And yet how bad soeuer this fashion may justly bee accompted, certaine
of the same Countrymen do passe farre beyond it, as thus: The Marchant,
that hee may stand assured to haue Tynne for his money, at the time
of Coynage or deliuerance, besides his trade of lone abouementioned,
layeth out diuers summes beforehand, vnto certaine Cornishmen, owners
of Tynworkes, or otherwise of knowne sufficiencie, who are bound to
deliuer for the same, so many thousands of Tynne, as [16] the money
shal amount vnto, after the price agreed vpon at the Coinages. To
these hungrie flies, the poore labouring Tynner resorteth, desiring
some money before the time of his pay at the deliuerance: the other
puts him off at first, answering he hath none to spare: in the end,
when the poore man is driuen through necessitie to renew his suite, he
fals to questioning, what hee will do with the money. Saith the
Tynner, I will buy bread and meate for my selfe and my houshold, and
shooes, hosen, peticoates, & such like stuffe for my wife and
children.
