afford_v i_o matter_n enough_o to_o make_v a_o large_a volume_n but_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o do_v it_o as_o brief_o as_o possible_o i_o may_v without_o obscurity_n and_o before_o i_o begin_v i_o can_v choose_v but_o laugh_v to_o think_v how_o a_o worthy_a lawyer_n may_v be_v deject_v in_o his_o laudable_a study_n when_o he_o shall_v see_v more_o cunning_a in_o lex_fw-la mercatoria_fw-la by_o a_o little_a part_n of_o the_o merchant_n profession_n then_o in_o all_o the_o lawcase_n of_o his_o learned_a author_n for_o this_o exchange_n go_v beyond_o conjure_v i_o think_v very_o that_o neither_o doctor_n faustus_n nor_o banks_n his_o horse_n can_v ever_o do_v such_o admirable_a feat_n although_o it_o be_v sure_a they_o have_v a_o devil_n to_o help_v they_o but_o we_o merchant_n deal_v not_o with_o such_o spirit_n we_o delight_v not_o to_o be_v think_v the_o worker_n of_o lie_a wonder_n and_o therefore_o i_o endeavour_v here_o to_o show_v the_o plainness_n of_o our_o deal_n in_o these_o suppose_a feat_n to_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o laudable_a course_n of_o trade_n and_o first_o to_o lay_v our_o money_n with_o gain_n to_o any_o place_n of_o the_o world_n where_o exchange_n lie_v how_o can_v this_o be_v do_v will_n some_o man_n say_v for_o amsterdam_n when_o the_o loss_n by_o exchange_n be_v sometime_o eight_o or_o ten_o per_fw-la cent_n more_fw-it or_o less_o for_o one_o month_n usance_n the_o answer_n be_v that_o here_o i_o must_v consider_v first_o that_o the_o principal_a efficient_a exchange_n cause_n of_o this_o loss_n be_v a_o great_a value_n in_o ware_n bring_v from_o amsterdam_n than_o we_o carry_v thither_o which_o make_v more_o deliverer_n than_o taker_n here_o by_o exchange_n whereby_o the_o money_n be_v undervalue_v to_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o taker_n hereupon_o the_o deliverer_n rather_o than_o he_o will_v lose_v by_o his_o money_n do_v consider_v those_o country_n unto_o which_o we_o carry_v more_o ware_n in_o value_n than_o we_o receive_v from_o they_o as_o namely_o spain_n italy_n and_o other_o to_o which_o place_n he_o be_v sure_a for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a that_o he_o shall_v ever_o deliver_v his_o money_n with_o profit_n but_o now_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o money_n be_v further_a from_o amsterdam_n than_o before_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v get_v together_o yes_o well_o enough_o and_o the_o far_o about_o will_v prove_v the_o near_a way_n home_o if_o it_o come_v at_o last_o with_o good_a profit_n the_o first_o part_n whereof_o be_v make_v as_o we_o have_v suppose_v in_o spain_n from_o thence_o i_o consider_v where_o to_o make_v my_o second_o gain_n and_o find_v that_o the_o florentine_n send_v out_o a_o great_a value_n in_o cloth_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n wrought_v silk_n and_o rash_n to_o spain_n than_o they_o receive_v in_o fleece_n wool_n west-india_n hide_v sugar_n and_o cochineal_n i_o know_v i_o can_v miss_v of_o my_o purpose_n by_o deliver_v my_o money_n for_o florence_n where_o still_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n i_o direct_v my_o course_n from_o thence_o to_o venice_n and_o there_o find_v that_o my_o next_o benefit_n must_v be_v at_o frankfort_n or_o antwerp_n until_o at_o last_o i_o come_v to_o amsterdam_n by_o a_o short_a or_o long_a course_n according_a to_o such_o occasion_n of_o advantage_n as_o the_o time_n and_o place_n shall_v afford_v i_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v still_o that_o the_o profit_n and_o loss_n upon_o the_o exchange_n be_v guide_v and_o rule_v by_o the_o over_o or_o under_o balance_n of_o the_o several_a trade_n which_o be_v predominant_a and_o active_a make_v the_o price_n of_o exchange_n high_a or_o low_o which_o be_v therefore_o passive_a the_o contrary_a whereof_o be_v so_o often_o repeat_v by_o the_o say_a malynes_n to_o the_o second_o four_o fourteen_o and_o twenty_o three_o i_o say_v that_o all_o these_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o mere_a exchanger_n and_o that_o his_o action_n can_v work_v to_o the_o good_a or_o hurt_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n i_o have_v already_o sufficient_o show_v in_o the_o last_o chap._n and_o therefore_o here_o i_o may_v spare_v that_o labour_n to_o the_o three_o it_o be_v true_a i_o can_v deliver_v one_o thousand_o pound_n here_o by_o exchange_n to_o receive_v the_o value_n in_o spain_n where_o with_o this_o spanish_a money_n i_o can_v buy_v and_o bring_v away_o so_o much_o spanish_a ware_n but_o all_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v but_o that_o in_o the_o end_n the_o english_a money_n or_o commodity_n must_v pay_v for_o the_o say_a ware_n for_o if_o i_o deliver_v my_o thousand_o pound_n here_o to_o a_o english_a man_n he_o must_v pay_v i_o in_o spain_n either_o by_o good_n already_o send_v or_o to_o be_v send_v thither_o or_o if_o i_o deliver_v it_o here_o to_o a_o spaniard_n he_o take_v it_o of_o i_o with_o intent_n to_o employ_v it_o in_o our_o ware_n so_o that_o every_o way_n we_o must_v pay_v the_o stranger_n for_o what_o we_o have_v from_o he_o be_v there_o any_o feat_n in_o all_o this_o worthy_a your_o admiration_n to_o the_o five_o thirteen_o twenty_o and_o twenty_o first_o i_o must_v answer_v these_o wonder_n by_o heap_n where_o i_o find_v they_o to_o be_v all_o one_o matter_n in_o divers_a form_n and_o such_o froth_n also_o that_o every_o idiot_n know_v they_o and_o can_v say_v that_o he_o who_o have_v credit_n can_v contract_v buy_v sell_v and_o take_v up_o much_o money_n by_o exchange_n which_o he_o may_v do_v as_o well_o also_o at_o interest_n yet_o in_o these_o course_n they_o be_v not_o always_o gainer_n for_o sometime_o they_o live_v by_o the_o loss_n as_o well_o as_o they_o who_o have_v less_o credit_n to_o the_o six_o and_o seven_o here_o be_v more_o poor_a stuff_n for_o when_o i_o know_v the_o current_a price_n of_o my_o ware_n both_o here_o and_o beyond_o the_o sea_n i_o may_v easy_o conjecture_v whether_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o exchange_n or_o the_o gain_n which_o i_o expect_v upon_o my_o wareswil_n be_v great_a and_o again_o as_o every_o merchant_n know_v well_o what_o he_o gain_v upon_o the_o ware_n he_o buy_v and_o sell_v so_o may_v any_o other_o man_n do_v the_o like_a that_o can_v tell_v how_o the_o say_a merchant_n have_v proceed_v but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o make_v we_o admire_v the_o exchange_n to_o the_o eight_o and_o twelve_o as_o banker_n and_o exchanger_n do_v furnish_v man_n with_o
