To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of his Majesties Treasury.

May it please your Lordships

There having been coined almost a million and an half in gold & silver since the last trial of the Pix which was three years ago, I humbly pray that the Pix of this coinage may be tried this summer

Which is most humbly submitted to your Lordships great wisdome
