hope_v will_v save_v we_o from_o ruin_n and_o certain_o the_o extortioner_n and_o stock-jobbers_a will_v never_o have_v be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o put_v what_o price_n they_o please_v upon_o

these_o unreasonable_a practice_n we_o plain_o see_v that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n why_o the_o king_n be_v not_o supply_v as_o we_o have_v find_v by_o woeful_a experience_n they_o tell_v you_o that_o money_n be_v of_o a_o great_a value_n than_o ever_o and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o it_o self-interest_n may_v plead_v for_o it_o but_o the_o notion_n be_v notorious_o false_a for_o indeed_o money_n be_v at_o no_o time_n of_o any_o great_a value_n than_o what_o the_o law_n have_v put_v upon_o it_o and_o no_o subject_n dare_v warrant_v the_o take_n of_o more_o than_o six_o per_fw-la cent._n but_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v indict_v upon_o the_o statute_n of_o excessive_a usury_n it_o be_v true_a the_o king_n give_v a_o great_a interest_n than_o six_o per_fw-la cent._n the_o reason_n be_v to_o encourage_v the_o subject_a to_o speedy_o supply_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o not_o without_o a_o law_n first_o make_v the_o subject_a aught_o to_o live_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o law_n and_o content_v himself_o with_o six_o per_fw-la cent._n until_o he_o have_v liberty_n by_o law_n to_o do_v otherwise_o it_o be_v of_o a_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o suffer_v the_o people_n to_o take_v a_o great_a interest_n for_o money_n than_o the_o king_n give_v himself_o for_o then_o the_o government_n will_v never_o be_v supply_v as_o we_o have_v already_o see_v therefore_o the_o neck_n of_o this_o roguery_n must_v be_v break_v or_o the_o nation_n undo_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o these_o dare_a creature_n break_v through_o all_o law_n when_o they_o dare_v spit_v in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n for_o if_o the_o parliament_n make_v any_o law_n that_o prevent_v their_o unjust_a practice_n they_o

to_o say_v in_o public_a that_o they_o be_v not_o friend_n to_o the_o government_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o punish_v they_o for_o their_o open_a affront_v in_o due_a time_n the_o parliament_n may_v make_v one_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o these_o extortioner_n and_o stock-jobbers_a never_o cry_v up_o the_o rise_n of_o silver_n and_o the_o rise_v of_o gold_n that_o the_o kingdom_n in_o general_n may_v be_v the_o better_a but_o that_o they_o themselves_o may_v have_v gain_v extravagant_a sum_n of_o money_n that_o have_v great_a cash_n by_o they_o and_o it_o be_v also_o as_o plain_o see_v that_o the_o money_n be_v bring_v to_o its_o due_a weight_n and_o standard_n have_v have_v this_o good_a effect_n already_o the_o exchange_n from_o holland_n be_v thirty_o six_o
