It has been usual for the MrsMasters & WrsWorkers of his MajtsMajestys Mint to give 2000℔ security to yethe King before yethe sealing of the Indenture of yethe Mint & to mention the same in yethe Indenture. Thus did SrSir Robt Harley in yethe 2d year of K. Cha: II & Mr Slingsby in yethe 22th year of yethe same King. Mr Neale being in debt &c made his way into the place by granting away half yethe profits thereof yethe place to other Officers of yethe Mint & giving 15000℔ security to yethe King & had time given him to find this security after yethe sealing of his Indenture. But his Melter Mr Ambrose (thoughthrough whose hands all yethe coynage was to passes) gave but 2000℔ security to Mr Neale. The Coynage being now much less then in yethe time of any of the Masters & Workers above mentioned, if yoryour LordpsLordships please to accept of yethe usual security of 12000℔ & approve of yethe RtRight HonbleHonourable for bondsmen, I am ready to give it speedily that it may be entred in yethe Indenture now to be engrossedsealed. All wchwhich is most humbly submitted
