the_o whole_a kingdom_n second_o to_o discover_v a_o remedy_n if_o possible_a that_o may_v not_o only_o subdue_v this_o potent_a adversary_n but_o also_o introduce_v and_o maintain_v a_o constant_a stock_n of_o trade_n and_o plenty_n of_o money_n and_o so_o consequent_o riches_n and_o honour_n both_o to_o king_n and_o kingdom_n and_o prosperity_n to_o all_o estate_n whatsoever_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v that_o the_o general_a cause_n of_o poverty_n unless_o it_o be_v purpose_v by_o the_o lord_n by_o reason_n of_o iniquity_n be_v first_o the_o daily_o decrease_v of_o good_n and_o commodity_n of_o our_o own_o growth_n fit_a for_o exportation_n second_o the_o double_a increase_n of_o foreign_a costly_a good_n and_o commodity_n bring_v over_o more_o and_o more_o from_o beyond_o the_o sea_n viz._n iron_n timber_n brandy_n french-wine_n linnen-cloth_n and_o other_o french_a commodity_n and_o also_o mum_o coffee_n chocolet_n salt_n &_o salt-petre_a with_o many_o more_o all_o which_o expensive_a commodity_n have_v be_v bring_v into_o general_n use_v and_o import_v in_o this_o nation_n within_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n last_o pass_v or_o little_o more_o linnen-cloth_n and_o wine_n only_o except_v the_o value_n of_o these_o commodity_n import_v can_v but_o amount_v to_o a_o vast_a sum_n we_o may_v modest_o though_o at_o rover_n guess_v it_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n every_o year_n which_o mighty_a sum_n of_o money_n thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n ago_o be_v for_o the_o great_a part_n keep_v at_o home_n now_o easy_o observable_a it_o be_v that_o ever_o since_o such_o prodigious_a increase_n of_o new_a import_v good_n our_o own_o most_o great_a and_o rich_a manufactory_n have_v decrease_v and_o the_o manufactor_n become_v impoverish_v especial_o in_o those_o of_o woollen_a cloth_n and_o iron_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o no_o commodity_n answerable_a have_v be_v raise_v in_o their_o stead_n equal_o to_o balance_v what_o we_o have_v therein_o lose_v of_o our_o own_o growth_n and_o production_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o of_o necessity_n those_o vast_a sum_n of_o money_n aforesaid_a must_v every_o year_n go_v out_o of_o the_o nation_n to_o make_v the_o balance_n of_o trade_n even_o and_o this_o for_o the_o great_a part_n in_o ready_a coin_n as_o may_v i_o conceive_v evident_o be_v demonstrate_v thus_o if_o money_n be_v not_o transport_v than_o our_o own_o manufactory_n which_o be_v much_o diminish_v and_o become_v far_o less_o than_o what_o they_o be_v thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n ago_o will_v now_o find_v quick_a market_n and_o yield_v good_a prize_n to_o the_o great_a encouragement_n of_o the_o manufactor_n
