our emulating if not envying Neighbours whose mercies wee may finde to be Amboyna like cruelties and so much worse than their vassalage by how much that People though subject to Excise and Taxes may be thought one of the happiest throughout the knowne world in that they have not onely speedier Justice than elsewhere amongst themselves but are by their Powers who finde the advancing Trade to be the onely true State Interest and Pollicy protected from all Forraign Injuries and enjoy a full liberty of Conscience and by the wise management of their Overseers have such accommodations and advantages of Trading provided for them to their hand as that they scarce have a beggar amongst them and generally live so comfortably and contentedly as no Nation does the like 4. That some course be taken whereby the Money stock of the Nation may be encreased to such a plentifulnesse as that moneys may be had for all mens occasions at foure or five in the hundred according to the security to be given which the Act lately come out for reducing Interest to six in the hundred cannot doe since besides the being compulsory which perhaps were in all cases best to be forborne except where one man injured another in person or estate that Statute cannot encrease the money stock of the Nation but rather contrariwise as occasioning lesse money to be had at Interest and if the taking higher Interest were not punishable Forraign Nations as they did before these troubles would likely bring in Moneys to put out at Interest and wee had better pay twelve or thirteen in the hundred as they doe in Turkey if wee cannot get it cheaper than be quite without it Now the Hollanders can better a while longer forbeare that benefit which they made in England by Interest than this Nation can their Trade which like water being once stopped in its usuall course makes its own way by another channell and is not so easily brought back againe Wherefore some other course must be faln upon which hath power of multiplying the said stock of the Nation either effectively or virtually to all intents and purposes severall whereof are herein propounded and have been upon other occasion more largely insisted on which had they been made use of would long since have been succesfull against all objections or oppositions 5. That the Fishing Trade be faln upon in earnest what ever it cost without which there can be no considerable nurcery or succession of Marriners nor the Trade of this Common-wealth become predominant and if not predominant over others must become subservlent unto others 6. That withall possible conveniency wee enlarge our Forraign Plantations and get farther footing in Barbarie East and West Indies with other Countries wheresoever it may be compassed Not onely that wee may the better provide our selves of Canvas for Sailes Masts Timber with all other things necessary for Shipping within our own Dominions but also in that a little spot of ground as England is with its Dominions if it doe not enlarge them in future generations I feare me will be found inconsiderable in respect of Spain Portugall the Vnited Provinces or any other European Nation which shall have arrived to and be armed with sive or ten times a greater strength power and riches either from their Asian African or American Dominions Please to prohibit the killing Lambs for some few yeares untill Sheep become multiplyed to as great a number as ever But if you desire to recover the departing woollen Manifacture or prevaile with the Remainder not to bid adiu You must not onely prevent the exporting Wools out of England Ireland and Scotland but must necessarily finde means of compassing all the Woolls of Spain for some yeares together whereby Germany France Italy and the Low Countries being disappointed not onely our own Run-awayes but their respective Manufactors will be necessitat●d to repaire for England to be set a worke Be pleased for the ●●●sent to appoint a certain number of Free Ports that all ●●●●s may enjoy the like immunity so soon as it may be gran●●d without lessning the Publick Revenue such as are most commodioully scituated for trading with Forraign Countries 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 more equally distributing all manner of Forraign Commod●ties throughout this Nation as also for the b●●●●● and cheaper exporting the Manufactures and superfluities of this Common wealth that all Merchandize which shall be b●●●●●● into any of them and afterwards for want of a good M●●●●t againe exported may be free from Custome and Exci●● A course which almost all Sea Towns in Europe have more or lesse made use of at some time or other as no slight Stratagem to make them become populous and for furniming themselves with all manner of Commodities at easiest rates because being once brought thither Merchants will rather sell them at indifferent prices than carry them to another place with so much more charge danger of the Seas and losse of time Let the Natives of any Forraign Country who shall come to trade with us be equally free as to Taxes and such like immunities with the Natives of this Common-wealth which will of necessity induce them to take up their habitations amongst us who else cannot make such benefit thereof as otherwise they might Now righteous gaines and profits are the Rule whch all wise men steer by and the end at which they aym and even such Forraigners as shall resolve to reside and live amongst us will get the advantage of the others that onely come to sell their goods and return againe who in such cases cannot take the best of the Market neither to sell their Commodities nor make returns But if it be said that these n mble pated Forraigners will hereby eat or work the Natives of this Common-wealth out of their Trades and Callings I answer that such Forreigners can onely prejudice such Natives as are negligent lesse industrious or that use false arts in their wayes and Trades For if the Natives be but equally ingenious and upright in their Trades and Dealings they being versed and setled therein already will have the start and advantage enough of any Forreigners that shall afterwards begin and fall into the same Trades But if some Forreiners be more nimble ingenious and industrious in their wayes of Trading than generally the Natives of this Land may it not be consistent with nay even a speciall demonstration of the Wisdome of our Governours to encourage such active spirited Forreigners to a cohabitation with us whom the Fishermen Manifactors and Artificers of Forreign Nations will certainly accompany for all follow and depend upon the Merchant whereby their offspring in the next generation become Natives like our selves And if by such course any of the lesse ingenious Natives of this Land happen to be outgone in their own Trades and Callings let them apply themselves unto some other which requires lesse ingenuity and activenes as they ought to have done at first and will not the industry and ingenuity
