A54635	Britannia languens: or, A discourse of trade shewing, that the present management of trade in England, is the true reason of the decay of our manufactures, and the late great fall of land-rents; and that the increase of trade, in the method it now stands in, must proportionably decay England. Wherein is particularly demonstrated, that the East-India Company, as now managed, has already near destroyed our trade in those parts, as well as that with Turky, and in short time must necessarily beggar the nation. Humbly offered to the consideration of this present Parliament.	Petyt, William, 1636-1707.	1689 (1689)	Wing P1947; ESTC R218978	144,323	343

by_o all_o this_o account_n of_o their_o trade_n and_o riches_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o some_o of_o our_o maxim_n be_v not_o so_o certain_a as_o they_o be_v currant_n in_o our_o common_a politic_n as_o first_o that_o the_o example_n and_o encouragement_n of_o excess_n and_o luxury_n if_o employ_v in_o the_o consumption_n of_o native_a commodity_n be_v of_o advantage_n to_o trade_n the_o custom_n or_o humour_n of_o luxury_n and_o expense_n can_v stop_v at_o certain_a bound_n what_o begin_v in_o native_a will_v proceed_v in_o foreign_a commodity_n and_o though_o the_o example_n rise_v among_o idle_a person_n yet_o the_o imitation_n will_v run_v into_o all_o degree_n even_o of_o those_o by_o who_o industry_n the_o nation_n subsist_v and_o beside_o the_o more_o of_o our_o own_o we_o

we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v poor_a whereas_o when_o we_o drive_v a_o very_a small_a traffic_n abroad_o yet_o by_o sell_v so_o much_o more_o than_o we_o buy_v we_o be_v very_o rich_a in_o
