answer_v to_o all_o the_o material_a objection_n against_o the_o present_a east-india-company_n the_o common_a cause_n assign_v for_o frame_v a_o new_a east-india_n company_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o make_v a_o change_n of_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n be_v such_o as_o these_o follow_v viz._n i._o objection_n because_o the_o present_a company_n have_v procure_v illegal_a power_n from_o the_o late_a and_o former_a king_n of_o england_n and_o have_v execute_v those_o power_n severe_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o interlope_v the_o great_a damage_n of_o many_o honest_a man_n that_o be_v interloper_n and_o have_v cause_v five_o man_n to_o be_v execute_v by_o a_o illegal_a commission_n of_o martial_a law_n in_o the_o island_n st._n helena_n ii_o object_n because_o the_o present_a company_n be_v grow_v up_o unto_o a_o kind_n of_o monopoly_n by_o some_o few_o man_n and_o one_o especial_o have_v purchase_v such_o a_o exorbitant_a share_n thereof_o iii_o object_n that_o the_o present_a company_n have_v not_o stock_n enough_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o trade_n and_o that_o a_o great_a stock_n ought_v and_o may_v be_v employ_v in_o that_o trade_n and_o more_o and_o great_a number_n of_o man_n participate_v thereof_o iv_o object_n that_o one_o man_n have_v aspire_v to_o such_o a_o power_n and_o influence_n upon_o the_o present_a east-india_n committee_n council_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v without_o his_o approbation_n nor_o any_o person_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o committee_n by_o election_n of_o the_o adventurer_n without_o his_o consent_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a influence_n he_o have_v upon_o the_o voice_n or_o suffrage_n of_o the_o elector_n and_o the_o great_a number_n of_o his_o own_o and_o his_o relation_n vote_n to_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o company_n answer_n 1._o they_o have_v neither_o procure_v nor_o execute_v any_o power_n or_o authority_n in_o india_n but_o what_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o english_a dominion_n and_o trade_n there_o nor_o other_o than_o such_o or_o less_o power_n than_o the_o dutch_a and_o every_o european_a nation_n in_o india_n do_v enjoy_v and_o exercise_v to_o a_o infinite_a great_a degree_n of_o severity_n than_o ever_o the_o english_a company_n do_v and_o that_o if_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o new_a company_n establish_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n all_o those_o authority_n which_o the_o company_n have_v by_o any_o charter_n must_v be_v allow_v to_o the_o new_a company_n or_o else_o the_o english_a dominion_n in_o india_n will_v be_v inevitable_o and_o sudden_o lose_v and_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o trade_n follow_v that_o as_o certain_o as_o the_o shadow_n do_v the_o body_n 2._o the_o company_n say_v it_o become_v not_o they_o to_o dispute_v so_o high_a a_o point_n of_o the_o prerogative_n or_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n in_o grant_v charter_n or_o make_v law_n in_o foreign_a plantation_n extra_fw-la england_n wales_n and_o berwick_n but_o this_o they_o know_v very_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n have_v dye_v upon_o several_a occasion_n by_o the_o sword_n and_o common_a executioner_n in_o the_o several_a foreign_a plantation_n but_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o law_n in_o any_o foreign_a plantation_n extra_fw-la england_n wales_n and_o berwick_n aforesaid_a nor_o any_o rebellion_n suppress_v but_o by_o charter_n law_n or_o such_o law_n as_o be_v make_v by_o man_n authorize_v thereunto_o by_o the_o king_n charter_n and_o not_o by_o the_o common_a or_o statute_n law_n of_o england_n 3._o the_o severity_n charge_v upon_o the_o company_n be_v a_o notorious_a falsity_n the_o company_n be_v rather_o chargeable_a with_o hazard_v the_o loss_n of_o india_n by_o too_o much_o lenity_n have_v procure_v from_o his_o late_a majesty_n k._n charles_n a_o indemnity_n to_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o bombay_n and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o st._n helena_n after_o three_o several_a rebellion_n which_o excess_n of_o lenity_n in_o all_o probability_n occasion_v the_o four_o and_o last_o most_o dangerous_a rebellion_n at_o