to_o the_o parliament_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o england_n the_o assurance_n i_o have_v that_o all_o your_o honour_n care_n and_o labour_n have_v no_o other_o aim_n than_o the_o remove_v of_o all_o disorder_n the_o relieve_n of_o the_o people_n and_o increase_a more_o and_o more_o the_o happiness_n within_o and_o the_o reputation_n abroad_o of_o this_o commonwealth_n have_v enboldn_v i_o to_o put_v your_o honour_n in_o mind_n that_o the_o coin_n when_o it_o be_v ill_o do_v do_v cause_n many_o great_a disorder_n in_o a_o state_n giving_z way_n to_o the_o counterfeit_n and_o clip_v of_o it_o which_o occasion_v the_o death_n of_o several_a person_n beside_o the_o transport_v of_o the_o heavy_a piece_n out_o of_o the_o land_n to_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o commerce_n and_o the_o great_a loss_n and_o incommodity_n of_o the_o poor_a people_n which_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v take_v into_o consideration_n and_o to_o be_v pity_v for_o the_o remedy_n of_o such_o a_o disorder_n the_o honourable_a council_n of_o state_n have_v prudent_o resolve_v to_o have_v the_o money_n well_o coin_v if_o they_o can_v but_o meet_v with_o a_o excellent_a workman_n to_o have_v the_o conduct_n of_o that_o work_n a_o year_n since_o i_o have_v notice_n of_o it_o whereupon_o i_o send_v hither_o some_o pattern_n of_o coin_n which_o be_v esteem_v and_o approve_a of_o by_o the_o say_v honourable_a council_n of_o state_n which_o occasion_v my_o come_n into_o england_n where_o be_v arrive_v i_o be_v very_o courteous_o entertain_v by_o the_o say_v honourable_a council_n who_o then_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o doctor_n gourdon_n master_n of_o the_o mint_n will_v be_v inclinable_a to_o a_o thing_n so_o much_o conduce_v to_o the_o good_a and_o relief_n of_o the_o people_n but_o it_o fall_v out_o otherwise_o for_o have_v apply_v myself_o several_a time_n unto_o the_o say_a doctor_n he_o tell_v i_o plain_o that_o if_o i_o be_v come_v to_o be_v a_o officer_n of_o the_o mint_n they_o be_v already_o too_o many_o and_o that_o the_o workman_n be_v more_o than_o they_o have_v need_n for_o the_o coin_n of_o their_o money_n which_o they_o will_v do_v so_o well_o that_o the_o state_n wouldbe_a satisfy_v and_o according_o he_o do_v promise_v it_o unto_o the_o state_n a_o while_n after_o the_o say_a workman_n coin_v some_o money_n the_o say_a doctor_n exhort_v they_o to_o do_v it_o well_o and_o indeed_o they_o use_v their_o best_a skill_n yet_o it_o do_v cost_v dear_a unto_o the_o state_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o stamp_v they_o spoil_v and_o be_v so_o ill_o favoured_o do_v that_o it_o displease_v both_o the_o people_n and_o those_o that_o have_v any_o skill_n therein_o the_o honourable_a council_n of_o state_n do_v since_o give_v a_o order_n the_o 3._o of_o february_n last_o that_o the_o coin_n shall_v be_v better_o make_v and_o that_o the_o honourable_a committee_n of_o the_o mint_n shall_v hearken_v unto_o my_o proposition_n which_o be_v by_o a_o new_a invention_n of_o i_o to_o make_v a_o handsome_a coin_n than_o it_o can_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o viz._n that_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v stamp_v on_o both_o flat-side_n but_o shall_v even_o be_v mark_v with_o letter_n upon_o the_o thickness_n of_o the_o brim_n whereby_o the_o counterfeit_n cast_a and_o clip_v of_o the_o coin_n shall_v be_v prevent_v this_o way_n be_v much_o approve_a of_o and_o desire_v by_o all_o know_a curious_a and_o understand_a man_n both_o in_o the_o parliament_n and_o the_o honourable_a council_n of_o state_n and_o even_o by_o most_o man_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o condition_n who_o have_v see_v my_o pattern_n and_o do_v understand_v the_o utility_n profit_n and_o reputation_n this_o commonwealth_n will_v get_v by_o it_o but_o the_o say_a doctor_n and_o the_o workman_n of_o the_o mint_n not_o willing_a to_o understand_v the_o damage_n they_o cause_v unto_o the_o poor_a people_n and_o to_o the_o state_n also_o and_o for_o their_o own_o and_o private_a interest_n have_v so_o cross_v this_o business_n that_o no_o resolution_n have_v be_v yet_o take_v to_o procure_v so_o much_o good_a unto_o the_o state_n and_o the_o public_a the_o say_a doctor_n have_v tell_v i_o himself_o in_o plain_a term_n that_o he_o will_v do_v his_o utmost_a to_o hinder_v my_o proposition_n and_o for_o that_o end_n he_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o irish_a lock_n smith_n one_o david_n rammage_n a_o man_n ill-affected_a to_o the_o present_a government_n who_o have_v be_v servant_n former_o the_o late_a decease_a master_n briot_n for_o who_o he_o forge_v his_o tool_n and_o mark_v his_o brass_n counter_n which_o rammage_n make_v