to the said Merchants or others which doe practise vpon the Benefite of moneys to bee made betweene the exchange and moneys For the Rule is infallible That when the exchange doth answer the true value of our moneys according to their intrinsicke weight and finenesse and their extrinsicke valuation They are neuer exported because the Gayne is answered by exchange which is the Cause of Transportation This cause being preuented maketh the effect to cease and this is engraffed in euery mans iudgement according to the Maxime often noted heretofore Sublata Causa Tollitur effectus So that exchange still hath the command and striketh the Stroake insomuch that albeit the price thereof riseth and falleth according to Plenty or Scarcity of money yet moneys are ouerruled thereby For if you inhaunce the Coyne the exchange doth controlle it and rise accordingly And if you vndervalue the same The exchange in like manner doth fall in price Wherein note the operation of exchange both here and beyond the Seas in places where exchanges runne vpon the pound of 20. shillings Starlin If the inhauncing of Coyne be beyond the Seas and the exchange be not made accordingly Then our moneys are carried out If the inhauncing of Coyne were made here E contra moneys would bee imported But the merchant Stranger who obserueth the rule of exchange and will not be ouer-taken as wee ●…e will ouer-rule the same

more profit To liue and increase vpon euery Princes Subiect which take vp moneys To winde out euery Princes Treasure out of his Realme whose Subiects bring in more Wares then they carry out To make the Staple of money Runne where the Rich Prince will haue it To vnfurnish the poore Prince of his prouision of money in Warres To furnish their need of money that tarry the selling of their Wares or Commodities To take vp money to engrosse any Commodity or to incorporate any Trade To hide their carrying away of any Princes money To fetch away any Princes fine money with the baser money of other Princes To take vp Princes base money and turne it into fine and pay the party with his owne To get all Merchants money into their hands and gaine thereby and paying them with their owne To make that Realme gaine of all other Realmes whose Subiects liue most by their owne Commodities and sell yeerely the ouerplus into the world and both occupie that increase yeerely and also their old store of Treasure vpon exchange To vndoe Realmes and Princes that looke not to their Common-wealth when the Merchants wealth in such and the great houses of one Countrie conspire together so to rule th'xchange that when they will be Deliuerers they will receiue in an other place aboue the Standard of the Minte of the Princes money deliuered and when they will be Takers they will pay the same in an other place vnder the Standard of the Princes money taken vp To get ready money to buy any thing that is offered cheape and to raise the price of Wares To get a part and sometimes all his Gaines that employeth money taken vp by exchanges in Wares and so make others trauell for their Gaine To keepe Princes from hauing any Customes Subsidies or Taxes vpon their money as they employ it not To value iustly any Wares they carry into any country by setting them at a value as the money that bought them was then at by exchange in the Countrie whither they bee carried By the premisses we may see of what importance the operation of exchange is wherein the endeauours of Sir Thomas Gresham thinking to rule th' exchange of England by plenty of money proueth fruitlesse and might haue beene done with
