in_o foreign_a part_n will_v drain_v from_o we_o under_o which_o war_n no_o policy_n or_o advantage_n of_o trade_n can_v make_v we_o rich_a and_o it_o will_v be_v very_o well_o for_o we_o if_o our_o best_a industry_n and_o frugality_n can_v and_o do_v by_o god_n blessing_n enable_v we_o to_o subsist_v under_o such_o burden_n as_o neither_o we_o norour_n father_n have_v know_v and_o we_o be_v now_o very_o unwilling_a and_o somewhat_o unable_a to_o bear_v and_o will_v certain_o be_v intolerable_a be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o visible_a and_o inavoidable_a need_n of_o this_o vast_a expense_n and_o the_o transportation_n of_o our_o treasure_n and_o money_n into_o foreign_a country_n we_o have_v a_o old_a say_n viz._n need_n make_v the_o old_a wife_n troth_n even_o when_o herself_o and_o those_o who_o see_v she_o think_v she_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o go_v durum_fw-la telum_fw-la necessitas_fw-la and_o those_o who_o see_v we_o and_o consider_v what_o we_o do_v and_o what_o we_o suffer_v may_v fair_o conclude_v that_o we_o do_v willing_o and_o of_o choice_n prefer_v our_o religion_n liberty_n and_o law_n before_o our_o peace_n or_o money_n and_o all_o other_o our_o plenty_n and_o happiness_n of_o our_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o our_o late_a king_n james_n be_v give_v over_o by_o god_n to_o make_v a_o very_a ill_a and_o disadvantageous_a choice_n when_o he_o set_v himself_o to_o attack_v the_o nation_n and_o oppress_v they_o in_o these_o three_o most_o sensible_a and_o vital_a principle_n of_o their_o affection_n and_o government_n for_o which_o if_o he_o hearty_o repent_v as_o i_o very_o believe_v he_o have_v have_v and_o still_o have_v very_o good_a cause_n to_o do_v i_o pray_v god_n forgive_v he_o and_o forgive_v the_o nation_n those_o hard_a usage_n which_o have_v be_v put_v upon_o he_o though_o they_o seem_v not_o great_a than_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o provocation_n do_v deserve_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o our_o say_v belove_a

make_v as_o little_a burdensome_a as_o the_o urgent_a necessity_n of_o affair_n will_v permit_v and_o that_o appear_v to_o be_v do_v with_o as_o little_a prowl_a and_o corruption_n of_o officer_n and_o instrument_n as_o be_v possible_a it_o seem_v the_o nation_n will_v be_v yet_o willing_a to_o bear_v such_o a_o increase_n of_o their_o charge_n as_o for_o defence_n of_o their_o belove_a principle_n shall_v upon_o apparent_a necessity_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o and_o thus_o exhort_v i_o leave_v they_o to_o the_o guidance_n and_o direction_n of_o the_o divine_a insluence_n our_o before_n examine_v author_n lay_v a_o great_a stress_n upon_o the_o diminution_n of_o wage_n to_o soldier_n and_o mariner_n but_o that_o may_v be_v easy_o take_v off_o by_o a_o moderate_a and_o

proceed_v to_o our_o author_n letter_n concern_v gold_n and_o there_o pag._n 1._o he_o say_v that_o silver_n be_v then_o come_v to_o 6_o s._n 2_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n and_o then_o term_v the_o design_n of_o lessen_v the_o weight_n of_o our_o money_n a_o silly_a project_n he_o say_v that_o in_o 30_o year_n past_a there_o have_v be_v coin_v in_o england_n six_o million_o of_o milled_a money_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v hardly_o a_o piece_n of_o it_o now_o pass_v among_o we_o and_o if_o we_o go_v on_o to_o coin_n at_o that_o weight_n fineness_n and_o value_n we_o put_v our_o money_n into_o a_o fit_a condition_n for_o exportation_n he_o and_o i_o have_v before_o often_o differ_v but_o in_o this_o point_n and_o period_n we_o be_v full_o agree_v viz._n that_o the_o weight_n and_o sineness_n of_o our_o money_n be_v the_o prime_a cause_n of_o the_o exportation_n of_o it_o whereby_o it_o be_v quite_o drain_v out_o of_o our_o own_o country_n he_o say_v the_o parliament_n must_v take_v care_n of_o trade_n and_o provide_v that_o the_o balance_n of_o it_o may_v be_v in_o favour_n of_o ourselves_o a_o thing_n easy_a to_o be_v set_v down_o in_o word_n but_o not_o one_o word_n of_o direction_n how_o this_o may_v be_v do_v but_o which_o have_v he_o any_o knowledge_n of_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v discover_v it_o