A59914	Some proposals, by a merchant, touching the coin	Sherman, Edmund, 17th cent.	1696 (1696)	Wing S3383A; ESTC R219099	4,111	5

some_o proposal_n by_o a_o merchant_n touch_v the_o coin_n great_a obstruction_n in_o trade_n and_o in_o receive_v the_o king_n revenue_n arise_v from_o these_o two_o objection_n first_o that_o money_n be_v clip_v or_o mix_v metal_n or_o not_o sterling_a second_o that_o the_o government_n have_v not_o appoint_v any_o person_n or_o any_o certain_a way_n for_o tradesman_n and_o collector_n of_o the_o king_n revenue_n easy_o to_o know_v which_o be_v sterling_a wherefore_o to_o prevent_v further_o clip_v and_o to_o make_v money_n pass_v with_o more_o certainty_n and_o to_o promote_v trade_n and_o ease_n in_o collect_v the_o king_n revenue_n and_o as_o some_o present_a remedy_n till_o silver_n can_v be_v have_v and_o new_a money_n coin_v it_o be_v propose_v first_o that_o all_o old_a money_n as_o well_o clip_v as_o unclipped_a that_o be_v now_o or_o shall_v be_v by_o some_o short_a time_n bring_v into_o the_o exchequer_n to_o have_v immediate_o stamp_v the_o exact_a weight_n upon_o each_o piece_n what_o it_o weigh_v and_o also_o such_o other_o mark_v stamp_v upon_o it_o to_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v such_o sterling_a money_n as_o shall_v pass_v as_o the_o government_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o have_v sterling_a money_n distinguish_v and_o know_v by_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v enact_v that_o all_o such_o money_n so_o stamp_v and_o mark_v may_v pass_v for_o sterling_n crown_n half-crown_n shilling_n or_o six-pence_n as_o they_o be_v coin_v for_o but_o to_o pass_v only_o so_o long_o as_o each_o piece_n continue_v of_o such_o weight_n as_o be_v so_o stamp_a upon_o it_o but_o yet_o only_o till_o such_o a_o time_n to_o be_v mention_v as_o can_v be_v think_v new_a money_n can_v be_v coin_v and_o after_o such_o a_o day_n the_o exchequer_n oblige_v to_o take_v in_o again_o all_o that_o continue_v of_o such_o a_o weight_n as_o be_v so_o stamp_a upon_o it_o by_o this_o the_o exchequer_n lose_v nothing_o because_o the_o exchequer_n receive_v none_o back_o that_o be_v of_o less_o weight_n than_o it_o be_v stamp_v for_o when_o deliver_v out_o this_o will_v furnish_v we_o with_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o money_n to_o circulate_v for_o present_a till_o we_o can_v have_v bullion_n to_o coin_n for_o this_o way_n of_o new_a stamp_v can_v be_v soon_o do_v than_o new_a coin_n and_o may_v require_v more_o silver_n to_o coin_v the_o same_o quantity_n of_o new_a money_n if_o we_o shall_v re-coin_n it_o haste_v and_o speed_v in_o bring_v out_o money_n that_o will_v pass_v be_v in_o this_o juncture_n almost_o as_o necessary_a as_o money_n itself_o and_o by_o thus_o stamp_v the_o present_a weight_n upon_o each_o piece_n we_o shall_v prevent_v its_o further_a clip_v because_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o take_v such_o money_n as_o be_v tender_v with_o less_o weight_n than_o be_v stamp_v upon_o it_o second_o that_o encouragement_n be_v give_v to_o bring_v out_o all_o old_a broad_a money_n which_o also_o must_v be_v do_v with_o some_o certainty_n of_o weight_n because_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o it_o wherefore_o let_v the_o old_a broad_a money_n be_v all_o bring_v into_o the_o exchequer_n to_o have_v the_o mark_v for_o sterling_n put_v upon_o it_o and_o on_o each_o piece_n its_o exact_a weight_n and_o than_o it_o may_v be_v enact_v that_o all_o such_o old_a money_n so_o mark_v for_o sterling_n and_o of_o such_o and_o such_o weight_n shall_v pass_v for_o so_o much_o more_o as_o the_o government_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o enact_v it_o to_o pass_v for_o as_o suppose_v the_o shilling_n of_o such_o weight_n for_o 12_o ½_n d._n 13_o d._n 13_o ½_n d._n to_o be_v stamp_v upon_o it_o according_a to_o its_o weight_n and_o also_o the_o old_a crown_n half-crown_n and_o six-pence_n all_o pro_fw-la rato_fw-la more_fw-mi or_o less_o as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a according_a to_o its_o weight_n every_o man_n will_v ready_o bring_v in_o his_o money_n to_o be_v so_o stamp_v and_o take_v a_o tally_n for_o it_o though_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o exchequer_n fourteen_o day_n or_o a_o month_n before_o he_o get_v his_o individial_a money_n out_o again_o without_o interest_n because_o in_o a_o month_n time_n the_o same_o money_n shall_v be_v deliver_v again_o to_o 〈◊〉_d that_o have_v such_o a_o tally_n which_o tally_n may_v be_v make_v saleable_a or_o transferrable_a with_o a_o stamp_n of_o 5_o 6_o or_o 8_o per_fw-la cent._n or_o more_o value_n as_o the_o government_n shall_v think_v fit_a thus_o he_o that_o bring_v in_o the_o broad_a money_n shall_v have_v the_o great_a value_n stamp_v upon_o it_o in_o proportion_n to_o its_o weight_n whereas_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o mint_n to_o be_v coin_v each_o man_n can_v have_v his_o money_n so_o soon_o out_o of_o the_o mint_n as_o it_o may_v be_v by_o thus_o stamp_v but_o this_o broad_a money_n also_o to_o pass_v by_o the_o new_a stamp_n only_o until_o such_o a_o certain_a day_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o be_v enact_v always_o provide_v that_o the_o say_v broad_a money_n be_v not_o diminish_v of_o the_o weight_n so_o stamp_v upon_o it_o and_o then_o the_o exchequer_n to_o take_v it_o in_o again_o on_o such_o certain_a day_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a thrid_o that_o encouragement_n be_v give_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o bring_v out_o all_o old_a mill_v money_n by_o enact_v that_o milled_a money_n shall_v pass_v for_o some_o certain_a rate_n more_o than_o it_o be_v coin_v for_o but_o yet_o only_o till_o such_o time_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a wherein_o a_o consideration_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o what_o time_n all_o the_o old_a money_n as_o well_o clip_v as_o broad_n can_v be_v new_o coin_v or_o other_o silver_n into_o new_a money_n and_o to_o make_v the_o time_n for_o pass_v the_o milled_a money_n according_o and_o that_o a_o clause_n be_v bring_v in_o to_o fix_v a_o day_n that_o after_o ●uch_v a_o day_n no_o old_a money_n clip_v or_o unclipped_a otherwise_o than_o milled_a money_n shall_v pass_v in_o payment_n that_o so_o we_o may_v once_o see_v a_o end_n of_o all_o old_a money_n and_o have_v nothing_o but_o new_a and_o old_a mill_v money_n and_o if_o

