the_o coin_n of_o this_o realm_n albeit_o by_o sundry_a proclamation_n heretofore_o publish_v with_o the_o advice_n of_o our_o privy_a council_n we_o have_v sufficient_o manifest_v our_o care_n and_o constant_a desire_n to_o meet_v with_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o either_o diminish_v the_o plenty_n or_o impair_v the_o just_a value_n of_o the_o coin_n of_o this_o our_o realm_n yet_o experience_n have_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o neither_o the_o severity_n of_o our_o law_n nor_o strictness_n of_o our_o proclamation_n have_v effect_v that_o good_a which_o in_o our_o princely_a care_n and_o providence_n of_o the_o public_a weal_n we_o have_v so_o much_o aim_v at_o but_o against_o all_o our_o endeavour_n and_o provision_n far_o great_a quantity_n of_o light_a gold_n then_o in_o any_o

out_o and_o sort_v be_v transport_v into_o foreign_a part_n to_o the_o impoverish_n of_o this_o our_o realm_n and_o therefore_o find_v these_o evil_n ground_v upon_o hope_n of_o gain_n to_o break_v through_o all_o other_o politic_a constitution_n we_o have_v resolve_v in_o pursuit_n of_o our_o law_n and_o proclamation_n against_o those_o abuse_n to_o make_v trial_n if_o by_o proposal_n of_o benefit_n to_o such_o as_o shall_v further_o our_o intention_n though_o with_o our_o own_o apparent_a loss_n we_o may_v advance_v the_o plenty_n and_o abundance_n of_o coin_n within_o our_o realm_n and_o therefore_o find_v that_o the_o profit_n of_o our_o coinage_n though_o already_o abate_v beneath_o the_o rate_n of_o former_a time_n do_v at_o this_o present_n amount_v to_o the_o sum_n of_o
