A43702	Decus & tutamen, or, Our new money as now coined in full weight and fineness proved to be for the honour, safety and advantage of England, written by way of answer to Sir Richard Temple and Dr. Barbon ; to which is added an essay to preserve our new money from being hoarded, melted down, transported or counterfeited.

so_o perplex_v our_o merchant_n that_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o carry_v on_o their_o foreign_a commerce_n without_o great_a difficulty_n and_o loss_n and_o if_o all_o this_o put_v the_o merchant_n upon_o petition_v the_o parliament_n for_o bring_v guinea_n low_a which_o be_v do_v at_o their_o request_n then_o i_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o lower_a they_o be_v not_o disadvantageous_a to_o we_o but_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o foreign_a commerce_n and_o maintain_v the_o riches_n and_o grandeur_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o the_o high_a price_n of_o guinea_n first_o advance_v the_o course_n of_o exchange_n against_o we_o and_o all_o foreign_a commodity_n and_o second_o the_o price_n of_o inland_a good_n which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o lower_a of_o they_o have_v bring_v down_o and_o i_o can_v give_v instance_n almost_o in_o all_o commodity_n that_o have_v fall_v since_o guinea_n be_v bring_v low_a so_o that_o the_o gain_n thereby_o extend_v to_o all_o that_o have_v occasion_n either_o for_o apparel_n or_o victual_n whereas_o the_o loss_n by_o lower_v they_o chief_o fall_v on_o such_o as_o have_v great_a sum_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o who_o probable_o get_v as_o much_o or_o more_o by_o the_o rise_n of_o guineas_n as_o they_o lose_v by_o their_o fall_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o my_o argument_n against_o raise_v our_o coin_n of_o which_o though_o i_o may_v have_v say_v much_o more_o if_o my_o business_n other_o way_n will_v have_v permit_v yet_o i_o think_v the_o forego_n line_n be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o raise_v our_o coin_n will_v infallible_o bring_v great_a loss_n to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o this_o nation_n by_o raise_v foreign_a good_n and_o the_o course_n of_o exchange_n and_o likewise_o all_o inland_a commodity_n whereas_o the_o loss_n to_o we_o by_o continue_v the_o coin_n at_o the_o present_a standard_n be_v mere_o accidental_a and_o can_v only_o prove_v so_o by_o our_o coin_n be_v either_o melt_v down_o counterfeit_v or_o hoard_v all_o which_o it_o will_v be_v no_o less_o subject_a to_o be_v it_o coin_v light_a or_o the_o value_n raise_v as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o shall_v the_o price_n of_o bullion_n rise_v proportionable_o to_o what_o we_o advance_v our_o coin_n which_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a it_o will_v and_o therefore_o since_o our_o coin_n though_o it_o be_v advance_v will_v still_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a mischief_n the_o way_n to_o prevent_v and_o salve_v they_o will_v not_o be_v to_o coin_v our_o money_n light_a or_o base_a or_o raise_v its_o value_n but_o it_o will_v be_v to_o endeavour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o prevent_v these_o mischief_n in_o order_n whereunto_o i_o have_v make_v the_o follow_a essay_n since_o many_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o prescribe_v rule_n for_o the_o prevention_n of_o these_o great_a prejudices_fw-la to_o the_o nation_n of_o hoard_v melt_v down_o etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v take_v the_o liberty_n to_o throw_v in_o my_o mite_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o public_a treasure_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v though_o the_o currency_n of_o such_o money_n as_o be_v of_o full_a weight_n and_o fineness_n will_v conduce_v much_o to_o the_o facilitate_v all_o receipt_n and_o payment_n and_o tend_v extreme_o to_o the_o honour_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o several_a respect_n yet_o if_o we_o can_v find_v mean_n to_o prevent_v the_o great_a mischief_n of_o hoard_v melt_v down_o export_v etc._n etc._n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v we_o shall_v have_v a_o great_a diminution_n of_o our_o coin_n by_o these_o irregular_a and_o ill_a practice_n than_o we_o can_v possible_o make_v up_o by_o our_o mint_n and_o therefore_o i_o humble_o propose_v first_o to_o prevent_v hoard_v our_o coin_n this_o be_v certain_o the_o least_o unblamable_a of_o any_o of_o the_o ill_a practice_n because_o the_o money_n remain_v in_o specie_fw-la in_o the_o nation_n which_o on_o emergent_a occasion_n will_v probable_o be_v bring_v to_o light_v as_o we_o see_v great_a sum_n be_v of_o broad_a