for_o yet_o they_o be_v seldom_o find_v willing_a to_o receive_v they_o when_o return_v especial_o in_o quantity_n 3._o if_o any_o of_o these_o retailer_n come_v to_o remove_v their_o habitation_n

man_n in_o a_o year_n for_o their_o portion●●r_a share_n beside_o what_o the_o poor_a and_o common_a sort_n of_o subject_n suffer_v by_o it_o for_o remedy_n against_o which_o unsufferable_a abuse_n since_o the_o allow_v of_o farthing_n well_o regulate_v may_v be_v so_o general_a a_o commodity_n and_o that_o without_o they_o the_o poor_a will_v want_v much_o of_o their_o relief_n and_o every_o

if_o possible_a may_v be_v find_v out_o and_o fix_v on_o as_o in_o all_o probability_n at_o least_o may_v prevent_v all_o importation_n by_o the_o hollander_n and_o from_o other_o foreign_a part_n as_o well_o as_o the_o usual_a abuse_n by_o counterfeiter_n at_o home_n 2._o that_o in_o case_n such_o a_o metal_n as_o propose_v can_v be_v find_v out_o certain_o it_o will_v be_v more_o fit_a than_o farthing_n of_o such_o metal_n only_o be_v suffer_v to_o pass_v in_o such_o form_n and_o manner_n as_o by_o the_o royal_a authority_n may_v be_v approve_v then_o that_o every_o one_o as_o now_o shall_v be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n or_o other_o farthing_n suffer_v to_o pass_v then_o such_o as_o may_v be_v allow_v and_o direct_v by_o his_o majesty_n the_o usual_a objection_n to_o which_o by_o such_o as_o now_o take_v liberty_n in_o the_o contrary_a be_v suitable_a to_o each_o man_n genius_n or_o interest_n viz._n 1._o some_o say_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o his_o

cumbersome_a and_o untrassiqueable_a 4._o and_o suppose_v they_o can_v be_v make_v of_o any_o metal_n that_o can_v not_o be_v counterfeit_a and_o such_o as_o may_v answer_v the_o full_a intrinsique_n value_n except_v the_o manufacture_n only_o which_o be_v as_o reasonable_a to_o be_v allow_v in_o this_o as_o at_o the_o mint_n for_o standard_n money_n yet_o whatever_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o the_o office_n for_o the_o fashion_n and_o manufacture_n of_o such_o farthing_n in_o the_o exchange_n will_v be_v so_o much_o loss_n as_o the_o fashion_n come_v to_o to_o every_o subject_a that_o take_v they_o either_o for_o commodity_n or_o in_o exchange_n for_o other_o money_n 5._o other_o say_v that_o all_o farthing_n now_o use_v if_o recall_v will_v be_v so_o
