thing_n and_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o without_o their_o assistance_n they_o will_v never_o have_v be_v able_a to_o put_v so_o glorious_a a_o end_n to_o the_o war_n as_o they_o do_v we_o see_v by_o this_o what_o advantage_n commerce_n be_v to_o a_o state_n when_o it_o be_v regulate_v with_o prudence_n and_o by_o able_a merchant_n who_o have_v all_o protection_n and_o no_o constraint_n but_o what_o need_v we_o go_v out_o of_o france_n for_o example_n to_o show_v how_o important_a commerce_n be_v to_o a_o nation_n we_o need_v only_o consider_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o have_v be_v do_v under_o the_o glorious_a reign_n of_o our_o great_a monarch_n and_o the_o almost_o infinite_a sum_n which_o have_v be_v disburse_v as_o well_o to_o support_v the_o war_n against_o all_o the_o

which_o trade_n especial_o that_o with_o spain_n bring_v into_o france_n for_o we_o have_v no_o mine_n to_o supply_v we_o what_o then_o will_v have_v be_v the_o consequence_n have_v commerce_n be_v protect_v and_o encourage_v in_o france_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o in_o such_o case_n we_o may_v have_v say_v of_o france_n what_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v of_o jerusalem_n that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o solomon_n gold_n and_o silver_n be_v as_o common_a as_o stone_n if_o england_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o by_o the_o vent_n of_o her_o tin_n lead_v and_o sea-coal_n have_v amass_v such_o riches_n what_o may_v one_o not_o have_v believe_v france_n will_v have_v gain_v which_o beside_o her_o manufacture_n of_o wool_n silk_n linen_n hat_n paper_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v eager_o seek_v after_o by_o all_o the_o world_n supply_v other_o country_n with_o wine_n brandy_n wheat_n salt_n oil_n and_o fruit_n of_o all_o sort_n for_o immense_a sum_n this_o abundance_n and_o great_a plenty_n of_o our_o merchandise_n so_o necessary_a and_o useful_a to_o our_o neighbour_n make_v my_o lord_n bellasis_n say_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v one_o day_n make_v the_o turk_n know_v what_o they_o can_v do_v at_o sea_n and_o the_o french_a how_o far_o they_o may_v extend_v their_o commerce_n all_o europe_n will_v soon_o fall_v a_o conquest_n to_o those_o power_n i_o shall_v only_o give_v one_o instance_n more_o to_o show_v how_o nothing_o but_o commerce_n can_v enrich_v a_o kingdom_n let_v we_o therefore_o turn_v our_o eye_n to_o spain_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v no_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n have_v so_o little_a gold_n and_o silver_n as_o the_o spaniard_n though_o those_o two_o metal_n grow_v in_o such_o prodigious_a quantity_n in_o their_o dominion_n other_o nation_n notwithstanding_o be_v better_o provide_v therewith_o on_o account_n of_o the_o great_a vent_n their_o

neglect_v commerce_n and_o establish_v several_a manufacture_n in_o dominion_n of_o so_o vast_a and_o large_a extent_n it_o be_v this_o negligence_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a spring_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o france_n and_o while_o france_n trade_v with_o spain_n she_o never_o want_v gold_n or_o silver_n not_o even_o during_o those_o long_a and_o difficult_a war_n let_v we_o only_o look_v back_o and_o consider_v what_o condition_n france_n be_v in_o by_o the_o pyrenean_n treaty_n notwithstanding_o a_o long_a war_n of_o above_o twenty_o five_o year_n and_o all_o those_o she_o have_v since_o sustain_v even_o to_o our_o day_n it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v wish_v we_o will_v open_v our_o eye_n soon_o enough_o and_o take_v notice_n of_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o much_o importance_n and_o so_o necessary_a as_o commerce_n and_o endeavour_v to_o know_v how_o to_o take_v such_o measure_n as_o may_v bring_v to_o a_o good_a issue_n that_o on_o which_o in_o some_o manner_n depend_v the_o happiness_n of_o all_o his_o majesty_n subject_n and_o the_o grandeur_n of_o the_o nation_n we_o frenchman_n have_v be_v reproach_v and_o perhaps_o not_o without_o some_o reason_n that_o the_o