to_o they_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o by_o this_o exhortation_n he_o mean_v make_v i_o one_o of_o the_o commissioner_n for_o the_o regulation_n of_o trade_n and_o then_o by_o my_o extraordinary_a and_o yet_o unrevealed_a knowledge_n in_o trade_n you_o may_v expect_v a_o wonderful_a improvement_n in_o that_o mystery_n but_o yet_o say_v he_o after_o all_o care_n that_o can_v be_v take_v of_o trade_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o if_o you_o do_v not_o suppress_v the_o price_n of_o guineas_n all_o the_o endeavour_n will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n you_o must_v needs_o suppress_v their_o value_n for_o if_o you_o do_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o silver_n money_n in_o the_o nation_n he_o set_v down_o p._n 2d_o proportionable_a value_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n that_o in_o the_o roman_a time_n the_o proportion_n be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o ten_o one_o ounce_n of_o gold_n be_v equal_a in_o value_n to_o ten_o of_o silver_n that_o in_o king_n edw._n the_o three_o time_n it_o be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o eleven_o he_o may_v have_v add_v that_o down_o to_o the_o time_n of_o king_n james_n i._n and_o his_o son_n king_n charles_n the_o proportion_n be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o twelve_o he_o say_v that_o in_o king_n charles_n the_o 2d_n time_n the_o proportion_n be_v of_o little_o more_o than_o of_o one_o to_o fourteen_o and_o that_o now_o it_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v as_o of_o one_o to_o sixteen_o now_o say_v he_o if_o we_o coin_v our_o silver_n at_o the_o old_a weight_n and_o fineness_n which_o he_o say_v we_o certain_o aught_o to_o do_v but_o which_o i_o say_v plain_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v if_o we_o respect_v the_o benefit_n or_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o adjust_a the_o account_n between_o he_o and_o i_o concern_v the_o rate_n of_o guineas_n in_o our_o silver_n money_n until_o we_o can_v come_v to_o a_o consent_n and_o resolution_n concern_v the_o very_a weight_n of_o our_o silver_n money_n his_o silver_n money_n be_v compute_v at_o the_o weight_n of_o 3_o ounce_n and_o 320_o grain_n to_o the_o lib._n of_o money_n and_o i_o to_o the_o weight_n of_o three_o ounce_n only_o and_o this_o must_v needs_o make_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n in_o our_o computation_n concern_v the_o proportion_n of_o value_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n he_o repeat_v again_o that_o 6_o s._n 2_o d._n per_fw-la ounce_n be_v when_o he_o write_v the_o currant_n price_n for_o silver_n deny_v in_o his_o other_o write_n he_o put_v a_o case_n of_o guineas_n and_o silver_n compare_v in_o very_o great_a sum_n sed_fw-la dolus_fw-la versatur_fw-la universalibus_fw-la and_o therefore_o i_o will_v propound_v a_o more_o particular_a computation_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o weight_n of_o a_o guinea_n be_v 128_o grain_n in_o other_o term_n a_o quarter_n of_o a_o ounce_n and_o 8_o odd_a grain_n the_o quarter_n ounce_n hold_v 120_o grain_n to_o compare_v these_o grain_n of_o gold_n to_o the_o value_n of_o so_o many_o of_o my_o grain_n of_o silver_n i_o compute_v that_o my_o quarter_n ounce_n or_o 120_o grain_n of_o silver_n value_v 20_o s._n and_o the_o odd_a 8_o grain_n value_v 1_o s._n ob_fw-la fere_n and_o together_o they_o make_v 21_o s._n ob_fw-la then_o multiply_v this_o by_o 16_o which_o he_o say_v be_v the_o proportion_n between_o gold_n and_o silver_n 16_o time_n 21_o s._n ob_fw-la make_v 344_o s._n and_o these_o put_v into_o our_o ordinary_a count_n of_o money_n make_v 1_o l._n 8_o s._n 8_o d._n of_o which_o we_o will_v strike_v off_o 2_o d._n to_o adjust_a my_o ferè_fw-la and_o then_o there_o will_v remain_v 1_o l._n 8_o s._n 6_o d._n as_o the_o true_a value_n of_o a_o guinea_n according_a to_o the_o weight_n and_o value_n of_o our_o silver_n which_o i_o have_v propound_v to_o be_v accept_v he_o say_v after_o if_o we_o coin_v our_o silver_n of_o the_o ancient_a weight_n and_o fineness_n and_o cut_v it_o out_o into_o 3_o l._n 2_o s._n still_o the_o more_o of_o it_o will_v be_v export_v and_o the_o great_a
