weight_n and_o standard_n and_o then_o all_o the_o commodity_n both_o of_o our_o own_o country_n and_o foreign_a and_o the_o exchange_n will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n fall_v proportionable_o to_o its_o intrinsic_a value_n there_o be_v no_o sensible_a man_n but_o will_v i_o be_o sure_a own_o this_o consequence_n and_o that_o it_o be_v time_n to_o do_v it_o the_o disease_n grow_v every_o day_n worse_o and_o worse_o but_o the_o great_a difficulty_n be_v to_o find_v out_o a_o practicable_a way_n in_o this_o time_n of_o war._n i_o must_v confess_v this_o be_v a_o weighty_a one_o but_o i_o hope_v the_o project_n which_o i_o offer_v last_o year_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o treasury_n will_v make_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v very_o possible_a and_o therefore_o i_o offer_v it_o again_o with_o some_o addition_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o present_a time_n i_o do_v presume_v however_o that_o this_o project_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a one_o by_o which_o our_o coin_n may_v be_v amend_v see_v i_o have_v since_o that_o time_n make_v another_o which_o i_o have_v annex_v to_o my_o former_a to_o show_v that_o i_o be_o very_o willing_a to_o impart_v whatever_o i_o know_v on_o this_o

down_o and_o make_v new_a and_o to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o weight_n and_o standard_n as_o the_o new_a mill_v money_n now_o be_v or_o of_o more_o and_o that_o the_o loss_n which_o thereby_o will_v happen_v to_o those_o who_o have_v clip_v money_n will_v be_v so_o inconsiderable_a that_o even_o they_o themselves_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o bring_v in_o their_o money_n to_o be_v new_o coin_v and_o that_o the_o diminution_n of_o the_o numerical_a quantity_n of_o money_n which_o will_v happen_v by_o the_o melt_a it_o down_o will_v be_v more_o than_o supply_v whereas_o the_o crown_n piece_n

it_o will_v appear_v by_o a_o computation_n hereunto_o annex_v in_o which_o it_o be_v show_v that_o the_o say_a crown_n piece_n and_o any_o other_o piece_n proportionable_o from_o nineteen_o penny_n weight_n 254838_o 1000000_o part_n of_o penny_n weight_n that_o the_o say_a crown_n ought_v to_o weigh_v be_v now_o reduce_v to_o thirteen_o penny_n weight_n or_o there_o about_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o upon_o five_o million_o of_o silver_n coin_n it_o be_v 1666666_o l._n 13s_o 4d_o of_o loss_n which_o loss_n can_v be_v mend_v by_o the_o usual_a way_n but_o by_o a_o general_n tax_n
