A33407	A Dialogue between a countrey gentleman and a merchant concerning the falling of guinea's wherein the whole agrument relating to our money is discuss'd.	Clement, Simon.	1696 (1696)	Wing C4637; ESTC R35647	12,238	23

furnish_v he_o with_o bill_n have_v as_o much_o more_o money_n in_o tale_n as_o will_v make_v good_a the_o old_a weight_n because_o he_o must_v pay_v by_o that_o weight_n abroad_o and_o be_v it_o not_o then_o plain_a that_o this_o part_n of_o the_o king_n money_n will_v fall_v short_a by_o one_o three_o part_n of_o a_o million_o and_o must_v not_o this_o natural_o heighten_v the_o next_o year_n tax_n thus_o than_o it_o must_v affect_v we_o at_o home_n and_o i_o think_v i_o need_v use_v no_o more_o word_n to_o show_v you_o that_o foreigner_n do_v not_o at_o all_o regard_n the_o raise_v the_o denomination_n of_o the_o coin_n of_o their_o neighbour_n and_o will_v never_o esteem_v it_o otherwise_o than_o by_o its_o weight_n for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o great_a folly_n to_o think_v if_o as_o be_v beforesaid_a we_o shall_v continue_v to_o have_v occasion_n to_o use_v more_o money_n in_o foreign_a country_n than_o we_o can_v put_v there_o by_o the_o produce_v of_o our_o trade_n that_o we_o can_v avoid_v send_v so_o much_o silver_n or_o gold_n as_o will_v make_v up_o the_o balance_n in_o its_o value_n by_o weight_n although_o we_o shall_v double_v or_o treble_a the_o denomination_n of_o our_o coin_n among_o ourselves_o gent._n but_o sir_n as_o you_o have_v ground_v the_o main_a of_o the_o argument_n upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o our_o good_n will_v continue_v to_o be_v buy_v for_o the_o same_o number_n of_o pound_n shilling_n and_o penny_n as_o before_o the_o raise_n of_o the_o money_n suppose_v we_o raise_v our_o commodity_n proportionable_o and_o make_v the_o stranger_n pay_v 12_o s._n for_o a_o yard_n of_o the_o same_o cloth_n he_o buy_v before_o for_o 10_o s._n shall_v we_o not_o then_o keep_v up_o our_o market_n abroad_o and_o bring_v home_o as_o much_o silver_n for_o our_o manufacture_n as_o before_o and_o will_v not_o all_o thing_n run_v as_o smooth_v at_o home_n when_o we_o sell_v every_o thing_n from_o one_o to_o another_o as_o much_o high_a in_o price_n as_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o money_n merch._n what_o good_a will_v it_o then_o do_v we_o to_o raise_v the_o denomination_n of_o our_o money_n if_o we_o must_v then_o give_v just_a so_o much_o more_o for_o every_o thing_n we_o buy_v be_v not_o this_o puzzle_v ourselves_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o worse_o effect_v but_o i_o think_v i_o have_v show_v you_o clear_o that_o all_o our_o debt_n the_o rent_n arise_v from_o land_n leass_v out_o the_o king_n revenue_n etc._n etc._n will_v then_o be_v pay_v in_o so_o much_o a_o less_o proportion_n of_o silver_n and_o then_o the_o king_n creditor_n and_o land-holders_n will_v be_v in_o a_o fine_a condition_n when_o they_o must_v receive_v all_o that_o be_v due_a to_o they_o in_o a_o lesser_a value_n and_o yet_o pay_v the_o old_a value_n for_o all_o they_o buy_v will_v not_o this_o be_v plain_o the_o do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o injustice_n and_o injury_n to_o a_o great_a many_o and_o do_v real_a good_a to_o none_o but_o yet_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o sir_n it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o it_o will_v be_v more_o likely_a that_o our_o product_n and_o manufacture_n will_v by_o degree_n fall_v to_o the_o old_a denomination_n of_o price_n for_o that_o i_o have_v observe_v it_o to_o have_v have_v that_o consequence_n in_o other_o nation_n where_o this_o trick_n of_o raise_v their_o money_n have_v be_v practise_v and_o shall_v we_o not_o then_o infallible_o fall_v under_o the_o mischief_n of_o begger_v ourselves_o as_o i_o have_v former_o show_v you_o gent._n i_o must_v confess_v this_o raise_n our_o money_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v attend_v with_o many_o inconvenience_n with_o respect_n to_o ourselves_o but_o i_o have_v be_v tell_v the_o nation_n be_v great_o in_o debt_n to_o foreigner_n who_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o carry_v away_o our_o new_a money_n as_o fast_o as_o coin_v to_o pay_v themselves_o shall_v we_o not_o by_o this_o mean_n prevent_v they_o and_o by_o pay_v our_o debt_n with_o less_o money_n save_v so_o much_o to_o the_o nation_n merch._n if_o we_o be_v in_o debt_n to_o foreigner_n we_o be_v doubtless_o oblige_v to_o they_o for_o the_o credit_n they_o have_v give_v we_o and_o ought_v we_o not_o in_o prudence_n as_o well_o as_o justice_n to_o be_v tender_a in_o preserve_v that_o