money_n by_o weight_n it_o will_v for_o ever_o infallible_o destroy_v the_o clip_v trade_n for_o which_o so_o many_o have_v be_v hang_v object_n this_o will_v give_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o trouble_n to_o weigh_v every_o piece_n of_o money_n we_o take_v answer_v i._o he_o that_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o trouble_n of_o weigh_v deserve_v to_o be_v the_o only_a person_n that_o can_v suffer_v by_o want_n of_o weight_n ii_o be_v we_o not_o better_o undergo_v the_o trouble_n of_o weigh_v and_o so_o know_v the_o true_a value_n of_o what_o we_o have_v than_o be_v at_o the_o vast_a loss_n and_o

or_o 100_o or_o more_o piece_n of_o a_o sort_n and_o then_o put_v all_o together_o they_o take_v here_o and_o there_o 5_o 10_o 17_o or_o 20_o piece_n and_o weigh_v so_o many_o together_o and_o what_o such_o a_o quantity_n want_v in_o weight_n they_o judge_v and_o pass_v or_o refuse_v the_o whole_a if_o the_o man_n that_o pay_v it_o do_v not_o by_o so_o much_o over_o money_n make_v good_a the_o

instant_a the_o more_o earnest_o to_o press_v that_o all_o money_n may_v pass_v by_o weight_n because_o within_o these_o two_o day_n i_o have_v

see_v in_o presence_n of_o the_o treasurer_n of_o the_o tu●key-company_n 13_o shilling_n of_o the_o clip_v money_n in_o one_o scale_n and_o a_o mill_v five_o shilling_n piece_n in_o another_o scale_n and_o the_o five_o shilling_n piece_n of_o milled_a money_n but_o weigh_v the_o 13_o shilling_n this_o the_o author_n aver_v to_o be_v true_a the_o 13_o shilling_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v mix_v metal_n by_o which_o you_o may_v calculate_v what_o great_a damage_n the_o king_n may_v lose_v by_o such_o sort_n of_o coin_n all_o this_o be_v intend_v for_o public_a good_a and_o if_o i_o be_v assure_v that_o what_o ever_o i_o shall_v ask_v touch_v the_o coin_n shall_v be_v do_v i_o will_v only_o say_v let_v it_o pass_v by_o weight_n as_o the_o only_a desire_n of_o edmond_n sherman_n postscript_n since_o the_o abovementioned_a i_o hear_v some_o discourse_n that_o if_o the_o king_n will_v order_n all_o such_o as_o pay_v tax_n custom_n and_o excise_n in_o milled_a money_n to_o have_v 10_o per_fw-la cent._n abate_v by_o the_o collector_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v pay_v out_o again_o at_o the_o old_a rate_n it_o be_v coin_v for_o and_o this_o be_v by_o some_o offer_v as_o a_o expedient_a to_o bring_v out_o mill_v money_n to_o circulate_v immediate_o to_o which_o it_o may_v be_v object_v the_o difficulty_n for_o the_o exchequer_n to_o account_v with_o every_o

of_o time_n for_o every_o man_n will_v bring_v out_o his_o milled_a money_n but_o as_o his_o tax_n grow_v due_a it_o will_v put_v the_o king_n upon_o 10_o per_fw-la cent._n loss_n immediate_o on_o all_o his_o revenue_n and_o yet_o far_o great_a loss_n follow_v for_o as_o the_o collector_n receive_v it_o he_o must_v pay_v it_o into_o the_o exchequer_n and_o the_o public_a affair_n will_v require_v it_o to_o be_v pay_v out_o again_o presenly_a and_o if_o it_o be_v pay_v at_o the_o old_a rate_n it_o will_v so_o speedy_o come_v into_o people_n hand_n that_o every_o one_o will_n four_o time_n a_o year_n pay_v his_o tax_n with_o 10_o per_fw-la cent._n abatement_n nay_o perhaps_o 40_o time_n over_o in_o excise_n &_o custom_n because_o man_n be_v daily_o pay_v those_o duty_n whereby_o a_o vast_a loss_n may_v happen_v in_o twelve_o month_n whereas_o by_o the_o method_n propose_v in_o this_o paper_n every_o man_n shall_v as_o well_o as_o the_o exchequer_n take_v and_o pay_v his_o
