that_o if_o the_o most_o certain_a and_o expeditious_a way_n to_o ruin_n and_o destroy_v it_o be_v to_o withdraw_v the_o necessary_a supply_n then_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o most_o certain_a way_n

and_o since_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o they_o be_v the_o mortal_a enemy_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o conspirator_n in_o this_o late_a hellish_a plot_n who_o by_o their_o counsel_n and_o

i_o first_o then_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o present_a scarcity_n of_o money_n in_o the_o country_n do_v not_o arise_v from_o the_o real_a decrease_n of_o coin_n in_o specie_fw-la and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o there_o never_o be_v great_a plenty_n of_o coin_n it_o appear_v most_o evident_o from_o the_o notable_a fall_n of_o interest_n for_o the_o law_n allow_v the_o take_n of_o

in_o their_o reputation_n now_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v a_o great_a demonstration_n of_o the_o plenty_n of_o money_n than_o this_o fall_n of_o interest_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o many_o other_o project_n as_o the_o ensure_a building_n and_o the_o lumbr_a design_n that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a bank_n of_o money_n lie_v unemployed_a and_o yet_o the_o nation_n never_o have_v a_o great_a trade_n to_o employ_v money_n never_o more_o ship_v never_o more_o merchant_n as_o will_v easy_o appear_v by_o compare_v the_o customhouse_n entry_n both_o for_o importation_n and_o

not_o only_o by_o say_v money_n be_v scarce_o but_o they_o must_v show_v in_o fact_n by_o assign_v how_o where_o and_o when_o the_o money_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v sink_v and_o draw_v off_o in_o specie_fw-la so_o as_o in_o that_o sense_n to_o make_v the_o objection_n true_a that_o the_o nation_n be_v poor_a i._n e._n that_o there_o be_v not_o actual_o so_o much_o coin_n in_o england_n now_o this_o present_a year_n 1683_o as_o there_o be_v in_o 1653_o when_o money_n the_o republican_n say_v be_v so_o plentiful_a and_o every_o thing_n bear_v a_o price_n for_o though_o all_o the_o coin_n in_o england_n be_v actual_o draw_v into_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o other_o trade_n especial_o maritine_n town_n so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v not_o find_v a_o cross_n in_o the_o poor_a countryman_n pocket_n to_o keep_v the_o devil_n out_o yet_o must_v not_o the_o nation_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o be_v the_o poor_a so_o long_o as_o the_o same_o treasure_n be_v actual_o in_o it_o though_o draw_v into_o few_o hand_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v our_o present_a case_n nay_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o act_n for_o free_a mintage_n of_o money_n which_o be_v so_o

water_n by_o that_o mill_n than_o the_o miller_n know_v of_o in_o the_o second_o place_n therefore_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o want_n of_o due_a circulation_n of_o the_o money_n that_o be_v in_o the_o nation_n be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o the_o present_a scarcity_n of_o mony_n there_o be_v more_o money_n in_o the_o nation_n than_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n can_v

of_o the_o country_n to_o these_o little_a bank_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n still_o drain_v the_o country_n and_o keep_v it_o bare_a for_o in_o effect_n there_o be_v little_o more_o money_n circulate_v in_o the_o inland_a county_n of_o england_n than_o london_n and_o the_o other_o good_a town_n afford_v they_o for_o provision_n for_o the_o mouth_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o inland_a trade_n be_v upon_o the_o matter_n but_o barter_n and_o exchange_v of_o commodity_n for_o commodity_n each_o country_n mutual_o supply_v themselves_o in_o what_o they_o want_v from_o the_o other_o so_o that_o here_o be_v still_o part_n of_o the_o run_v cash_n of_o the_o country_n march_v up_o into_o these_o little_a petty-bag_n office_n but_o vestigia_fw-la pauca_fw-la retrorsum_fw-la no_o circulation_n from_o thence_o again_o three_o therefore_o i_o take_v it_o also_o for_o grant_v that_o whatsoever_o will_v be_v find_v to_o give_v money_n a_o great_a circulation_n will_v make_v it_o more_o plentiful_a in_o the_o nation_n and_o the_o more_o money_n do_v circulate_a the_o more_o it_o will_v for_o the_o country_n be_v not_o want_v in_o commodity_n but_o there_o be_v a_o want_n of_o money_n to_o advance_v the_o rate_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o more_o plentiful_a money_n be_v the_o better_a price_n every_o thing_n give_v for_o all_o market_n rise_v or_o fall_v in_o proportion_n to_o the_o number_n of_o buyer_n and_o chapman_n be_v few_o or_o many_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o plenty_n of_o money_n which_o they_o have_v and_o by_o consequence_n therefore_o till_o more_o money_n do_v circulate_a the_o countryman_n will_v find_v little_a of_o it_o and_o but_o indifferent_a market_n for_o his_o commodity_n and_o till_o market_n be_v better_a rent_n be_v not_o like_a to_o rise_v nor_o these_o little_a banker_n bring_v out_o their_o hoard_v till_o land_n rise_v and_o that_o they_o see_v hope_n of_o advantage_n by_o become_a purchaser_n in_o the_o last_o place_n the_o other_o three_o be_v grant_v viz_o that_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o stock_n of_o money_n in_o the_o nation_n as_o ever_o that_o the_o want_n of_o circulation_n make_v it_o scarce_o and_o