credit_n lest_o if_o we_o shall_v ever_o hereafter_o have_v the_o like_a occasion_n we_o shall_v find_v no_o nation_n that_o will_v trust_v we_o doubtless_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a care_n of_o government_n to_o prevent_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a the_o run_n into_o debt_n but_o if_o such_o debt_n be_v once_o contract_v it_o high_o concern_v they_o that_o they_o be_v discharge_v punctual_o just_o and_o honourable_o otherwise_o they_o lose_v their_o reputation_n with_o all_o the_o world_n as_o a_o great_a nation_n that_o may_v be_v name_v have_v too_o apparent_o do_v it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v that_o some_o foreigner_n have_v be_v large_a contributor_n towards_o the_o great_a sum_n that_o have_v be_v pay_v into_o our_o exchequer_n upon_o the_o million_o adventure_n the_o life_n and_o other_o fund_n and_o all_o that_o money_n be_v pay_v in_o fair_a and_o true_a value_n before_o the_o cheat_n of_o guinea_n and_o the_o advance_v the_o exchange_n neither_o can_v these_o people_n withdraw_v this_o money_n as_o be_v suggest_v for_o they_o can_v only_o receive_v the_o interest_n accrue_v by_o it_o as_o it_o come_v in_o gradual_o can_v any_o man_n then_o that_o have_v the_o least_o regard_n to_o justice_n and_o honour_n entertain_v so_o base_a a_o thought_n as_o to_o persuade_v the_o break_n through_o the_o sanction_n of_o our_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o falsify_v our_o contract_n that_o we_o may_v pay_v these_o people_n in_o money_n of_o a_o less_o value_n than_o they_o real_o bring_v we_o i_o must_v indeed_o confess_v that_o our_o nation_n have_v be_v great_o abuse_v by_o the_o bring_n in_o gold_n and_o the_o extravagance_n of_o the_o exchange_n this_o last_o summer_n but_o i_o be_o much_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o those_o trader_n keep_v turn_v the_o penny_n and_o continual_o send_v effect_n for_o the_o carry_v on_o the_o trade_n so_o that_o i_o hope_v though_o it_o cost_v we_o dear_a yet_o that_o we_o can_v remain_v much_o in_o debt_n for_o that_o and_o to_o speak_v my_o mind_n i_o believe_v if_o the_o truth_n be_v know_v that_o trade_n be_v chief_o manage_v for_o the_o account_n of_o native_n of_o our_o own_o country_n and_o foreigner_n that_o live_v among_o we_o and_o not_o of_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o water_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o argue_v against_o our_o take_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o person_n that_o have_v injure_v we_o yet_o i_o think_v we_o be_v better_o let_v they_o alone_o till_o we_o can_v find_v they_o out_o than_o seek_v such_o a_o general_a revenge_n that_o may_v fall_v least_o upon_o they_o and_o do_v more_o hurt_n to_o those_o kind_a neighbour_n that_o have_v do_v we_o good_a by_o trust_v we_o with_o their_o estate_n and_o most_o of_o all_o to_o ourselves_o by_o plunge_v we_o into_o those_o fatal_a mischief_n which_o i_o have_v before_o note_v gent._n sir_n i_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o you_o have_v very_o much_o open_v my_o understanding_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o i_o be_o now_o full_o convince_v that_o it_o will_v be_v ruinous_a to_o we_o to_o raise_v our_o silver_n and_o no_o less_o to_o hold_v up_o guinea_n high_a than_o 21_o s._n 6_o d._n if_o that_o be_v as_o you_o say_v about_o the_o proportion_n that_o other_o country_n keep_v between_o they_o but_o pray_v sir_n be_v there_o then_o no_o way_n for_o we_o to_o keep_v our_o army_n abroad_o and_o avoid_v the_o send_n out_o of_o our_o silver_n or_o gold_n to_o maintain_v they_o merch._n if_o we_o can_v furnish_v our_o army_n with_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o provision_n they_o need_v abroad_o protect_v our_o foreign_a trade_n lessen_v our_o expense_n of_o foreign_a commodity_n which_o i_o will_v earnest_o recommend_v to_o all_o gentleman_n to_o reform_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a in_o their_o own_o family_n and_o manage_v all_o our_o affair_n with_o such_o good_a husbandry_n as_o to_o bring_v all_o our_o foreign_a charge_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o value_n which_o we_o can_v put_v into_o foreign_a country_n by_o the_o exportation_n of_o our_o merchandize_n we_o may_v do_v it_o otherwise_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o whole_a matter_n of_o bring_v silver_n into_o the_o kingdom_n or_o carry_v it_o out_o may_v be_v resolve_v by_o this_o easy_a thought_n if_o we_o live_v within_o the_o bound_n of_o our_o export_n we_o can_v send_v out_o our_o money_n unless_o we_o will_v give_v it_o away_o for_o nothing_o
