a_o brief_a remonstrance_n touch_v the_o pre-emption_a of_o tyn_n and_o the_o coynage_n thereof_o april_n the_o 25._o among_o the_o many_o temptation_n that_o all_o prince_n and_o power_n be_v expose_v to_o this_o be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o their_o liableness_n to_o receive_v false_a representation_n of_o thing_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o profit_n and_o advantage_n from_o person_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v use_n of_o such_o pretence_n to_o promote_v some_o low_a or_o base_a interest_n of_o their_o own_o or_o sometime_o do_v it_o ignorant_o not_o know_v or_o consider_v the_o whole_a or_o the_o circumstance_n which_o may_v complete_a the_o truth_n of_o such_o relation_n but_o so_o much_o as_o may_v hold_v forth_o the_o pretend_a profit_n suppose_v that_o will_v be_v grateful_a in_o itself_o and_o they_o may_v possible_o ingratiate_v themselves_o thereby_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o temptation_n and_o such_o suggestion_n it_o have_v also_o be_v the_o unhappiness_n of_o the_o poor_a tynners_n of_o cornwall_n upon_o every_o new_a change_n of_o government_n or_o power_n in_o this_o nation_n which_o have_v be_v many_o within_o these_o few_o year_n still_o to_o be_v interrupt_v and_o call_v off_o from_o their_o hard_a labour_n and_o employment_n to_o answer_v to_o the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o preemption_n and_o coynage_n of_o their_o tyn_n as_o if_o of_o all_o man_n the_o poor_a tynners_n be_v bear_v slave_n and_o what_o be_v a_o monopoly_n in_o the_o case_n of_o any_o other_o native_a be_v none_o in_o they_o but_o be_v bear_v in_o chain_n never_o to_o be_v shake_v off_o must_v entail_v they_o to_o posterity_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n now_o the_o endeavour_n of_o this_o paper_n shall_v be_v to_o undeceive_v and_o right_o to_o inform_v all_o such_o as_o have_v only_o look_v into_o this_o business_n through_o the_o wrong_a medium_n before_o mention_v and_o to_o set_v preemption_n and_o coynage_n upon_o their_o true_a basis_n and_o foundation_n which_o to_o do_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o lay_v down_o first_o the_o original_a of_o preemption_n its_o foundation_n and_o bound_n second_o what_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o and_o its_o own_o nature_n three_o what_o have_v be_v the_o judgement_n of_o every_o age_n concern_v preemption_n when_o it_o be_v in_o use_n since_o it_o have_v a_o name_n in_o england_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o speak_v of_o coynage_n and_o for_o the_o first_o it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v by_o any_o be_v so_o evident_a by_o divers_a ancient_a author_n and_o record_n that_o there_o be_v tynners_n and_n tyn-worker_n before_o the_o conquest_n yea_o in_o augustus_n caesar_n time_n as_o judge_n dodridge_n report_v out_o of_o diodorus_n siculus_n and_o therefore_o they_o owe_v not_o their_o liberty_n and_o privilege_n of_o dig_v for_o tyn_n to_o any_o of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n but_o that_o they_o have_v it_o ab_fw-la initio_fw-la and_o by_o prescription_n which_o do_v also_o appear_v by_o divers_a word_n in_o some_o of_o their_o ancient_a charter_n as_o sicut_fw-la ab_fw-la antiquo_fw-la consuetudine_fw-la &_o sicut_fw-la hactenus_fw-la usitatum_fw-la john_n charter_n of_o k._n john_n etc._n etc._n but_o as_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o the_o most_o specious_a and_o probable_a foundation_n of_o preemption_n be_v from_o that_o clause_n in_o the_o charter_n grant_v to_o the_o tynners_n by_o king_n edward_n the_o first_o anno_fw-la 32._o of_o nisi_fw-la nos_fw-la vel_fw-la haeredes_fw-la nostri_fw-la stannum_fw-la illud_fw-la emere_fw-la volumus_fw-la there_o be_v find_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o word_n in_o elder_a time_n nor_o ever_o any_o grant_n of_o the_o emption_n of_o tyn_n till_o after_o this_o charter_n now_o how_o far_o this_o clause_n may_v rational_o extend_v first_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o it_o amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o a_o benefit_n and_o preferment_n of_o buy_v the_o tyn_n before_o any_o subject_a at_o the_o price_n currant_n or_o as_o the_o king_n and_o they_o can_v agree_v as_o it_o be_v full_o express_v in_o brighams_n patent_n when_o after_o near_o