shift_n except_o we_o sell_v or_o pawn_v our_o land_n and_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o man_n if_o the_o nation_n have_v not_o be_v better_a able_a this_o seven_o year_n to_o maintain_v the_o war_n with_o france_n without_o melt_v down_o their_o plate_n and_o without_o knowledge_n of_o those_o general_a complaint_n for_o want_n of_o trade_n and_o money_n as_o have_v be_v only_o for_o seven_o month_n last_o pass_v since_o the_o undervalue_a of_o the_o coin_n if_o they_o object_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o misfortune_n be_v the_o money_n be_v not_o be_v all_o coin_a that_o be_v no_o reason_n for_o before_o any_o of_o it_o be_v coin_v there_o be_v little_a silver_n current_n but_o gold_n enough_o without_o complaint_n and_o notwithstanding_o all_o that_o have_v be_v coin_v since_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o money_n as_o be_v before_o therefore_o since_o the_o design_n of_o all_o trade_n be_v the_o procure_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o that_o can_v only_o be_v have_v for_o our_o manufactury_n and_o commodity_n for_o we_o purchase_v not_o gold_n and_o silver_n with_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o the_o undervalue_v of_o we_o will_v not_o make_v other_o country_n to_o undervalue_v they_o for_o than_o they_o lose_v the_o advantage_n of_o draw_v the_o silver_n to_o themselves_o for_o their_o commodity_n nor_o will_v the_o advance_v of_o our_o money_n have_v any_o influence_n on_o they_o to_o advance_v they_o because_o they_o can_v then_o have_v no_o advantage_n by_o trading_n with_o we_o and_o buy_v our_o commodity_n therefore_o it_o matter_n not_o from_o whence_o we_o have_v it_o or_o whether_o we_o go_v to_o the_o east_n or_o west-indies_n to_o fetch_v it_o if_o it_o come_v home_o to_o we_o it_o answer_v our_o end_n and_o they_o have_v only_o our_o labour_n and_o manufacture_n for_o it_o of_o which_o we_o can_v never_o be_v drain_v but_o say_v they_o the_o foreign_a merchant_n will_v under-sell_a you_o with_o your_o own_o commodity_n it_o be_v false_a for_o if_o i_o sell_v a_o dutchman_n a_o piece_n of_o cloth_n for_o so_o much_o gold_n or_o silver_n can_v i_o fell_v a_o spaniard_n or_o portuguese_n as_o much_o for_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o when_o we_o have_v the_o gold_n and_o silver_n we_o may_v make_v our_o own_o market_n for_o our_o commodity_n gentleman_n if_o you_o think_v it_o more_o for_o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o nation_n when_o your_o plate_n be_v melt_v down_o and_o you_o have_v no_o more_o money_n than_o before_o when_o every_o paltry_a alehouse_n can_v show_v more_o

than_o now_o many_o gentleman_n of_o estate_n when_o the_o army_n neither_o abroad_o nor_o at_o home_o be_v pay_v when_o you_o shall_v pay_v 16_o or_o 20_o per_fw-la cent._n to_o dig_v out_o your_o own_o money_n that_o be_v bury_v in_o banco_n and_o more_o than_o that_o to_o raise_v money_n on_o your_o tally_n and_o that_o no_o personal_a security_n how_o good_a soever_o will_v be_v take_v and_o on_o your_o land_n or_o plate_n you_o must_v give_v more_o than_o 10_o per_fw-la cent._n and_o glad_a to_o get_v it_o so_o and_o this_o will_v reduce_v your_o land_n to_o about_o ten_o year_n purchase_v and_o those_o gentleman_n have_v a_o fine_a time_n on_o it_o who_o land_n be_v encumber_v and_o now_o compel_v to_o pay_v the_o money_n for_o if_o there_o be_v but_o half_a the_o money_n to_o circulate_v as_o the_o nation_n require_v that_o double_v the_o interest_n though_o not_o by_o law_n yet_o not_o to_o be_v procure_v without_o it_o and_o you_o can_v have_v but_o half_a your_o former_a value_n for_o your_o land_n and_o nothing_o be_v more_o the_o interest_n of_o land_a man_n than_o to_o multiply_v the_o money_n among_o ourselves_o which_o will_v advance_v their_o land_n to_o 25_o year_n purchase_v and_o more_o proportionable_a to_o the_o lower_a the_o interest_n it_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o public_a news_n that_o the_o state_n of_o holland_n have_v late_o borrow_v

but_o this_o must_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o plenty_n of_o money_n which_o as_o natural_o decrease_v interest_n as_o the_o scarcity_n advance_v it_o if_o you_o can_v believe_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v for_o the_o honour_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n it_o will_v be_v no_o difficult_a matter_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o send_v your_o leather_n to_o france_n and_o wear_v
