a_o appendix_n to_o the_o proposal_n for_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o tin_n contain_v reason_n for_o raise_v the_o price_n quality_n and_o quantity_n of_o tin_n in_o the_o county_n of_o cornwall_n and_o devon_n 1._o because_o the_o public_a use_n of_o silver-plate_n be_v so_o much_o abate_v in_o the_o nation_n 2._o because_o tin_n improve_v by_o art_n be_v next_o in_o nature_n to_o pure_a gold_n and_o silver_n and_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o refine_v tin_n it_o be_v our_o own_o commodity_n rather_o than_o to_o use_v allay_v and_o course_n silver_n for_o common_a plate_n 3._o the_o high_a the_o price_n and_o quality_n of_o tin_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o it_o will_v be_v in_o fashion_n the_o more_o it_o be_v in_o fashion_n the_o more_o it_o will_v be_v refine_v the_o more_o it_o be_v refine_v the_o more_o fit_a it_o will_v be_v for_o plate_n the_o more_o tin_n there_o be_v in_o plate_n the_o more_o silver_n we_o shall_v have_v in_o money_n the_o more_o silver_n there_o be_v in_o money_n the_o more_o money_n we_o shall_v have_v to_o lay_v out_o on_o the_o most_o refine_v and_o fashionable_a pewter_n the_o fine_a the_o pewter_n be_v in_o quality_n and_o fashion_n the_o high_a will_v be_v the_o price_n of_o tin_n the_o high_a the_o price_n and_o quality_n of_o tin_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a quantity_n will_v be_v consume_v the_o great_a the_o consumption_n be_v the_o better_a it_o will_v be_v both_o for_o the_o rich_a and_o poor_a the_o poor_a will_v get_v more_o wage_n and_o the_o rich_a more_o wealth_n for_o all_o market_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o first_o market-price_n and_o as_o the_o quantity_n quality_n and_o price_n of_o tin_n shall_v rise_v the_o more_o it_o will_v be_v for_o the_o honour_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o general_a and_o the_o county_n of_o cornwall_n and_o devon_n in_o particular_a will_v be_v the_o better_o enable_v thereby_o to_o serve_v their_o king_n and_o country_n in_o mind_n body_n and_o estate_n now_o the_o better_a to_o prevent_v the_o cornish_a factor_n underbuy_v one_o another_o and_o bring_v down_o the_o price_n of_o tin_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o public_a as_o our_o merchant_n do_v often_o limit_v their_o factor_n to_o prevent_v the_o rise_a prize_n of_o foreign_a commodity_n so_o a_o law_n may_v be_v make_v here_o that_o no_o one_o shall_v buy_v or_o sell_v tin_n under_o 3_o l._n 3_o l._n 10_o s._n or_o 4_o l._n per_fw-la hundred_o i_o have_v already_o show_v in_o the_o first_o proposal_n that_o the_o price_n of_o tin_n abroad_o will_v bear_v that_o price_n at_o home_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o policy_n to_o keep_v the_o price_n of_o tin_n from_o fall_v as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v to_o have_v keep_v the_o price_n of_o silver_n from_o rise_v and_o its_o quality_n from_o be_v debase_v there_o be_v more_o work_n do_v for_o the_o roman_a penny_n which_o be_v pure_a silver_n than_o can_v be_v do_v now_o for_o a_o english_a pound_n for_o as_o we_o have_v allay_v and_o corrupt_v our_o coin_n we_o have_v lose_v much_o of_o our_o constitution_n with_o the_o ancient_a standard_n and_o as_o our_o english_a constitution_n have_v be_v corrupt_v with_o our_o coin_n so_o the_o strength_n and_o courage_n of_o the_o cornish_a man_n have_v much_o decline_v with_o the_o prince_n of_o their_o tin_n i_o will_v take_v away_o all_o their_o tin_n 1.25_o isa_n 1.25_o be_v once_o say_v to_o a_o degenerate_v and_z then_o unthinking_a people_n because_o they_o do_v not_o improve_v the_o talon_n but_o it_o be_v better_a that_o god_n shall_v take_v the_o tin_n from_o we_o than_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v ruin_v by_o so_o rich_a a_o commodity_n as_o tin_n may_v be_v make_v i_o have_v see_v at_o venice_n and_o elsewhere_o plate_n make_v of_o refine_v tin_n which_o have_v exceed_v some_o make_v of_o allay_v silver_n and_o mr._n joseph_n benmer_n of_o panzance_n in_o cornwall_n have_v be_v a_o scholar_n and_o

