by_o trade_n here_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o consider_v again_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n a_o nation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v enrich_v by_o trade_n for_o there_o must_v be_v a_o difference_n make_v between_o a_o nation_n grow_v rich_a and_o particular_a man_n do_v so_o by_o it_o and_o i_o humble_o propose_v that_o it_o may_v be_v possible_a for_o private_a man_n to_o be_v

same_o for_o our_o outland_n trade_n if_o we_o export_v the_o true_a riches_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o that_o which_o we_o consume_v on_o our_o luxury_n though_o private_a man_n may_v get_v by_o each_o other_o yet_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v not_o any_o way_n increase_v for_o suppose_v by_o one_o hundred_o butt_n of_o wine_n the_o importer_n get_v five_o hundred_o pound_n yet_o when_o drink_v among_o ourselves_o the_o nation_n be_v not_o thereby_o rich_a but_o poor_a and_o so_o much_o poor_a as_o those_o wine_n cost_v at_o first_o for_o if_o import_v by_o english_a man_n

labour_n and_o such_o be_v all_o our_o growth_n and_o manufacture_n to_o apply_v this_o now_o to_o the_o east-india_n trade_n we_o will_v first_o consider_v what_o be_v its_o export_n and_o import_v and_o then_o inquire_v cui_fw-la bono_n whether_o the_o contest_v for_o this_o trade_n do_v proceed_v from_o a_o design_n to_o serve_v the_o nation_n or_o from_o principle_n of_o self-interest_n or_o whether_o the_o member_n of_o that_o company_n who_o strive_v so_o much_o about_o it_o will_v if_o in_o other_o circumstance_n still_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o principle_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o true_a be_v always_o so_o we_o may_v change_v our_o opinion_n but_o they_o do_v not_o change_v their_o certainty_n i_o confess_v as_o the_o state_n of_o the_o nation_n alter_v so_o must_v our_o measure_n in_o trade_n but_o than_o it_o must_v appear_v that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o not_o our_o private_a interest_n make_v we_o to_o alter_v they_o now_o when_o i_o find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a interest_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o advance_v the_o product_n and_o manufacture_n thereof_o i_o shall_v change_v my_o opinion_n first_o then_o to_o begin_v with_o their_o export_n and_o here_o i_o need_v not_o say_v much_o it_o be_v general_o allow_v by_o the_o trader_n themselves_o that_o our_o product_n and_o manufacture_n be_v the_o least_o part_n thereof_o consist_v chief_o in_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o in_o return_v they_o import_n such_o good_n which_o be_v again_o export_v do_v bring_v from_o foreign_a part_n much_o more_o treasure_n in_o specie_fw-la which_o lead_v i_o second_o to_o consider_v what_o those_o import_v be_v and_o what_o become_v of_o they_o they_o chief_o be_v saltpetre_n pepper_n calico_n drug_n indigo_n and_o silk_n both_o wrought_v and_o raw_a many_o of_o which_o commodity_n be_v very_o necessary_a as_o well_o for_o our_o home_n expense_n as_o to_o export_v again_o other_o vast_o prejudicial_a to_o we_o as_o they_o hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n both_o abroad_o and_o at_o home_o and_o this_o latter_a outweigh_v the_o former_a calico_n and_o wrought_v silk_n be_v the_o thing_n i_o chief_o aim_v at_o and_o hope_v to_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v that_o those_o two_o commodity_n do_v we_o more_o prejudice_n in_o our_o manufacture_n than_o all_o the_o advantage_n they_o bring_v either_o to_o private_a purse_n or_o to_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o parliament_n will_v prohibit_v
