too_o arbitrary_a the_o remedy_n be_v easy_a such_o person_n may_v stay_v at_o home_n under_o the_o shadow_n of_o our_o native_a liberty_n as_o it_o be_v better_a ten_o thousand_o man_n of_o that_o mind_n shall_v than_o that_o england_n shall_v loose_v their_o trade_n and_o dominion_n in_o india_n if_o the_o exercise_n of_o martial_a law_n be_v deny_v the_o company_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o preserve_v the_o dominion_n of_o india_n of_o which_o st._n helena_n be_v a_o pregnant_a instance_n have_v rebel_v four_o time_n before_o they_o pay_v one_o penny_n charge_n to_o the_o government_n church_n poor_a or_o highway_n custom_n or_o excise_n or_o any_o other_o duty_n 1._o it_o be_v likewise_o serious_o to_o be_v consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o proceed_v in_o a_o affair_n of_o this_o vast_a import_n with_o great_a deliberation_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v a_o proper_a time_n for_o so_o hazardous_a a_o change_n as_o some_o will_v make_v in_o the_o east-india_n affair_n before_o the_o three_o kingdom_n be_v so_o firm_o settle_v as_o all_o good_a man_n desire_v and_o hope_v they_o will_v be_v within_o a_o small_a space_n of_o time_n come_v 2._o whether_o it_o will_v not_o be_v wisdom_n to_o hear_v first_o from_o india_n how_o the_o dutch_a company_n will_v behave_v themselves_o there_o upon_o this_o great_a revolution_n that_o have_v late_o happen_v in_o these_o kingdom_n 3._o to_o consider_v how_o the_o company_n great_a ship_n shall_v be_v employ_v between_o the_o new_a and_o old_a company_n whereof_o four_o be_v in_o their_o majesty_n service_n three_o at_o home_n that_o will_v carry_v from_o seventy_o to_o eighty_o gun_n each_o eight_o or_o ten_o more_o that_o be_v sudden_o expect_v home_o and_o very_o many_o more_o leave_v in_o the_o country_n because_o if_o the_o present_a company_n must_v be_v dissolve_v four_o or_o five_o year_n hence_o they_o can_v employ_v but_o few_o of_o they_o because_o their_o business_n must_v be_v to_o bring_v in_o not_o to_o scatter_v their_o estate_n the_o new_a company_n whatever_o man_n may_v pretend_v can_v have_v a_o stock_n to_o employ_v half_o that_o number_n of_o great_a ship_n in_o many_o year_n to_o come_v and_o those_o great_a ship_n must_v in_o consequence_n be_v break_v up_o for_o no_o other_o trade_n will_v find_v they_o bread_n but_o that_o of_o india_n 4._o whether_o graft_v upon_o the_o present_a company_n or_o make_v a_o new_a one_o will_v not_o necessary_o cause_v division_n and_o confusion_n in_o the_o committee_n council_n which_o can_v never_o happen_v at_o so_o ill_a a_o time_n as_o this_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o dutch_a company_n have_v already_o this_o year_n send_v very_o great_a force_n and_o be_v send_v out_o a_o far_o great_a for_o india_n while_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o english_a can_v get_v to_o sea_n that_o single_a ship_n the_o herbert_n which_o have_v lie_v three_o month_n at_o gravesend_n full_o load_v with_o necessary_n for_o the_o company_n fort_n seaman_n and_o some_o soldier_n on_o board_n she_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o present_a press_n and_o embargo_n 5._o be_v it_o not_o extreme_o necessary_a that_o before_o any_o hasty_a change_n be_v make_v the_o english_a nation_n shall_v see_v what_o use_n the_o dutch_a company_n in_o india_n will_v make_v upon_o the_o great_a overbalance_n of_o power_n in_o india_n they_o be_v like_a to_o have_v next_o summer_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o advantage_n they_o have_v at_o present_a of_o get_v many_o ship_n to_o sea_n while_o this_o company_n can_v get_v out_o that_o single_a ship_n aforesaid_a if_o they_o shall_v attempt_v any_o of_o the_o company_n three_o pepper-fort_n in_o their_o own_o name_n or_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o young_a king_n of_o bantam_n or_o any_o of_o their_o confederate_a or_o vassal_n indian_a prince_n will_v not_o england_n repent_v too_o late_o and_o if_o any_o of_o those_o garrison_n shall_v fail_v or_o desert_n for_o want_n of_o supply_n from_o europe_n or_o upon_o news_n of_o the_o company_n be_v out_o of_o favour_n in_o england_n which_o the_o interloper_n and_o dutch_a company_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o aggravate_v and_o magnify_v to_o the_o native_n will_v not_o such_o a_o error_n be_v fatal_a to_o this_o kingdom_n how_o can_v it_o hereafter_o be_v mend_v or_o who_o shall_v do_v it_o the_o old_a company_n be_v mortify_v by_o the_o late_a discouragement_n they_o have_v meet_v with_o after_o all_o their_o great_a service_n for_o their_o country_n and_o the_o new_a one_o whatever_o be_v pretend_v will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o 6._o if_o the_o dutch_a company_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o discouragement_n and_o interruption_n give_v the_o english_a company_n shall_v arrive_v at_o the_o sole_a engrossment_n of_o pepper_n will_v not_o the_o next_o commodity_n most_o proper_a for_o they_o to_o engross_v be_v saltpetre_n and_o what_o will_v be_v the_o consequence_n thereof_o after_o they_o have_v once_o all_o the_o pepper_n they_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n and_o every_o thing_n they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o in_o india_n at_o their_o own_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n without_o possibility_n of_o prevention_n and_o we_o dare_v confident_o aver_v and_o think_v it_o our_o bind_a duty_n to_o god_n and_o our_o country_n before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o affirm_v positive_o that_o if_o the_o english_a company_n be_v not_o arm_v with_o the_o same_o authority_n and_o privilege_n as_o the_o dutch_a east-india_n company_n be_v the_o english_a empire_n and_o dominion_n in_o india_n will_v certain_o and_o quick_o be_v lose_v and_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o trade_n must_v follow_v that_o in_o a_o short_a time_n after_o or_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o dutch_a company_n please_v that_o nation_n be_v so_o wise_a in_o the_o affair_n of_o those_o eastern_a country_n that_o they_o never_o make_v any_o change_n of_o their_o company_n after_o it_o be_v once_o settle_v nor_o abridge_v they_o of_o any_o power_n but_o rather_o increase_v their_o authority_n