st._n helena_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o bombay_n be_v in_o rebellion_n which_o if_o it_o have_v succeed_v at_o st._n helena_n as_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a to_o do_v have_v any_o less_o wise_a or_o worse_a soldier_n be_v governor_n than_o sir_n john_n blackmore_n it_o have_v in_o all_o probability_n carry_v with_o it_o by_o contagion_n the_o loss_n of_o all_o the_o english_a dominion_n in_o india_n and_o the_o sale_n of_o those_o place_n by_o the_o rebel_n to_o the_o best_a foreign_a chapman_n 4._o it_o be_v well_o know_v where_o the_o english_a have_v execute_v one_o man_n in_o india_n these_o last_o 20_o year_n the_o wise_a dutch_a company_n have_v execute_v many_o hundred_o there_o be_v hardly_o a_o considerable_a factory_a of_o they_o in_o india_n where_o there_o be_v not_o stand_v one_o or_o too_o common_a gibbet_n for_o the_o execute_n of_o malefactor_n beside_o several_a island_n unto_o which_o they_o banish_v for_o life_n and_o to_o hard_a labour_n many_o refractory_a insolent_a mutinous_a people_n of_o their_o own_o nation_n as_o well_o as_o other_o which_o they_o find_v to_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o support_v their_o empire_n upon_o which_o their_o trade_n depend_v well_o know_v that_o general_o speak_v man_n that_o travel_v so_o far_o from_o home_n be_v not_o of_o the_o mild_a temper_n nor_o of_o the_o most_o regular_a life_n nor_o indeed_o governable_a at_o all_o without_o severe_a law_n and_o speedy_a execution_n to_o the_o second_o objection_n viz._n because_o the_o present_a company_n be_v grow_v up_o unto_o a_o kind_n of_o monopoly_n by_o some_o few_o man_n and_o one_o especial_o have_v purchase_v such_o a_o exorbitant_a share_n thereof_o 1._o the_o company_n say_v first_o that_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o company_n be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o dutch_a company_n that_o be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o bound_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n they_o that_o be_v the_o english_a and_o dutch_a company_n respective_o refuse_v admittance_n to_o no_o christian_n of_o any_o nation_n to_o buy_v stock_n neither_o to_o turk_n jew_n nor_o infidel_n the_o more_o the_o better_o all_o that_o buy_v stock_n of_o what_o ever_o nation_n they_o be_v be_v therein_o subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o public_a good_a of_o that_o nation_n to_o which_o such_o east-india_n stock_n belong_v 2._o it_o be_v well_o know_v and_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v at_o all_o time_n the_o great_a share_n of_o action_n in_o the_o dutch_a east-india_n company_n and_o that_o one_o jew_n swasso_n by_o name_n have_v have_v at_o one_o time_n more_o stock_n in_o that_o company_n than_o ever_o any_o english_a man_n have_v or_o have_v in_o this_o 3._o if_o any_o english_a man_n have_v the_o courage_n to_o buy_v and_o increase_v his_o stock_n to_o a_o great_a proportion_n than_o ordinary_a in_o the_o time_n when_o wise_a man_n run_v from_o the_o house_n fear_v it_o will_v immediate_o fall_v on_o their_o head_n by_o the_o practice_n of_o interloper_n that_o man_n certain_o deserve_v rather_o the_o commendation_n that_o the_o wise_a roman_n give_v to_o terentius_n varro_n at_o his_o return_n to_o the_o city_n after_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o battle_n of_o cannae_n quod_fw-la non_fw-la desperasset_fw-la de_fw-fr republica_n than_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o his_o stand_v up_o at_o such_o a_o dangerous_a time_n to_o preserve_v the_o

to_o defend_v and_o improve_v the_o english_a dominion_n and_o trade_n in_o india_n require_v great_a and_o constant_a thoughtfulness_n and_o a_o extraordinary_a measure_n of_o experience_n and_o the_o person_n that_o do_v that_o to_o purpose_n must_v have_v some_o not_o inconsiderable_a reputation_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v that_o any_o such_o person_n will_v be_v at_o the_o requisite_a pain_n in_o such_o a_o affair_n except_o he_o have_v a_o great_a share_n therein_o or_o be_v a_o man_n that_o will_v carve_v for_o himself_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o public_a and_o if_o he_o be_v so_o he_o shall_v not_o hold_v it_o long_o for_o the_o adventurer_n be_v wise_a than_o to_o trust_v such_o a_o one_o much_o or_o often_o it_o be_v well_o
