down_o both_o negative_o and_o positive_o first_o what_o it_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o complain_v of_o second_o what_o it_o be_v that_o they_o conceive_v they_o have_v just_a reason_n to_o complain_v of_o and_o desire_n relief_n as_o to_o the_o first_o they_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o hinder_v the_o trade_n and_o commerce_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o be_v so_o far_o from_o it_o that_o they_o desire_v the_o increase_n of_o all_o our_o own_o manufacture_n as_o one_o of_o the_o best_a mean_n of_o increase_n in_o it_o nor_o do_v they_o desire_v the_o hindrance_n of_o any_o

they_o be_v hinder_v from_o free_o export_v the_o native_a product_n of_o the_o land_n to_o be_v manufacture_v beyond_o sea_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o owler_n or_o because_o they_o be_v hinder_v from_o bring_v in_o all_o sort_n of_o provision_n to_o serve_v instead_o of_o the_o product_n of_o our_o own_o land_n or_o because_o they_o be_v hinder_v from_o send_v out_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o bring_v n_o lieu_n thereof_o such_o manufactured_a good_n as_o shall_v serve_v instead_o of_o our_o own_o great_a manufacture_n which_o use_v to_o employ_v the_o large_a number_n of_o our_o poor_a in_o all_o these_o case_n and_o and_o other_o such_o like_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o whatever_o cry_v such_o man_n make_v of_o the_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n it_o be_v to_o the_o nation_n to_o hinder_v their_o trade_n and_o commerce_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o design_n than_o their_o own_o private_a gain_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o in_o particular_a though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o extreme_a damage_n and_o prejudice_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o general_a for_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o nation_n to_o get_v by_o that_o trade_n the_o merchant_n lose_v by_o as_o the_o aforementioned_a author_n relate_v and_o exemplify_v so_o it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o wit_n he_o be_v so_o much_o a_o

and_o be_v impoverish_v by_o as_o for_o example_n suppose_v a_o merchant_n send_v 10000_o l._n to_o india_n and_o bring_v over_o for_o it_o as_o much_o wrought_a silk_n and_o paint_a calico_n as_o

notwithstanding_o the_o merchant_n have_v make_v a_o very_a profitable_a adventure_n and_o so_o proportionable_o the_o more_o and_o often_o he_o send_v the_o fast_o he_o grow_v rich_a and_o the_o more_o the_o nation_n be_v impoverish_v second_o it_o be_v not_o any_o suppression_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n in_o general_a that_o they_o desire_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o very_a
