Adam had no absolute authority by
God's appointment, 227, &c.
the grant (Gen. i. 28) gave
him no power over men, 228
the same grant was given to
all men,
233
supposing he was proprietor
of all things, this proves not his
sovereignty,

235
his absolute dominion not
proved by Eve's subjection, 244
of the conveyance of his sup-
posed monarchical power, 273
the absurdity of supposing
any one heir of his autho-
rity,

the true heir, 292, 302, &c.

the cause of melting it down,
90

it is better for the public to
be milled than hammered, 91
raising the denomination
will not hinder the exportation

the value of it should be kept
as steady as possible, 103
-the proportion should always
be exactly kept between that of
gold and silver,

constant equality of its value,

making it lighter than it
should be is unjust, 109, &c.
lowering it, no advantage in

why so little is sometimes

coined,

Money, it is really valuable ac-
cording to its weight, 139.-
This must be understood of
silver without the alloy, 140
why so much was coined
in queen Elizabeth's time, and
after,
130
-how it answers all things, 139
the denomination alters not
the intrinsic value, ibid.
lessening its real value is
worse than clipping, 146

its being current only for its
weight, is the most effectual way
to stop the mischief of clipping,
147
it is necessary in proportion to
the plenty of it in neighbouring
nations,
148
it will always be of equal
value with the same weight of
standard silver,

what causes the exportation
of it,
160

it ought not to be made
lighter, though silver were
grown dearer,
164

lessening it would be a gain
to money-hoarders, but a loss to
others,
166
by making it one-fifth light-

if a crown of it (e. g.) be

lowering its value will not

ibid.
it cannot be of the full price

the latter,

the true raising it is by put-