money_n at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v therefore_o the_o excessive_a hoard_v that_o be_v mischievous_a to_o the_o nation_n when_o man_n have_v such_o a_o love_n to_o money_n either_o for_o its_o beauty_n or_o intrinsic_a worth_n that_o rather_o than_o part_v with_o it_o they_o will_v let_v their_o just_a debt_n remain_v unpaid_a after_o due_a in_o hope_n or_o upon_o the_o expectation_n that_o a_o sum_n will_v short_o come_v into_o their_o hand_n that_o be_v less_o valuable_a though_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n perhaps_o the_o labourer_n and_o other_o artificer_n who_o have_v but_o just_a from_o hand_n to_o mouth_n want_v bread_n for_o themselves_o and_o family_n this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o such_o nation_n as_o have_v two_o sort_n of_o coin_n currant_n a_o better_a and_o a_o worse_o of_o the_o same_o denomination_n and_o this_o have_v long_o be_v our_o own_o case_n we_o have_v have_v the_o crown_n ½_o crown_n shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n new_a and_o old_a unclipt_a and_o clip_v and_o the_o consequence_n of_o that_o have_v be_v that_o our_o milled_a and_o broad_a money_n have_v be_v hoard_v and_o the_o clip_v only_o currant_n therefore_o if_o ever_o we_o will_v prevent_v the_o excessive_a hoard_v of_o our_o coin_n we_o must_v have_v it_o coin_v all_o of_o full_a weight_n by_o call_v all_o our_o money_n in_o that_o admit_v but_o of_o suspicion_n of_o be_v clip_v and_o when_o that_o be_v new_o coin_v and_o all_o our_o coin_n be_v mill_v or_o broad_a unclipt_a we_o shall_v find_v not_o a_o penny_n hoard_v that_o will_n any_o way_n be_v a_o detriment_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o for_o any_o gentleman_n etc._n etc._n to_o hoard_v so_o much_o money_n as_o be_v over_o and_o above_o what_o will_v defray_v all_o their_o expense_n and_o pay_v their_o debt_n can_v never_o hurt_v we_o but_o then_o this_o call_n in_o our_o old_a coin_n will_v best_o be_v do_v gradual_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n have_v begin_v to_o their_o exceed_a great_a commendation_n and_o in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n if_o the_o government_n in_o the_o space_n of_o six_o month_n by_o which_o time_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o million_o and_o a_o half_a of_o new_a money_n beside_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o old_a mill_v coin_n and_o guinea_n shall_v call_v in_o all_o our_o present_a clip_a money_n it_o will_v i_o presume_v effectual_o prevent_v excessive_a hoard_v and_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o more_o plenty_n of_o money_n currant_n and_o ease_v in_o tell_v it_o than_o we_o have_v now_o which_o we_o can_v never_o expect_v so_o long_o as_o any_o of_o these_o clip_v sixpence_n etc._n etc._n be_v permit_v to_o go_v for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a 2._o to_o prevent_v the_o melt_v down_o our_o new_a coin_n i_o humble_o propose_v that_o the_o price_n of_o bullion_n may_v be_v settle_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n at_o 5_o s._n per_fw-la ounce_n to_o all_o people_n that_o have_v deal_n in_o it_o within_o this_o kingdom_n except_o the_o merchant_n that_o import_v it_o who_o may_v have_v 5_o s._n 3_o d._n or_o 5_o s._n 4_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n as_o a_o encouragement_n for_o bring_v it_o into_o the_o nation_n that_o all_o bullion_n import_v be_v buy_v of_o the_o merchant_n by_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o treasury_n or_o their_o agent_n for_o the_o king_n of_o who_o alone_o all_o such_o as_o have_v occasion_n shall_v buy_v their_o bullion_n at_o 5_o s._n per_fw-la ounce_n that_o to_o make_v good_a this_o 3_o d._n or_o 4_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n and_o charge_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o king_n a_o duty_n be_v lay_v on_o some_o commodity_n import_v as_o wine_n or_o the_o like_a to_o be_v pay_v by_o the_o retailer_n or_o importer_n as_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v proper_a that_o a_o enact_v account_v be_v keep_v of_o what_o bullion_n be_v import_v and_o to_o who_o it_o be_v dispose_v that_o so_o a_o estimate_n may_v be_v make_v what_o the_o king_n be_v out_o of_o purse_n and_o a_o duty_n lay_v according_o and_o if_o this_o account_n be_v audit_v once_o a_o month_n by_o the_o king_n auditor_n it_o will_v prevent_v his_o majesty_n be_v defraud_v that_o the_o officer_n concern_v in_o receive_v and_o dispose_n of_o this_o bullion_n shall_v be_v swear_v to_o deal_v just_o and_o fair_o and_o likewise_o give_v good_a security_n for_o the_o same_o that_o all_o person_n sell_v bullion_n to_o the_o king_n as_o import_v shall_v make_v
