A36290	The undoubted art of thriving wherein is shewed : 1. That a million L. sterling money, or more if need be, may be raised for propogating the trade of the nation, &c. without any kind of prejudice to the leiges, but on the contrair to their great vtility and advantage, 2. How the Indian and African Company may propogat [sic] their trade, and that trade and manufacturers of all sorts may by encouraged to the honour, strength and wealth of the nation, 3. How every one according to his quality, may live comfortably and happily : concluding with several thoughts tuching [sic] the management of publick concerns.

that_o town_n and_o harbour_n be_v build_v along_v the_o shoar_n at_o place_n most_o convenient_a for_o fish_v this_o perhaps_o may_v be_v reject_v by_o some_o as_o a_o thing_n prejudicial_a to_o suffer_v stranger_n to_o settle_v among_o we_o and_o to_o allow_v they_o the_o privilege_n of_o natural_a bear_a subject_n but_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o those_o people_n that_o come_v from_o foreign_a part_n to_o reside_v among_o we_o become_v one_o people_n with_o ourselves_o in_o a_o short_a time_n that_o what_o prosites_n they_o make_v tend_v to_o the_o enrich_v and_o strengthen_v of_o the_o nation_n as_o much_o as_o that_o which_o be_v acquire_v by_o natural_a bear_a subject_n that_o in_o rhe_n mean_a time_n those_o people_n bring_v we_o to_o a_o way_n of_o trade_n wherein_o we_o

upon_o our_o coast_n and_o carry_v they_o where_o they_o listen_v while_o we_o reap_v no_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n i_o think_v all_o reasonable_a man_n will_v ready_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o least_o of_o these_o inconvenience_n be_v to_o allow_v they_o to_o settle_v among_o we_o but_o i_o be_o persuade_v no_o such_o inconveniency_n follow_v the_o tollerate_n of_o stranger_n among_o we_o as_o be_v common_o believe_v i_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o allow_v foreigner_n as_o ample_a privilege_n as_o natural_a bear_a subject_n i_o shall_v put_v the_o case_n whether_o be_v it_o not_o better_a that_o french_a resugee_n that_o be_v oblige_v to_o abandon_v their_o native_a country_n for_o not_o conform_v themselves_o to_o the_o idolatry_n and_o

be_v impertinent_a to_o inquire_v into_o the_o freedom_n or_o privilege_n of_o city_n burgh_n and_o corpotation_n whether_o it_o do_v not_o more_o obstruct_v as_o advance_v the_o honour_n wealth_n and_o popolousness_n of_o they_o that_o there_o be_v such_o hard_a condition_n and_o restriction_n to_o obtain_v communication_n or_o freedom_n in_o trade_n in_o my_o opinion_n such_o restriction_n and_o qualification_n require_v of_o such_o as_o will_v partake_v of_o their_o privilege_n be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o corporation_n themselves_o my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v that_o the_o more_o populous_a a_o city_n be_v so_o much_o be_v it_o the_o better_a for_o the_o inhabitant_n in_o general_a let_v any_o man_n take_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o city_n or_o town_n he_o know_v and_o see_v whither_o this_o do_v not_o hold_v in_o general_a now_o the_o require_v of_o hard_a condition_n of_o those_o that_o will_v incorporat_a be_v certain_o a_o great_a impediment_n to_o

expect_v to_o make_v and_o couse_n quent_o prejudge_v we_o of_o as_o much_o as_o they_o shall_v gain_v by_o whatever_o mean_n those_o who_o have_v the_o present_a previlege_n have_v procure_v it_o it_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n if_o the_o admit_v of_o other_o on_o easy_a term_n be_v not_o prejudical_a but_o on_o the_o contrair_a profitable_a to_o the_o former_a then_o have_v they_o no_o cause_n to_o rejict_v the_o latter_a but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o by_o admit_v of_o every_o on_o that_o please_v be_v the_o advantage_n of_o all_o to_o make_v this_o evident_a let_v any_o person_n make_v a_o calculation_n whither_o there_o be_v more_o tradesman_n of_o all_o sort_n in_o edinburgh_n or_o musselburgh_n i_o believe_v without_o much_o enquiry_n the_o majoritie_n will_v be_v grant_v

suppose_v also_o the_o prehemmence_a will_v be_v give_v to_o edinburgh_n but_o some_o say_v what_o be_v that_o to_o the_o purpose_n edinburgh_n be_v the_o capital_a city_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o state_n of_o superior_a judicator_n which_o occation_n the_o frequent_a conflovance_n of_o people_n to_o that_o place_n let_v they_o next_o inquire_v of_o the_o state_n of_o glasgow_n aberdeen_n

be_v it_o will_v be_v no_o absurd_a consequence_n to_o belive_o that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o any_o on_o particular_a town_n shall_v become_v the_o more_o wealthy_a as_o the_o city_n grow_v populous_a i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v easy_o grant_v that_o to_o tolerate_v all_o that_o please_v to_o come_v and_o reside_v in_o burgh_n to_o trasfique_v and_o follow_v other_o vocation_n may_v be_v a_o ready_a expedient_a to_o make_v they_o populous_a and_o upon_o strict_a enquiry_n it_o will_v not_o be_v find_v prejudicial_a to_o any_o particular_a call_v or_o corporation_n for_o i_o

of_o edinburgh_n the_o baker_n have_v a_o privilege_n among_o themselves_o that_o none_o but_o such_o as_o serve_v aprentiship●_n to_o they_o or_o that_o marry_o freeman_n daughter_n can_v be_v
