Aristotle saith that Action and Passion are meerely Relatiues and that they differ no more than the way from Thebes to Athens and from Athens to Thebes let vs discerne therefore the one from the other and we shall find that as the Liuer Money ministreth spirits to the Heart Commodities and the heart to the Braine Exchange so doth the Braine Exchange minister to the whole Microcosme or the whole Bodie of trafficke Let the Heart therefore by the Liuer receiue his tintured Chylus by his owne Mouth and Stomach and the Bloud full of Spirits shall fill all the Veines and supplie the want of moneys the easie course and recourse of whose Exchange shal bring all things in tune serue all mens turnes For euen as there are two courses obserued of the Sun Two courses of Exchange like the two courses of the Sunne the one annuall and the other by dailie declination rising and going vnder within the Aecliptique line euen so must we obserue in Exchange two courses the one according to par pro pari or value for value the other rising or falling from time to time as hath beene sufficiently declared whereof the said Aristotle Seneca nor Cicero nor any other Phylosopher or Orator could take notice in the infancie of trade Exchange not being then inuented neither do we find that any Temporall or Ciuile Lawyer hath entred into this important studie for the welfare of kingdomes and Common-weales by the rule of Equalitie and Equitie hitherto To conclude therfore this Paradoxicall discourse I cannot omit to doe the same with another Paradox by me obserued in the making of moneys of gold and siluer namely That a man may commixe Bullion to make a certaine standard of moneys either of gold and siluer A very strange Paradox and after the commixture made shall alter the standard and make the same better or worse without putting any allay or siluer and gold vnto it That is to say I will melt downe eleuen ounces and two pennie weight of fine siluer and eighteene pennie weight of copper both one pound Troy

their bodies vntill the day of Iudgement For albeit the Spirit of man is rightly termed to bee the Facultie of the Soule The Facultie of the Soule is the Spirit of man yet the parts of the Soule concerning Vnderstanding and Will haue their proper relation for that part called Vnderstanding is seated chiefly in the Soule as Will is in the Spirit both to be accompanied with Knowledge The Phylosophers haue made this distinction by their Chimicall obseruation and such as place the Soule in the bloud dispersed through all the veynes of the bodie do also place the Will of man in the spirit residing in the heart of man which the Anatomists demonstrateth to be a little concauitie where the drops of the vitall bloud are placed in the heart which are feared vp and the place is shrunke in bodies which haue been poisoned To make application of this comparison betweene the Soule and Spirit Application of the comparison we shall find by the following discourse that euen as the Spirit of man is predominant ouer the Soule and Bodie in all the actions thereof which by the bloud are quickned and preserued euen so is the Exchange for moneys by Bills of Exchanges ouerruling the course of commodities and moneys in all places where the action of money is felt or seene directing the same by some due proportions accordingly CHAP. I. Of the Beginning of the Exchange for Moneys by Bills of Exchanges THE Exchange for moneys is of great antiquitie for as we haue declared the first Siluer moneys coyned by the Romanes is almost 1900 yeares since And euen as money was inuented to bee made of the best mettalls to auoid the troublesome carriage of commodities vp and downe and from one countrey into another So vpon the like consideration when other nations imitating the Romanes did coyne moneys The cause of the Exchanges Exchange by Bills for moneys was deuised to auoid both the danger and aduenture of moneys and the troublesome carriage thereof This money now being made by diuers Nations of seuerall standards and diuers stamps and inscriptions as a Marke of Soueraigntie caused them to appoint a certaine Exchange for the permutation of the seuerall sorts of coynes in diuers countreys without any transportation of the coyne but giuing Par pro Pari or value for value with a certaine allowance to accomodate the Merchant and the officers to execute the same were called Numularij Argentarij and Collybistae that is to say Numularij of Nummus or the coyne it selfe Argentarij because the Siluer coyne was most vsuall in the course of trafficke and Collybistae because it signifieth a reward for Exchanging Here now let vs obserue foure manner of Exchanges which haue beene vsed and in some countreys are yet continued albeit some of them are abrogated in England commonly called Cambio Commune Cambio Reall Cambio Sicco and Cambio Fictitio which denomination may be admitted The first manner of Exchange called Cambio Commune I Cambio Commune is properly that Exchange which the said Collibistae or common Exchangers did vse by the authoritie of Princes and Common-weales for the lawfull and currant moneys of their Kingdomes and Territories which was found to be verie expedient and necessarie and was established to preuent the exportation of money from one countrie into another countrie and these Exchangers did deliuer in all countries the Money in one specie for the Moneys in other species by them receiued as aforesaid Tables of Exchange Whereupon King Edward the third of England caused certaine Tables to be set vp at Douer and other places of the realme declaring the value of the said sundrie species of coyne of all countries trafficking with his subiects and the allowance which Merchants were to giue to haue their turnes serued as may appeare by the good Lawes made in his time when there was Moneys coyned in diuers places of this Kingdome and not in one mint onely within the Tower of London And this was long before the discouerie of the West-Indies from whence the ocean of Money did run into Christendome And for the gouernment of the said Tables all was at the direction of the Master of the Kings Mint at London and with a correspondence of other Mints namely at Canturburie at Kingston vpon Hull New-castle vpon Tine Bristoll and Exceter And the Exchanger for the King at London did also depute Exchangers in the most places except that certaine Merchants of Florence called Friscobaldi were the Kings Exchangers at Kingston Friscobaldi the Exchangers New-castle and Exceter who made the said Exchanges of value for value with a reasonable allowance and by their meanes were all the said Mints set on worke and the transportation of our Moneys was preuented for as Bishop Tursids booke of Arithmeticke declareth by giuing par pro pari or value for value there was no gaine left to the transporter The Kings of England did constitute these Exchangers Kings Exchangers euen as the Cambiadores and Banquers are vsed in other countries being authorised by the King or Prince of the said countries especially King Edward the first of England who had two Exchangers the one called Custos Cambij infra Turrim who had the charge in buying of bullion and to looke to the coynage of Money within the realme now called the Warden of the Mint the other was called Keeper of the exchange and rechange within or towards this realme for Moneys to be paied in specie by Bills of Exchanges beyond the seas And afterwards the said Exchanges were made without naming the species but according to the value of the seuerall coynes 2 Cambio Reall and this was called Cambium Regis or Royall Exchange which caused Queene Elizabeth to name the Burse in London accordingly This office appeareth to haue been in the eleuenth yere of the said King Edw. by an Act of Parliament made at Acton Burnel since which time the succeeding Kings and Queenes haue continued the same by sixteene seuerall Letters Patents And whereas it seemed that the said two Exchangers could not execute their offices conueniently being asunder it fell out that in Henrie the sixth his time a Law was made by which both offices were put into one mans hand and so continued many yeares vntill the time of King Henrie the eight Exchanges discontinued when he caused base Moneys to be made at the seige of Bulloigne whereupon no certaine Exchange could be grounded albeit that before that time in the two and twentieth yeare of his raigne he caused a Proclamation to be made according to an old Statute made in the time of King Richard the second The Chronicle of Graston That no person should make any Exchanges contrarie to the said meaning or Act of Parliament vpon paine to be taken to be the Kings mortall enemie and to forfeit all that he might forfeit For in his noble fathers time King Henrie the seuenth the Bankers had inuented a course of
