as_o by_o our_o royal_a prerogative_n we_o have_v power_n to_o establish_v or_o alter_v the_o matter_n of_o coin_n either_o native_a or_o foreign_a within_o our_o dominion_n from_o time_n to_o time_n as_o we_o shall_v find_v fit_a for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o subject_n and_o our_o royal_a ancestor_n have_v be_v in_o constant_a use_n to_o raise_v and_o exalt_v the_o extrinsic_a value_n of_o the_o

as_o particular_o in_o the_o year_n 1591._o the_o value_n of_o the_o ounce_n of_o coin_v silver_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v forty_o two_o shilling_n scot_n be_v of_o eleven_o denier_n fine_a which_o

of_o the_o export_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o stock_n of_o our_o own_o coin_n and_o whereof_o merchandise_n have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o make_v and_o the_o same_o species_n melt_v down_o by_o foreign_a mint_n and_o goldsmith_n and_o import_v again_o in_o foreign_a species_n much_o below_o our_o own_o coin_n both_o in_o weight_n and_o fineness_n whereby_o our_o authority_n have_v be_v

considerable_a of_o the_o merchant_n of_o this_o our_o kingdom_n have_v make_v their_o application_n to_o our_o privy_a council_n and_o propose_v as_o a_o fit_a expedient_a that_o our_o four_o mark_n piece_n may_v be_v appoint_v to_o be_v current_n proportional_o to_o the_o intrinsic_a value_n thereof_o and_o the_o best_a of_o the_o foreign_a current_a coin_n who_o have_v have_v the_o same_o

species_n of_o coin_n tolerate_v to_o be_v current_n and_o find_v that_o at_o the_o rate_n of_o the_o ounce_n of_o silver_n now_o current_a in_o other_o country_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o our_o coin_n be_v in_o some_o proportion_n with_o they_o in_o the_o extrinsic_a value_n we_o therefore_o with_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o our_o privy_a council_n do_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v that_o in_o time_n come_v the_o ounce_n of_o our_o own_o money_n shall_v be_v in_o value_n three_o pound_n four_o shilling_n scots_a money_n and_o to_o that_o effect_n do_v ordain_v that_o the_o four_o mark_v piece_n which_o be_v now_o current_a at_o fifty_o three_o shilling_n four_o penny_n shall_v hereafter_o be_v current_n at_o fifty_o six_o shilling_n and_o the_o inferior_a species_n of_o that_o coin_n viz._n the_o two_o mark_v merk_n half_a mark_fw-mi and_o fourty-penny-piece_n proportionable_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v most_o just_a that_o now_o see_v we_o have_v advance_v the_o value_n of_o our_o coin_n as_o aforesaid_a the_o merchant_n ought_v to_o have_v enccuragement_n to_o bring_v in_o their_o bulzeon_n with_o great_a cheerfulness_n we_o do_v ordain_v that_o whereas_o they_o do_v receive_v for_o each_o ounce_n of_o silver_n pay_v in_o by_o they_o as_o bulzeon_n of_o eleven_o denier_n fine_a fifty_o five_o shilling_n nine_o penny_n scot_n the_o master_n of_o the_o mint_n
