A44077	The groans of the poor, the misery of traders, and the calamity of the publick for the spoiling of our money, for the want of our money, and for the loss that will befal the King and the nation, if there be not as much money coined in the room of it, to pay our taxes, drive our trades, pay our rents, and the the poor to buy bread : and an humble proposal to raise four millions of money for His Majesty's and the nation's use / humbly proposed by a faithful servant to His Majesty and the nation, William Hodges.	Hodges, William, Sir, 1645?-1714.	1696 (1696)	Wing H2328; ESTC R36001	23,173	37

tenant_n and_o for_o merchant_n as_o well_o as_o tradesman_n and_o other_o but_o now_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v the_o coin_n of_o money_n one_o eight_o part_n less_o than_o our_o milled_a money_n

as_o before_o let_v they_o know_v it_o be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a for_o time_n present_a and_o for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v and_o if_o they_o will_v be_v so_o free_a to_o we_o for_o 30_o year_n to_o bring_v we_o so_o much_o good_a money_n as_o they_o have_v get_v from_o we_o then_o let_v they_o complain_v but_o they_o neither_o be_v able_a nor_o willing_a to_o restore_v our_o money_n to_o

a_o prejudice_n to_o their_o majesty_n affair_n abroad_o now_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v such_o a_o argument_n will_v be_v no_o real_a objection_n against_o this_o coinage_n for_o first_o i_o do_v not_o hear_v there_o have_v be_v above_o six_o or_o seven_o day_n work_v in_o coin_v this_o several_a month_n and_o be_v we_o not_o better_o go_v to_o work_v constant_o to_o coin_n for_o the_o use_n

of_o send_v mill_v money_n to_o pay_v those_o force_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o dreadful_a havoc_n of_o the_o milled_a money_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n if_o thirty_o year_n

suppose_v his_o majesty_n can_v pay_v his_o force_n by_o bill_n of_o exchange_n for_o foreign_a money_n as_o i_o do_v presume_v he_o have_v do_v oftentimes_o before_o and_o so_o that_o objection_n
