as_o to_o the_o first_o a_o liberty_n to_o inhabit_v and_o reside_v as_o housekeeper_n or_o warehouse-keeper_n it_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o freedom_n of_o trade_n and_o no_o more_o be_v desire_v

mutual_a commerce_n else_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o reciprocation_n and_o equality_n can_v any_o kingdom_n or_o city_n rational_o expect_v a_o free_a trade_n in_o another_o kingdom_n or_o city_n that_o be_v of_o equal_a dignity_n and_o power_n with_o and_o not_o in_o vassalage_n and_o subjection_n to_o they_o when_o they_o will_v not_o admit_v it_o in_o their_o own_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o english_a be_v exclude_v commerce_n in_o paris_n the_o french_a may_v be_v exclude_v in_o london_n and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o dishonourable_a for_o his_o

second_o a_o liberty_n to_o import_v and_o bring_v in_o any_o merchandise_n etc._n etc._n we_o do_v limit_n and_o restrain_v the_o same_o by_o this_o clause_n as_o full_o and_o free_o as_o the_o subject_n of_o france_n may_v that_o so_o the_o liberty_n to_o the_o french_a of_o import_v into_o england_n may_v be_v equal_o restrain_v by_o a_o like_a clause_n as_o full_o and_o free_o as_o the_o english_a may_v intend_v thereby_o to_o preserve_v the_o act_n of_o navigation_n whereby_o the_o english_a be_v debar_v from_o import_v good_n from_o some_o place_n unless_o in_o english_a build_v ship_n and_o from_o other_o in_o english_a ship_n or_o ship_n of_o such_o country_n whereof_o the_o good_n be_v the_o product_n or_o manufacture_n otherwise_o if_o the_o word_n be_v leave_v in_o general_a to_o import_v any_o merchandise_n the_o french_a may_v thereby_o claim_v a_o liberty_n of_o import_v good_n into_o england_n contrary_a to_o that_o act_n and_o thereby_o the_o say_a act_n so_o beneficial_a to_o this_o kingdom_n will_v be_v render_v of_o little_a use_n or_o benefit_n and_o the_o french_a will_v be_v make_v more_o free_a and_o have_v great_a privilege_n in_o england_n than_o his_o majesty_n be_v own_o subject_n 3._o as_o to_o the_o three_o a_o particular_a specification_n of_o liberty_n for_o the_o english_a to_o import_n and_o vend_n all_o sort_n of_o woollen_a and_o silk_n manufacture_n without_o visitation_n etc._n etc._n we_o humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o vent_v of_o our_o manufacture_n in_o france_n be_v the_o chief_a if_o not_o the_o only_a thing_n by_o which_o the_o english_a nation_n can_v reap_v any_o considerable_a benefit_n from_o the_o trade_n of_o france_n ought_v special_o and_o particular_o to_o be_v provide_v for_o that_o they_o may_v be_v free_o admit_v without_o restriction_n or_o visitation_n on_o pretence_n whereof_o in_o virtue_n of_o some_o old_a law_n in_o france_n for_o regulation_n of_o drapery_n the_o officer_n in_o france_n have_v oftentimes_o cause_v the_o english_a drapery_n to_o be_v throw_v into_o the_o water_n whereby_o they_o have_v be_v render_v unfit_a for_o sale_n and_o the_o like_a practice_n if_o not_o well_o provide_v against_o may_v at_o any_o time_n be_v make_v use_v of_o and_o will_v be_v as_o effectual_a to_o destroy_v our_o trade_n as_o a_o prohibition_n that_o which_o we_o apprehend_v may_v be_v object_v by_o the_o french_a
minister_n be_v 1._o that_o the_o law_n for_o visitation_n of_o cloth_n in_o france_n be_v ancient_a law_n be_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o allow_v in_o the_o treaty_n of_o 1606._o with_o some_o provision_n touch_v the_o same_o as_o the_o make_v the_o conservator_n of_o trade_n judge_n of_o what_o be_v faulty_a and_o what_o not_o and_o give_v liberty_n to_o carry_v the_o faulty_a back_n without_o confiscation_n and_o that_o the_o like_a provision_n may_v be_v make_v in_o this_o present_a treaty_n 2._o that_o this_o be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o