64 CERTIFICATE RELATING TO THE MINT. 



There is only one thing more, which is, to put 

 your lordships in mind of the extreme excess in the 

 wasting of both metals, both of gold and silver foliate, 

 which turns the nature of these metals, which ought 

 to be perdurable, ; and makes them perishable, and 

 by consumption must be a principal cause of scar 

 city in them both ; which we conceive may receive a 

 speedy remedy by his majesty s proclamation. 



Lastly, We are humble suitors to your lordships, 

 that for any of these propositions, that your lordships 

 should think fit to entertain in consultations, your 

 lordships would be pleased to hear them debated 

 before yourselves, as being matters of greater weight 

 than we are able to judge of. And so craving your 

 lordships pardon for troubling you so long r we com 

 mend your lordships to God s goodness.
