much_o more_o for_o the_o good_a government_n and_o husband_v their_o estate_n a_o thing_n not_o dishonourable_a for_o any_o to_o be_v well_o verse_v in_o his_o own_o business_n which_o cause_v the_o

beside_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o merchant_n for_o most_o part_n be_v of_o the_o same_o stock_n and_o family_n for_o gentry_n though_o the_o young_a branch_n and_o many_o perhaps_o wanti●g_v

from_o one_o generation_n to_o a_o other_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a in_o england_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o riches_n will_v quick_o belong_v to_o merchant_n and_o

such_o often_o fail_n and_o bankrupt_n yet_o since_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o great_a cause_n which_o make_v many_o noble_a family_n in_o italy_n so_o to_o continue_v merch●nts_n be_v that_o

a_o merchant_n be_v bless_v with_o a_o competent_a estate_n to_o retire_v himself_o from_o the_o care_n and_o trouble_n of_o the_o world_n which_o certain_o a_o merchant_n of_o great_a deal_n be_v

perhaps_o little_o think_v on_o undoubted_o not_o so_o much_o as_o shall_v have_v be_v as_o also_o that_o young_a merchant_n i_o mean_v young_a brother_n or_o such_o as_o have_v little_a or_o no_o

merchandize_a exchange_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o pass_v a_o word_n thereon_o by_o overbalance_v of_o trade_n be_v mean_v that_o we_o bring_v into_o and_o consume_v in_o england_n foreign_a commodity_n for_o a_o great_a valow_a than_o we_o send_v and_o sell_v of_o our_o native_a commodity_n abroad_o by_o which_o mean_v we_o come_v indebt_v to_o foreign_a nation_n and_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o pay_v or_o exting●ish_v it_o but_o by_o transport_v of_o our_o money_n which_o will_v utter_o ruin_v a_o trade_n and_o kingdom_n in_o the_o end_n for_o answer_v whereunto_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o though_o great_a quantity_n of_o foreign_a ware_n toe_n be_v bring_v in_o than_o we_o send_v out_o of_o native_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v necessari●y_o that_o our_o gold_n and_o silver_n must_v go_v to_o pay_v for_o they_o in_o regard_n that_o italian_a spania●d_n french_a and_o dutch_a do_v many_o time_n freight_v english_a ship_n whereby_o good_a sum_n of_o money_n be_v yearly_a raise_v by_o our_o nation_n abroad_o and_o may_v serve_v to_o pay_v for_o the_o advance_n of_o foreign_a commodity_n that_o we●_n bring_v in_o at_o least_o for_o such_o a_o proportion_n as_o this_o

d●scourse_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o our_o trade_n of_o native_a commodity_n be_v not_o overbalance_v by_o the_o foreign_a nor_o gold_n and_o silver_n convey_v out_o unless_o first_o b●ought_v in_o in_o so_o large_a manner_n as_o be_v suppose_v for_o there_o be_v no_o mine_n in_o england_n that_o produce_v any_o store_n and_o we_o have_v likely_a at_o present_a though_o conceal_v as_o much_o ready_a money_n as_o ever_o at_o lest_o before_o our_o intestine_a broil_n disperse_v th●m_fw-la and_o never_o more_o riches_n in_o plate_n if_o a●y_v coin_v either_o gold_n or_o silver_n have_v be_v carry_v out_o as_o questionless_a there_o have_v be_v to_o be_v see_v apparent_o both_o in_o france_n and_o the_o low_a country_n yet_o that_o silver_n and_o gold_n be_v first_o bring_v into_o england_n for_o it_o grow_v not_o here_o and_o then_o though_o some_o proportion_n be_v export_v yet_o if_o a_o great_a bee_n first_o import_v which_o have_v certtain_o be_v so_o for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v none_o at_o all_o left_a by_o this_o time_n the_o ri●hes_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n will_v not_o decline_v though_o they_o may_v flou●ish_v more_o if_o the_o exportation_n can_v total_o be_v hinder_v and_o howsoever_o this_o will_v be_v find_v a_o task_n most_o difficult_a yet_o it_o be_v the_o course_n which_o we_o be_v likely_a to_o prevail_v with_o for_o since_o the_o chaos_n and_o whole_a body_n of_o trade_n be_v not_o manage_v joint_o but_o by_o the_o particular_a merchant_n and_o member_n of_o it_o one_o whereof_o send_v out_o native_a commodity_n and_o bring_v his_o return_n home_o in_o bullion_n or_o by_o exchange_n another_o bring_v in_o foreign_a commodity_n make_v over_o money_n by_o exchange_n to_o pay_v for_o they_o and_o a_o three_o export_v native_a