two_o hundred_o year_n sleep_v it_o be_v revive_v in_o the_o three_o and_o forty_o year_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n which_o have_v be_v public_o and_o often_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o council_n that_o heretofore_o plead_v for_o preemption_n and_o that_o this_o clause_n can_v well_o be_v extend_v further_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o reason_n and_o the_o very_a construction_n which_o the_o word_n in_o that_o charter_n will_v bear_v which_o immediate_o precede_v this_o clause_n which_o be_v these_o et_fw-la quod_fw-la omnes_fw-la stannatores_fw-la nostri_fw-la stann_n '_o illud_fw-la sic_fw-la ponderatum_fw-la licite_fw-la

usitatas_fw-la nisi_fw-la nos_fw-la vel_fw-la haeredes_fw-la nostri_fw-la etc._n etc._n by_o which_o they_o have_v leave_v to_o sell_v their_o tyn_n to_o who_o they_o will_v unless_o the_o king_n will_v buy_v it_o and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o must_v buy_v as_o they_o can_v sell_v which_o be_v to_o who_o they_o will_v or_o that_o offer_v most_o otherwise_o the_o first_o and_o last_o clause_n will_v seem_v to_o sigh_o one_o against_o another_o and_o this_o will_v more_o full_o appear_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o word_n itself_o for_o he_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n reserve_v in_o this_o clause_n be_v preemption_n now_o all_o emption_n do_v presuppose_v a_o contract_n and_o as_o there_o be_v a_o correlation_n between_o the_o contractor_n and_o the_o contractee_n so_o in_o every_o contract_n of_o emption_n the_o law_n of_o nation_n require_v two_o thing_n first_o a_o voluntary_a and_o mutual_a consent_n of_o two_o party_n the_o buyer_n and_o the_o seller_n and_o then_o the_o tynner_n can_v be_v compel_v to_o sell_v his_o tyn_n against_o his_o will_n and_o second_o a_o proportion_n of_o price_n to_o the_o value_n of_o the_o commodity_n and_o then_o the_o king_n of_o england_n can_v never_o impose_v a_o price_n upon_o their_o tyn_n and_o consequent_o can_v not_o take_v it_o at_o their_o own_o price_n by_o any_o warrant_n in_o this_o clause_n and_o so_o much_o may_v suffice_v to_o clear_v the_o original_a foundation_n and_o bound_n of_o preemption_n second_o it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o preemption_n in_o this_o its_o primitive_a institution_n and_o native_a colour_n be_v nevertheless_o a_o monopoly_n for_o that_o it_o ingross_v the_o most_o staple_n and_o native_a commodity_n of_o this_o nation_n into_o particular_a hand_n viz._n the_o king_n farmer_n who_o be_v to_o have_v the_o sole_a managery_n thereof_o to_o the_o prejudice_n not_o only_o of_o all_o the_o other_o merchant_n and_o people_n of_o the_o nation_n who_o have_v a_o equal_a right_n to_o the_o emption_n and_o transportation_n thereof_o but_o also_o of_o the_o tynners_n themselves_o who_o can_v be_v merchant_n of_o their_o own_o good_n but_o be_v bound_v to_o a_o price_n which_o they_o must_v acquiesce_v in_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o farm_n though_o their_o commodity_n come_v to_o be_v worth_a double_a in_o the_o nation_n and_o abroad_o during_o that_o time_n three_o as_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o every_o age_n since_o that_o charter_n concern_v preemption_n when_o it_o be_v in_o use_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o though_o there_o have_v be_v but_o few_o precedent_n for_o it_o not_o so_o many_o as_o for_o ship-money_n and_o but_o few_o grant_v make_v of_o the_o emption_n of_o tyn_n by_o some_o of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o those_o still_o at_o the_o prize_n which_o be_v then_o currant_n and_o never_o impose_v for_o they_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v there_o never_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v urge_v in_o any_o age_n till_o of_o late_a the_o impose_v of_o a_o price_n upon_o the_o tynners_n good_n yet_o seldom_o or_o never_o be_v there_o any_o such_o grant_n but_o they_o be_v from_o first_o to_o last_o complain_v of_o as_o oppression_n and_o so_o present_v in_o succeed_a parliament_n yea_o common_o make_v null_n and_o revoke_v by_o those_o king_n that_o grant_v they_o whereof_o you_o may_v take_v a_o short_a view_n in_o these_o particular_a instance_n the_o first_o grant_v find_v after_o this_o charter_n of_o 32_o edw._n 1._o be_v make_v by_o his_o son_n edward_z the_o
