LONDON, Printed for IAM●S BOWLER, and are to be sold at the Marigold, in Paul's Churchyard, 1627.   


The Exchanger.  
BY the Proclamation it is clear; That every Piece not wanting in weight above the Remedies declared in the said Proclamation,  
viz.  

Every Piece of—  Shill. d.  Grains. Not wanting above- 33.  9 Grai. 22.  6. Grai. 16. 6 5. Grai. 11.  4. Grai. 5. 6. 2. Grai. 2. 9 1. Grai.  
Is Currant, and then was and ought to be accepted in payment with abatement of Twopences a Grain, for every grain exceeding the Remedy allowed.  
Now there is no alteration made concerning these Pieces, by the last Proclamation, but they do and remain in the same state and degree, (Money payable upon the same allowance or deduction of Grains,) as they were before the same: as in  
Shill.  Grains 30. Remedy not to exceed 4. ½ 20.  3. 15.  2. ½ 10.  2 5.  1 2. 9d.  ½  
All which Remedies shall be allowed in every Piece accordingly, the same wanting no more, being to pass as if it were of full weight and just value. But if any such piece of Coin shall lack of the true weight thereof, above the Remedies expressed. Then it shall be brought or Carried to the Exchanges or Mint, there again to be melted and converted into Coin.  
This last Proclamation, expressly and by plain terms, Extends unto, 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 ●I shillings, uj pence. And therefore, for as much as all un-even Pieces of jacobus, half 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, II. shillings ix. pence. It is most clear, That the same Pieces are not at all comprehended, or altered by the said last Proclamation; but do and are now Currant and payable upon 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 Pices Currant for the values mentioned in the last Proclamation whereof the same did dispose, leaving the others to be in such degree and state as they were: As also for that, The principal intention might be to preserve upright his Majesty's, even Coins. And therefore, the Tender of such Pieces, upon allowance and deduction for want of weight agreeable to the former Proclamation, is good and not confronted by the latter: But aught to be accepted of upon all payments of bonds, Bills of Exchange, and contracts, and duties, whatsoever and wheresoever. And this agreeth with the general Opinion of Lawyers, And the most usual practice of all men, and as Examples here follows.
