A60769	Some considerations about the raising of coin in a second letter to Mr. Locke.		1696 (1696)	Wing S4481; ESTC R16348	23,256	57

interest_n be_v never_o so_o strong_a as_o it_o be_v the_o contrary_a can_v ever_o be_v persuade_v to_o infringe_v these_o rule_n of_o equity_n and_o violate_v a_o thing_n so_o sacred_a i_o add_v this_o word_n sacred_a because_o the_o wise_a of_o the_o ancient_n do_v ever_o esteem_v the_o business_n of_o their_o money_n to_o be_v so_o or_o at_o least_o thought_n fit_a to_o imprint_v such_o a_o reverence_n of_o it_o in_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o they_o either_o coin_v it_o in_o the_o temple_n of_o their_o god_n or_o erect_v altar_n in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v time_n that_o we_o now_o consider_v this_o matter_n not_o by_o supposition_n only_o but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o reality_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o then_o say_v of_o those_o projector_n that_o under_o the_o colour_n no_o colour_n of_o raise_v coin_n promote_v a_o thing_n that_o will_v be_v so_o considerable_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o majesty_n interest_n all_o i_o can_v say_v of_o they_o be_v that_o whether_o they_o do_v it_o ignorant_o or_o design_o the_o mischief_n to_o his_o majesty_n be_v the_o same_o and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v obviate_v with_o utmost_a care_n by_o all_o that_o have_v capacity_n and_o opportunity_n to_o intermeddle_v in_o it_o it_o be_v too_o notorious_a to_o be_v dissemble_v that_o the_o exchequer_n be_v not_o now_o replenish_v with_o any_o treasure_n so_o that_o if_o such_o a_o law_n as_o i_o have_v suppose_v to_o take_v place_n the_o first_o of_o november_n next_o be_v pass_v the_o king_n can_v have_v no_o manner_n of_o present_a benefit_n by_o it_o and_o for_o the_o future_a he_o will_v lose_v at_o one_o stroke_n the_o six_o part_n of_o all_o his_o revenue_n the_o case_n be_v the_o very_a same_o if_o not_o yet_o hard_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o king_n that_o i_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o wealthy_a gentleman_n who_o have_v their_o estate_n out_o either_o in_o money_n upon_o bond_n and_o mortgage_n or_o in_o land_n upon_o run_a lease_n whatever_o there_o be_v of_o crown_n land_n no_o body_n will_v think_v that_o the_o rent_n of_o they_o will_v be_v either_o more_o speedy_o or_o more_o easy_o raise_v than_o those_o of_o private_a gentleman_n but_o much_o the_o contrary_a but_o however_o the_o great_a and_o fix_a branch_n of_o his_o majesty_n revenue_n excise_n and_o custom_n be_v too_o considerable_a to_o require_v any_o other_o instance_n to_o be_v join_v with_o they_o and_o too_o obvious_o within_o this_o case_n to_o admit_v of_o any_o dispute_n they_o be_v settle_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o will_v continue_v to_o be_v pay_v according_o so_o that_o if_o our_o coin_n shall_v now_o be_v raise_v as_o it_o be_v call_v one_o six_o part_n the_o king_n revenue_n will_v be_v just_a one_o six_o part_n diminish_v his_o majesty_n have_v much_o obligation_n indeed_o to_o the_o promoter_n of_o such_o a_o design_n it_o will_v be_v pleasant_a to_o hear_v they_o argue_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v argue_v against_o what_o i_o here_o maintain_v that_o the_o parliament_n may_v raise_v those_o duty_n so_o much_o high_a or_o give_v the_o king_n something_o else_o equivalent_a to_o the_o loss_n that_o he_o may_v sustain_v in_o they_o this_o be_v just_o according_a to_o the_o old_a proverb_n make_v work_n and_o have_v work_n but_o cui_fw-la bono_fw-mi why_o all_o this_o noise_n why_o all_o this_o bustle_n why_o all_o these_o change_n when_o we_o be_v to_o be_v bring_v round_o to_o the_o same_o point_n from_o whence_o we_o set_v forth_o for_o it_o be_v even_o so_o and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o answer_n to_o these_o question_n bring_v i_o round_o also_o why_o all_o this_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o few_o money-monger_n there_o be_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o in_o the_o matter_n they_o and_o they_o only_o that_o have_v enrich_v themselves_o by_o the_o several_a step_n that_o we_o have_v hitherto_o see_v will_v be_v able_a