B09848	Reasons humbly offered against the establishing the present East India Company by Act of Parliament, exclusive of others, and confirming their charters	England and Wales. Parliament.	1700 (1700)	Wing R528; ESTC R182443	2,011	2

reason_n humble_o offer_v against_o the_o establish_n the_o present_a east-india_n company_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n exclusive_a of_o other_o and_o confirm_v their_o charter_n i._o because_o that_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n have_v a_o equal_a right_n to_o trade_n to_o the_o east-indies_n by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o which_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o have_v late_o declare_v and_o assert_v ii_o because_o that_o the_o establish_v this_o company_n will_v give_v away_o that_o right_n to_o a_o few_o man_n only_o which_o belong_v to_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n and_o thereby_o exclude_v all_o the_o rest_n from_o it_o for_o 21_o year_n iii_o because_o that_o this_o honourable_a house_n have_v in_o two_o session_n o●_n parliament_n make_v two_o solemn_a address_n to_o have_v this_o company_n dissolve_v it_o be_v humble_o suppose_v their_o be_v establish_v contrary_a to_o their_o say_a address_n can_v be_v think_v merit_n sufficient_a to_o recommend_v they_o to_o such_o a_o establishment_n iv_o because_o it_o will_v be_v so_o great_a a_o service_n to_o the_o dutch_a to_o have_v a_o company_n establish_v on_o so_o ill_a a_o foundation_n which_o will_v be_v so_o much_o less_o able_a to_o contest_v with_o they_o in_o that_o trade_n than_o a_o new_a company_n found_v on_o a_o national_a bottom_n with_o a_o clear_a stock_n of_o two_o million_o that_o the_o dutch_a may_v afford_v to_o furnish_v the_o money_n which_o be_v propose_v to_o be_v advance_v for_o v._o because_o that_o the_o confirm_v this_o company_n charter_n will_v give_v they_o such_o power_n as_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v trust_v in_o any_o subject_n much_o less_o in_o those_o who_o have_v already_o so_o much_o abuse_v they_o and_o by_o colour_n thereof_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o such_o arbitrary_a proceed_n as_o well_o on_o the_o life_n liberty_n and_o estate_n of_o their_o fellow-subject_n as_o to_o the_o native_n of_o india_n and_o for_o some_o of_o which_o they_o have_v be_v just_o censure_v in_o parliament_n vi_o because_o that_o it_o will_v countenance_v by_o a_o law_n one_o of_o the_o great_a cheat_n that_o ever_o yet_o be_v practise_v and_o that_o only_o to_o serve_v the_o private_a end_n of_o a_o few_o man_n who_o have_v be_v the_o promoter_n of_o it_o and_o by_o their_o art_n and_o trick_n have_v procure_v new_a subscription_n to_o be_v make_v to_o their_o old_a stock_n which_o they_o know_v be_v worth_a nothing_o and_o the_o better_a to_o decoy_n in_o other_o have_v give_v security_n to_o some_o to_o make_v their_o 90_o l._n worth_n 100_o l._n in_o 6_o month_n time_n vii_o because_o this_o proposal_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o company_n or_o with_o their_o consent_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o general_n court_n call_v to_o propose_v it_o to_o they_o but_o be_v manage_v and_o promote_v by_o those_o security-man_n who_o now_o want_v the_o credit_n of_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o make_v they_o a_o save_a bargain_n by_o raise_v the_o stock_n that_o so_o they_o may_v either_o sell_v out_o or_o not_o have_v it_o put_v upon_o they_o with_o so_o great_a a_o loss_n viii_o because_o there_o be_v no_o assurance_n that_o this_o proposal_n will_v be_v comply_v with_o for_o many_o of_o the_o adventurer_n be_v so_o far_o from_o approve_v of_o it_o that_o they_o public_o express_v their_o dislike_n thereof_o so_o that_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v offer_v by_o the_o house_n it_o may_v not_o perhaps_o be_v accept_v ix_o because_o it_o will_v establish_v