king_n of_o france_n his_o own_o subject_n that_o be_v maker_n of_o drapery_n be_v subject_v to_o and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v except_v against_o by_o the_o english_a for_o answer_v to_o which_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v true_a in_o fact_n as_o be_v allege_v we_o say_v 1._o that_o ancient_a law_n for_o the_o regulation_n of_o the_o make_n of_o drapery_n be_v not_o now_o of_o use_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o end_v design_v at_o their_o first_o constitution_n for_o that_o the_o manufacture_n be_v change_v and_o alter_v according_a to_o the_o mode_n and_o fancy_n of_o the_o time_n 2._o it_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o treaty_n of_o 1606._o that_o the_o put_v those_o law_n in_o execution_n against_o the_o english_a be_v a_o grievance_n than_o complain_v of_o and_o the_o provision_n then_o make_v have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a but_o the_o english_a have_v since_o that_o time_n exceed_o suffer_v in_o their_o trade_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o desire_v that_o by_o this_o treaty_n a_o full_a and_o perfect_a exemption_n of_o the_o english_a drapery_n from_o those_o law_n may_v be_v settle_v 3._o that_o law_n in_o this_o kind_n be_v proper_o make_v in_o every_o respective_a country_n for_o the_o promote_a their_o own_o manufacture_n and_o not_o to_o oblige_v the_o maker_n in_o other_o country_n the_o king_n of_o france_n may_v make_v what_o law_n he_o please_v for_o regulation_n of_o his_o own_o manufacture_n whereby_o to_o render_v they_o in_o esteem_n and_o repute_v but_o we_o humble_o conceive_v ought_v not_o to_o impose_v the_o same_o on_o the_o english_a but_o that_o they_o may_v make_v such_o manufacture_n and_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o they_o judge_v fit_a the_o buyer_n be_v to_o look_v what_o they_o buy_v if_o the_o english_a do_v not_o make_v so_o good_a and_o serviceable_a commodity_n they_o will_v lose_v the_o vent_n and_o the_o french_a will_v have_v the_o advantage_n thereby_o and_o we_o pray_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v that_o these_o law_n be_v not_o so_o much_o if_o at_o all_o make_v use_v of_o for_o regulation_n of_o french_a manufacture_n in_o their_o goodness_n and_o repute_n as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o english_a trade_n in_o drapery_n 4._o as_o to_o the_o four_o a_o liberty_n for_o the_o english_a reside_v in_o france_n to_o buy_v and_o sell_v either_o for_o their_o own_o account_n or_o by_o commission_n as_o factor_n for_o other_o this_o we_o desire_v because_o at_o bourdeaux_n and_o other_o place_n the_o english_a have_v be_v at_o some_o time_n express_o prohibit_v and_o be_v not_o at_o any_o time_n permit_v de_fw-la jure_fw-la but_o by_o connivance_n to_o sell_v any_o good_n for_o other_o by_o way_n of_o commission_n and_o great_a penalty_n be_v enjoin_v upon_o the_o same_o we_o pray_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v how_o impossible_a it_o be_v that_o the_o english_a shall_v breed_v up_o any_o youngman_n in_o france_n as_o merchant_n when_o they_o be_v not_o permit_v there_o as_o factor_n youngman_n not_o have_v stock_n to_o give_v they_o employ_v and_o answer_v expense_n can_v and_o man_n of_o year_n estate_n and_o family_n will_v not_o leave_v their_o own_o country_n to_o reside_v in_o france_n so_o that_o if_o this_o be_v not_o provide_v for_o there_o will_v no_o english_a reside_v in_o france_n to_o trade_n whenas_o england_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o french_a factor_n to_o learn_v here_o the_o trade_n of_o merchant_n who_o have_v raise_v estate_n here_o return_v to_o their_o own_o country_n with_o their_o wealth_n and_o send_v other_o youngman_n to_o settle_v in_o their_o room_n beside_o the_o english_a must_v either_o