to_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o this_o finish_n strike_v finish_v i_o mean_v to_o their_o prodigious_a wealth_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n if_o not_o absolute_o finish_v i_o be_o sure_a too_o strong_o lead_v to_o the_o fatal_a finish_n of_o england_n ruin_n our_o apprehension_n of_o public_a ruin_n upon_o such_o a_o alteration_n will_v appear_v more_o obvious_o reasonable_a if_o we_o add_v this_o further_a reflection_n upon_o the_o present_a circumstance_n of_o the_o nation_n every_o body_n be_v sensible_a how_o much_o the_o last_o year_n intend_a supply_n fall_v short_a and_o how_o very_o great_a a_o sum_n will_v therefore_o this_o year_n be_v necessary_a i_o presume_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o guess_v at_o it_o but_o all_o man_n know_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o much_o as_o to_o exceed_v all_o possibility_n of_o be_v raise_v upon_o the_o people_n any_o way_n whatsoever_o in_o one_o year_n we_o have_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o maintain_v ourselves_o but_o by_o settle_v some_o fund_n or_o other_o as_o we_o have_v do_v of_o late_a year_n and_o borrow_v the_o money_n upon_o it_o by_o way_n of_o anticipation_n now_o this_o be_v our_o case_n if_o we_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n by_o raise_v our_o coin_n do_v so_o great_a and_o so_o manifest_a a_o wrong_n as_o i_o have_v show_v this_o will_v be_v to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v hitherto_o contribute_v to_o our_o support_n who_o estate_n in_o the_o different_a fund_n already_o settle_v will_v thereby_o become_v just_a so_o much_o less_o as_o our_o money_n shall_v be_v raise_v i_o say_v if_o we_o shall_v now_o but_o show_v ourselves_o capable_a of_o so_o much_o ingratitude_n and_o so_o much_o treachery_n from_o whence_o can_v we_o expect_v any_o further_a support_n of_o the_o like_a kind_n we_o shall_v certain_o be_v abandon_v by_o all_o man_n we_o shall_v deserve_o sink_v into_o utter_a ruin_n and_o our_o destruction_n must_v be_v own_v to_o be_v ourselves_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o think_v that_o any_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o give_v this_o counsel_n design_o for_o this_o end_n but_o i_o say_v again_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o practice_n appear_v to_o i_o so_o dreadful_o ruinous_a that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v avoid_v with_o the_o same_o care_n as_o if_o it_o be_v evident_o so_o design_v i_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v the_o consequence_n that_o this_o raise_n of_o our_o coin_n can_v have_v upon_o the_o whole_a nation_n collective_o with_o respect_n to_o all_o those_o with_o who_o we_o have_v any_o manner_n of_o deal_v abroad_o the_o pretence_n be_v that_o if_o our_o coin_n be_v raise_v our_o money_n will_v not_o be_v carry_v beyond-sea_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n we_o be_v now_o to_o inquire_v into_o but_o i_o protest_v i_o be_o almost_o ashamed_a to_o go_v about_o it_o those_o that_o have_v any_o manner_n of_o sense_n and_o know_v in_o the_o least_o how_o the_o world_n go_v can_v but_o be_v satisfy_v that_o by_o one_o single_a calculation_n in_o my_o former_a letter_n i_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n our_o money_n be_v not_o carry_v abroad_o nor_o can_v it_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v upon_o account_n of_o private_a gain_n whilst_o the_o exchange_n be_v as_o when_o i_o write_v last_o at_o thirty_o three_o skillings_n and_o much_o more_o whilst_o it_o be_v as_o now_o at_o thirty_o six_o nay_o nor_o ever_o can_v it_o be_v carry_v abroad_o at_o all_o if_o our_o different_a coin_n be_v once_o bring_v to_o a_o equality_n which_o the_o use_v of_o scale_n will_v effect_v in_o a_o moment_n unless_o the_o total_a sum_n of_o our_o debt_n to_o foreigner_n amount_v to_o more_o than_o they_o to_o we_o whenever_o that_o happen_v which_o can_v only_o be_v by_o a_o overbalance_n in_o trade_n when_o we_o consume_v more_o of_o their_o commodity_n than_o they_o do_v of_o we_o or_o by_o some_o great_a occasion_n of_o state_n the_o expense_n of_o a_o foreign_a war_n or_o the_o like_a i_o say_v whenever_o this_o happen_v there_o be_v no_o