the_o summarie_n of_o certain_a reason_n which_o have_v move_v the_o queen_n majesty_n to_o proceed_v in_o reformation_n of_o her_o base_a and_o course_n money_n and_o to_o reduce_v they_o to_o their_o value_n in_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v be_v turn_v to_o fine_a money_n appoint_v to_o be_v declare_v by_o her_o majesty_n by_o order_n of_o her_o proclamation_n in_o her_o city_n of_o london_n first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o honour_n and_o reputation_n of_o the_o singular_a wealth_n that_o this_o realm_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v above_o at_o other_o realm_n be_v partly_o in_o that_o it_o have_v no_o currant_n money_n but_o gold_n and_o silver_n whereas_o contrary_a all_o other_o country_n as_o almayn_v france_n spain_n flaunders_n scotland_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o christendom_n have_v have_v and_o still_o have_v certain_a base_a money_n now_o of_o late_a day_n by_o turn_v of_o fine_a money_n into_o base_a much_o decay_v and_o daily_o grow_v into_o infamy_n and_o reproach_n and_o therefore_o be_v think_v necessary_a to_o be_v recover_v wherein_o like_o as_o her_o majesty_n for_o her_o part_n mean_v to_o be_v at_o great_a charge_n so_o every_o good_a english_a subject_n ought_v to_o be_v content_a though_o it_o seem_v some_o small_a loss_n at_o the_o first_o also_o by_o continue_v of_o the_o base_a money_n diverse_a person_n both_o in_o foreign_a part_n and_o within_o the_o realm_n have_v counterfeit_a from_o time_n to_o time_n no_o small_a quantity_n and_o bring_v to_o port_n town_n and_o utter_v the_o same_o at_o the_o first_o after_o the_o rate_n of_o twelve_o penny_n a_o teston_n and_o after_o that_o for_o vi_o penny_n where_o the_o same_o be_v not_o in_o deed_n worth_a much_o above_o two_o penny_n and_o carry_v out_o of_o the_o realm_n for_o those_o base_a money_n the_o scotfree_a commodity_n of_o the_o same_o as_o wolle_n cloth_n lead_v tin_n leather_n tallow_n yea_o and_o all_o kind_n of_o victual_n as_o corn_n malt_n beer_n butter_n cheese_n and_o such_o like_a so_o as_o counterfaicter_n and_o such_o like_v have_v for_o small_a sum_n of_o money_n counterfaict_v carry_v out_o six_o time_n the_o value_n in_o commodity_n of_o the_o realm_n by_o the_o mean_n also_o that_o these_o base_a money_n be_v currant_n diverse_a subtyll_a people_n have_v change_v the_o same_o for_o the_o gold_n and_o fine_a silver_n money_n of_o this_o realne_a and_o have_v transport_v and_o carry_v out_o the_o same_o gold_n &_o silver_n so_o as_o although_o there_o have_v be_v coin_a both_o in_o the_o late_a end_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n edward_n &_o in_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n mary_n &_o now_o also_o sense_n the_o queen_n majesty_n reign_n great_a quantity_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n yet_o to_o part_v thereof_o be_v see_v common_o currant_n but_o as_o it_o may_v be_v think_v some_o part_n thereof_o be_v carry_v hence_o &_o some_o percase_o by_o the_o wise_a sort_n of_o people_n keep_v in_o store_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wysh_v that_o the_o whole_a be_v also_o by_o continuance_n of_o this_o sort_n of_o base_a money_n although_o almyghtie_a god_n have_v give_v now_o of_o late_a year_n plentiful_a increase_n by_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o which_o he_o be_v to_o be_v thank_v without_o any_o uche_n plague_n of_o scarcity_n as_o in_o our_o forefather_n time_n have_v be_v read_v when_o many_o hundrethe_n and_o thousand_o of_o people_n have_v dye_v for_o famine_n yet_o the_o price_n of_o all_o thing_n grow_v or_o come_n from_o the_o earth_n have_v inmeasurable_o and_o daily_o rise_v as_o all_o manner_n of_o grain_n fruit_n cattle_n bestial_a victtuell_a wool_n leather_n and_o such_o like_a and_o no_o remedy_n can_v be_v devyse_v to_o amend_v the_o same_o but_o to_o cause_v that_o the_o same_o base_a money_n shall_v be_v currant_n for_o no_o more_o than_o they_o be_v in_o just_a value_n for_o every_o man_n of_o the_o least_o understanding_n by_o one_o mean_n or_o other_o know_v that_o a_o teston_n be_v not_o worth_a six_o penny_n nor_o the_o piece_n of_o two_o penny_n be_v worth_a so_o much_o &_o therefore_o no_o man_n will_v geve_v glad_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v and_o ever_o have_v be_v worth_n six_o penny_n for_o a_o teston_n but_o will_v rather_o require_v two_o teston_n &_o so_o a_o thing_n be_v worth_a six_o penny_n be_v buy_v and_o sell_v either_o for_o two_o teston_n or_o one_o and_o a_o half_a which_o be_v in_o reckon_v xii_o penny_n or_o ix_o penny_n and_o now_o every_o teston_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o just_a value_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o one_o shall_v buy_v of_o another_o hereafter_o that_o for_o four_o penny_n halfpenny_n which_o be_v wont_v to_o cost_n vi_o penny_n and_o when_o the_o teston_n be_v bring_v into_o fine_a silver_n then_o shall_v all_o man_n be_v as_o desirous_a to_o sell_v any_o ware_n for_o such_o fine_a money_n as_o they_o have_v of_o late_o be_v loath_a and_o unwylling_n to_o sell_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o base_a money_n except_o they_o may_v have_v have_v twice_o as_o much_o of_o the_o base_a money_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o have_v of_o the_o fine_a or_o else_o that_o for_o necessity_n they_o be_v dryven_v to_o sell_v the_o same_o by_o this_o mean_n also_o now_o that_o the_o base_a money_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o just_a value_n and_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v have_v fine_a money_n for_o

either_o by_o land_n by_o sea_n or_o by_o fresh_a water_n and_o all_o mean_a gentleman_n that_o live_v but_o upon_o pension_n and_o stipend_n and_o all_o soldier_n and_o serve_a man_n that_o live_v upon_o sell_v and_o wage_n shall_v have_v their_o pention_n stipend_n solde_n and_o wage_n now_o pay_v in_o good_a and_o fine_a money_n &_o therewith_o shall_v buy_v more_o necessary_n for_o their_o
