     summary: A low Exchange exporteth our money in specie , for gaine ; wherefore neither high , nor low Exchange is advantageous , but prejudiciall to us , only now a medium is the best ; giving leave to plenty or scarcitie , as necessity or plenty inviteth , and most agreeable to right and equity to all men ; which otherwise carryed , they have three wayes of exportation ; namely , by commodities , monyes , and exchange ; But there are but two wayes of importation ; namely , commodities , and Exchange , whereby commeth a notable over-ballancing of forraine commodities ; and bee assured , the gaines to bee sought upon moneys , doth impeach the gaines to bee had upon our commodities , and beateth downe our prices at home , and our commodities being beat downe , it is a great cause of carrying out our moneys to fulfill , or equall the ballance . And first to prove the Marchant Exchange un-equally carried , is the efficient cause of exporting our money , give me leave to know whether plenty of moneys make our prices to rise , and scarcitie of money make small prices , Wch no man ( I think )

     summary: Your Honors iudgement shall easily perceiue , that the Paradoxes are opposite , and do contradict one another , besides the slender and weake ground of their foundation : as also that Maister Bodine hath mistaken the true ground of the matter , by comparing the prices of things within themselues in a Common-wealth : whereas the comparison must be betweene the home Commodities of one Common-wealth , and the forraine Commodities of other nations : and that , either by way of permutation of Commodities for Commodities , or by Commodities for money in specie , or by exchange . The consideration then must be , not to compare things within themselues in the Commonwealth where we do liue ; but betweene vs and other nations with whom we deale , either by way of permutation of Commodities for Commodities , or Commodities for money in specie , or by exchange .

Though these payments may seem too slow to set the Bank in credit , especially after the Coin is regulated , and men will be less fond of Bills than they have been ; yet such a Fund can never fail of commanding money where it is needfull ; nor will men unnecessarily call for money , while they can have so good Bills ; especially if this Bank were established by Ast of Parliament : in consequence of which it would soon become a Registry for most of the Lands in the Kingdom , and if it were made so for such as would voluntarily enter their Lands and Incumbrances , or the Claims which they have ; and were 100000 l. per An ▪ settled for 40 Years for 1600000 l. to the publick ( whereas the Bank of England has in effect a perpetuity for 1200000 l. it would make this Bank no mean Rival to that of Amsterdam ; besides the raising Land to 40 Years purchase generally , and that in Bank to much more . Nor can it be thought that the Landed-men , who must needs have the prevailing Interest in Parliament , can long neglect those Advantages , which would set them upon an equal bottom with the Traders and Usurers .

     summary: You 'll please to note , Sir , that I had the Caution to say , that it could not rise ( in that sence ) with respect to Forreigners ; and yet I 'll make it as plain to you , that ( excepting a small matter ) silver is not really capable of rising and falling amongst our selves ; for this seeming and nominal Advance upon it was indeed no advance at all , for you must note , that he that bought silver at 7 s. per Ounce , was to pay for 't either in Guinea's at 30 s. ( and in that sort of Payment his Ounce of silver was indeed worth about 7 s. 3 d. ) or in the clipt and counterfeit Money , of which perhaps the true value of what was call'd 7 s. might not be 4 s. but you may assure your self , that none of these Buyers of silver would give a new mill'd Crown and a 6 d. for an ounce of silver , because they know how to throw them into the melting Pot , and bring out above the weight of an ounce ; and this Rule is so certain , that it can never vary more than such a Value , as People will be content to give for silver when they have occasion to transport it , rather than incur the danger of the Law by melting down , or transporting the currant Coin ; and that difference ( when our currant Money was good ) hath rarely been known to be more than 3 d. or 4 d. per Ounce : If you should yet have the least scruple , pray try whether you can by any sort of reasoning perswade your self , that an Ounce of ●nncoyn'd Silver can have more real Value in it than an Ounce of Silver of the same fineness coyn'd into Money , as a late Ingenious Author hath well observed . Gent. But now you 'll readily agree with me , that if the French King should raise the Denomination of his Crown , and cause it to pass among his own People for 4 Livers , we should still esteem it worth no more than 4 s. 6 d. as we did before , because it had nothing added to its former weight of Silver ; so that in reality the true value of Money is only to be reckoned by the weight of the Silver and Gold that it bears , and t is altogether needless for us to trouble our Heads with the nice distinction of extrinsic , intrinsic , and real Value , for it must all be resolv'd into this one Proposition of Weight , every Man's or Nation 's Riches being truly to be measured , according to the more or less weight of Silver which they possess : And that I may give you an infallible Demonstration that silver is only a standard to its self , and as such , is not capable of being rais'd or lower'd with respect to Forreigners :

     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 . Si●v●r th●t is worth but 5 s. 2 d. per Ounce at the 〈◊〉 is w●●th 5 s. 4 d. elsewhere .

     summary: First , It is believed by some Authors , ( and not without Reason ) that in the most Ancient times , when Money was first Coined within this Island , it was made of * Pure Gold and Silver , like the Moneys now Currant in some other Nations , particularly in Hungary and Barbary , where they have Pieces of Gold called Ducats and Sultanesses ; and in the Kingdom of Industan , where they have Pieces of Silver called Rupees , which I have seen , and wherein ( as I am inform'd ) there is little or no Allay : And that afterwards it being found convenient in the Fabrication of the Moneys , to have a certain Quantity or Proportion of Baser Metal to be mixt with the Pure Gold and Silver , the Word Sterling was introduced , and hath ever since been used , to denote the certain Proportion or Degree of Fineness , which ought to be retained in the respective Coins composed of such mixture , as aforesaid . And it is freely submitted to Impartial Judgments , whether the propos'd Advance of Silver in the Coins can infer a Real Loss upon any Persons , other than such as can propose to themselves particularly the Receipt of Moneys in Weighty or Unclipt Pieces only , and the Conversion thereof to an Advantage , which Law or Reason would not allow them .

     summary: Ans. You would indeed have ⅓ part more of the new christned Shillings ; but not an Ounce more of Silver , nor Money ; nor could you get an Ounce more of Forreign Commodities for all your new multiplied Money than before : Nor even of any Domestick Commodities ; but perhaps a little at first from the few Fools above mentioned . It looks like a Demonstration that it is : Yet if Gold be not Money , but a Commodity next like to Money , and that Silver be only Money ; then we must see whether 1000 Jacobusses would then purchase no more Silver than 1000 Guineas will do now :