have_v very_o little_a trade_n to_o france_n or_o else_o must_v hazard_v their_o estate_n by_o put_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o french_a which_o may_v be_v attend_v with_o many_o inconvenience_n proposal_n iii_o the_o three_o proposal_n touch_v custom_n contain_v three_o particular_n 1._o the_o reduction_n of_o the_o custom_n in_o france_n on_o english_a manufacture_n of_o wool_n and_o silk_n to_o a_o equality_n 2._o a_o assurance_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v charge_v hereafter_o with_o new_a imposition_n or_o excise_n nor_o any_o defence_n make_v of_o their_o consumption_n 3._o the_o render_v the_o english_a free_a from_o stranger_n custom_n in_o france_n 1._o as_o to_o the_o first_o the_o reduction_n of_o custom_n we_o pray_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v the_o necessity_n of_o establish_v the_o custom_n on_o a_o equal_a foot_n otherwise_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o english_a to_o have_v any_o considerable_a vent_n of_o their_o manufacture_n in_o france_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o as_o your_o lordship_n will_v perceive_v by_o the_o scheme_n herewith_o present_v will_v be_v by_o the_o continue_v the_o french_a trade_n a_o daily_o waste_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o that_o our_o import_v will_n so_o vast_o exceed_v our_o export_n object_n 1._o that_o his_o majesty_n have_v lay_v great_a imposition_n on_o french_a wine_n and_o brandy_n which_o as_o they_o may_v suppose_v or_o pretend_v may_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o subject_n of_o france_n both_o in_o quantity_n and_o price_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v answ_n 1._o that_o in_o fact_n it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o that_o since_o his_o majesty_n impose_v those_o duty_n the_o quantity_n of_o wine_n and_o brandy_n import_v into_o england_n from_o france_n have_v be_v far_o great_a and_o purchase_v at_o much_o high_a price_n than_o before_o from_o mich._n 1663._o to_o mich._n 1664._o there_o be_v import_v into_o the_o port_n of_o london_n 6828_o tun_n of_o french_a wine_n and_o the_o quantity_n of_o brandy_n be_v then_o so_o small_a that_o it_o deserve_v not_o to_o be_v note_v from_o mich._n 1667_o to_o mich._n 1669_o be_v after_o the_o raise_n the_o duty_n on_o those_o commodity_n there_o be_v import_v into_o the_o port_n of_o london_n in_o the_o say_v two_o year_n about_o 17000_o tun_n of_o wine_n and_o of_o brandy_n about_o 3000_o tun_n from_o mich._n 1672_o to_o mich._n 1674._o be_v two_o year_n be_v import_v into_o the_o port_n of_o

it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o imposition_n on_o wine_n and_o brandy_n in_o england_n be_v only_o on_o his_o majesty_n subject_n on_o the_o consumption_n and_o do_v no_o way_n impair_v the_o trade_n of_o those_o commodity_n either_o in_o quantity_n or_o price_n to_o the_o people_n of_o france_n 2._o we_o answer_v that_o imposition_n in_o england_n on_o wine_n and_o brandy_n can_v proper_o be_v object_v against_o the_o reduction_n of_o the_o imposition_n on_o english_a manufacture_n in_o france_n for_o that_o the_o french_a manufacture_n import_v into_o england_n do_v not_o only_o answer_v but_o exceed_o much_o surmount_v in_o value_v the_o english_a manufacture_n import_v into_o france_n so_o that_o the_o wine_n and_o brandy_n stand_v upon_o a_o distinct_a foot_n and_o the_o french_a have_v whole_o the_o advantage_n thereof_o above_o the_o english_a object_n 2._o if_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v that_o the_o reduction_n of_o the_o imposition_n on_o the_o english_a manufacture_n in_o france_n will_v ruin_v the_o french_a manufacture_n answ_n we_o shall_v only_o crave_v leave_n with_o all_o submission_n to_o say_v that_o without_o a_o reduction_n not_o only_o the_o
