be_v content_a to_o be_v restrain_v from_o interrupt_v they_o in_o their_o trade_n by_o confine_v themselves_o to_o export_v the_o product_n of_o their_o own_o county_n only_o as_o tin_n fish_n and_o

patience_n and_o this_o i_o can_v bold_o far_o avouch_v for_o they_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a county_n of_o cornwall_n i_o never_o meet_v with_o one_o labour_v tinner_n that_o be_v either_o papist_n or_o popish_o incline_v but_o all_o generally_n though_o rustic_a and_o illiterate_a have_v as_o great_a aversion_n to_o that_o persuasion_n as_o any_o protestant_n divine_a in_o england_n and_o therefore_o do_v persuade_v myself_o that_o mr._n crosby_n his_o paper_n be_v write_v out_o book_n as_o well_o of_o they_o as_o of_o some_o other_o of_o that_o county_n now_o i_o foresee_v there_o be_v some_o people_n that_o may_v raise_v some_o objection_n against_o the_o tinners_n freedom_n and_o common_a privilege_n of_o other_o subject_n and_o they_o in_o all_o likelihood_n may_v be_v either_o first_o those_o merchant_n who_o practice_n i_o have_v detect_v or_o second_o those_o attorney_n who_o have_v prey_v on_o they_o so_o long_o and_o have_v be_v sure_a to_o go_v away_o with_o the_o profit_n of_o all_o such_o matter_n and_o concern_v as_o happen_v to_o be_v controvert_v among_o they_o or_o last_o such_o who_o reap_v particular_a advantage_n by_o needless_a office_n out_o of_o the_o coinage_n duty_n therefore_o if_o any_o objector_n chance_v to_o appear_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o motive_n that_o prompt_v they_o hereunto_o viz._n whether_o a_o private_a interest_n or_o a_o public_a good_a if_o the_o former_a and_o it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o scale_n against_o a_o common_a benefit_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v appear_v so_o frivolous_a as_o need_v not_o require_v much_o time_n to_o answer_v if_o the_o latter_a it_o must_v then_o necessary_o relate_v either_o to_o his_o majesty_n or_o the_o tinner_n if_o to_o his_o majesty_n it_o must_v be_v then_o touch_v his_o prerogative_n or_o his_o revenue_n ob._n if_o his_o prerogative_n the_o objection_n than_o must_v be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v ancient_o have_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o prerogative_n a_o right_a of_o preemption_n of_o all_o the_o tin_n before_o the_o tinner_n have_v freedom_n to_o dispose_v or_o the_o merchant_n to_o buy_v the_o same_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v bring_v quarterly_o to_o the_o coinage_n town_n in_o order_n to_o his_o acceptance_n or_o refusal_n an._n for_o answer_n i_o say_v that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o right_o of_o preemption_n of_o the_o tin_n be_v not_o here_o deny_v or_o intend_v to_o be_v so_o neither_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o tinner_n must_v therefore_o keep_v their_o good_n a_o whole_a quarter_n of_o a_o year_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o coinage_n town_n only_o for_o that_o purpose_n but_o first_o i_o pray_v observe_v the_o very_a word_n emption_n do_v presuppose_v and_o imply_v a_o contract_n and_o there_o be_v you_o know_v a_o correlation_n between_o the_o contractor_n and_o contractee_n for_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n require_v a_o voluntary_a
