A48882	Further considerations concerning raising the value of money wherein Mr. Lowndes's arguments for it in his late Report concerning an essay for the amendment of the silver coins, are particularly examined.	Locke, John, 1632-1704.	1695 (1695)	Wing L2745; ESTC R23043	55,764	130

by_o the_o mill_n it_o matter_n not_o how_o the_o mark_n or_o stamp_v of_o our_o crown_n our_o shilling_n and_o our_o threepence_n can_v any_o body_n say_v that_o now_o they_o have_v get_v the_o

only_a one_o of_o the_o other_o piece_n be_v now_o worth_n they_o all_o three_o which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o a_o ounce_n of_o uncoined_a silver_n be_v worth_a a_o ounce_n and_o a_o quarter_n of_o coin_v this_o be_v what_o man_n will_v persuade_v we_o when_o they_o say_v that_o bullion_n be_v raise_v to_o 6_o s._n 5_o d._n of_o lawful_a money_n the_o ounce_n which_o i_o say_v be_v utter_o impossible_a let_v we_o consider_v this_o a_o little_a far_o in_o a_o other_o instance_n the_o present_a mill_v crown_n piece_n say_v they_o will_v not_o exchange_v for_o a_o once_o of_o bullion_n without_o the_o addition_n of_o a_o shilling_n and_o a_o threepence_n of_o weighty_a coin_n add_v to_o it_o coin_v but_o that_o crown_n piece_n into_o 6_o s._n and_o 3_o d._n and_o then_o they_o say_v it_o will_v buy_v a_o ounce_n of_o bullion_n or_o else_o they_o give_v up_o their_o reason_n and_o measure_n of_o raise_v the_o money_n do_v that_o which_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v equivalent_a to_o

after_o all_o this_o disorder_n and_o a_o thousand_o other_o come_v from_o light_n and_o unlawful_a money_n be_v current_n for_o than_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o bullion_n shall_v be_v keep_v

clip_a money_n pay_v for_o it_o do_v not_o weigh_v above_o a_o ounce_n this_o instance_n therefore_o of_o the_o present_a price_n of_o bullion_n prove_v nothing_o but_o that_o the_o quantity_n of_o silver_n in_o money_n govern_v the_o value_n of_o it_o and_o not_o the_o denomination_n as_o appear_v when_o clip_v money_n be_v bring_v to_o buy_v bullion_n this_o be_v a_o fair_a trial_n silver_n be_v set_v against_o silver_n and_o by_o that_o be_v see_v whether_o clip_a money_n be_v of_o the_o same_o value_n with_o weighty_a of_o the_o same_o denomination_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o the_o quanquantity_v of_o silver_n in_o it_o that_o regulate_v its_o value_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o mr._n lowndes_n a_o man_n so_o well_o skilled_a in_o the_o law_n especial_o of_o the_o

to_o 15_o penny_n the_o ounce_n above_o 5_o s._n 2_o d._n as_o be_v now_o pretend_a which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o a_o ounce_n of_o bullion_n can_v be_v buy_v for_o less_o than_o a_o ounce_n and_o a_o

now_o but_o lawful_a money_n current_n but_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o the_o price_n and_o value_n of_o thing_n be_v confound_v and_o uncertain_a when_o the_o measure_n itself_o be_v lose_v for_o we_o have_v now_o no_o lawful_a silver_n money_n current_n among_o we_o and_o therefore_o can_v talk_v nor_o judge_v right_a by_o our_o present_a uncertain_a clip_a money_n of_o the_o value_n and_o
