that_o one_o may_v very_o well_o take_v a_o fair_a excuse_n from_o thence_o to_o save_v one_o self_n the_o labour_n but_o my_o sentiment_n of_o their_o management_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o those_o of_o the_o town_n which_o i_o find_v collect_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o prejudice_n against_o they_o by_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n which_o i_o receive_v from_o you_o i_o shall_v make_v the_o less_o difficulty_n in_o answer_n to_o your_o desire_n to_o send_v you_o my_o thought_n of_o their_o complaint_n and_o his_o performance_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o bank_n without_o far_a apology_n the_o design_n of_o the_o author_n seem_v in_o short_a for_o i_o must_v ask_v his_o pardon_n if_o i_o forbear_v to_o transcribe_v the_o length_n of_o his_o expression_n to_o prescribe_v a_o remedy_n for_o the_o present_a obstruction_n and_o interrupt_v currency_n of_o our_o coin_n in_o order_n to_o which_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v now_o in_o the_o kingdom_n good_a money_n sufficient_a and_o more_o than_o sufficient_a to_o answer_v our_o expense_n commerce_n market_n and_o in_o fine_a to_o make_v we_o all_o easy_a in_o all_o our_o

present_a suppose_n with_o our_o author_n that_o this_o be_v true_a well_o how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o we_o be_v in_o this_o lamentable_a condition_n this_o woeful_a plight_v that_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o such_o tragical_a exclamation_n why_o these_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v our_o author_n first_o the_o dilatory_a payment_n of_o note_n by_o goldsmith_n and_o other_o and_o at_o last_o for_o the_o great_a respect_n of_o bank_n note_n this_o he_o insinuate_v only_o as_o yet_o the_o violent_a and_o great_a charge_n be_v reserve_v till_o after_o second_o the_o hoard_n of_o the_o

of_o england_n he_o lay_v it_o once_o more_o upon_o they_o and_o indeed_o the_o endeavour_n to_o cast_v and_o fix_v the_o blame_v upon_o they_o chief_o after_o all_o his_o wander_a and_o smooth_a pretence_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o great_a end_n and_o main_a design_n of_o his_o long_a letter_n these_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o our_o author_n have_v lay_v down_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o present_a scarcity_n of_o money_n i_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o give_v you_o my_o remark_n on_o they_o as_o brief_o as_o possible_a the_o slow_a payment_n of_o note_n by_o goldsmith_n and_o other_o must_v needs_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o the_o free_a currency_n of_o money_n but_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v attribute_v whole_o or_o general_o to_o their_o ill_a management_n and_o dishonest_a practice_n as_o our_o author_n will_v most_o charitable_o persuade_v we_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n consent_n to_o and_o shall_v take_v occasion_n to_o speak_v far_o to_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o reason_n for_o the_o slow_a payment_n at_o the_o bank_n of_o england_n the_o hoard_v of_o guinea_n and_o weighty_a money_n in_o expectation_n of_o their_o be_v raise_v the_o next_o parliament_n be_v undoubted_o another_o obstacle_n to_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o coin_n and_o whoever_o do_v so_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o their_o expectation_n be_v both_o very_a unreasonable_a and_o extreme_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o which_o reason_n i_o shall_v free_o turn_v they_o over_o to_o be_v discipline_v for_o their_o ill_n aim_v obstinacy_n by_o our_o author_n and_o pass_v to_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o hoarder_n which_o he_o mention_n such_o as_o hoard_v to_o take_v advantage_n of_o the_o scarcity_n which_o they_o themselves_o occasion_n and_o these_o be_v the_o man_n indeed_o for_o who_o no_o term_n be_v too_o disgraceful_a have_v our_o author_n instead_o of_o the_o bank_n discharge_v his_o spleen_n against_o these_o unnatural_a miser_n he_o can_v scarce_o have_v say_v too_o much_o against_o they_o at_o least_o i_o shall_v never_o have_v interrupt_v his_o declamation_n and_o thus_o at_o length_n we_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o force_n of_o his_o charge_n against_o the_o bank_n and_o to_o examine_v the_o justice_n of_o those_o imputation_n which_o he_o so_o harsh_o lay_v upon_o they_o that_o the_o slow_a payment_n of_o their_o bill_n be_v the_o chief_a reason_n for_o the_o present_a hardship_n of_o the_o money_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v without_o scruple_n confess_v that_o the_o ready_a payment_n of_o their_o bill_n will_v be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o the_o free_a passage_n of_o the_o money_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o case_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o have_v money_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o will_v give_v satisfaction_n will_v those_o who_o so_o impatient_o demand_v payment_n be_v satisfy_v to_o take_v it_o in_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o money_n which_o their_o bill_n be_v give_v for_o the_o great_a part_n it_o be_v well_o know_v have_v be_v take_v in_o either_o in_o clip_v money_n or_o gold_n at_o a_o overvalue_n i_o know_v this_o can_v but_o be_v a_o very_a offensive_a question_n to_o these_o very_a hearty_a people_n now_o that_o the_o coin_n be_v in_o so_o much_o better_a condition_n but_o if_o they_o will_v be_v please_v to_o consider_v if_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o absolute_o resolve_v to_o be_v deaf_a even_o to_o truth_n and_o reason_n if_o they_o appear_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o bank_n i_o say_v if_o they_o will_v yet_o reflect_v calm_o upon_o this_o matter_n they_o will_v soon_o find_v that_o it_o be_v to_o this_o very_a alteration_n of_o the_o coin_n and_o not_o to_o any_o mismanagement_n of_o the_o director_n that_o their_o present_a slow_a payment_n i●_n owe_v and_o by_o consequence_n that_o they_o be_v as_o far_o from_o dishonesty_n in_o their_o present_a act_n as_o our_o author_n be_v from_o truth_n and_o good_a manner_n in_o his_o false_a and_o groundless_a asperse_v of_o they_o however_o let_v we_o trace_v this_o a_o little_a further_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o people_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o just_a before_o the_o call_n in_o of_o the_o old_a adulterate_a diminish_v coin_n the_o bank_n have_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o bill_n and_o note_n out_o against_o they_o all_o which_o be_v ready_o answer_v in_o the_o coin_n to_o which_o they_o refer_v the_o then_o current_a coin_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o which_o before_o the_o parliament_n begin_v to_o take_v the_o cure_n of_o the_o money_n into_o their_o consideration_n be_v as_o ready_o accept_v by_o those_o who_o demand_v payment_n of_o they_o thus_o far_o then_o the_o bank_n be_v honest_a as_o honest_a as_o any_o that_o make_v payment_n in_o the_o kingdom_n how_o come_v they_o then_o to_o alter_v their_o method_n how_o come_v they_o that_o be_v bu●_n just_o now_o so_o honest_a and_o so_o punctual_a to_o be_v force_v to_o hazard_v their_o reputation_n their_o most_o advantageous_a bottom_n and_o expose_v themselves_o to_o these_o heavy_a censure_n why_o this_o our_o author_n out_o of_o his_o profound_a respect_n for_o so_o considerable_a a_o body_n can_v attribute_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o either_o their_o mismanagement_n or_o their_o impotency_n the_o effect_n of_o their_o mismanagement_n which_o he_o have_v very_o wise_o note_v to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o upon_o this_o chapter_n it_o be_v that_o our_o author_n treat_v they_o without_o mercy_n though_o not_o without_o good_a counsel_n which_o high_a be_v very_o full_a of_o first_o give_v they_o a_o stroke_n or_o two_o by_o way_n of_o preparation_n then_o read_v they_o a_o lecture_n of_o morality_n with_o a_o o_o
