A32827	A discourse about trade wherein the reduction of interest in money to 4 l. per centum, is recommended : methods for the employment and maintenance of the poor are proposed : several weighty points relating to companies of merchants, the act of navigation, naturalization of strangers, our woollen manufactures, the ballance of trade, and the nature of plantations, and their consequences in relation to the kingdom are seriously discussed : and some arguments for erecting a court of merchants for determining controversies, relating to maritime affairs, and for a law for transferrance of bills of debts, are humbly offered.

in_o the_o outpart_n of_o london_n upon_o this_o point_n of_o naturalisation_n many_o man_n make_v a_o great_a doubt_n whether_o it_o be_v for_o public_a good_a to_o permit_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v naturalize_v in_o common_a with_o other_o stranger_n those_o that_o be_v against_o their_o admission_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v merchant_n urge_v these_o reason_n 1._o they_o say_v the_o jew_n be_v a_o subtle_a people_n pry_v into_o all_o kind_n of_o trade_n and_o thereby_o deprive_v the_o english_a merchant_n of_o that_o profit_n he_o will_v otherwise_o gain_v 2._o they_o be_v a_o penurious_a people_n live_v miserable_o and_o therefore_o can_v and_o do_v afford_v to_o trade_v for_o less_o profit_n than_o the_o english_a to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o english_a merchant_n 3._o they_o bring_v no_o estate_n with_o they_o but_o set_v up_o with_o their_o pen_n and_o ink_n only_o and_o if_o after_o some_o few_o year_n they_o thrive_v and_o grow_v rich_a they_o carry_v away_o their_o riches_n with_o they_o to_o some_o other_o country_n be_v a_o people_n that_o can_v mix_v with_o we_o which_o riches_n be_v carry_v away_o be_v a_o public_a loss_n to_o this_o kingdom_n those_o that_o be_v for_o the_o admission_n of_o the_o jew_n say_v in_o answer_n to_o the_o aforesaid_a reason_n viz._n 1_o st_o the_o subtle_a the_o jew_n be_v and_o the_o more_o trade_n they_o pry_v into_o while_o they_o live_v here_o the_o more_o they_o be_v like_a to_o increase_v trade_n and_o the_o more_o they_o do_v that_o the_o better_a it_o be_v for_o the_o kingdom_n in_o general_n though_o the_o worse_a for_o the_o english_a merchant_n who_o comparitive_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v not_o one_o of_o a_o thousand_o 2_o dly_z the_o thrifty_a they_o live_v the_o better_a example_n to_o our_o people_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o conduce_v to_o enrich_v a_o kingdom_n then_o thriftiness_n 3_o dly_z it_o be_v deny_v that_o they_o bring_v over_o nothing_o with_o they_o for_o many_o have_v bring_v hither_o very_o good_a estate_n and_o hundred_o more_o will_v do_v the_o like_a and_o settle_v here_o for_o their_o life_n and_o their_o posterity_n after_o they_o if_o they_o have_v the_o same_o freedom_n and_o security_n here_o as_o they_o have_v in_o holland_n and_o italy_n where_o the_o grand_a duke_n of_o tuscan●y_n and_o other_o prince_n allow_v they_o not_o only_o perfect_a liberty_n and_o security_n but_o give_v they_o the_o privilege_n of_o make_v law_n among_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o will_v reside_v with_o we_o be_v prove_v from_o the_o know_a principle_n of_o nature_n viz._n principle_n 1._o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v alike_o as_o i_o have_v before_o demonstrate_v and_o mr_n hobbs_n have_v true_o assert_v how_o erroneous_a soever_o he_o may_v be_v in_o other_o thing_n princip_n 2._o fear_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o hatred_n and_o hatred_n of_o separation_n from_o as_o well_o as_o evil_a

of_o religion_n and_o a_o toleration_n by_o law_n the_o former_a keep_v they_o continual_o in_o fear_n and_o consequent_o apt_a to_o sedition_n and_o rebellion_n when_o any_o probable_a occasion_n of_o success_n present_v the_o latter_a disarm_v cunning_a ambitious_a mind_a man_n who_o want_v a_o popular_a discontent_a party_n to_o work_v upon_o can_v effect_v little_a or_o nothing_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o government_n and_o this_o methinks_v discover_v clear_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o lutheran_n in_o germany_n protestant_n in_o france_n greek_n in_o turkey_n and_o sectary_n in_o

