i_o question_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v esteem_v worth_a perusal_n and_o have_v propound_v so_o great_a advantage_n by_o erect_v bank_n i_o conceive_v it_o proper_a first_o to_o give_v you_o some_o

that_o agree_v with_o they_o for_o the_o same_o and_o make_v payment_n thereof_o by_o assignation_n pass_v each_o man_n account_n from_o one_o to_o another_o yet_o pay_v little_a money_n insomuch_o that_o if_o a_o merchant_n or_o other_o person_n want_n money_n if_o he_o have_v or_o can_v procure_v credit_n in_o bank_n he_o may_v make_v as_o good_a payment_n by_o assignment_n in_o bank_n without_o it_o as_o for_o example_n the_o say_a merchant_n buy_v cloth_n of_o a_o clothier_n for_o 100l_o value_v more_o or_o less_o and_o go_v with_o he_o to_o the_o bank_n where_o he_o be_v debtor_n for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o take_v up_o and_o the_o clothier_n be_v make_v creditor_n for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o sell_v his_o good_n for_o to_o the_o say_a merchant_n then_o such_o clothier_n have_v

wool-monger_n buy_v wool_n from_o a_o country_n farmer_n for_o so_o much_o money_n more_o or_o less_o so_o the_o wool-monger_n be_v make_v debtor_n and_o the_o farmer_n creditor_n the_o farmer_n must_v pay_v rend_v to_o his_o landlord_n and_o be_v likewise_o make_v debtor_n and_o his_o landlord_n creditor_n the_o say_a landlord_n for_o his_o occasion_n buy_v good_n of_o a_o mercer_n grocer_n vintner_n or_o the_o like_a or_o from_o all_o than_o he_o be_v make_v debtor_n and_o such_o mercer_n or_o other_o tradesman_n creditor_n then_o peradventure_o such_o mercer_n or_o other_o tradesman_n buy_v good_n from_o the_o same_o merchant_n that_o take_v up_o the_o first_o credit_n in_o bank_n and_o stand_v yet_o debtor_n there_o but_o upon_o sale_n of_o his_o good_n to_o the_o mercer_n or_o other_o tradesman_n both_o clear_v their_o account_n in_o bank_n and_o so_o in_o all_o trade_n as_o occasion_n present_v these_o bank_n in_o the_o several_a part_n of_o europe_n where_o erect_v be_v
