according_a to_o his_o own_o tide_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o tide_n of_o business_n the_o thing_n which_o my_o lord_n cook_n say_v be_v good_a and_o too_o little_a but_o at_o this_o time_n it_o be_v too_o much_o but_o that_o be_v past_a howsoever_o if_o they_o shall_v go_v back_o and_o seek_v again_o to_o entertain_v your_o majesty_n with_o new_a order_n or_o offer_v as_o be_v say_v to_o be_v intend_v your_o majesty_n have_v ready_a two_o answer_n of_o repulse_v if_o it_o please_v your_o majesty_n to_o use_v they_o the_o one_o that_o this_o be_v now_o the_o four_o time_n that_o they_o have_v main_o break_v with_o your_o majesty_n and_o contradict_v themselves_o first_o they_o undertake_v to_o die_v and_o dress_v all_o the_o clothes_n of_o the_o realm_n soon_o after_o they_o wound_v themselves_o into_o the_o trade_n of_o whites_n and_o come_v down_o to_o the_o proportion_n contract_v second_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v perform_v that_o contract_n according_a to_o their_o subscription_n pro_fw-la ratâ_fw-la without_o any_o of_o these_o order_n and_o imposition_n soon_o after_o they_o desert_v their_o subscription_n and_o have_v recourse_n to_o these_o device_n of_o order_n three_o if_o by_o order_n and_o not_o by_o subscription_n yet_o their_o order_n shall_v have_v lay_v it_o upon_o the_o whites_n which_o be_v a_o unlawful_a and_o prohibit_v trade_n nevertheless_o they_o will_v have_v bring_v in_o lawful_a and_o settle_a trade_n full_a manufacture_n merchandise_n of_o all_o nature_n poll-money_n or_o brotherhood-money_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o and_o now_o last_o it_o seem_v they_o will_v go_v back_o to_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o whites_n and_o therefore_o whether_o you_o majesty_n will_v any_o more_o rest_n and_o build_v this_o great_a wheel_n of_o your_o kingdom_n upon_o these_o break_a and_o brittle_a pinn_v and_o try_v experiment_n further_o upon_o the_o health_n and_o body_n of_o your_o state_n i_o leave_v to_o your_o princely_a judgement_n the_o other_o answer_n of_o repulse_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o appose_v they_o what_o they_o will_v do_v after_o the_o three_o year_n contract_v for_o which_o be_v a_o point_n hitherto_o not_o much_o stir_v though_o sir_n lionel_n cranfield_n have_v ever_o beat_v upon_o it_o in_o his_o speech_n with_o i_o for_o after_o the_o three_o year_n they_o be_v not_o tie_v otherways_o than_o as_o trade_n shall_v give_v encouragement_n of_o which_o encouragement_n your_o majesty_n have_v a_o bitter_a tast._n and_o if_o they_o shall_v hold_v on_o according_a to_o the_o three_o year_n proportion_n and_o not_o rise_v on_o by_o further_a gradation_n your_o majesty_n have_v not_o your_o end_n no_o i_o fear_v and_o have_v long_o fear_v that_o this_o feed_v of_o the_o foreiner_n may_v be_v dangerous_a for_o as_o we_o may_v think_v to_o hold_v up_o our_o clothing_n by_o vent_n of_o whites_n till_o we_o can_v die_v and_o dress_v so_o they_o i_o mean_v the_o dutch_a will_v think_v to_o hold_v up_o their_o manufacture_n of_o die_v and_o dress_n upon_o our_o whites_n till_o they_o can_v clothe_v so_o as_o your_o majesty_n have_v the_o great_a reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o make_v the_o new_a company_n to_o come_v in_o and_o strengthen_v that_o part_n of_o their_o contract_n and_o they_o refuse_v as_o it_o be_v confident_o believe_v they_o will_v to_o make_v their_o default_n more_o visible_a to_o all_o men._n for_o the_o second_o main_a part_n of_o your_o majesty_n consultation_n that_o be_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v suppose_v a_o absolute_a breach_n i_o have_v have_v some_o speech_n with_o mr._n secretary_n lake_n and_o likewise_o with_o sir_n lionel_n cranfield_n and_o as_o i_o conceive_v t●ere_o may_v be_v three_o way_n take_v into_o consideration_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o old_a company_n be_v restore_v who_o no_o doubt_n be_v in_o appetite_n and_o as_o i_o find_v by_o sir_n lionel_n cranfield_n not_o unprepared_a and_o that_o the_o licence_n the_o one_o that_o of_o 30000_o clothes_n which_o be_v the_o old_a licence_n the_o other_o that_o of_o my_o lord_n of_o cumberland_n which_o be_v without_o stint_n my_o lord_n of_o cumberland_n receive_v satisfaction_n be_v compound_v into_o one_o entire_a licence_n without_o stint_n and_o then_o that_o they_o among_o themselves_o take_v order_n for_o that_o profit_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o your_o majesty_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a and_o know_v way_n wherein_o your_o majesty_n be_v not_o a_o actor_n only_o it_o have_v ●his_fw-la that_o the_o work_n of_o die_v and_o dress_n clothes_n which_o have_v be_v so_o much_o glorify_v seem_v to_o be_v whole_o relinquish_v if_o you_o leave_v there_o the_o second_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o free_a trade_n of_o cloth_n with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o die_v and_o dress_v pay_v no_o custom_n and_o the_o whites_n double_a custom_n it_o be_v a_o merchandise_n prohibit_v and_o only_o licentiate_a this_o continue_v in_o life_n and_o ●ame_n the_o ●ork_n desire_v and_o will_v have_v a_o popular_a applause_n but_o i_o do_v confess_v i_o do_v ever_o think_v that_o trading_n in_o company_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o english_a nature_n which_o want_v that_o same_o general_a vein_n of_o a_o republic_n which_o run_v in_o the_o dutch_a and_o serve_v to_o they_o instead_o of_o a_o company_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v not_o advise_v to_o adventure_v this_o great_a trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o under_o government_n in_o a_o free_a or_o loose_v trade_n the_o three_o be_v a_o compound_v way_n of_o both_o which_o be_v to_o go_v on_o with_o the_o trade_n of_o whites_n by_o the_o old_a company_n restore_v and_o that_o your_o majesty_n profit_n be_v raise_v by_o order_n among_o themselves_o rather_o than_o by_o double_a custom_n wherein_o you_o must_v be_v the_o actor_n and_o that_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v add_v a_o privilege_n to_o the_o same_o
