have_v be_v of_o late_a year_n so_o rack_v up_o in_o rent_n that_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v not_o yield_v more_o year_n purchase_v now_o according_a to_o the_o present_a rent_n than_o they_o will_v have_v do_v many_o year_n past_a and_o yet_o may_v double_v the_o money_n they_o be_v then_o buy_v or_o sell_v for_o because_o the_o rent_n may_v be_v much_o less_o then_o where_o use_v for_o money_n be_v high_a land_n be_v cheap_a in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o in_o england_n and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o that_o it_o be_v so_o spain_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n do_v abundant_o attest_v in_o those_o kingdom_n interest_n be_v high_a and_o land_n cheap_a in_o italy_n and_o holland_n usury_n be_v low_a and_o land_n dear_a that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o according_a to_o the_o rate_n of_o interest_n be_v evident_a from_o reason_n for_o who_o be_v so_o stupid_a as_o to_o give_v more_o than_o ten_o or_o twelve_o year_n purchase_n for_o land_n if_o interest_n be_v at_o 10_o per_fw-la cent._n when_o at_o single_a interest_n they_o may_v double_v their_o money_n in_o ten_o year_n if_o high_a interest_n bring_v down_o the_o price_n of_o land_n certain_o low_a interest_n must_v raise_v it_o whilst_o use_n be_v at_o 6_o per_fw-la cent._n especial_o when_o land_n be_v load_v with_o tax_n few_o will_v buy_v the_o interest_n of_o money_n be_v at_o least_o 2_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o than_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n if_o interest_n be_v reduce_v to_o four_o in_o the_o hundred_o it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o overrun_v the_o rent_n of_o land_n and_o consequent_o more_o man_n will_v be_v incline_v to_o buy_v and_o can_v affore_v to_o give_v a_o better_a price_n than_o now_o they_o can_v for_o interest_n fetch_v the_o price_n in_o buy_v and_o sell_v land_n if_o usury_n be_v reduce_v to_o four_o in_o the_o hundred_o we_o may_v reasonable_o enough_o expect_v that_o 10_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n in_o land_n be_v now_o worth_a 200_o l._n will_v within_o few_o year_n be_v worth_a 300_o l._n the_o disproportion_n betwixt_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n and_o interest_n of_o money_n be_v so_o much_o less_o and_o the_o value_n of_o money_n be_v thereby_o so_o considerable_o abate_v that_o 300_o l._n at_o 4_o per_fw-la cent._n in_o twenty_o year_n will_v bring_v in_o no_o more_o than_o 200_o l._n at_o 6_o per_fw-la cent._n in_o twenty_o year_n do_v now_o and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o the_o exchange_n betwixt_o land_n money_n and_o good_n shall_v be_v even_o for_o why_o shall_v the_o country_n gentleman_n give_v 6_o per_fw-mi cent._n for_o money_n or_o good_n when_o his_o land_n will_v bring_v in_o but_o four_o i_o believe_v i_o may_v say_v not_o three_o at_o this_o time_n why_o shall_v the_o gentleman_n pay_v 2_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o for_o all_o the_o good_n he_o buy_v of_o the_o merchant_n viz._n for_o silk_n linen_n etc._n etc._n than_o the_o merchant_n give_v for_o his_o wool_n corn_n or_o cattle_n this_o be_v the_o case_n i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n have_v so_o great_a a_o share_n in_o parliament_n will_v in_o due_a time_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_a reflect_v upon_o the_o great_a odds_o in_o the_o exchange_n and_o promote_v a_o law_n to_o regulate_v the_o balance_n such_o a_o law_n will_v certain_o prevent_v many_o noble_a manor_n and_o goodly_a farm_n from_o be_v so_o quick_o devour_v by_o tailor_n be_v and_o mercer_n bill_n for_o gentleman_n may_v then_o expend_v more_o pay_v better_o and_o run_v into_o debt_n less_o chap._n iii_o that_o it_o will_v improve_v rent_n or_o at_o least_o enable_v the_o farmer_n to_o pay_v his_o rent_n better_o that_o a_o abatement_n of_o interest_n will_v improve_v rent_n or_o at_o least_o enable_v the_o farmer_n to_o pay_v his_o rent_n better_o than_o he_o can_v whilst_o money_n be_v at_o 6_o per_fw-la cent._n it_o will_v raise_v the_o rent_n of_o some_o estate_n and_o keep_v up_o the_o rent_n of_o other_o for_o the_o farmer_n must_v make_v up_o his_o account_n as_o the_o merchant_n do_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o stock_n must_v be_v reckon_v as_o well_o as_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n so_o that_o the_o take_v 2_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n from_o the_o stock_n be_v add_v to_o the_o rent_n of_o the_o land_n so_o much_o be_v the_o rent_n of_o the_o land_n raise_v or_o the_o farm_n so_o much_o the_o cheap_a to_o the_o tenant_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o farm_n that_o be_v now_o worth_a 50_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n and_o require_v 300_o l._n to_o stock_n it_o will_v be_v worth_a 56_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la when_o interest_n be_v reduce_v to_o four_o in_o the_o hundred_o there_o be_v six_o pound_n a_o year_n take_v from_o the_o stock_n and_o add_v to_o the_o rent_n and_o the_o farmer_n shall_v make_v the_o same_o account_n of_o profit_n from_o the_o farm_n as_o he_o do_v now_o interest_n be_v at_o 6_o per_fw-la cent._n interest_n be_v so_o high_a trade_n discourse_v of_o trade_n in_o england_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o rent_n for_o trade_n be_v thereby_o confine_v to_o a_o quick_a return_n and_o the_o merchant_n not_o be_v able_a to_o lay_v up_o any_o

