england_n as_o appear_v in_o many_o statute_n un-repealed_n and_o it_o have_v be_v unusual_a with_o parliament_n to_o allow_v as_o motive_n or_o reward_n unto_o invention_n or_o discovery_n more_o than_o 14_o year_n exclusive_a of_o other_o because_o they_o will_v not_o have_v they_o long_o exclude_v yet_o this_o company_n tho'not_v discoverer_n of_o this_o trade_n have_v enjoy_v it_o 37_o year_n and_o if_o example_n be_v of_o force_n we_o have_v many_o company_n which_o have_v have_v their_o determination_n for_o public_a good_a though_o they_o reap_v not_o what_o they_o sow_v as_o the_o canary-company_n in_o king_n charles_n the_o second_v time_n which_o if_o particular_a interest_n must_v be_v consider_v will_v be_v find_v much_o severe_a than_o to_o have_v this_o company_n

the_o oath_n to_o do_v what_o be_v for_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o say_a stock_n though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o public_a if_o we_o may_v judge_v now_o by_o their_o past_a practice_n of_o send_v to_o india_n dyer_n weaver_n and_o throwster_n with_o instrument_n for_o set_v up_o of_o our_o manufacture_n there_o also_o the_o robbery_n and_o murder_n abroad_o and_o the_o great_a

they_o obtain_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n there_o will_v be_v one_o monopoly_n establish_v by_o law_n and_o addition_n to_o it_o will_v spring_v from_o the_o say_a oath_n the_o law_n will_v

hope_n of_o any_o good_a from_o it_o and_o be_v thus_o leprous_a it_o shall_v remain_v alone_o according_a to_o the_o old_a law_n and_o for_o that_o some_o of_o the_o evil_a deed_n be_v do_v in_o the_o east-indies_n by_o the_o pretend_a authority_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n if_o their_o majesty_n in_o parliament_n shall_v dissolve_v the_o now_o company_n we_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o people_n here_o and_o the_o indian_n there_o will_v interpret_v it_o justice_n in_o their_o majesty_n in_o parliament_n to_o be_v faithful_a guardian_n to_o their_o own_o right_n

be_v object_v against_o a_o dissolution_n of_o the_o now_o company_n but_o what_o may_v be_v fair_o answer_v from_o what_o i_o have_v already_o suggest_v and_o will_v further_o say_v the_o innocent_a who_o have_v subscribe_v anew_o and_o be_v not_o afore-concerned_n in_o the_o old_a joint-stock_n will_v see_v cause_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o a_o dissolution_n if_o their_o majesty_n in_o

none_o can_v or_o will_v i_o believe_v think_v it_o ill_o if_o the_o parliament_n notify_v at_o present_a the_o say_a dissolution_n and_o provide_v against_o the_o company_n illegal_a power_n do_v

a_o dissolution_n be_v undeserved_a grace_n to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o old_a stock_n and_o will_v add_v great_a value_n to_o it_o and_o the_o new_a subscriber_n by_o it_o will_v have_v the_o
