_n be_v grow_v so_o scarce_o and_o narrow_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o there_o be_v now_o as_o much_o money_n to_o be_v let_v out_o as_o there_o be_v security_n and_o more_o thus_o if_o a_o man_n have_v 1000_o l._n in_o the_o isle_n of_o shetland_n he_o will_v there_o hardly_o find_v any_o security_n for_o it_o which_o at_o this_o rate_n of_o argue_v will_v prove_v the_o isle_n of_o shetland_n rich_a than_o the_o isle_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o upon_o this_o occasion_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o there_o be_v no_o possible_a way_n for_o restore_v the_o security_n and_o credit_n of_o england_n but_o by_o restore_v its_o riches_n no_o register_n can_v do_v it_o at_o least_o comparable_a to_o the_o other_o we_o may_v register_n our_o common_a poverty_n but_o nothing_o will_v make_v a_o ill_a man_n value_v his_o credit_n or_o able_a to_o satisfy_v for_o a_o cheat_n but_o his_o own_o private_a wealth_n nothing_o can_v make_v a_o man_n who_o be_v honest_o incline_v to_o do_v a_o foul_a thing_n but_o poverty_n and_o necessity_n another_o objection_n partly_o answer_v before_o be_v that_o there_o be_v still_o as_o much_o money_n in_o and_o about_o london_n as_o ever_o from_o whence_o they_o will_v argue_v as_o much_o money_n in_o the_o nation_n as_o before_o i_o

frivolous_a however_o because_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o pother_n make_v about_o the_o money_n in_o london_n i_o shall_v give_v some_o further_a account_n of_o it_o i_o agree_v that_o there_o be_v considerable_a quantity_n of_o money_n always_o lodging_n in_o and_o about_o london_n in_o some_o particular_a hand_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o king_n revenue_n be_v pay_v in_o

and_o keep_v money_n dead_a for_o the_o custom_n this_o be_v also_o the_o great_a port_n for_o foreign_a importation_n and_o the_o country_n retailer_n who_o buy_v they_o there_o and_o vend_fw-mi they_o to_o the_o people_n must_v send_v up_o their_o money_n to_o london_n upon_o which_o and_o the_o like_a occasion_n it_o be_v think_v near_o half_a the_o money_n in_o england_n be_v in_o london_n the_o more_o be_v the_o pity_n it_o be_v much_o better_o for_o the_o nation_n that_o there_o be_v more_o home-manufacture_n with_o foreign_a store_n of_o re-exportable_a good_n and_o a_o less_o
