famous_a and_o learned_a master_n john_n bodine_n make_v answer_n unto_o these_o two_o paradox_n first_o show_v how_o m._n malestroit_n have_v abuse_v himself_o to_o use_v the_o example_n of_o velvet_n to_o prove_v his_o assertion_n for_o he_o prove_v that_o velvet_n be_v yet_o unknown_a in_o france_n during_o the_o reign_n of_o philip_n surname_v the_o fair_a and_o that_o although_o he_o shall_v admit_v the_o example_n of_o velvet_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o consequence_n for_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o so_o dear_a proportionable_o and_o concern_v the_o price_n of_o wine_n and_o corn_n he_o do_v prove_v the_o same_o to_o be_v dear_a 20_o time_n and_o more_o or_o less_o upon_o occasion_n conclude_v that_o those_o example_n be_v also_o unfit_a and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o the_o price_n of_o land_n which_o can_v increase_v or_o diminish_v nor_o be_v alter_v of_o their_o goodness_n if_o they_o be_v manure_v whereupon_o he_o take_v occasion_n to_o show_v the_o fertility_n of_o france_n and_o that_o certain_a dukedom_n earldom_n and_o baronny_n be_v now_o worth_a of_o revenue_n as_o much_o yearly_a as_o they_o be_v sell_v for_o in_o time_n past_a the_o land_n be_v so_o much_o rise_v in_o price_n he_o show_v that_o within_o sixty_o year_n all_o thing_n be_v grow_v dear_a ten_o time_n the_o price_n compare_v it_o to_o any_o money_n in_o france_n and_o so_o set_v down_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o dearth_n which_o be_v 5_o in_o number_n 1_o the_o principal_a &_o almost_o only_a cause_n the_o abundance_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n now_o extant_a in_o the_o kingdom_n more_o than_o in_o time_n past_a 2_o the_o monopoly_n 3_o the_o want_n of_o thing_n cause_v by_o excessive_a trade_n and_o waste_v thereof_o 4_o the_o pleasure_n of_o prince_n that_o advance_v the_o price_n of_o thing_n 5_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o valuation_n of_o money_n concern_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a cause_n he_o say_v that_o the_o enhaunce_n of_o the_o price_n or_o dearth_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o what_o place_n soever_o proceed_v of_o the_o abundance_n of_o that_o which_o give_v price_n and_o estimation_n unto_o thing_n and_o herupon_o do_v allege_v diverse_a example_n plutarch_n and_o pliny_n do_v witness_n that_o paulus_n aemylius_fw-la after_o the_o conquest_n of_o macedon_n against_o the_o persian_n do_v bring_v such_o abundance_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n to_o rome_n that_o the_o people_n be_v free_v of_o all_o impost_n and_o the_o price_n of_o land_n advance_v unto_o two_o three_o part_n in_o a_o moment_n the_o emperor_n augustus_n bring_v such_o great_a riches_n from_o egypt_n that_o the_o price_n of_o usury_n do_v decrease_v and_o the_o land_n become_v much_o dear_a than_o before_o which_o be_v not_o for_o the_o want_n of_o land_n which_o can_v increase_v or_o diminish_v nor_o for_o the_o monopoly_n which_o can_v take_v no_o place_n in_o this_o case_n but_o it_o be_v the_o abundance_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n which_o abate_v the_o estimation_n thereof_o as_o it_o happen_v at_o jerusalem_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o queen_n of_o candace_n and_o in_o the_o west_n indies_n when_o the_o spaniard_n become_v master_n thereof_o by_o which_o reason_n the_o emperor_n tiberius_n be_v much_o mistake_v to_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v behead_v that_o will_v have_v make_v glass_n soft_a and_o malleable_a fear_v that_o gold_n and_o silver_n will_v thereby_o have_v lose_v their_o estimation_n whereas_o the_o abundance_n of_o glass_n which_o be_v make_v almost_o of_o all_o stone_n and_o many_o herb_n will_v have_v diminish_v the_o reputation_n thereof_o as_o it_o fall_v out_o with_o all_o other_o thing_n therefore_o say_v he_o we_o be_v to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o gold_n and_o silver_n in_o time_n past_o three_o hundred_o year_n ago_o as_o there_o