same_o demand_n for_o some_o year_n past_a and_o this_o you_o may_v true_o reckon_v the_o cause_n of_o your_o silver_n consumption_n which_o will_v be_v difficult_a now_o to_o prevent_v especial_o

maxim_n which_o you_o will_v certain_o find_v true_a that_o unless_o the_o coin_n be_v much_o abase_v and_o allay_v or_o raise_v very_o considerable_o in_o its_o value_n whenever_o it_o be_v new_o coin_v it_o will_v be_v melt_v down_o as_o it_o have_v be_v and_o send_v the_o same_o way_n when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o you_o can_v to_o prevent_v it_o whither_o that_o be_v you_o have_v sufficient_a information_n above_o for_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o those_o country_n will_v have_v it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a though_o at_o very_o extravagant_a rate_n therefore_o the_o best_a way_n

when_o bring_v into_o europe_n whereby_o the_o trade_n not_o only_o of_o europe_n but_o of_o most_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v extreme_o improve_v and_o bring_v to_o this_o flourish_a state_n and_o condition_n they_o be_v now_o find_v in_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o those_o nation_n which_o have_v money_n and_o be_v furnish_v with_o silver_n and_o gold_n to_o buy_v and_o sell_v with_o their_o way_n of_o live_v in_o all_o condition_n far_o surpass_v the_o circumstance_n of_o such_o country_n as_o be_v without_o therefore_o all_o must_v grant_v where_o there_o be_v but_o

to_o the_o nation_n and_o trade_n then_o certain_o such_o way_n and_o method_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v as_o be_v most_o effectual_a to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v they_o when_o coin_v thereby_o to_o

improvement_n that_o house_n and_o land_n can_v perform_v the_o latter_a be_v in_o comparison_n a_o dead_a and_o the_o former_a a_o quick_a stock_n either_o by_o part_n or_o in_o the_o whole_a ready_a

many_o high_a bidder_n abroad_o who_o have_v find_v by_o long_a experience_n where_o there_o be_v no_o silver_n nor_o gold_n there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o trade_n and_o where_o the_o silver_n and_o

at_o thirty_o shilling_n during_o his_o majesty_n pleasure_n which_o it_o be_v hope_v he_o will_v grant_v so_o long_o as_o the_o war_n continue_v consider_v the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o people_n

to_o take_v for_o alteration_n of_o the_o present_a money_n and_o the_o value_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v set_v upon_o it_o when_o new_o coin_v which_o method_n will_v not_o only_o conduce_v to_o the_o keep_v it_o in_o the_o nation_n but_o will_v also_o make_v the_o people_n easy_a who_o in_o this_o juncture_n be_v under_o great_a tax_n and_o imposition_n and_o must_v be_v further_o charge_v for_o the_o support_n of_o the_o war_n for_o you_o can_v imagine_v but_o in_o this_o precarious_a circumstance_n of_o the_o coin_n the_o damage_n that_o may_v fall_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o guinneas_n if_o not_o establish_v at_o a_o certain_a price_n for_o some_o time_n with_o the_o great_a loss_n that_o will_v certain_o accrue_v by_o the_o clip_v and_o counterfeit_n money_n be_v all_o add_v to_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o present_a tax_n and_o such_o other_o imposition_n that_o be_v to_o be_v further_o raise_v for_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n i_o say_v if_o you_o consider_v all_o these_o together_o and_o examine_v from_o whence_o the_o money_n must_v rise_v to_o make_v they_o good_a you_o will_v find_v the_o burden_n too_o heavy_a for_o the_o people_n to_o bear_v especial_o at_o this_o time_n when_o the_o money_n be_v call_v in_o who_o if_o not_o make_v easy_a by_o you_o and_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a favour_n in_o the_o price_n of_o guinneas_n and_o the_o value_n of_o the_o coin_n may_v occasion_v a_o universal_a murmur_n and_o discontent_n among_o multitude_n of_o his_o subject_n if_o it_o miss_v break_v out_o into_o disorder_n which_o may_v give_v the_o government_n more_o disturbance_n than_o all_o the_o enemy_n thereof_o dare_v pretend_v to_o or_o can_v possible_o accomplish_v by_o any_o pernicious_a contrivance_n for_o be_v please_v to_o consider_v when_o the_o money_n be_v call_v in_o there_o will_v be_v abundance_n of_o people_n that_o can_v scarce_o have_v credit_n till_o the_o money_n come_v forth_o again_o who_o be_v without_o money_n and_o void_a of_o credit_n will_v find_v their_o condition_n and_o reputation_n so_o alter_v and_o change_v that_o it_o will_v be_v difficult_a for_o many_o to_o live_v which_o may_v make_v some_o grow_v desperate_a especial_o if_o they_o suffer_v loss_n by_o the_o guinneas_n and_o damage_n by_o the_o clip_v money_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n i_o therefore_o most_o humble_o move_v that_o you_o may_v proceed_v by_o such_o method_n as_o seem_v rational_a to_o make_v the_o people_n easy_a at_o present_a which_o method_n or_o some_o other_o to_o the_o same_o effect_n if_o not_o take_v and_o make_v use_v of_o there_o be_v many_o of_o you_o will_v be_v great_a sufferer_n in_o this_o concern_v therefore_o in_o all_o humility_n most_o humble_o i_o propose_v first_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v petition_v to_o issue_v his_o royal_a proclamation_n give_v notice_n to_o all_o his_o subject_n in_o his_o kingdom_n of_o england_n dominion_n of_o wales_n and_o berwick_n upon_o
