this_o realm_n to_o its_o inestimable_a advantage_n and_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n have_v be_v hitherto_o in_o great_a measure_n preserve_v but_o if_o these_o society_n shall_v be_v overthrow_v as_o they_o will_v certain_o be_v by_o a_o general_a liberty_n grant_v to_o all_o person_n both_o stranger_n and_o other_o to_o carry_v our_o woollen-manufacture_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o

trade_n of_o england_n to_o the_o native_n of_o this_o realm_n can_v by_o no_o other_o way_n be_v preserve_v than_o by_o the_o same_o method_n it_o be_v at_o first_o obtain_v viz._n the_o support_v the_o several_a and_o respective_a society_n of_o merchant_n in_o their_o privilege_n and_o immunity_n 2_o the_o next_o mischief_n that_o will_v follow_v upon_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o respective_a company_n consequential_a upon_o a_o general_n permission_n be_v this_o that_o all_o the_o beneficial_a privilege_n obtain_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o prince_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o respective_a place_n of_o their_o residence_n will_v be_v utter_o lose_v to_o the_o very_a great_a disadvantage_n of_o the_o vend_n of_o our_o english_a manufacture_n and_o this_o be_v so_o apparent_a that_o it_o need_v no_o enlargement_n for_o if_o the_o company_n fall_v their_o privilege_n must_v necessary_o fall_v with_o they_o and_o though_o obtain_v at_o the_o intercession_n of_o our_o prince_n and_o at_o the_o great_a expense_n and_o solicitation_n of_o the_o say_a company_n yet_o if_o a_o general_n permission_n be_v grant_v to_o all_o person_n to_o trade_n to_o the_o place_n of_o their_o privilege_n they_o will_v be_v forthwith_o look_v upon_o but_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o general_a trader_n and_o their_o privilege_n which_o in_o some_o place_n be_v great_a than_o those_o prince_n own_o subject_n enjoy_v will_v be_v by_o they_o glad_o cell_v and_o re-assumed_n which_o be_v so_o apparent_a to_o every_o man_n reason_n that_o we_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o about_o it_o 3._o the_o last_o mischief_n mention_v arise_v by_o the_o over_o tbrow_n of_o the_o company_n of_o which_o a_o general_a permission_n to_o trade_n to_o the_o place_n of_o the_o privilege_n be_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n be_v this_o that_o the_o navigation_n of_o england_n will_v by_o degree_n be_v thereby_o much_o impair_v and_o this_o be_v almost_o as_o apparent_a as_o the_o former_a for_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a maxim_n that_o the_o increase_n of_o navigation_n follow_v the_o increase_n of_o trade_n and_o if_o the_o trade_n of_o england_n fall_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o foreigner_n as_o it_o will_v in_o a_o little_a time_n do_v by_o the_o discouragement_n of_o english_a merchant_n the_o navigation_n of_o england_n must_v likewise_o in_o time_n decay_n for_o it_o have_v be_v always_o observe_v that_o the_o foreigner_n will_v not_o make_v use_n of_o english_a ship_n if_o he_o can_v have_v any_o other_o for_o beside_o his_o national_a his_o personal_a interest_n lead_v he_o to_o the_o contrary_a in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v have_v his_o good_n carry_v at_o cheap_a rate_n in_o foreign_a ship_n who_o can_v and_o do_v sail_n at_o much_o easy_a charge_n than_o our_o english_a and_o so_o our_o navigation_n by_o degree_n will_v be_v much_o impair_v 3._o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n that_o a_o general_n permission_n will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o gain_v the_o end_n propose_v by_o it_o that_o in_o all_o probability_n it_o will_v in_o the_o event_n prove_v the_o contrary_a which_o if_o we_o make_v out_o as_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v by_o reason_n and_o that_o back_v by_o the_o experience_n of_o former_a and_o latter_a time_n it_o will_v then_o we_o presume_v be_v satisfactory_a to_o all_o disintere_v person_n that_o a_o general_n permission_n will_v be_v no_o way_n for_o the_o good_a but_o much_o to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o order_n to_o the_o proof_n of_o which_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o this_o as_o a_o sure_a maxim_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o quantity_n of_o woollen-manufacture_n export_v but_o what_o the_o market_n abroad_o be_v able_a to_o take_v off_o and_o those_o nation_n expend_v which_o be_v the_o true_a rule_n by_o which_o our_o measure_n must_v be_v take_v as_o to_o the_o expense_n of_o our_o english_a manufacture_n for_o instance_n if_o in_o one_o