remedy_n for_o it_o money_n will_v go_v and_o the_o raise_n of_o its_o name_n can_v no_o more_o keep_v it_o than_o the_o gothamer_n by_o a_o hedge_n can_v keep_v in_o the_o cuckoo_n what_o carry_v our_o money_n beyond_o sea_n a_o year_n and_o two_o year_n ago_o to_o so_o great_a a_o degree_n be_v only_o the_o inequality_n of_o it_o sure_o that_o have_v be_v make_v plain_a enough_o already_o how_o oft_o must_v i_o inculcate_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o the_o cure_n therefore_o can_v consist_v in_o nothing_o but_o the_o equality_n after_o that_o be_v perfect_o effect_v let_v but_o trade_n be_v careful_o inspect_v and_o due_o promote_v trade_n which_o be_v of_o more_o importance_n to_o we_o than_o mine_n either_o of_o silver_n or_o gold_n and_o the_o

a_o great_a many_o worthy_a man_n who_o be_v also_o man_n of_o considerable_a bulk_n and_o fortune_n in_o their_o country_n sure_o the_o indigent_a i_o shall_v rather_o say_v the_o rich_a debtor_n in_o that_o assembly_n be_v neither_o so_o numerous_a as_o to_o carry_v this_o against_o they_o nor_o so_o artful_a as_o to_o draw_v they_o in_o to_o vote_n it_o against_o themselves_o i_o have_v say_v here_o the_o rich_a debtor_n because_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v only_a they_o those_o that_o have_v cash_n lie_v ready_a by_o they_o but_o will_v not_o pay_v it_o because_o of_o their_o expectation_n of_o this_o very_a advantage_n that_o can_v receive_v any_o benefit_n at_o all_o by_o the_o propose_a alteration_n of_o our_o coin_n the_o indigent_a that_o have_v not_o such_o superfluous_a cash_n lie_v by_o they_o when_o this_o alteration_n happen_v to_o be_v make_v however_o they_o find_v money_n afterward_o will_v be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v it_o with_o one_o hand_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o they_o pay_v it_o with_o the_o other_o so_o that_o they_o will_v have_v no_o manner_n of_o profit_n by_o the_o matter_n but_o nevertheless_o the_o rich_a creditor_n will_v on_o all_o all_o hand_n certain_o lose_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o need_v any_o explanation_n but_o i_o beg_v pardon_n of_o you_o sir_n and_o of_o the_o public_a if_o i_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o obscurity_n than_o of_o tediousness_n and_o if_o i_o hazard_v therefore_o upon_o so_o important_a a_o point_n to_o offend_v rather_o in_o length_n than_o in_o brevity_n my_o thought_n be_v these_o when_o the_o alteration_n in_o coin_n be_v once_o make_v in_o the_o very_a same_o moment_n a_o alteration_n in_o the_o real_a value_n of_o every_o other_o thing_n go_v along_o with_o it_o not_o that_o any_o thing_n for_o that_o reason_n will_v be_v worth_n more_o ounce_n of_o silver_n than_o it_o be_v before_o but_o by_o continue_v to_o be_v worth_a just_a the_o same_o number_n of_o ounce_n of_o silver_n that_o it_o be_v before_o it_o will_v be_v worth_n more_o shilling_n or_o crown_n proportionable_o as_o those_o piece_n shall_v be_v either_o diminish_v in_o weight_n or_o raise_v in_o name_n now_o this_o alteration_n in_o those_o thing_n if_o the_o alteration_n in_o coin_n be_v great_a will_v quick_o be_v perceive_v by_o every_o one_o if_o it_o be_v small_a it_o will_v be_v the_o less_o perceptible_a but_o then_o the_o consequence_n of_o it_o will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o last_a now_o the_o wealthy_a gentleman_n that_o receive_v in_o his_o debt_n in_o this_o raise_a coin_n if_o he_o have_v occasion_n to_o pay_v it_o away_o the_o same_o moment_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o another_o debt_n neither_o get_v indeed_o nor_o lose_v by_o that_o single_a transaction_n but_o the_o indigent_a man_n who_o be_v to_o provide_v himself_o necessary_n with_o the_o sum_n that_o he_o so_o receive_v and_o the_o wealthy_a gentleman_n also_o that_o lay_v by_o his_o sum_n till_o they_o grow_v great_a enough_o for_o some_o bargain_n that_o he_o have_v in_o prospect_n or_o that_o keep_v they_o only_o for_o the_o currant_n course_n of_o his_o ordinary_a expense_n will_v both_o of_o they_o certain_o lose_v for_o the_o rate_n of_o every_o thing_n rise_v proportionable_o to_o this_o alteration_n in_o coin_n whatever_o either_o of_o they_o have_v occasion_n to_o buy_v will_v be_v so_o much_o