to_o our_o have_v the_o same_o freedom_n of_o trade_n by_o which_o but_o a_o little_a time_n before_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o lead_a man_n of_o that_o nation_n think_v it_o their_o interest_n to_o

such_o wholesome_a and_o advantageous_a law_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o our_o poor_a trade_n as_o may_v not_o only_o rouse_v up_o and_o animate_v the_o depress_a and_o often-disappointed_n

most_o in_o need_n of_o they_o obj._n but_o you_o say_v the_o outcry_n be_v that_o these_o be_v such_o unprecedented_a concession_n and_o exception_n as_o never_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v grant_v by_o a_o prince_n to_o any_o society_n or_o company_n of_o trader_n in_o the_o world_n ergo_fw-la ha_o be_v the_o hue_n and_o cry_v get_v up_o then_o i_o be_o glad_a of_o it_o for_o certain_o the_o great_a the_o grave_a and_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o nation_n do_v never_o join_v in_o that_o chorus_n but_o to_o be_v more_o serious_a it_o be_v true_a that_o these_o concession_n may_v seem_v somewhat_o strange_a to_o a_o people_n who_o wealth_n capacity_n naval_a strength_n foreign_a possession_n plantation_n fort_n and_o universal_a settlement_n want_v no_o more_o to_o carry_v on_o what_o trade_n soever_o they_o please_v than_o to_o will_v and_o to_o execute_v but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o they_o look_v upon_o scotland_n and_o consider_v it_o as_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v deficient_a to_o a_o degree_n of_o extremity_n in_o all_o the_o necessary_a qualification_n of_o trade_n above-recited_n they_o must_v own_v of_o course_n that_o nothing_o less_o than_o these_o concession_n and_o exemption_n can_v give_v this_o new_a company_n a_o prospect_n of_o so_o much_o as_o a_o possibility_n of_o ever_o grapple_v with_o such_o infinite_a and_o almost_o insuperable_a difficulty_n as_o they_o and_o indeed_o all_o other_o beginning_n must_v necessary_o encounter_v with_o so_o that_o if_o such_o exemption_n have_v not_o be_v grant_v we_o have_v as_o good_a have_v erect_v no_o company_n and_o as_o to_o these_o concession_n be_v without_o precedent_n i_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o any_o that_o be_v exact_o the_o same_o with_o the_o privilege_n contain_v in_o this_o act_n but_o if_o i_o let_v you_o see_v much_o great_a i_o hope_v that_o may_v serve_v the_o turn_n nor_o to_o do_v that_o need_v i_o go_v so_o far_o from_o hence_o as_o to_o search_v into_o the_o record_n of_o other_o nation_n such_o as_o france_n holland_n denmark_n and_o other_o who_o have_v give_v illimited_a power_n and_o vast_a encouragement_n to_o their_o respective_a tradeing_n company_n but_o even_o in_o scotland_n when_o we_o can_v not_o be_v presume_v to_o have_v have_v any_o great_a notion_n of_o trade_n about_o thirty_o five_o year_n past_a upon_o the_o restauration_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o in_o his_o first_o parliament_n and_o the_o several_a session_n thereof_o before_o the_o french_a king_n have_v time_n to_o plant_v his_o

give_v you_o a_o instance_n of_o one_o for_o all_o namely_o the_o act_n pass_v in_o the_o year_n 1661._o for_o the_o fishing_n and_o erect_v of_o company_n for_o promote_a the_o same_o which_o be_v too_o long_o to_o be_v transcribe_v i_o send_v you_o by_o way_n of_o postscript_n a_o short_a abstract_n of_o the_o most_o considerable_a privilege_n and_o exemption_n therein_o contain_v as_o they_o stand_v in_o order_n in_o the_o act_n itself_o and_o all_o these_o be_v grant_v for_o perpetuity_n whereas_o all_o the_o most_o important_a concession_n in_o this_o late_a act_n be_v limit_v some_o

last_o we_o must_v think_v of_o go_v we_o know_v not_o whither_o undergo_v the_o danger_n of_o boisterous_a storm_n and_o long_a voyage_n with_o which_o we_o be_v not_o acquaint_v tie_v up_o our_o
