will_v be_v convince_v that_o riches_n in_o scotland_n will_v be_v beneficial_a to_o england_n since_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o monarchy_n be_v there_o i_o need_v not_o say_v that_o the_o english_a and_o dutch_a be_v free_a people_n and_o may_v sure_o procure_v for_o themselves_o as_o great_a advantage_n as_o scotland_n but_o that_o scotland_n offer_v to_o both_o nation_n a_o share_n in_o that_o

against_o our_o company_n and_o can_v imagine_v in_o what_o term_n any_o such_o address_n either_o from_o they_o or_o the_o english_a can_v run_v shall_v it_o be_v that_o his_o majesty_n ought_v not_o

do_v the_o fish_n company_n in_o k_o c's_o time_n and_o frustrate_v this_o second_o as_o well_o as_o that_o first_o great_a attempt_n to_o make_v the_o nation_n considerable_a that_o there_o have_v be_v underhand_a deal_n though_o without_o his_o majesty_n knowledge_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v the_o affair_n of_o hamborough_n do_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v and_o likewise_o that_o his_o

from_o england_n which_o must_v always_o be_v in_o matter_n of_o trade_n though_o never_o so_o inconsiderable_a neither_o ought_v we_o to_o have_v separate_a minister_n only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o trade_n but_o upon_o all_o occasion_n wherein_o the_o honour_n or_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v concern_v that_o we_o have_v not_o have_v they_o former_o since_o we_o be_v under_o one_o

great_a britain_n but_o now_o we_o be_v undeceive_v and_o sure_o the_o nation_n can_v never_o have_v bestow_v money_n better_o than_o in_o have_v a_o minister_n at_o the_o late_a treaty_n of_o peace_n who_o may_v have_v obtain_v the_o reestablishment_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o privilege_n they_o have_v in_o france_n which_o be_v total_o neglect_v and_o notwithstanding_o the_o great_a and_o unproportionable_a number_n of_o sea_n and_o land_n soldier_n that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o furnish_v for_o the_o support_n of_o the_o war_n yet_o not_o one_o tittle_n of_o advantage_n be_v procure_v to_o we_o by_o the_o peace_n now_o these_o gentleman_n at_o the_o same_o time_n will_v persuade_v we_o to_o pay_v almost_o as_o many_o force_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o we_o do_v in_o time_n of_o

our_o people_n we_o recruit_v in_o holland_n in_o case_n of_o any_o rupture_n abroad_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o english_a or_o dutch_a trade_n may_v be_v employ_v in_o their_o defence_n to_o obviate_v then_o part_n of_o so_o many_o shameful_a thing_n it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o in_o place_n of_o lay_v a_o land_n tax_n upon_o the_o kingdom_n for_o maintain_v force_n to_o defend_v the_o english_a and_o dutch_a trade_n we_o shall_v raise_v one_o for_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o our_o own_o and_o since_o the_o nation_n be_v so_o general_o concern_v in_o this_o indian_a trade_n that_o the_o ruin_n of_o it_o which_o god_n forbid_v may_v very_o probable_o draw_v along_o with_o it_o that_o of_o the_o whole_a trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o a_o perpetual_a discouragement_n from_o ever_o attempt_v any_o thing_n considerable_a hereafter_o that_o a_o twelvemonth_n cess_n shall_v be_v levy_v for_o the_o support_n of_o it_o and_o that_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v the_o product_n of_o that_o money_n by_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o company_n shall_v go_v to_o the_o ease_n of_o the_o nation_n from_o public_a burden_n whenever_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o dividend_n of_o clear_a profit_n for_o it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a that_o since_o the_o company_n have_v be_v unjust_o hinder_v of_o that_o supply_n of_o money_n which_o they_o expect_v and_o may_v have_v have_v from_o stranger_n they_o shall_v have_v recourse_n for_o redress_n to_o the_o parliament_n who_o if_o they_o shall_v think_v sit_v to_o take_v such_o a_o resolution_n the_o company_n will_v be_v able_a immediate_o to_o procure_v a_o advance_n of_o money_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o the_o cess_n it_o will_v be_v also_o sit_v that_o the_o company_n petition_v the_o parliament_n to_o address_v his_o majesty_n that_o the_o three_o small_a frigate_n late_o build_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o this_o nation_n may_v be_v appoint_v for_o a_o convoy_n to_o the_o next_o ship_n they_o shall_v send_v out_o the_o parliament_n
