may_v answer_v ten_o million_o in_o the_o currant_n payment_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o that_o few_o will_v take_v money_n out_o but_o transfer_v from_o one_o account_n to_o another_o and_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o most_o man_n will_v lodge_v their_o money_n in_o bank_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o security_n and_o save_v the_o trouble_n and_o hazard_v of_o tell_v money_n for_o these_o reason_n it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o bank_n will_v pay_v no_o interest_n and_o that_o may_v be_v injurious_a to_o the_o nation_n in_o two_o respect_n first_o it_o may_v necessitate_v many_o people_n to_o carry_v their_o money_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n where_o they_o may_v make_v some_o benefit_n by_o it_o when_o they_o be_v debar_v from_o any_o advantage_n at_o home_n the_o other_o mischief_n it_o may_v do_v reach_v widow_n and_o orphan_n who_o support_n often_o depend_v upon_o the_o interest_n of_o their_o money_n and_o if_o bank_n pay_v none_o they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o set_v out_o at_o very_o low_a interest_n more_o than_o the_o want_n of_o the_o kingdom_n will_v require_v but_o that_o which_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v a_o expedient_a in_o this_o case_n may_v be_v a_o proviso_n in_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o these_o bank_n shall_v set_v out_o no_o money_n at_o interest_n upon_o real_a estate_n by_o which_o mean_v there_o will_v be_v room_n for_o private_a person_n to_o set_v out_o money_n upon_o mortgage_n these_o bank_n be_v national_a may_v be_v so_o constitute_v as_o to_o retrieve_v that_o most_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o navigation_n of_o the_o greenland_n and_o newfoundland_n fish_v but_o because_o that_o may_v be_v discourage_v to_o some_o person_n that_o understand_v not_o trade_n and_o only_o depend_v on_o their_o money_n at_o interest_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o show_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o trade_n propose_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o certain_a fund_z or_o dividend_n of_o at_o least_o five_o per_fw-la cent_n per_fw-la ann._n beside_o the_o profit_n of_o trade_n and_o that_o may_v be_v do_v thus_o suppose_v the_o fund_z of_o land_n to_o be_v value_v at_o 20_o year_n purchase_n the_o rent_n will_v be_v five_o per_fw-la cent._n for_o two_o million_o then_o for_o the_o other_o two_o million_o in_o cash_n allow_v but_o five_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o exchange_n that_o complete_v the_o five_o per_fw-la cent._n upon_o the_o whole_a fund_z this_o be_v a_o certainty_n without_o reckon_v any_o advantage_n to_o be_v make_v by_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o bank_n and_o put_v out_o money_n to_o interest_n there_o will_v not_o be_v here_o room_n to_o mention_v the_o modus_fw-la or_o advantage_n that_o will_v attend_v that_o most_o important_a undertake_n of_o

will_v advance_v the_o price_n and_o consume_v great_a quantity_n of_o provision_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o that_o newfoundland_n be_v no_o place_n for_o either_o tillage_n or_o cattle_n and_o we_o shall_v employ_v many_o foreign_a hand_n in_o that_o trade_n the_o advantage_n that_o will_v arise_v to_o the_o nation_n by_o these_o bank_n need_v no_o explanation_n for_o that_o they_o be_v easy_a to_o every_o understanding_n among_o the_o rest_n that_o of_o supply_v the_o king_n with_o money_n upon_o any_o public_a fund_n as_o shall_v be_v appoint_v by_o parliament_n be_v not_o the_o least_o lumber_n for_o poor_a artisan_n and_o other_o be_v a_o appendix_n to_o bank_n and_o may_v by_o fund_n out_o of_o they_o in_o each_o county_n be_v supply_v so_o as_o that_o the_o poor_a may_v have_v money_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o trade_n and_o employment_n on_o pawn_n that_o may_v be_v so_o easy_a and_o with_o the_o advantage_n of_o sell_v in_o public_a sales_n what_o they_o leave_v in_o

in_o the_o improvement_n and_o enlarge_n the_o manufactory_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o be_v much_o discourage_v by_o the_o necessity_n and_o hardship_n that_o be_v put_v on_o the_o poor_a for_o want_v of_o sales_n which_o these_o lumber_n will_v supply_v and_o the_o best_a and_o ready_a mean_n for_o the_o poor_a to_o sell_v their_o good_n every_o month_n whereas_o now_o they_o be_v often_o force_v to_o sell_v their_o labour_n to_o shopkeeper_n at_o such_o rate_n as_o give_v they_o little_a more_o than_o what_o their_o material_n cost_v they_o which_o have_v the_o worse_a effect_n in_o that_o it_o encourage_v a_o set_v of_o idle_a man_n in_o the_o kingdom_n with_o fold_a arm_n in_o a_o shop_n to_o live_v upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o handicraftsman_n their_o number_n be_v increase_v even_o to_o a_o nuisance_n by_o their_o easy_a way_n of_o live_v on_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a if_o we_o take_v precedent_n from_o abroad_o this_o evil_n will_v not_o have_v grow_v thus_o among_o we_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o many_o retailer_n in_o amsterdam_n as_o there_o be_v in_o some_o market-town_n in_o england_n and_o this_o evil_n be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v condemn_v since_o we_o want_v not_o a_o statute_n to_o prevent_v it_o for_o in_o the_o 5_o the_o year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n a_o statute_n pass_v that_o artisan_n son_n shall_v not_o be_v apprentice_n to_o shopkeeper_n there_o be_v then_o none_o turn_v from_o mechanical_a art_n to_o be_v retailer_n as_o now_o there_o be_v number_n that_o do_v and_o great_a part_n quaker_n a_o people_n that_o for_o many_o reason_n may_v be_v think_v as_o unprofitable_a to_o the_o nation_n as_o jew_n and_o so_o i_o take_v the_o great_a part_n of_o retailer_n and_o hawkers_o to_o be_v they_o ought_v as_o much_o to_o be_v restrain_v and_o keep_v to_o a_o quantum_fw-la as_o hackney-coachman_n and_o coffeehouse_n for_o though_o both_o if_o confine_v to_o number_n be_v useful_a yet_o in_o their_o

i_o make_v a_o purchase_n before_o i_o see_v it_o for_o that_o i_o may_v do_v with_o as_o much_o judgement_n as_o if_o have_v some_o time_n after_o i_o go_v to_o see_v the_o purchase_n i_o have_v
