Reproduction of original in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

TOVCHING The Currancie in payment of our English Gold. AS ALSO , A Table of the seuerall Worths of all Pieces vncurrant through want of weight , at his Majesties Exchanges at London . Calculated according to the Number of Graines wanting . Most Necessarie for all . That the true Value of the vncurrant Coyne may bee knowne . LONDON . Printed by B. A. and T. F. for Ben. Fisher , and are to bee sold at his Shop at the signe of the Talbot without Aldersgate . To the Reader . THere hauing beene much doubt made ( occasioning much difficultie , delay , and differences in payments of Money ) whether the vn-euen pieces of Gold , viz. XXII . Shillings pieces , &c. were Currant with such Allowances of Graines , as heretofore , before the last Proclamation . To cleere such scruples ; and declare the seuerall worths of all vncurrant Coyne exceeding the Remedies . To the end . All may know , what such lightned Pieces will truely make : whereby they may bee much eased . I haue Calculated the prises of the same , and what it will make at his Maiesties Exchanges ; for the ease and direction of All men , that haue occasion to deliuer or receiue the same . THE ADVICE . WHEREAS , By his late Majesties Proclamation made for suppressing of light Gold , amongst other things and reasons therof ( therin more largely expressed ) it is Contayned in these words . viz. AND therefore , Wee doe hereby straightly Charge and forbid , vpon pain of Contempt & incurring our High displeasure ; That no person or persons , from and after Midsomer next comming , in any Countie of our Realme , doe presume to take , receiue , or deliuer in payment , any Piece of our Gold Coyne ( and formerly by vs aduanced ) at the rates aforesaid , beeing clipped , washed , or any other way vnlawfully diminished , or lacking of his just weight therof , otherwise , then according to the Rates hereafter seuerally expressed . And with the Allowance formerly set down in our former Proclamation . That is to say : 1. In euery Piece Currant for Thirtie-three-shillings , the Remedie shall not exceed , Foure Graines and a halfe . 2. Twentie-two-shilling Pieces , shall not exceed , Three Graines . 3. Sixteene-shillings Six-pence Pieces , shall not exceed , Two Graines and a halfe . 4. Eleuen-shillings Pieces , shall not exceed , Two Graines and a halfe . 5. Fiue-shilling Six-pence Pieces , shall not exceed , T●● Graines . 6. Two shillings Nine-pence Pieces , shall not exceed , Halfe a Graine . All which Remedies shall bee allowed in euery Piece accordingly , and no deduction or abatement to bee made for the same , but to passe as if it were of full weight and just value . But if any such piece of Coyne lacking of his weight aboue the said Remedies , shall from and after Midsommer next comming , bee offered in payment by any person or persons within this our Realme ; Our will and pleasure then is , That for so many Graines more or lesse as the Piece shall bee lighter then the Remedies so as aforesaid allowed . Euery person or persons , that so offereth the same in payment , shall also , at the same time pay and allow ; after the rate of Two-pence the Graine to him that receiueth it , for euery Graine wanting aboue the Remedies respectiuely : AND euery Person or persons , vnto whom the same is offered to bee payed , with these allowances , shall accept the same in payment , as if the same were full and just weight , any thing Contayned in our former Proclamation to the contrary notwithstanding . PROVIDED alwayes , That if any such Piece of Gold so offered in payment , after the time aforesaid , shall want aboue the number of so many more Graines then are allowed for the Remedies respectiuely ▪ ( As if the Piece of Twentie and two shillings , shall want more then three Graines aboue the Remedie allowed , or the piece of Eleuen-shillings , more then two Graines aboue the Remedie . And so of all the rest respectiuely . ) Then our will and pleasure is , that in all payments betwixt partie and partie , the same shall not onely be refused without all redemption , but that euery person or persons , to whom such tender of payments bee made , shall brand the same , by striking a hole in euery of the said Pieces so offered in payment as likewise of any other Peice as shall bee found Sowdered or vnlawfully Imbased : Rendring those Peices so stricken thorough then presently after to the owners , according as was ordered by a Proclamation made by our deare Sister and late Queene ELIZABETH , in the Nine and twentieth yeere of her Raigne vpon like occasion . Giuen , &c. By this Proclamation it is cleere ; That euery Piece not wanting in weight aboue the Remedies declared in the said Proclamation , viz. Euery Piece of — Shil . Pence . Graines . XXXIII . s. Not wanting aboue - 9. Grai . XXII . s. 6 Grai . XVI . s. vj. d. 5. Grai . XI . s. 4. Grai . V. s. vj. d. 4. Grai . II. s. ix . d. 1. Grai . Is Currant , and then was and ought to bee accepted in payment with abatement of Two-pence a Graine , for euery graine exceeding the Remedie allowed . Now there is no alteration made concerning these Pieces , by the last Proclamation , but they doe & remaine in the same state and degree , ( Money payable vpon the same allowance or deduction of Graines , ) as they were before the same . The words of which last Proclamation for so much as concerns the Currancie of Coyne being , as followeth : ITEM , to the end to avoyd and put to our Coyne all Gold money currant within this our Realme , being clipped , washed , or by any other meanes vnlawfully diminished , or lacking of the iust weight thereof , otherwise then according to the rates hereafter seuerally expressed , And with the allowance of the Remedies set downe in diuers former Proclamations of Queene ELIZABETH , and of our late Father of blessed memorie . That is to say : 1. In euery Piece Currant for Thirtie Shillings , the Remedie and abatement , shall not exceed , Foure Graines and a halfe . 2. The Twentie shilling Pieces , shall not exceede , Three Graines . 3. The Fifteene-shillings Piece , shall not exceed , Two graines and a halfe . 4. The Tenne-shillings Piece , shall not exceede , Two Graines . 5. The Fiue-shillings piece , shall not exceed , One Graine . 6. The Two-shillings Six-pence piece , the Remedie and abatement shall not exceed , Halfe a Graine . All which Remedies shall be allowed in euery Piece accordingly , the same wanting no more , being to passe as if it were of full weight and just value . But if any such piece of Coyne shall lacke of the true weight thereof , aboue the Remedies before expressed . Then wee doe straightly Charge and Command , That no person or persons whatsoeuer , shall acept or offer them in payment , vpon any allowance or defatuation for want of weight whatsoeuer , but that the same be and stand denied downe , and vncurrant . And that it shall be lawfull for any person or persons whatsoeuer , when offer of payment of any the said pieces lightned as aforesaid shall be made to brand the same by striking a hole in euery of them said pieces so offered in payment , rendring the pieces so branded , then presently after to the owners thereof againe . Which said Lightned or Branded Pieces , Our pleasure is , shall bee brought or Carried to our Exchanges or Mint , there againe to bee molten and conuerted into Coyne . This last Proclamation , expresly and by plaine termes , Extends vnto , and Comprehends only such Pieces , which at the time of the said Proclamation were Currant , for , and at the rates expressed in the same , viz. At XXX . shillings , XX. shillings , XV. shillings , X. shillings , V ▪ shillings , and II. shillings , vj. pence . And therefore , for as much as all vn-euen Pieces of Iacobus , halfe Quarters , and Eights , were at the time of the said last Proclamation Currant for other values , viz. For XXXIII . shillings , XXII . shillings . XVI . shillings vj. pence , XI . shillings , V. shillings vj. pence , and II. shillings ix . pence . It is most cleere , That the same Pieces are not at all comprehended , or altered by the said last Proclamation ; but doe and are now currant and payable vpon the same allowances and deductions for want of weight , as they were before the publishing of the same . And the rather , For that there were then pieces Currant for the values mentioned in the last Proclamation whereof the same did dispose , leauing the others to bee in such degree and state as they were : As also for that , The principall intention might bee to preserue vpright his Majesties , euen Coynes ( whereof great Quantities haue bin Coyned ) being yet in good state ; without much regard being had to the other , forasmuch as no more of the said vneuen Coynes are purposed to bee Coyned . AND therefore , the Tender of such Pieces , vpon allowance and deduction for want of weight agreeable to the former Proclamation , is good and not confronted by the latter ? But ought to bee accepted of vpon all payments of bonds , bills of Exchange , and contracts , and duties , whatsoeuer and wheresoeuer ; The partie refusing such payments not onely endamaging himselfe by the delay : but incurring the paine of the former Proclamation , by refusall of such monyes , as his Maiestie makes Currant by his Proclamation . And this agreeth with the generall Opinion of Lawyers , And the most vsuall practise of all men . Odde Pieces . The XXXIII . shillings Piece waight , is 9d . waight . 16. Graines . 4. Mites .