a_o proof_n of_o a_o very_a big_a brass_n piece_n very_o ill_o favoured_o do_v which_o be_v mark_v upon_o the_o thickness_n of_o the_o brim_n after_o the_o old_a way_n which_o be_v very_o tedious_a and_o can_v be_v do_v upon_o the_o thin_a ordinary_a piece_n as_o i_o may_v do_v by_o my_o new_a invention_n further_o to_o hinder_v that_o the_o say_a invention_n of_o i_o shall_v be_v make_v use_n of_o the_o say_a doctor_n have_v give_v out_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o easy_a to_o be_v find_v out_o that_o the_o workman_n of_o the_o mint_n and_o any_o other_o can_v counterfeit_n the_o same_o and_o therefore_o that_o it_o be_v as_o good_a to_o coin_v the_o money_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n as_o it_o be_v coin_v now_o in_o france_n and_o that_o he_o may_v undertake_v it_o he_o cause_v the_o say_v irish_a smith_n to_o be_v associate_v with_o the_o workman_n of_o the_o mint_n say_v he_o will_v do_v it_o as_o well_o and_o cheap_a than_o any_o body_n else_o the_o money_n coin_v that_o way_n can_v be_v cast_v and_o clip_v yet_o the_o honourable_a sir_n james_n harrington_n desire_v to_o know_v their_o price_n he_o do_v bid_v they_o draw_v a_o proposition_n of_o the_o low_a price_n they_o will_v have_v for_o which_o they_o do_v put_v it_o very_o low_a with_o no_o other_o design_n than_o thereby_o to_o discourage_v i_o and_o have_v i_o go_v away_o that_o afterward_o they_o may_v fall_v again_o to_o their_o old_a way_n of_o coin_v as_o former_o to_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o thing_n whether_o my_o invention_n be_v so_o easy_a to_o be_v find_v out_o about_o three_o month_n since_o a_o honourable_a member_n of_o the_o parliament_n send_v my_o proof_n to_o doctor_n gourdon_n that_o he_o may_v find_v it_o out_o or_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v find_v out_o by_o the_o workman_n of_o the_o mint_n or_o any_o other_o and_o to_o know_v what_o price_n they_o will_v have_v to_o coin_n that_o way_n they_o have_v still_o my_o proof_n but_o can_v not_o find_v out_o the_o invention_n nor_o cast_v they_o as_o the_o doctor_n have_v give_v out_o that_o it_o may_v be_v do_v it_o be_v so_o easy_a to_o know_v that_o all_o such_o artifices_fw-la tend_v only_o to_o amuse_v the_o state_n and_o make_v i_o lose_v both_o my_o time_n and_o patience_n but_o i_o hope_v that_o your_o honour_n by_o their_o prudence_n and_o generosity_n will_v prevent_v it_o not_o suffer_v that_o the_o pretend_a interest_n of_o some_o private_a man_n be_v any_o further_a hindrance_n or_o retardment_n to_o the_o public_a good_a or_o the_o glory_n that_o will_v thereby_o general_o happen_v to_o the_o whole_a state_n but_o special_o to_o the_o honourable_a member_n of_o the_o parliament_n i_o say_v the_o pretend_a interest_n of_o some_o private_a man_n because_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v instruct_v the_o workman_n to_o work_v after_o my_o way_n they_o will_v have_v more_o credit_n and_o profit_n then_o by_o any_o other_o way_n of_o coin_v now_o to_o show_v the_o affection_n and_o desire_n i_o have_v to_o serve_v this_o commonwealth_n and_o to_o live_v under_o it_o because_o of_o the_o esteem_n i_o make_v of_o the_o present_a government_n although_o this_o way_n of_o coin_v i_o do_v propound_n be_v more_o difficult_a and_o chargeable_a yet_o i_o do_v offer_v to_o make_v it_o for_o the_o very_a selfsame_a price_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o term_n the_o irish_a smith_n and_o his_o associate_n have_v demand_v to_o coin_n mere_o after_o the_o french_a way_n the_o say_a price_n be_v five_o shilling_n for_o coin_v each_o pound_n of_o gold_n and_o twelve_o penny_n for_o each_o pound_n of_o silver_n the_o state_n do_v furnish_v the_o gold_n and_o silver_n in_o plate_n with_o the_o expense_n and_o maintain_v of_o the_o machines_n tool_n graver_n and_o all_o other_o small_a charge_n necessary_a to_o make_v the_o money_n but_o if_o the_o state_n be_v willing_a that_o i_o shall_v undertake_v to_o maintain_v the_o machines_n utensil_n and_o all_o other_o small_a but_o necessary_a charge_n for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o money_n it_o will_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o less_o chargeable_a to_o the_o state_n yet_o i_o will_v submit_v to_o whatsoever_o your_o honour_n shall_v command_v i_o i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o honour_n to_o take_v into_o your_o serious_a consideration_n that_o i_o have_v be_v these_o nine_o month_n at_o a_o great_a charge_n do_v nothing_o but_o still_o expect_v the_o honour_n of_o your_o command_n if_o any_o man_n do_v call_v to_o doubt_v or_o question_v the_o possibility_n of_o what_o i_o do_v propound_v i_o will_v make_v proof_n of_o it_o without_o any_o charge_n to_o the_o state_n
