A32833	A new discourse of trade wherein is recommended several weighty points relating to companies of merchants : the act of navigation, naturalization of strangers, and our woollen manufactures, the balance of trade, and the nature of plantations, and their consequences in relation to the kingdom, are seriously discussed and some proposals for erecting a court of merchants for determining controversies, relating to maritime affairs, and for a law for transferrance of bills of depts, are humbly offered / by Josiah Child.

for_o by_o the_o expense_n of_o such_o a_o quantity_n we_o can_v rational_o lose_v only_o the_o first_o cost_n which_o be_v but_o about_o 6_o or_o 7_o l._n per_fw-la tun_n and_o that_o amount_v to_o

lose_v to_o england_n to_o conclude_v this_o head_n i_o do_v agree_v full_o with_o the_o gentleman_n that_o luxury_n and_o prodigality_n be_v as_o well_o prejudicial_a to_o kingdom_n as_o to_o

of_o interest_n i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n and_o that_o therefore_o all_o that_o this_o gentleman_n have_v say_v about_o luxury_n etc._n etc._n be_v against_o
