afterward_o appear_v the_o company_n go_v on_o pag._n 3._o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o house_n of_o lord_n that_o the_o east-india_n trade_n shall_v be_v carry_v on_o in_o a_o joint-stock_n exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o but_o omit_v to_o mention_v their_o other_o declaration_n that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o person_n to_o

they_o will_v submit_v to_o such_o regulation_n as_o his_o majesty_n shall_v judge_v proper_a and_o most_o likely_a to_o advance_v the_o trade_n and_o the_o company_n have_v full_o agree_v to_o it_o and_o declare_v their_o resolution_n in_o write_v his_o majesty_n command_v a_o committee_n of_o his_o privy_a council_n to_o prepare_v regulation_n which_o they_o do_v and_o offer_v they_o to_o the_o company_n but_o the_o company_n notwithstanding_o their_o declaration_n of_o submission_n reject_v almost_o all_o the_o material_a particular_n so_o that_o his_o majesty_n find_v that_o what_o

that_o the_o company_n can_v not_o be_v induce_v to_o consent_v to_o any_o such_o regulation_n as_o may_v have_v answer_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o that_o the_o

thousand_o pound_n pay_v out_o of_o the_o company_n stock_n that_o same_o year_n for_o the_o special_a service_n of_o the_o company_n and_o great_a part_n of_o it_o for_o obtain_v the_o say_a
