summary:
  New England incomparably is the worst Land of the three , and yet the richest People of them all , and increasing dayly to a miracle , unto those that know not that by their Laws about Interest of Money , they must necessarily suck the Blood of the other two places , with whom they have a constant intercourse in Trade ; which in effect is the same as if they lent them money . Whereas when Money is here at four per cent , the Usurer that hath his Money out at present upon Mortgages , will find his Security he already hath bettered , and therefore it will be his wisdom to continue it , that Land being then worth 2600 l. which is now worth but 2000 l. and the Merchant or Tradesmen tha● he knew six per cent . would ruine , may subsist under four per cent . and consequently the Usurer will not be so jealous of his standing , as it appears they are not in Holland , because that at a low rate they may live comfortably , that must break at a high .

  Several objections against the reducement of interest propounded in a letter with the Answer thereunto.

summary:
  So were the gain of lending now reduced to a nearer correspondence with that of other dealings , by the same good omen , it might soon appear , that among our Legions of Creditours , there would be enough greatly to raise the value of our Lands ●y purchasing ; Enough , vastly to agument the bulk of our commerce by Trading , and ●et enough , if not too many to Lend at Interest : However our comfort is , they would ●en , Live , and let Live , this being the principal end herein aimed at , and indeed most ●●portant to the Commonwealth , that such as will not use their own stock , may , ( if not ●or private conscience , yet for publick good , ) afford a Pennyworth to those that manage for them , of whom it is certain , that now ( in husbandry at least , ) not one of twenty ●oth , or can , with his best condu●● , thrive , But in truth this objection of prejudicing ●ebtours , by the sudden and general calling in of sums for better employment , answers it ●elf by granting all that is required : For who sees not , that such a summons necessarily im●orts great store of Purchasing whereby the Market of our Lands would be exceeding ●ickned , all that have Estates to more in value then their debts , abundantly gratified for ●eir trouble , if any they should receive , and enabled to relieve themselves by ●onvenient sale ; And the Gentry being this in good measure disenthralled ; Bor●●wing would soon become more easie and tolerable to Tradesmen , who now ●●stly complain , that Credit is almost engrossed by Land : Certainly the Notion of rui●●ng Borrowers by abatement of Interest , ( if the parties concerned would vouchsafe to ●●nsider it , ) is not much unlike that of undoing Tenants by letting them good penny●orths , and punishing Landlords with ease of their Taxes . It will be almost impossible at four , because men will rather keep their monies in their Ch●sts , then run so great a hazard , ( as Lenders they say now do , ) for so small a profit , By others , it is offered by way of grave and friendly advice to Borrowers , that they take heed what they do ,

summary:
  And yet that which is aboue all the rest , the greatest sinne against the Land is , that it makes the Land it selfe of small value , neerer the rate of new-found Lands , than of any other Countrie ▪ where Lawes , gouernement , and peace , haue so long flourished ; For the high rate of Vsury makes Land sell so cheape ; and the cheape sale of Land is the cause men seeke no more by industry and cost to improue them : and this is plaine both by example , and demonstration ; for we see in other Countries , where the vse of money is of a low rate , Lands are generally sold for 30. Now because I know mens priuate interests doth many times blinde their iudgements , and least any may be tempted for their owne , against the publique good , I will desire them to remember , that if they haue Lands as well as money , that what they loose in their money they shall get it in their Land ; for Land and money are euer in ballance one against the other , and where money is deere , Land is cheape ; and where money is cheape , Land is deere .

  A discourse of the nature, use and advantages of trade Proposing some considerations for the promotion and advancement thereof, by a registry of lands. Preventing the exportation of coyn. Lowering the interest of money. Inviting foreign families into England.

summary:
  Every occasion therefore , of exporting it in Specie , without bringing in as profitable a Return of money in a circulation of Trade , tends to the impoverishment of the Nation , and brings a manifest decay on Trade ; Money being as necessary for the carrying on of Trade , as Nerves and Sinews are for the motion of the Natural Body . Now as the produce of Land is a principal Foundation of Trade ; And the good management of Land gives the greater Life and Vigor to Trade : So it must be consider'd , that Money is the common Standard and valuation of most Commodities in Traffick and Commerce ; And if such Money be wanting when Commodities are exposed to Sale , a great part of Trade is prevented thereby ; the Command of ready Money giving more easie and quick Dispatches and Returns in Trade , then can possibly be effected without it , wherefore it is our Publick Interest , that Coin should be continually passing from one to another ; in the disposal whereof , there is always something of Gain to both Parties , having their ends in Traffick , tho' in different Respects .

summary:
  V. 'T is in the very nature of Wages , which are so variable , that perhaps the same Rate , being but half Pay in Countreys near London , proves double Hire in the remoter Parts of England . V. The corrupting of the People is a certain and genuine Effect of embasing the Land ; for 't is one and the same Mischief which oppresses Masters , and debauches Servants , viz Cheapness without Plenty .

summary:
  In this and the two former propositions by ,06 is understood the Compound Interest of 1 l. for a year , and when the payment is by quarters or half years , instead thereof must be put in the Interest of a quarter or half a year . This is the hardest of Annuity Problems , and not to be resolved with Logarithms without Position or Trials ; the use is to find the value of any other Number of Years therein : To facilitate which , observe , That by Prop. 8. for 21 years at 6 per Cent.

Together with a familiar and inoffensive way propounded for the future discovery of summes at interest, that so they may be charged with their equal share of publick taxes and burthens, the long defect whereof hath exceedingly fomented usury, embased land, and much decay'd the better half of the kingdom.

summary:
  So that whatever this Author , or any one else may say , Money is brought into England by nothing but spending here less of Foreign Commodities , than what we carry to Market can pay for ; Nor can Debts we owe to Foreigners be paid by Bills of Exchange , till our Commodities Exported , and Sold beyond Sea , have produced Money or Debts due there , to some of our Merchants ; for nothing will pay Debts but Money or Moneys worth , which three or four Lines writ in Paper cannot be ; for if they have an intrinsick value , and can serve instead of Money , why do we not send them to Market instead of our Cloth , Lead and Tin ? and at an easier rate purchase the Commodities we want .
