but_o to_o return_v you_o nine_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n more_o beside_o your_o principal_n and_o question_v not_o but_o to_o make_v you_o master_n of_o nine_o part_n in_o ten_o of_o whatever_o

that_o it_o shall_v be_v thus_o lay_v in_o the_o court_n of_o france_n for_o unless_o he_o know_v what_o be_v do_v and_o act_v here_o he_o must_v be_v a_o strange_a sort_n of_o fortune-teller_n that_o

next_o doubt_n and_o the_o great_a of_o my_o fear_n be_v that_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n will_v not_o vote_n the_o coinage_n of_o their_o money_n of_o the_o same_o fineness_n and_o weight_n and_o value_v it_o as_o it_o be_v before_o because_o they_o very_o well_o know_v it_o have_v be_v late_o melt_v down_o and_o therefore_o must_v conclude_v it_o will_v be_v so_o serve_v again_o especial_o in_o these_o time_n when_o all_o europe_n have_v such_o occasion_n for_o silver_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o in_o all_o part_n of_o europe_n except_o holland_n portugal_n spain_n and_o italy_n it_o be_v worth_a 20_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o now_o than_o the_o price_n the_o english_a former_o value_v it_o at_o so_o that_o if_o they_o consider_v the_o affair_n and_o state_n of_o europe_n they_o must_v needs_o know_v and_o understand_v there_o be_v a_o great_a alteration_n and_o a_o vast_a difference_n to_o what_o there_o be_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n among_o all_o nation_n so_o that_o how_o the_o people_n or_o parliament_n shall_v be_v of_o that_o opinion_n and_o take_v that_o method_n in_o their_o new_a coinage_n seem_v to_o i_o a_o doubt_v they_o will_v not_o vote_n it_o as_o aforesaid_a three_o minister_n we_o hope_v there_o will_v be_v no_o occasion_n for_o your_o majesty_n to_o doubt_v it_o have_v take_v much_o care_n and_o use_v all_o the_o endeavour_n that_o possible_o may_v be_v to_o impose_v upon_o they_o and_o the_o people_n of_o england_n that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o coin_n their_o new_a money_n of_o the_o same_o weight_n value_n and_o
