a_o exact_a enquiry_n into_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o trade_n condemn_v by_o the_o public_a voice_n i_o have_v alter_v my_o opinion_n upon_o such_o solid_a ground_n that_o whoever_o will_v know_v

they_o to_o we_o and_o get_v the_o profit_n we_o may_v get_v ourselves_o it_o be_v likewise_o certain_a that_o we_o do_v not_o carry_v near_o so_o much_o money_n into_o the_o levant_n as_o french_a commodity_n our_o hemp_n our_o linen_n cloth_n our_o timber_n to_o build_v ship_n be_v in_o great_a request_n there_o than_o money_n those_o who_o understand_v the_o trade_n of_o the_o levant_n know_v that_o the_o money_n which_o be_v carry_v thither_o be_v not_o of_o the_o growth_n of_o france_n but_o spain_n from_o whence_o we_o draw_v it_o by_o the_o traffic_n of_o those_o very_a commodity_n we_o bring_v from_o the_o levant_n which_o be_v very_o observable_a they_o be_v moreover_o sensible_a that_o the_o more_o the_o city_n of_o marseilles_n trade_n into_o the_o levant_n the_o rich_a it_o be_v in_o money_n that_o the_o silk_n and_o spin_a cotton_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a commodity_n which_o come_v from_o the_o levant_n be_v wrought_v in_o france_n and_o from_o thence_o

say_a trade_n amount_v to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o money_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o say_a trade_n be_v not_o only_o advantageous_a but_o absolute_o necessary_a whatever_o
