of_o very_a great_a importance_n to_o the_o trade_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v expect_v that_o he_o shall_v give_v a_o present_a answer_n to_o it_o but_o that_o he_o will_v take_v time_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o and_o in_o a_o short_a time_n give_v they_o his_o positive_a answer_n whereupon_o the_o next_o session_n viz._n lunae_fw-la 14._o die_v novembris_fw-la

such_o liberty_n hereupon_o his_o majesty_n be_v very_o apprehensive_a of_o the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o give_v warning_n to_o the_o company_n because_o they_o will_v be_v then_o less_o solicitous_a of_o promote_a the_o true_a interest_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o trade_n whereof_o they_o can_v not_o long_o reap_v the_o fruit_n and_o that_o no_o new_a company_n can_v be_v immediate_o admit_v to_o it_o so_o that_o this_o very_a beneficial_a trade_n which_o be_v already_o so_o much_o impair_v may_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v entire_o lose_v to_o the_o nation_n his_o majesty_n be_v very_o desirous_a to_o prevent_v so_o great_a a_o mischief_n and_o to_o gratify_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o the_o end_n since_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o without_o great_a hazard_n in_o the_o manner_n they_o propose_v require_v the_o east_n india_n company_n to_o answer_v direct_o whether_o they_o will_v submit_v to_o such_o regulation_n as_o his_o majesty_n shall_v judge_v proper_a and_o most_o likely_a to_o advance_v the_o trade_n and_o the_o company_n have_v full_o agree_v to_o it_o and_o declare_v their_o resolution_n in_o write_v his_o majesty_n command_v a_o committee_n of_o his_o privy_a council_n to_o prepare_v regulation_n which_o they_o do_v and_o offer_v they_o to_o the_o company_n but_o the_o company_n notwithstanding_o their_o declaration_n of_o submission_n reject_v almost_o all_o the_o material_a particular_n so_o that_o his_o majesty_n find_v that_o what_o possible_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o may_v have_v expect_v and_o indeed_o be_v necessary_a to_o preserve_v this_o grade_n can_v not_o be_v perfect_v by_o his_o own_o authority_n alone_o and_o that_o the_o company_n can_v not_o be_v induce_v to_o consent_v to_o any_o such_o regulation_n as_o may_v have_v answer_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o that_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v requisite_a to_o make_v a_o complete_a and_o useful_a

order_n to_o pass_v into_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o may_v establish_v this_o trade_n on_o such_o foundation_n as_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o preserve_v and_o advance_v it_o upon_o this_o message_n the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o take_v into_o consideration_n the_o settlement_n of_o the_o say_a trade_n but_o find_v the_o same_o obstruct_a by_o the_o then_o company_n great_a