in_o a_o few_o man_n of_o the_o old_a company_n the_o great_a part_n of_o all_o that_o trade_n and_o give_v they_o and_o such_o only_a as_o they_o please_v the_o whole_a power_n and_o management_n of_o it_o as_o they_o have_v have_v for_o several_a year_n past_a and_o have_v now_o late_o secure_v to_o themselves_o by_o their_o new_a charter_n by_o reduce_v the_o vote_n from_o 500_o l._n to_o 1000_o l._n and_o have_v ten_o vote_n for_o 10000_o l._n which_o the_o new_a subscriber_n will_v now_o glad_o retrieve_v and_o to_o that_o end_n have_v make_v regulation_n which_o the_o governing-man_n will_v not_o agree_v to_o and_o the_o new_a subscriber_n and_o the_o old_a disagree_v about_o their_o new_a regulation_n if_o any_o of_o they_o they_o shall_v get_v into_o the_o committee_n at_o the_o election_n in_o april_n next_o they_o may_v perhaps_o be_v too_o nice_a in_o examine_v into_o the_o particular_n of_o the_o large_a article_n expend_v for_o secret_a service_n and_o discover_v the_o miserable_a state_n of_o the_o company_n condition_n which_o will_v occasion_v the_o stock_n to_o fall_v unless_o it_o can_v be_v thus_o support_v x._o because_n that_o at_o the_o return_n of_o the_o two_o ship_n which_o be_v send_v to_o the_o east-indies_n by_o particular_a man_n last_o year_n the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o company_n condition_n will_v then_o appear_v and_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o consequence_n of_o have_v the_o truth_n thereof_o discover_v which_o they_o know_v be_v so_o bad_a be_v the_o great_a reason_n that_o they_o be_v now_o so_o solicitous_a to_o obtain_v a_o establishment_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n xi_o because_o no_o other_o reason_n be_v give_v by_o those_o who_o promote_v the_o confirm_v this_o company_n for_o so_o do_v but_o only_o their_o lend_v 60000_o l._n without_o interest_n to_o be_v advance_v in_o three_o year_n and_o be_v repaid_a out_o of_o their_o own_o custom_n which_o by_o a_o reasonable_a computation_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o amount_v to_o near_o so_o much_o as_o they_o have_v pay_v for_o secret_a service_n but_o be_v nevertheless_o more_o than_o they_o can_v perform_v unless_o their_o friend_n the_o dutch_a help_v they_o to_o it_o or_o that_o they_o procure_v other_o to_o lend_v it_o for_o they_o a_o practice_n with_o which_o they_o have_v be_v well_o acquaint_v when_o they_o have_v pretend_v to_o make_v loan_n to_o their_o majesty_n and_o have_v late_o give_v by_o their_o emissary_n 1_o or_o 2_o per_fw-la cent._n more_o than_o the_o king_n pay_v to_o procure_v the_o money_n to_o be_v lend_v in_o their_o member_n name_n by_o those_o who_o otherwise_o will_v have_v lend_v it_o to_o the_o government_n themselves_o without_o any_o such_o compensation_n so_o that_o the_o public_a have_v have_v no_o advantage_n by_o their_o pretend_a loan_n xii_o because_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o raise_n of_o money_n for_o the_o crown_n but_o only_o a_o borrow_v of_o it_o by_o anticipate_v the_o revenue_n which_o be_v already_o grant_v fourteen_o because_o that_o if_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o shall_v incline_v which_o its_o humble_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o to_o confirm_v this_o company_n with_o a_o exclusion_n of_o the_o right_n of_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n who_o this_o honourable_a house_n represent_v only_o for_o their_o lend_v 600000_o l._n if_o the_o same_o method_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o raise_v money_n on_o other_o foreign_a trade_n of_o this_o kingdom_n several_a million_o may_v be_v raise_v thereby_o and_o there_o be_v person_n who_o will_v make_v proposal_n for_o the_o east-india_n trade_n to_o be_v settle_v in_o a_o new_a company_n far_o more_o considerable_a and_o advantageous_a to_o the_o public_a than_o what_o be_v now_o make_v for_o the_o old_a company_n