dear_a than_o it_o be_v before_o as_o their_o money_n be_v now_o worse_o and_o so_o much_o they_o therefore_o real_o lose_v but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o land_a man_n rent_n whether_o he_o be_v real_o opulent_a or_o indigent_a reach_v much_o further_o it_o be_v not_o only_o one_o single_a payment_n but_o a_o continue_a course_n of_o annual_a payment_n that_o he_o be_v to_o take_v care_n for_o suppose_v coin_n raise_v as_o it_o be_v call_v a_o half_a or_o a_o quarter_n part_n he_o will_v not_o only_o lose_v so_o much_o by_o the_o first_o quarter_n or_o half-year_n rent_n that_o he_o receive_v but_o for_o all_o lease_n rent-charge_n and_o other_o fix_a payment_n whatsoever_o he_o will_v evident_o go_v on_o to_o lose_v quarterly_o and_o annual_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n for_o the_o future_a as_o long_o as_o the_o term_n of_o those_o contract_n continue_v nay_o without_o restrain_v this_o consideration_n to_o lease_n and_o rent-charge_n even_o for_o all_o land_n let_v year_n by_o year_n without_o any_o such_o fix_a stipulation_n he_o will_v continue_v to_o lose_v considerable_o for_o a_o long_a while_n together_o those_o that_o will_v answer_v any_o thing_n pertinent_o to_o this_o last_o suggestion_n for_o to_o the_o first_o nothing_o can_v be_v answer_v i_o be_o bold_a to_o say_v have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o do_v it_o than_o by_o maintain_v that_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v of_o necessity_n rise_v also_o as_o well_o as_o commodity_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o diminution_n which_o they_o call_v the_o heighten_v of_o coin_n but_o in_o do_v so_o they_o show_v manifest_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o own_o project_n for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v this_o alteration_n be_v make_v in_o coin_n when_o every_o thing_n else_o will_v thereupon_o alter_v according_o and_o return_v in_o a_o short_a while_n to_o bear_v the_o same_o proportion_n to_o the_o new_a name_n weight_n and_o fineness_n of_o coin_n as_o they_o do_v before_o to_o the_o old_a it_o be_v visible_a there_o be_v no_o other_o end_n in_o it_o but_o the_o enrich_n of_o a_o few_o money-monger_n and_o that_o the_o nation_n can_v receive_v no_o advantage_n by_o it_o more_o than_o the_o use_v of_o so_o much_o cash_n as_o they_o shall_v gracious_o please_v upon_o such_o a_o bribe_n to_o issue_v forth_o towards_o the_o payment_n of_o their_o own_o debt_n i_o be_o oblige_v therefore_o to_o grant_v by_o my_o own_o principle_n and_o i_o be_o glad_a our_o antagonist_n be_v thus_o far_o force_v to_o agree_v with_o i_o that_o in_o consequence_n of_o this_o raise_v of_o coin_n the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v of_o necessity_n rise_v also_o but_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o rise_v of_o rent_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o proceed_v very_o gradual_o the_o farmer_n will_v not_o easy_o be_v bring_v to_o own_o that_o the_o advancement_n which_o he_o will_v find_v in_o the_o price_n of_o his_o commodity_n after_o the_o raise_v of_o coin_n proceed_v from_o that_o reason_n no_o master_n say_v he_o to_o his_o landlord_n though_o this_o have_v be_v a_o pretty_a good_a year_n to_o we_o the_o like_a have_v be_v many_o time_n before_o and_o the_o next_o follow_v it_o have_v be_v a_o bad_a one_o god_n know_v but_o it_o may_v be_v so_o now_o therefore_o i_o hope_v your_o

without_o any_o notice_n take_v of_o the_o reason_n offer_v to_o the_o contrary_a will_v weary_v out_o many_o a_o landlord_n patience_n many_o a_o time_n over_o before_o their_o tenant_n will_v be_v bring_v to_o make_v new_a bargain_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o must_v infallible_o come_v to_o it_o but_o i_o believe_v all_o landlord_n be_v sensible_a that_o this_o must_v be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n and_o whilst_o this_o suspense_n and_o contest_v last_v the_o landlord_n must_v certain_o go_v on_o lose_v annual_o by_o the_o alteration_n that_o i_o argue_v against_o however_o since_o i_o be_o here_o strike_v upon_o this_o fatal_a rock_n which_o if_o our_o coin_n be_v raise_v will_v be_v unavoidable_o very_a ruinous_a to_o all_o that_o have_v any_o manner_n of_o