the_o pewterer_n of_o london_n shall_v exceed_v he_o in_o the_o art_n of_o refine_v tin_n and_o make_v a_o plate_n thereof_o but_o mr._n benmar_n plate_n exceed_v the_o other_o both_o in_o lightness_n

our_o tin_n have_v not_o a_o exceed_a quality_n in_o nature_n to_o employ_v the_o art_n of_o ingenious_a and_o industrious_a man_n so_o many_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o even_o those_o that_o have_v tin_n in_o it_o will_v not_o have_v take_v so_o much_o from_o our_o merchant_n agent_n abroad_o at_o 10_o l._n 20_o l._n and_o 30_o l._n sterling_a a_o hundred_o nor_o can_v our_o merchant_n at_o home_n as_o heretofore_o they_o do_v give_v the_o tinner_n above_o 6_o l._n a_o hundred_o first_o price_n for_o it_o and_o the_o high_a the_o price_n have_v be_v the_o better_a the_o commodity_n have_v go_v off_o and_o far_o to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o tin_n i_o shall_v inform_v my_o reader_n and_o i_o can_v give_v many_o such_o instance_n that_o about_o 20_o year_n ago_o some_o engineer_n or_o rather_o man_n of_o cunning_a art_n come_v down_o into_o cornwall_n and_o often_o visit_v the_o blow_n or_o melt_a house_n of_o the_o tin_n and_o as_o often_o make_v the_o blower_n drink_v whilst_o the_o blower_n be_v busy_a drink_v those_o cunning_a man_n be_v as_o busy_a dip_v their_o rod_n in_o the_o float_v or_o mould_n where_o the_o tin_n be_v melt_v hot_a and_o by_o that_o mean_n use_v both_o end_n of_o their_o rod_n war._n consider_v our_o proportion_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n from_o the_o indies_n if_o no_o small_a quantity_n of_o both_o have_v not_o be_v extract_v from_o the_o metal_n of_o england_n we_o can_v never_o have_v endure_v the_o late_a overbalance_n of_o trade_n nor_o have_v so_o long_o carry_v on_o such_o a_o war._n they_o extract_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v mistrust_v and_o force_v to_o fly_v the_o country_n von_n the_o discover_a want_n of_o that_o virtue_n which_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o tin_n they_o will_v have_v get_v many_o thousand_o pound_n in_o a_o little_a time_n and_o spoil_v all_o the_o tin_n which_o they_o shall_v so_o touch_v the_o pewterer_n and_o merchant_n upon_o the_o discovery_n complain_v to_o the_o tinner_n the_o tinner_n bring_v their_o action_n against_o the_o blower_n and_o after_o a_o stannery_n lawsuit_n as_o long_o as_o from_o hence_o to_o the_o landsend_a they_o have_v more_o satisfaction_n than_o i_o think_v shall_v have_v be_v give_v they_o and_o some_o time_n since_o one_o of_o those_o cunning_a man_n confess_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n to_o i_o and_o some_o other_o and_o how_o they_o be_v force_v to_o fly_v the_o country_n for_o commit_v it_o now_o the_o nature_n of_o tin_n in_o its_o refine_a purity_n be_v so_o near_o relate_v to_o gold_n and_o silver_n we_o shall_v use_v all_o possible_a art_n and_o policy_n to_o refine_v and_o esteem_v its_o quality_n and_o thereby_o also_o to_o raise_v the_o price_n thereof_o and_o if_o we_o do_v so_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o tinners_n necessity_n it_o can_v but_o increase_v the_o tin-trade_n and_o be_v a_o act_n of_o charity_n and_o justice_n very_o acceptable_a and_o well-pleasing_a both_o to_o god_n and_o the_o nation_n because_o the_o improvement_n of_o this_o rich_a talon_n will_v much_o increase_v our_o coin_n which_o be_v so_o much_o want_v to_o carry_v on_o a_o vigorous_a war_n against_o our_o great_a adversary_n and_o as_o all_o kingdom_n and_o commonwealth_n have_v rise_v by_o trade_n and_o justice_n so_o we_o may_v now_o begin_v to_o