to_o proceed_v to_o what_o be_v more_o doubtful_a 1._o that_o our_o poor_a in_o england_n have_v always_o be_v in_o a_o most_o sad_a and_o wretched_a condition_n some_o famish_v for_o want_n of_o bread_n other_o starve_v with_o cold_a and_o nakedness_n and_o many_o whole_a family_n in_o all_o the_o out_o part_n of_o city_n and_o great_a town_n common_o remain_v in_o a_o languish_a nasty_a and_o useless_a condition_n uncomfortable_a to_o themselves_o and_o unprofitable_a to_o the_o kingdom_n this_o be_v confess_v and_o lament_v by_o all_o men._n 2._o that_o the_o child_n of_o our_o poor_a breed_v up_o in_o beggary_n and_o laziness_n do_v by_o that_o mean_n become_v not_o only_o of_o unhealthy_a body_n and_o more_o than_o ordinary_o subject_a to_o many_o loathsome_a disease_n whereof_o very_a many_o die_n in_o their_o tender_a age_n and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o do_v arrive_v to_o year_n and_o strength_n they_o be_v by_o their_o idle_a habit_n contract_v in_o their_o youth_n render_v for_o ever_o after_o indispose_v to_o labour_n and_o serve_v only_o to_o stock_n the_o kingdom_n with_o thief_n and_o beggar_n 3._o that_o if_o all_o our_o impotent_a poor_a be_v provide_v for_o and_o those_o of_o both_o sex_n and_o all_o age_n that_o can_v do_v work_n of_o any_o kind_n employ_v it_o will_v redound_v some_o hundred_o of_o thousand_o of_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la to_o the_o public_a advantage_n 4._o that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o nature_n so_o to_o provide_v for_o and_o employ_v the_o poor_a 5._o that_o by_o so_o do_v one_o of_o the_o great_a sin_n for_o which_o this_o land_n ought_v to_o mourn_v will_v be_v remove_v 6._o that_o our_o forefather_n have_v pious_a intention_n towards_o this_o good_a work_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o many_o statute_n make_v by_o they_o to_o this_o purpose_n 7._o that_o there_o be_v place_n in_o the_o world_n wherein_o the_o poor_a be_v so_o provide_v for_o and_o employ_v as_o in_o holland_n hambrough_n new-england_n and_o other_o and_o as_o i_o be_o inform_v now_o in_o the_o city_n of_o paris_n thus_o far_o we_o all_o agree_v the_o first_o question_n then_o that_o natural_o occur_v be_v question_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o in_o england_n we_o do_v not_o nor_o ever_o do_v comfortable_o maintain_v and_o employ_v our_o poor_a the_o common_a answer_n to_o this_o question_n be_v two_o 1._o that_o our_o law_n to_o this_o purpose_n be_v as_o good_a as_o any_o in_o the_o world_n but_o we_o fail_v in_o the_o execution_n 2._o that_o former_o in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o pious_a ancestor_n the_o work_n be_v do_v but_o now_o charity_n be_v decease_v and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o see_v the_o poor_a so_o neglect_v as_o now_o they_o be_v in_o both_o which_o answer_v i_o humble_o conceive_v the_o effect_n be_v mistake_v for_o the_o cause_n for_o though_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v a_o great_a failure_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o those_o statute_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o poor_a yet_o i_o say_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o failure_n have_v be_v occasion_v by_o defect_n of_o the_o law_n themselves_o for_o otherwise_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o in_o our_o late_a time_n of_o confusion_n and_o alteration_n wherein_o almost_o every_o party_n in_o the_o nation_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o take_v their_o turn_n at_o the_o helm_n and_o all_o have_v that_o compass_n those_o law_n to_o steer_v by_o and_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o can_v or_o ever_o do_v conduct_v the_o poor_a into_o a_o harbour_n of_o security_n to_o they_o and_o profit_n to_o the_o kingdom_n i._n e._n none_o sufficient_o maintain_v the_o impotent_a and_o employ_v the_o indigent_a among_o we_o and_o if_o this_o be_v never_o

argument_n that_o it_o never_o can_v nor_o ever_o will_v be_v do_v by_o those_o law_n and_o that_o consequent_o the_o defect_n lie_v in_o the_o law_n themselves_o not_o in_o the_o man_n i._n e._n

that_o he_o will_v beat_v the_o merchant_n whole_o out_o of_o the_o trade_n i_o answer_v first_o we_o see_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o holland_n nor_o in_o the_o open_a trade_n viz._n france_n spain_n portugal_n italy_n and_o all_o our_o own_o plantation_n neither_o can_v that_o well_o be_v for_o to_o drive_v a_o retail_n trade_n to_o any_o purpose_n require_v a_o man_n full_a stock_n as_o well_o
