therefore_o i_o will_v say_v nothing_o on_o this_o topic_n lest_o i_o shall_v seem_v to_o build_v upon_o other_o man_n foundation_n and_o i_o the_o rather_o omit_v it_o because_o all_o that_o have_v or_o can_v be_v say_v against_o the_o raise_n of_o the_o extrinsic_n valuation_n of_o coin_n above_o the_o real_a value_n be_v applicable_a to_o the_o abase_v of_o it_o by_o alloy_n and_o i_o full_o assent_v to_o that_o axiom_n that_o the_o debase_v our_o money_n by_o alloy_n and_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o the_o standard_n be_v only_o do_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o most_o intent_n and_o purpose_n by_o two_o several_a way_n or_o mean_n suppose_v then_o but_o two_o way_n of_o debase_v it_o by_o quantity_n or_o by_o quality_n and_o still_o that_o be_v all_o but_o debase_v of_o it_o that_o be_v giving_z it_o a_o value_n in_o name_n of_o more_o than_o it_o have_v intrinsical_o or_o real_o for_o this_o more_o than_o intrinsic_n value_v be_v mere_o extrinsical_a suppose_a or_o denominate_v in_o short_a it_o be_v a_o fictitious_a imaginary_a value_n and_o not_o a_o real_a one_o above_o the_o intrinsic_n and_o this_o to_o say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o be_v the_o revive_n of_o that_o monster_n which_o q._n elizab._n 287._o cotton_n posthuma_n p._n 287._o be_v of_o happy_a memory_n so_o glory_v in_o the_o subdue_a and_o i_o doubt_v we_o have_v monster_n enough_o to_o deal_v with_o without_o revive_v more_o this_o be_v such_o a_o devour_a expedient_a as_o will_v immediate_o swallow_v down_o a_o part_n of_o every_o man_n estate_n and_o at_o last_o consume_v the_o nation_n the_o price_n of_o every_o thing_n will_v rise_v instead_o of_o fall_v for_o if_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o submit_v to_o this_o at_o home_n yet_o there_o be_v such_o a_o combination_n between_o our_o

at_o home_n than_o it_o do_v abroad_o unless_o the_o heavy_a balance_n of_o trade_n be_v on_o our_o side_n the_o water_n and_o it_o will_v pass_v for_o no_o more_o abroad_o than_o it_o be_v real_o not_o extrinsical_o or_o imaginarily_o worth_a at_o home_n a_o act_n of_o parliament_n can_v as_o well_o make_v a_o scotch_a pound_n pass_v for_o a_o english_a as_o half_a a_o ounce_n of_o silver_n in_o england_n to_o go_v for_o a_o ounce_n in_o holland_n without_o some_o consideration_n as_o may_v balance_n the_o difference_n let_v we_o call_v a_o six_o pennyweight_n of_o silver_n a_o crown_n piece_n as_o loud_a and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o will_v yet_o we_o shall_v never_o buy_v a_o pound_n of_o nutmeg_n with_o four_o of_o they_o unless_o you_o will_v give_v the_o dutch_a merchant_n a_o yard_n of_o broadcloth_n or_o something_o else_o into_o the_o bargain_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o when_o the_o real_a value_n of_o money_n be_v lessen_v the_o price_n of_o every_o thing_n will_v rise_v according_o be_v the_o extrinsic_n value_v what_o it_o will_n two_o crown-piece_n do_v not_o buy_v a_o yard_n of_o cloth_n because_o they_o contain_v ten_o shilling_n but_o because_o they_o contain_v almost_o two_o ounce_n of_o silver_n gold_n and_o silver_n be_v the_o universal_a pledge_n and_o security_n of_o all_o trade_n in_o every_o nation_n and_o what_o be_v want_v in_o their_o value_n must_v some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v make_v good_a more_o than_o in_o name_n or_o supposition_n it_o be_v true_a in_o holland_n and_o elsewhere_o they_o have_v a_o base_a under-money_n and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o ounce_n of_o silver_n perhaps_o in_o as_o many_o stivers_n or_o schillings_n as_o be_v equivalent_a to_o ten_o shilling_n in_o our_o money_n but_o if_o in_o holland_n you_o can_v exchange_v so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o have_v not_o a_o ounce_n of_o pure_a silver_n in_o they_o for_o as_o much_o of_o their_o better_a coin_n as_o contain_v two_o or_o three_o ounce_n of_o good_a silver_n then_o doubtless_o you_o can_v buy_v as_o good_a commodity_n for_o those_o as_o you_o can_v proportionable_o for_o their_o better_a money_n as_o here_o you_o may_v former_o have_v buy_v as_o much_o pack-thread_n for_o 48_o tin_n farthing_n as_o for_o a_o silver_n shilling_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o recourse_n and_o base_a money_n will_v have_v a_o proportionable_a value_n to_o good_a in_o that_o place_n where_o it_o can_v be_v change_v into_o good_a but_o that_o