produce_v the_o stock_n must_v fall_v as_o the_o price_n of_o the_o stock_n do_v whereas_o if_o interest_n be_v at_o 4_o per_fw-la cent._n it_o will_v make_v the_o rent_n more_o certain_a and_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o land_n if_o usury_n be_v at_o four_o in_o the_o hundred_o there_o will_v always_o be_v a_o magazine_n of_o corn_n and_o wool_n in_o england_n which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a

recover_v themselves_o in_o year_n of_o scarcity_n for_o when_o the_o price_n be_v very_o low_a the_o crop_n will_v not_o pay_v the_o charge_n of_o plough_v sow_v reap_v thrash_a and_o carry_v to_o

corn_n and_o wool_n in_o year_n of_o plenty_n will_v be_v buy_v and_o lay_v up_o to_o be_v sell_v in_o year_n of_o scarcity_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o buy_n in_o year_n of_o plenty_n will_v keep_v the_o price_n from_o fall_v too_o low_o and_o the_o sell_n in_o year_n of_o scarcity_n will_v prevent_v it_o from_o rise_v too_o high_a whereby_o corn_n and_o wool_n will_v always_o be_v buy_v and_o sell_v at_o a_o moderate_a price_n and_o the_o farmer_n be_v stock_n and_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n will_v be_v more_o certain_a estate_n let_v in_o lease_n whether_o for_o life_n or_o year_n

this_o will_v not_o be_v a_o general_a prejudice_n because_o they_o be_v few_o in_o number_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n for_o they_o be_v scarce_o one_o to_o twenty_o of_o the_o whole_a people_n and_o of_o those_o not_o one_o in_o forty_o will_v suffer_v by_o a_o abatement_n of_o interest_n for_o these_o reason_n many_o of_o they_o have_v land_n or_o annuity_n and_o such_o

therefore_o they_o must_v give_v great_a portion_n but_o that_o be_v a_o mistake_n for_o 1000_o l._n will_v be_v as_o much_o value_v by_o a_o tradesman_n as_o it_o be_v now_o it_o will_v buy_v as_o

be_v advance_v to_o its_o high_a value_n but_o since_o the_o usurer_n be_v not_o so_o public-spirited_a it_o be_v necessary_a that_o a_o moderate_a interest_n shall_v be_v allow_v to_o invite_v he_o
