proposal_n humble_o offer_v for_o coin_v new_a money_n dispose_v of_o the_o old_a and_o avoid_v clip_v money_n for_o the_o future_a when_o i_o consider_v what_o base_a money_n go_v now_o throughout_o this_o nation_n for_o currant_n how_o the_o mint_n lie_v unemployed_a and_o howmany_a counterfeit_a coiner_n be_v set_v up_o i_o can_v but_o admire_v that_o no_o expedient_a be_v yet_o find_v out_o for_o redress_v this_o grievance_n which_o the_o long_a it_o run_v the_o hard_a it_o will_v be_v to_o cure_v and_o at_o length_n prove_v of_o fatal_a consequence_n i_o humble_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o way_n like_o set_v the_o mint_n on_o work_n to_o stop_v this_o inundation_n of_o clip_v and_o coin_v by_o make_v of_o milled_a money_n which_o be_v hitherto_o unclipt_a and_o may_v be_v accomplish_v after_o this_o manner_n viz._n i._o the_o fire_n office_n which_o i_o propose_v about_o three_o year_n ago_o will_v be_v a_o good_a fund_z to_o work_v upon_o which_o i_o have_v hereto_o annex_v adapt_a it_o only_o to_o house_n and_o will_v raise_v above_o 1700000_o l._n ii_o if_o a_o act_n be_v make_v to_o prohibit_v the_o use_n of_o plate_n in_o public_a house_n which_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o will_v be_v glad_a of_o and_o the_o plate_n they_o now_o have_v order_v to_o the_o mint_n allow_v they_o 5_o s._n 6_o d._n a_o ounce_n for_o it_o and_o a_o mulct_n or_o fine_a set_v upon_o such_o of_o they_o as_o shall_v presume_v to_o use_v any_o for_o the_o future_a will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o furnish_v the_o mint_n with_o present_a material_n to_o work_v on_o iii_o if_o the_o merchant_n be_v allow_v 5_o s._n 6_o d._n a_o ounce_n for_o his_o bullion_n which_o be_v a_o great_a price_n than_o our_o goldsmith_n at_o home_n or_o any_o nation_n round_o about_o we_o give_v for_o it_o will_v occasion_v the_o bring_v most_o part_n of_o it_o hither_o and_o be_v another_o mean_a to_o raise_v material_n for_o the_o mint_n iv_o if_o the_o coin_n be_v lower_v two_o