be_v now_o which_o may_v easy_o be_v know_v for_o if_o there_o be_v money_n within_o the_o realm_n it_o can_v be_v so_o well_o hide_v but_o that_o prince_n in_o their_o necessity_n and_o occurrence_n will_v find_v the_o same_o whereas_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o king_n john_n in_o his_o great_a necessity_n can_v not_o find_v 60_o thousand_o frank_n let_v it_o be_v crown_n for_o his_o ransom_n but_o do_v remain_v a_o prisoner_n to_o the_o king_n of_o england_n for_o the_o space_n of_o 8_o year_n in_o like_a sort_n the_o king_n of_o scot_n be_v prisoner_n can_v not_o find_v mean_n for_o his_o ransom_n of_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o noble_n until_o the_o french_a king_n charles_n the_o five_o pay_v the_o same_o make_v alliance_n with_o robert_n the_o king_n of_o scot_n anno_fw-la 1371._o king_n saint_n lewis_n be_v in_o the_o like_a predicament_n be_v prisoner_n in_o egypt_n and_o the_o ancient_a history_n do_v record_n that_o for_o want_v of_o silver_n money_n be_v make_v of_o leather_n with_o a_o nail_n of_o silver_n whereby_o appear_v the_o great_a want_n of_o silver_n and_o gold_n in_o france_n in_o those_o day_n whereas_o come_v to_o our_o age_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o king_n do_v find_v in_o paris_n in_o six_o month_n beside_o the_o income_n and_o revenue_n more_o than_o three_o million_o 4_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n which_o after_o 10_o pound_n for_o the_o pound_n starling_n be_v 340_o thousand_o pound_n starling_n herunto_o he_o have_v add_v a_o comparison_n between_o certain_a revenue_n and_o money_n give_v in_o marriage_n with_o prince_n and_o their_o kindred_n in_o those_o day_n with_o the_o like_a do_v by_o prince_n of_o late_a year_n and_o how_o italy_n through_o peace_n and_o mean_n of_o their_o traffic_n have_v draw_v all_o the_o gold_n unto_o they_o the_o treasure_n in_o europe_n be_v general_o increase_v since_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o west_n indies_n for_o it_o be_v incredible_a say_v he_o and_o yet_o true_a that_o since_o the_o year_n 1533_o there_o come_v from_o peru_n more_o than_o one_o hundred_o million_o of_o gold_n and_o twice_o as_o much_o in_o silver_n then_o he_o come_v to_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o wealth_n and_o treasure_n of_o france_n show_v how_o the_o spaniard_n run_v to_o the_o uttermost_a corner_n of_o the_o world_n for_o gold_n silver_n and_o spice_n do_v come_v unto_o they_o for_o their_o corn_n linen_n cloth_n and_o diverse_a other_o commodity_n on_o the_o other_o side_n how_o the_o english_a man_n scot_n the_o people_n of_o norway_n swaden_n and_o denmark_n be_v continual_o dig_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o mine_n even_o to_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o metal_n and_o mineral_n for_o to_o buy_v their_o wine_n prune_n and_o other_o commodity_n and_o most_o especial_o their_o manna_n of_o salt_n which_o god_n send_v as_o it_o be_v from_o heaven_n their_o climate_n be_v more_o apt_a thereunto_o then_o that_o of_o other_o country_n which_o cause_v the_o fleming_n to_o come_v with_o their_o empty_a vessel_n to_o buy_v the_o same_o for_o ready_a money_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o traffic_n of_o saltfish_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n the_o second_o be_v the_o increase_n of_o people_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n which_o cease_v between_o the_o house_n of_o orleans_n &_o burgundy_n be_v much_o augment_v until_o the_o trouble_n for_o religion_n whereas_o the_o war_n of_o neighbour_n country_n be_v but_o a_o necessary_a purgation_n of_o the_o ill_a humour_n of_o the_o body_n of_o their_o commonwealth_n and_o the_o war_n at_o home_n have_v before_o that_o time_n waste_v the_o country_n overthrow_v husbandry_n and_o

without_o any_o labourer_n or_o any_o other_o workman_n but_o only_o frenchmen_n which_o be_v more_o serviceable_a and_o active_a another_o cause_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o france_n be_v the_o trade_n
