general_a opinion_n that_o the_o trade_n of_o england_n be_v never_o great_a and_o it_o may_v be_v true_a that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o absolute_o conclude_v that_o the_o kingdom_n do_v increase_v in_o riches_n for_o the_o trade_n may_v be_v very_o abundant_a and_o yet_o by_o consumption_n and_o importance_n of_o more_o than_o be_v expect_v the_o stock_n may_v waste_v the_o balance_n will_v be_v a_o true_a solution_n of_o the_o question_n if_o it_o can_v be_v right_o have_v but_o by_o reason_n it_o must_v be_v make_v up_o by_o a_o medium_fw-la of_o the_o book_n of_o rate_n it_o will_v be_v very_o uncertain_a therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v another_o rule_n that_o be_v more_o sensible_a upon_o which_o we_o may_v all_o judge_n and_o that_o may_v be_v by_o the_o plenty_n orscarcity_n of_o money_n for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a rule_n if_o money_n increase_v the_o kingdom_n do_v gain_v by_o trade_n if_o it_o be_v scarce_o it_o lose_v let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v first_o whether_o our_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v not_o decrease_v and_o then_o by_o what_o mean_v it_o be_v drain_v and_o last_o how_o it_o may_v be_v prevent_v and_o what_o remedy_n be_v appliable_a to_o effect_v it_o it_o be_v out_o of_o doubt_v our_o gold_n be_v go_v to_o travail_v without_o licence_n that_o be_v visible_a beyond_o sea_n and_o every_o receiver_n of_o sum_n of_o money_n must_v find_v it_o private_o and_o i_o fear_v the_o same_o of_o silver_n for_o observe_v the_o species_n of_o late_a coin_v many_o half_a crown_n be_v stamp_v which_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v see_v and_o by_o this_o measure_n i_o conclude_v the_o kingdom_n grow_v poor_a the_o cause_n of_o this_o decay_n of_o money_n may_v be_v many_o it_o may_v be_v steal_v out_o for_o profit_n go_v

every_o one_o more_o than_o the_o interest_n of_o a_o year_n and_o the_o great_a danger_n to_o a_o state_n be_v when_o money_n be_v make_v merchandise_n which_o shall_v be_v but_o the_o measure_n thereof_o and_o here_o i_o will_v propose_v a_o problem_n whether_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o a_o kingdom_n or_o not_o that_o the_o stranger_n for_o many_o year_n have_v a_o great_a stock_n here_o at_o interest_n and_o still_o have_v some_o i_o confess_v it_o have_v supply_v the_o necessity_n of_o merchant_n and_o help_v to_o drive_v trade_n but_o my_o quaere_fw-la be_v this_o suppose_v the_o
