england_n run_v as_o a_o river_n or_o branch_n must_v needs_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o former_a currant_n which_o be_v not_o perceive_v of_o our_o merchant_n that_o common_o follow_v this_o rule_n if_o the_o exchange_n do_v come_v high_a from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n present_o they_o will_v make_v it_o high_o here_o in_o regard_n of_o discrepance_n and_o distance_n of_o time_n and_o place_n

beyond_o the_o sea_n for_o in_o truth_n gain_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o exportation_n of_o our_o money_n which_o gain_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o money_n for_o as_o the_o right_a exchange_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o weight_n and_o fineness_n of_o our_o money_n and_o the_o weight_n and_o fineness_n of_o the_o money_n of_o each_o other_o country_n and_o thereupon_o the_o valuation_n of_o the_o money_n make_v the_o price_n of_o exchange_n it_o follow_v that_o neither_o difference_n of_o weight_n fineness_n of_o standard_n or_o valuation_n of_o money_n can_v be_v

far_o above_o their_o value_n with_o they_o and_o to_o the_o great_a transportation_n of_o we_o and_o hindrance_n of_o importation_n of_o any_o unto_o us._n this_o tolleratión_n of_o the_o price_n of_o money_n beyond_o the_o sea_n must_v be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o valuation_n which_o be_v do_v by_o public_a authority_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o governor_n of_o every_o country_n whereas_o the_o toleration_n be_v bring_v in_o by_o particular_a man_n as_o the_o merchant_n be_v that_o contrary_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o prince_n or_o state_n do_v receive_v and_o pay_v the_o money_n at_o a_o high_a rate_n advance_v the_o price_n of_o their_o commodity_n but_o if_o we_o will_v look_v unto_o the_o proportionable_a course_n of_o this_o toleration_n we_o shall_v easy_o perceive_v that_o man_n of_o understanding_n have_v the_o handle_n thereof_o and_o that_o superior_n will_v wink_v at_o private_a man_n fault_n for_o their_o own_o benefit_n first_o those_o that_o hold_v with_o we_o in_o proportion_n between_o the_o gold_n &_o silver_n 11._o to_o 1._o by_o valuation_n suffer_v all_o the_o gold_n to_o go_v currant_n after_o 12._o to_o 1._o whereby_o our_o angel_n be_v worth_a

or_o for_o france_n at_o six_o shilling_n the_o crown_n all_o which_o calculation_n be_v uncertain_a and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o realm_n and_o yet_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o enter_v into_o

consider_v that_o our_o silver_n money_n yield_v the_o great_a profit_n be_v carry_v to_o the_o mint_n beyond_o the_o sea_n where_o of_o late_a since_o the_o east_n indies_n trade_n it_o have_v be_v make_v equal_a with_o the_o valuation_n of_o gold_n and_o rather_o more_o whereby_o in_o effect_n they_o hold_v the_o proportion_n of_o 11._o to_o 1._o with_o us._n but_o then_o the_o par_fw-fr of_o exchange_n ought_v to_o be_v above_o 36._o shilling_n with_o the_o low-countries_n or_o above_o 25._o shilling_n with_o the_o east_n country_n or_o else_o the_o realm_n &_o every_o subject_n thereof_o lose_v a_o great_a matter_n &_o our_o money_n both_o of_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v continual_o export_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o low_a exchange_n if_o the_o exchange_n with_o we_o here_o be_v high_a so_o that_o more_o money_n will_v be_v receive_v beyond_o the_o sea_n by_o bill_n of_o exchange_n for_o our_o money_n than_o the_o same_o will_v yield_v if_o it_o be_v carry_v in_o specie_fw-la then_o every_o man_n be_v desirous_a to_o make_v over_o money_n by_o exchange_n and_o that_o money_n which_o shall_v be_v employ_v upon_o the_o commodity_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v deliver_v by_o

better_a cheap_a and_o herein_o we_o must_v consider_v two_o especial_a point_n first_o that_o both_o here_o and_o beyond_o the_o sea_n all_o commodity_n general_o be_v sell_v payable_a at_o some_o short_a time_n unless_o it_o be_v some_o small_a part_n for_o ready_a money_n second_o that_o general_o our_o merchant_n be_v here_o the_o taker_n up_o of_o money_n and_o the_o merchant_n stranger_n be_v the_o deliverer_n of_o money_n and_o the_o contrary_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n beyond_o the_o sea_n so_o that_o the_o course_n of_o exchange_n have_v a_o easy_a command_n still_o to_o england_n great_a prejudice_n for_o the_o scope_n of_o our_o merchant_n to_o make_v return_n homeward_o imply_v at_o all_o time_n a_o necessity_n and_o so_o it_o do_v not_o with_o the_o other_o for_o they_o do_v take_v their_o advantage_n either_o by_o exportation_n of_o our_o money_n or_o by_o make_v of_o it_o over_o at_o a_o high_a exchange_n and_o albeit_o that_o the_o transportation_n of_o money_n be_v prohibit_v very_o strait_o yet_o there_o be_v always_o 3._o way_n of_o exportation_n namely_o by_o commodity_n money_n &_o exchange_n but_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n of_o importation_n namely_o commodity_n and_o exchange_n whereby_o come_v a_o notable_a overballance_v of_o foreign_a commodity_n with_o our_o home_n commodity_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o those_o money_n take_v up_o by_o exchange_n at_o a_o high_a price_n shall_v be_v employ_v by_o english_a merchant_n upon_o our_o home_n commodity_n or_o that_o the_o foreign_a commodity_n be_v sell_v according_o it_o be_v altogether_o contrary_a for_o he_o that_o take_v up_o money_n at_o a_o high_a exchange_n do_v it_o upon_o necessity_n &_o must_v pay_v the_o same_o again_o of_o the_o provenue_n of_o his_o cloth_n or_o commodity_n already_o sell_v or_o to_o be_v sell_v or_o must_v maintain_v that_o money_n run_v upon_o exchange_n wherein_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o notable_a loser_n &_o pay_v treble_a interest_n if_o it_o be_v pay_v by_o the_o provenue_n of_o commodity_n sell_v before_o and_o which_o be_v owe_v in_o debt_n then_o
