when_o i_o see_v so_o considerable_a a_o part_n of_o the_o nation_n join_v in_o the_o design_n of_o settle_v the_o east-india_n trade_n upon_o a_o new_a foundation_n i_o think_v i_o can_v scarce_o

with_o they_o in_o the_o vast_a advantage_n the_o east-india_n trade_n afford_v but_o when_o i_o consider_v with_o myself_o the_o extraordinary_a ability_n of_o the_o person_n unto_o who_o i_o be_v

all_o the_o reason_n imaginable_a to_o promise_v themselves_o due_a encouragement_n from_o your_o generous_a inclination_n before_o i_o conclude_v i_o can_v pass_v by_o in_o silence_n and_o apply_v with_o some_o small_a alteration_n here_o the_o word_n mr._n rennefort_n make_v use_v of_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o french_a east-india_n company_n that_o since_o our_o present_a east-india_n

the_o improvement_n of_o its_o knowledge_n in_o relation_n to_o foreign_a country_n i_o lay_v this_o down_o as_o a_o general_a meaning_n which_o i_o suppose_v few_o will_v contradict_v that_o as_o those_o who_o want_v the_o conveniency_n of_o satisfy_v their_o curiosity_n by_o travel_v abroad_o themselves_o especial_o in_o far_o distant_a country_n can_v in_o any_o way_n better_o supply_v this_o defect_n than_o by_o apply_v themselves_o to_o such_o author_n as_o by_o a_o long_a experience_n have_v have_v the_o opportunity_n of_o inform_v themselves_o concern_v the_o true_a constitution_n of_o these-country_n be_v in_o all_o probability_n the_o most_o proper_a person_n to_o answer_v their_o end_n as_o have_v at_o their_o own_o expense_n endeavour_v to_o improve_v the_o general_a knowledge_n of_o mankind_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o our_o time_n there_o have_v appear_v more_o book_n of_o this_o kind_n abroad_o than_o perhaps_o all_o the_o age_n before_o we_o can_v produce_v and_o that_o the_o french_a in_o particular_a have_v be_v more_o liberal_a in_o furnish_v we_o with_o the_o relation_n of_o their_o travel_n than_o any_o other_o nation_n but_o not_o to_o deviate_v from_o the_o truth_n it_o must_v be_v also_o confess_v that_o as_o to_o what_o relate_v to_o their_o voyage_n to_o the_o indies_n they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n confine_v to_o the_o description_n of_o some_o particular_a country_n or_o other_o whereas_o the_o ensue_a treatise_n give_v a_o view_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o vast_a country_n comprehend_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o east-indies_n it_o may_v also_o be_v observe_v that_o many_o of_o our_o modern_a author_n in_o their_o description_n of_o these_o far_o distant_a country_n have_v affect_v a_o way_n of_o surprise_v rather_o than_o instruct_v their_o reader_n they_o represent_v both_o the_o climate_n of_o the_o indies_n and_o its_o product_n as_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o quite_o different_a if_o not_o contrary_a principle_n of_o nature_n from_o what_o we_o find_v in_o our_o part_n whereas_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_o evident_a to_o all_o such_o as_o will_v consider_v the_o whole_a without_o prejudice_n that_o nature_n perform_v its_o operation_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n according_a to_o its_o primitive_a fundamental_a law_n that_o the_o heat_n and_o cold_n of_o these_o several_a climate_n differ_v only_o in_o degree_n and_o that_o the_o monster_n of_o africa_n or_o the_o indies_n be_v no_o more_o surprise_v to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o these_o part_n than_o
