A40418 Free regulated trade, particularly to India the interest of England: being the true, natural means, to promote the navigation and riches of this nation. Forts and castles in India, notwithstanding all specious pretences, are occasionally prov'd to be of uncertain advantage, but of certain inconvenience to us. Discours'd in a letter to a friend. 1691 (1691) Wing F2119A; ESTC R216397 4,198 6

permit_v to_o be_v build_v for_o the_o procure_n of_o pepper_n which_o be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v have_v there_o neither_o but_o be_v so_o mortal_a to_o all_o that_o go_v thither_o that_o it_o

but_o man_n of_o break_a fortune_n or_o youth_n to_o be_v breed_v up_o at_o mean_a salary_n certain_o it_o seem_v a_o paradox_n that_o trade_n to_o country_n of_o so_o vast_a extent_n as_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o india_n and_o african_a company_n charter_n which_o be_v nigh_o half_a the_o world_n shall_v be_v limit_v and_o give_v to_o they_o exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o english_a man_n when_o every_o other_o nation_n do_v or_o may_v trade_n thither_o and_o to_o country_n where_o our_o growth_n and_o manufacture_n may_v be_v in_o great_a quantity_n vent_v and_o with_o they_o may_v be_v purchase_v most_o of_o the_o useful_a and_o noble_a commodity_n that_o the_o world_n produce_v indeed_o it_o be_v unaccountable_a that_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o bury_v our_o talon_n and_o not_o give_v full_a scope_n to_o that_o genius_n we_o have_v to_o traffic_n and_o navigation_n but_o must_v erect_v company_n and_o monopoly_n to_o carry_v it_o no_o far_o than_o just_a what_o their_o own_o interest_n lead_v they_o to_o and_o it_o will_v be_v against_o their_o oath_n shall_v they_o prefer_v the_o public_a good_a in_o prejudice_n to_o the_o joint-stock_n which_o such_o company_n be_v never_o know_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o always_o export_v and_o import_v no_o more_o of_o any_o merchandise_n than_o what_o will_v yield_v they_o their_o state_v profit_n when_o particular_a merchant_n who_o can_v make_v combination_n will_v carry_v out_o and_o bring_v home_o much_o great_a quantity_n of_o all_o commodity_n because_o they_o can_v and_o must_v afford_v they_o with_o less_o profit_n and_o sometime_o must_v content_v themselves_o with_o loss_n and_o yet_o will_v return_v to_o the_o same_o voyage_n to_o see_v to_o recompense_v themselves_o and_o thus_o render_v all_o good_n cheap_a will_n natural_o increase_v the_o vent_n of_o they_o and_o we_o shall_v undo_v our_o foreign_a monopoly_n competitor_n by_o undersel_v they_o which_o will_v be_v a_o benefit_n to_o the_o public_a whereas_o company_n in_o joint-stock_n do_v tax_n the_o nation_n by_o set_v their_o own_o price_n on_o all_o they_o export_v and_o import_v the_o increase_n of_o commerce_n the_o certain_a consequence_n of_o lay_v open_o a_o limit_a trade_n will_v as_o certain_o increase_v navigation_n the_o advantage_n whereof_o will_v be_v very_o great_a from_o the_o length_n of_o the_o voyage_n to_o india_n beside_o the_o employment_n our_o ship_n will_v find_v in_o those_o sea_n the_o banian_a moor_n and_o other_o merchant_n there_o covet_v to_o employ_v english_a ship_n though_o at_o great_a freight_n which_o be_v too_o intricate_a a_o matter_n for_o a_o company_n to_o concern_v themselves_o with_o unless_o sometime_o by_o necessity_n and_o by_o this_o we_o shall_v learn_v more_o experience_n and_o daily_o make_v new_a discovery_n of_o the_o commerce_n of_o those_o people_n which_o may_v prove_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o this_o nation_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v think_v that_o those_o merchant_n when_o the_o trade_n to_o india_n be_v free_a to_o all_o who_o desire_v the_o establishment_n of_o this_o present_a company_n have_v in_o view_n the_o kingdom_n good_a but_o their_o private_a interest_n for_o to_o put_v in_o a_o stock_n in_o this_o company_n may_v then_o be_v more_o beneficial_a to_o those_o person_n than_o trade_v particular_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o to_o be_v manager_n as_o some_o of_o they_o be_v and_o make_v a_o good_a use_n of_o it_o too_o by_o be_v pensioner_n to_o the_o dutch_a who_o interest_n it_o be_v that_o our_o trade_n to_o india_n and_o guinea_n shall_v be_v limit_v by_o joynt-stock_n but_o grant_v the_o establish_n of_o a_o east-india_n company_n with_o a_o joint-stock_n be_v then_o useful_a yet_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v now_o for_o we_o be_v much_o better_o acquaint_v in_o those_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v great_o increase_v and_o tho'_o there_o may_v be_v inconvenience_n in_o a_o absolute_a open_a trade_n a_o regulate_v company_n will_v obviate_v they_o and_o since_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n affair_n be_v reduce_v to_o such_o ill_a circumstance_n there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n why_o the_o nation_n shall_v not_o make_v the_o experiment_n of_o a_o free_a trade_n under_o a_o regulation_n for_o it_o be_v moral_o impossible_a but_o that_o it_o will_v have_v all_o the_o happy_a effect_n i_o have_v propose_v these_o sir_n be_v my_o real_a sentiment_n of_o this_o affair_n at_o this_o time_n so_o much_o controvert_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v you_o do_v not_o think_v my_o judgement_n have_v be_v in_o any_o manner_n influence_v by_o private_a interest_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o such_o a_o suspicion_n for_o if_o such_o regulation_n be_v make_v i_o can_v have_v no_o other_o advantage_n by_o it_o but_o what_o must_v be_v common_a to_o all_o if_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n will_v not_o part_v with_o their_o fort_n but_o on_o exorbitant_a consideration_n i_o can_v tell_v why_o they_o shall_v not_o remain_v with_o they_o to_o make_v the_o most_o of_o their_o great_a revenue_n they_o so_o much_o boast_v of_o for_o except_o st._n helena_n none_o of_o they_o can_v be_v think_v worth_n the_o purchase_n by_o either_o another_o joint-stock_n
