and_o commerce_n abroad_o for_o proof_n whereof_o i_o shall_v appeal_v to_o the_o historical_a part_n of_o mr._n lounds_o his_o book_n as_o to_o the_o frequent_a alteration_n of_o the_o standard_n

it_o be_v as_o evident_a that_o whatever_o the_o value_n of_o the_o coin_n be_v more_o or_o less_o it_o will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n according_a to_o the_o price_n currant_n of_o it_o as_o to_o our_o home_n commerce_n for_o instance_n if_o our_o shilling_n be_v above_o the_o standard_n of_o all_o other_o nation_n and_o worth_a thirteen_o penny_n abroad_o as_o it_o have_v be_v for_o many_o

while_o our_o clip_v money_n pass_v and_o no_o discountenance_n put_v upon_o it_o we_o find_v no_o such_o rise_n of_o commodity_n or_o fall_v of_o our_o rent_n or_o damage_n to_o the_o subject_a in_o

according_a to_o the_o scarcity_n plenty_n or_o vent_v and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o value_n but_o denomination_n of_o money_n for_o these_o three_o year_n last_o pass_v before_o the_o project_n of_o recoining_a our_o money_n be_v set_v on_o foot_n which_o possible_o have_v of_o late_o make_v some_o alteration_n in_o these_o commodity_n also_o this_o indeed_o must_v be_v allow_v that_o when_o the_o standard_n of_o coin_n be_v by_o public_a authority_n for_o perpetuity_n alter_v from_o twenty_o penny_n to_o sixty_o two_o in_o point_n of_o denomination_n but_o not_o in_o weight_n or_o

notwithstanding_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n be_v much_o on_o our_o side_n and_o have_v put_v a_o absolute_a stop_n to_o our_o mint_n as_o to_o silver_n for_o many_o year_n past_a and_o bring_v

although_o it_o be_v desirable_a be_v we_o in_o better_a circumstance_n as_o to_o the_o balance_n of_o our_o trade_n that_o our_o silver_n money_n shall_v be_v keep_v up_o in_o weight_n and_o finess_n near_o the_o intrinsic_a value_n of_o bullion_n or_o at_o least_o the_o standard_n of_o our_o neighbour_n coin_n yet_o it_o ought_v always_o to_o below_o rather_o then_o above_o it_o to_o prevent_v the_o exportation_n of_o money_n instead_o of_o commodity_n and_o to_o bring_v bullion_n into_o the_o mint_n especial_o since_o the_o plenty_n of_o the_o species_n of_o money_n be_v the_o only_a

of_o our_o silver_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o gold_n and_o the_o over_o balance_n of_o our_o deal_n abroad_o if_o you_o will_v have_v any_o money_n at_o home_n to_o support_v commerce_n nor_o can_v

be_v too_o prodigal_a and_o encourage_v the_o advance_n and_o consumption_n of_o our_o own_o commodity_n and_o keep_v our_o money_n at_o home_n which_o will_v be_v the_o least_o thing_n carry_v out_o when_o it_o will_v pass_v for_o more_o here_o than_o there_o as_o for_o guineas_n the_o fall_n of_o they_o be_v not_o only_o unnecessary_a but_o high_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o kingdom_n first_o because_o guineas_n have_v buy_v up_o all_o the_o silver_n money_n that_o be_v leave_v in_o the_o country_n and_o consequent_o leave_v we_o no_o other_o coin_n to_o carry_v on_o trade_n and_o subsistance_n and_o after_o the_o raise_n of_o seven_o million_o will_v be_v a_o tax_n of_o eight_o shilling_n and_o sixpence_n upon_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o plenty_n of_o silver_n money_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o will_v reduce_v they_o gradual_o to_o conclude_v as_o to_o our_o forigne_a commerce_n the_o price_n of_o our_o commodity_n be_v raise_v according_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o hurt_v we_o now_o if_o guineas_n fall_v all_o commodity_n must_v fall_v and_o the_o want_n of_o fix_v they_o at_o a_o certain_a price_n will_v cause_v a_o mighty_a loss_n and_o interruption_n
