objection_n more_o to_o be_v answer_v one_o be_v that_o tyn_n be_v a_o royal_a i_o because_o it_o have_v a_o mixture_n of_o silver_n in_o it_o answ_n there_o be_v not_o a_o ounce_n of_o silver_n in_o many_o thousand_o weight_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o england_n have_v resolve_v it_o to_o the_o contrary_a in_o star-chamber_n as_o appear_v in_o cook_n jurisdict_n of_o court_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v heretofore_o a_o favour_n and_o for_o the_o tynners_n advantage_n to_o suffer_v his_o base_a metal_n to_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o royal_a mine_n so_o it_o may_v receive_v the_o same_o justice_n for_o the_o king_n have_v bu●_n a_o five_o p●rt_n by_o prerogative_n of_o all_o royal_a mine_n whereas_o a_o three_o pa●t_n have_v be_v take_v ou●_n of_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o tynne_n by_o the_o horrible_a abuse_n of_o preemption_n 2._o another_o great_a objection_n be_v that_o if_o the_o tyn_n we●e_v out_o of_o farm_n and_o at_o liberty_n the_o tynner_n will_v be_v but_o a_o prey_n to_o every_o merchant_n and_o the_o tynners_n by_o under-selling_a one_o another_o will_v quick_o destroy_v themselves_o and_o all_o tyn_n work_v answ_n this_o objection_n though_o it_o be_v countenance_v by_o wise_a man_n be_v yet_o a_o mystery_n and_o it_o must_v necessary_o argue_v a_o great_a weakness_n and_o want_n of_o common_a discretion_n in_o the_o tynner_n above_o other_o man_n to_o dispose_v of_o his_o good_n to_o his_o best_a advantage_n from_o whence_o this_o must_v proceed_v otherwise_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o same_o mischief_n and_o inconvenience_n befall_v those_o that_o trade_n in_o fish_n and_o other_o not_o so_o choice_a commodity_n as_o this_o peculiar_a to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o county_n alone_o but_o second_o this_o inconvenience_n never_o follow_v but_o upon_o a_o glut_n of_o tyn_n as_o be_v before_o say_v but_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o this_o fear_n now_o when_o the_o quantity_n be_v so_o small_a that_o the_o manufacture_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o be_v able_a to_o employ_v near_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o tyn_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o year_n as_o it_o be_v at_o present_a three_o admit_v that_o this_o will_v follow_v thereupon_o can_v the_o tynners_n be_v a_o corporation_n of_o themselves_o contract_n with_o some_o few_o merchant_n at_o such_o a_o price_n that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o managery_n and_o trade_n of_o tyn_n but_o that_o not_o only_a merchant_n but_o price_n must_v be_v impose_v on_o they_o and_o for_o this_o favour_n of_o make_v a_o bargain_n and_o sale_n of_o their_o good_n there_o must_v be_v one_o half_o or_o a_o three_o part_n of_o the_o value_n of_o their_o good_n defaulk_v for_o a_o revenue_n this_o be_v such_o a_o grievance_n and_o misery_n which_o no_o subject_n of_o england_n groan_v under_o beside_o the_o tynner_n and_o then_o which_o it_o be_v believe_v there_o be_v no_o particular_a oppression_n cry_v loud_a in_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o parliament_n nor_o which_o in_o its_o redress_n by_o they_o will_v give_v a_o clear_a demonstration_n to_o the_o kingdom_n that_o they_o real_o intend_v to_o break_v every_o yoke_n and_o to_o let_v the_o oppress_v go_v free_a another_o great_a objection_n be_v that_o this_o concession_n of_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n to_o the_o tynner_n will_v be_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o great_a revenue_n to_o the_o state_n