be_v a_o very_a different_a thing_n from_o debase_v the_o whole_a species_n of_o money_n throughout_o the_o nation_n so_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v force_v always_o to_o take_v under-money_n without_o any_o prospect_n of_o remedy_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v against_o a_o inferior_a sort_n of_o money_n a_o verna_n nummus_fw-la provide_v there_o be_v a_o regina_n pecunia_n too_o and_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o dishonour_v he_o who_o image_n and_o superscription_n our_o money_n bear_v if_o we_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o our_o money_n to_o cover_v over_o a_o fraud_n it_o be_v a_o respect_n we_o owe_v to_o the_o king_n not_o to_o suffer_v his_o impress_n upon_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v real_o valuable_a and_o it_o be_v for_o the_o nation_n be_v honour_n that_o the_o vile_a of_o our_o coin_n have_v a_o real_a value_n but_o if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v otherwise_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o have_v the_o under_o money_n and_o all_o the_o money_n of_o the_o nation_n of_o a_o imaginary_a value_n the_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o against_o such_o a_o imaginary_a valuation_n of_o money_n be_v perhaps_o invincible_a and_o almost_o innumerable_a but_o be_v there_o no_o other_o but_o this_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a without_o any_o more_o consider_v our_o present_a case_n we_o must_v have_v a_o army_n in_o flanders_n or_o a_o war_n in_o england_n i_o will_v i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o make_v out_o that_o how_o must_v we_o pay_v this_o army_n the_o royal_a bank_n of_o england_n it_o be_v say_v have_v establish_v there_o a_o mint_n for_o coin_v of_o money_n to_o pay_v the_o army_n i_o desire_v then_o to_o know_v if_o they_o will_v be_v content_v to_o receive_v here_o a_o undervalue_v money_n and_o pay_v there_o our_o army_n in_o money_n which_o the_o fleming_n will_v take_v if_o they_o do_v the_o cap_n lie_v between_o the_o fleming_n and_o they_o i_o will_v award_v till_o i_o know_v more_o i_o rather_o think_v that_o the_o hollander_n and_o fleming_n will_v raise_v their_o money_n proportionable_o to_o what_o we_o raise_v we_o and_o then_o in_o all_o respect_n we_o be_v just_a as_o we_o be_v till_o we_o rise_v high_a than_o they_o and_o then_o they_o high_o than_o we_o which_o will_v beget_v perpetual_a wrangling_n and_o war_n in_o trade_n i_o think_v now_o to_o have_v do_v with_o this_o article_n but_o can_v omit_v one_o thing_n which_o be_v that_o when_o you_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o money_n you_o natural_o raise_v the_o value_n of_o silver_n which_o be_v high_a enough_o already_o and_o then_o indeed_o england_n will_v become_v the_o best_a market_n for_o silver_n because_o all_o country_n will_v sell_v it_o to_o we_o and_o get_v sufficient_o by_o the_o bargain_n they_o will_v buy_v good_a pennyworth_n of_o our_o commodity_n give_v we_o high_a value_v silver_n for_o it_o till_o we_o have_v a_o glut_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o price_n of_o silver_n fall_v and_o then_o i_o suppose_v the_o intrinsic_n value_v of_o the_o money_n fall_v too_o though_o i_o confess_v as_o bad_a consequence_n may_v follow_v too_o great_a a_o intrinsic_n value_v i_o speak_v nothing_o of_o the_o confusion_n and_o jealousy_n which_o will_v arise_v from_o hence_o but_o there_o be_v a_o long_a chain_n of_o ill_a consequence_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v allow_v as_o a_o maxim_n that_o if_o our_o silver_n coin_n have_v less_o than_o a_o real_a value_n it_o will_v not_o answer_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o government_n chap._n v._o of_o exportation_n of_o coin_v silver_n it_o be_v too_o well_o know_v that_o when_o the_o balance_n of_o trade_n come_v to_o be_v examine_v we_o fall_v short_a of_o several_a of_o our_o neighbour_n very_o considerable_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o exchange_n do_v not_o only_o fall_v very_o low_a but_o will_v become_v altogether_o insufficient_a for_o our_o present_a occasion_n so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o war_n continue_v there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o we_o export_v so_o much_o silver_n and_o gold_n in_o specie_fw-la as_o the_o balance_n want_v on_o our_o side_n but_o this_o exportation_n will_v not_o
