which_o suggestion_n and_o seem_a good_a reason_n make_v not_o only_o deep_a impression_n but_o great_a inclination_n to_o endeavour_v a_o present_a abatement_n of_o the_o custom_n on_o coal_n

the_o defect_n such_o as_o it_o be_v there_o ii_o that_o there_o be_v no_o better_a coal_n in_o scotland_n now_o than_o in_o former_a and_o late_a year_n in_o which_o the_o duty_n in_o both_o

gross_a farmer_n of_o the_o custom_n of_o that_o kingdom_n who_o as_o stranger_n ought_v by_o the_o book_n of_o rate_n here_o to_o pay_v 14_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n for_o coal_n export_v in_o

the_o ½_o 2_o 2_o instant_a from_o roven_n touch_v this_o matter_n it_o seem_v apparent_a that_o if_o the_o french_a can_v be_v without_o our_o english_a coal_n or_o the_o scotch_a coal_n be_v so_o good_a as_o be_v allege_v and_o can_v be_v bring_v from_o scotland_n in_o french_a ship_n within_o 2_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n as_o cheap_a as_o english_a coal_n the_o french_a will_v not_o be_v so_o kind_a to_o our_o navigation_n as_o to_o employ_v they_o in_o this_o trade_n to_o the_o neglect_n of_o their_o own_o ship_n or_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n in_o the_o same_o letter_n it_o will_v rational_o be_v propose_v that_o if_o french_a ship_n may_v be_v permit_v to_o fetch_v out_o coal_n at_o english_a custom_n they_o will_v be_v willing_a to_o pay_v the_o french_a tonnage_n of_o 5_o s._n which_o will_v amount_v to_o 18_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n a_o newcastle_n chalder_n being_n more_o than_o two_o tun_n now_o if_o the_o market_n at_o roven_n will_v afford_v to_o pay_v that_o 18_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n and_o produce_v good_a profit_n to_o the_o merchant_n as_o the_o say_a letter_n set_v forth_o it_o seem_v not_o necessary_a to_o abate_v the_o custom_n and_o to_o let_v they_o have_v a_o commodity_n from_o we_o which_o they_o can_v be_v without_o for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a at_o 6_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n v._o if_o it_o be_v say_v in_o favour_n of_o all_o foreign_a market_n as_o well_o as_o france_n that_o the_o cheapness_n of_o a_o commodity_n suppose_v a_o increase_n of_o consumption_n it_o will_v also_o be_v remember_v that_o the_o supposition_n will_v utter_o fail_v in_o commodity_n not_o subject_a to_o luxury_n if_o salt_n be_v at_o a_o penny_n a_o bushel_n it_o will_v not_o for_o its_o cheapness_n augment_v the_o consumption_n and_o if_o all_o the_o english_a custom_n on_o coal_n be_v take_v off_o it_o will_v not_o amount_v to_o above_o 1_o d._n ½_o a_o bushel_n in_o the_o price_n of_o coal_n can_v make_v 6_o d._n difference_n in_o 5_o l._n worth_n of_o manufacture_n and_o the_o dear_a we_o sell_v a_o commodity_n abroad_o which_o the_o stranger_n can_v be_v without_o as_o aforesaid_a the_o more_o we_o bring_v back_o to_o enrich_v our_o own_o nation_n vi_o and_o as_o to_o the_o english_a navigation_n the_o same_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v very_o little_o advantage_v by_o the_o desire_a abatement_n to_o 6_o s._n per_fw-la chalder_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v compute_v that_o the_o whole_a foreign_a coal-trade_n be_v not_o ⅕_n part_v of_o the_o annual_a quantity_n bring_v only_o into_o london_n of_o which_o the_o bare_a duty_n first_o and_o last_o amount_v to_o 6_o s._n 6_o d._n per_fw-la chalder_n and_o if_o the_o say_a abatement_n shall_v take_v effect_n the_o french_a shall_v not_o pay_v so_o much_o duty_n as_o we_o the_o parent_n be_v not_o kind_a to_o stranger_n than_o to_o his_o own_o child_n vii_o therefore_o it_o be_v conceive_v that_o if_o any_o advantage_n can_v accrue_v by_o the_o desire_a abatement_n it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o coal_n owner_n who_o know_v the_o necessity_n the_o french_a have_v of_o the_o commodity_n will_v at_o least_o share_n by_o the_o raise_n the_o price_n of_o the_o coal_n in_o the_o profit_n of_o what_o the_o king_n shall_v please_v to_o abate_v of_o the_o custom_n so_o prudent_o establish_v by_o his_o law_n viii_o and_o for_o these_o reason_n and_o much_o more_o which_o may_v be_v say_v on_o this_o subject_n as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v the_o say_a abatement_n not_o to_o be_v for_o his_o majesty_n service_n or_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o english_a navigation_n so_o i_o find_v all_o my_o partner_n with_o who_o i_o be_o in_o covenant_n now_o unwilling_a to_o join_v with_o i_o in_o any_o consent_n thereunto_o for_o what_o relate_v to_o
