A67213	The humble petition and remonstrance of Richrd [sic] Wylde, merchant and adventurer in the East-India trade laying open the many wilfull neglects, ill-managed actions and improvident courses, the governors and committees of the East-India Company, have heretofore, and still do practice in all their way of trade to the East-Indies, to the exceeding great prejudice of the adventurer and nation in generall. Together with a narrative of the principall wrongs and injuries the Dutch have barbarously perpetrated upon the persons, ships and goods of the company in Amboyna, and other parts of India, as also the manner of trade to Potugals [sic] heretofore, and now the Dutch have, and doe practise, to their exceeding great increase of stock which our company would never be perswaded to follow, in so full and ample manner as they ought to have done.

it_o unto_o this_o i_o have_v in_o answer_n two_o reason_n first_o that_o the_o dutch_a make_v much_o more_o benefit_n by_o the_o treasure_n they_o carry_v persia_n answer_v that_o they_o make_v more_o profit_n of_o treasure_n they_o carry_v thence_o for_o china_n than_o they_o carry_v silk_n for_o holland_n again_o some_o of_o our_o committee_n have_v make_v a_o private_a contract_n with_o the_o dutch_a not_o to_o be_v the_o silk_n of_o persia_n into_o europe_n to_o which_o end_n it_o may_v be_v suppose_v they_o neglect_v the_o receipt_n of_o their_o custom_n in_o persia_n free_o out_o of_o persia_n into_o the_o mollucca_n island_n and_o china_n to_o buy_v spice_n and_o silk_n and_o other_o commodity_n for_o japon_n than_o the_o silk_n of_o persia_n will_v have_v make_v at_o home_n in_o holland_n which_o he_o grant_v for_o good_a a_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o dutch_a in_o india_n as_o i_o believe_v he_o have_v do_v the_o like_a say_v that_o their_o

hinder_v their_o trade_n for_o it_o into_o turkey_n they_o will_v underhand_o let_v fall_v all_o their_o complaint_n of_o the_o amboyna_n massacre_n and_o other_o wrong_n offer_v our_o people_n in_o
