be even out of use and utterly rejected Fifthly the abolishing of Corporations and companies whereby the Comerce is left without support and open to all people whose ignorance and want of experience hath not only suffered our native Commodities to lose their valew abroad but at home pulling up thereby the foundation of all Comerce which the most forwardest in this work heretofore do now see their error and by their own losses find how destructive it is to destroy Government in the least of things and what advantage arises by Vnion in Society and Rule to walk by for this very thing hath so ruinated the Comerce of this Nation that it 's even past cure unlesse some very speedy remedy be applyed thereunto Sixthly the admission of Jews among us a race of people that are the very bane of all trade wheresoever they come and the Horseleeches of every Commonwealth State and Kingdome as it is very evident to all if observation be but taken of those lately crept into this Nation and its Dominions having ingrossed into their hands the quintessence of our trade with all other people and Nations and not only so but in our own American plantations of Barbados Seranam and other parts to the great detriment of both trader and planter filling all parts wheresoever they arive or be admitted with false Mony and Commodities Vsury and such like which practice is so inherent to that people as they count all Christians strangers although by them they be su●●ered to live as Jews never so quietly among them Thus having briefly set down some of the most important Causes of our Nations decay of trade although there be many of smaller account destructive enough that might have been added I shall pa●●e them by in this place and proceed with submission to the more experienced Judgements to shew the way and means which undoubtedly if put in practice in a very short time will not only restore the trade of this Nation to its former splendor and magnitude but increase the same as likewise its shipping to the great incouragement of the traders and advancement of the publique Revenew whereby the honor and glory of this Nation may be the better maintained which is the end and scope for which this Remonstrance is set forth In order to which for the Restoring Increasing the present decayed trade of this Nation its Shipping and Revenew It is meet that a general peace be sought and established with our Neighbours and forein Princes and likewise at home amongst our selves without which trade and ingenious Arts seldome or never flourish Wars and Insurrections being inconsistent to Comerce for where fears and jealousies are raised by Armed Troops amidst a people all men of such professions are dis-heartned Seeing then that it is Peace which produceth and is the Mother of all Comerce Trade and ingenious Arts and being produced nourisheth and sustaineth them Let us see what Issue is to be desired from this noble Stock which may successively maintain the honour of the Progenitor and raise themselves by Industry unto a glorious height of Renown The Productions that are to be here desired are only two The first-born to have a perfectnesse in its Members and Body with Vnity of Spirit not an Hermophrodite a Monster in nature and the defect of Generation Which by way of Comparison I mean that all Trades should center in Companies and Corporations the only Foundation and Pillar upon which a lasting Monument of Trade and Manufactories is to be built and preserved for although Corporations and Companies consist of many Members they are but one Body united and so consequently being thus compact of one Intire Spirit The Advantage arising upon the Settlement of the Comerce of this Nation by Companies and Corporations will be these following First Where many are joyned in a Company to consult and carry on a Trade it 's ever more judicially mannaged both for Profit and Safety than its possible for a particular man to do Secondly By a Company Trade both abroad and at home may be better Regulated as to the season for exporting goods vendible in Forein parts and keeping up their valew and then in making Provisions for Returns Thirdly By Corporations our native Commodities may be kept true according to their Standard and Rule for Waight Measure and Breadth and all falsifyings of them prevented Fourthly Where Companies and Corporations are established Brethren of such Societies are known to each other and as Pillars of the Comerce upon any suddain or immergent necessity of the Nation they will be able among themselves for supply of the Publick to raise considerable sums of mony very easily without trouble or perplexity untill the Incomes of the Nation repay the same Fifthly By Companies many excellent discoveries and Trades have been found out and setled and more likely to be if incouraged to the great increase of our Navigation Shipping and Sea-men as also of Comerce by finding vent for our Manufactories and introducing others among us unknown which particular men as unable either for parts or estates or both can never bring to passe Sixtly Having Companies and Corporations there will be a means and that of great use for the incouragement of many gallant ingenious men by placing them for Heads Governours of the said Companies and Corporations as meriting the same for their industry and knowledge and so more inabled for the management of forein affairs whereby the Publick may be by them the better served and they rewarded and supported in honour when ever they shall be called to these trusts Having thus brought the first born to its full growth and setled him in his proper sphere with such qualifications as are meet for the support of his Dignity I come in the next place to shew you what the second born should be not twins who are seldome long liv'd but of a single body that having the more nourishment it may obtain thereby the greater strength and courage to support and maintain the glory of its birth and succession By which birth I understand I would not that any person in this Nation should be permitted to use two Trades but to apply himself to one only That is no forein Trader as a Merchant to be a retailing Shop-keeper at home nor no Ingrosser or retayling Shop-keeper at home admitted to be a Trader as a Merchant beyond the Seas but each to keep to their Trade and Calling and if they will not whoever will from a Shop-keeper turn Merchant let him but then to be prohibited from keeping a retailing Trade in a Shop the like if a Merchant trading beyond Seas will set up a shop let him then be prohibited from trading as a Merchant beyond Seas There is nothing so mischievous or pernicious to the Comerce of a setled Nation and its Revenue than this is 1.
