A88055	A letter, written to a member of Parliament, concerning the East-India trade		1693 (1693)	Wing L1769; ESTC R230707	7,710	12

honourable_a house_n by_o pretend_v their_o estate_n be_v so_o much_o more_o than_o real_o it_o be_v may_v be_v a_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o tax_v like_o the_o millers-man_n in_o the_o west_n who_o be_v hang_v for_o lie_v and_o say_v he_o be_v the_o miller_n himself_o but_o if_o their_o stock_n be_v not_o worth_a 744000_o l._n as_o its_o evident_a it_o be_v not_o than_o their_o be_v rate_v so_o much_o do_v not_o make_v their_o stock_n the_o more_o but_o its_o certain_a it_o make_v it_o the_o less_o such_o a_o proposal_n as_o the_o add_v 744000_o l._n to_o the_o company_n stock_n can_v only_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o give_v the_o whole_a trade_n to_o the_o present_a company_n or_o to_o endanger_v its_o be_v lose_v to_o the_o dutch_a and_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v that_o trade_n the_o more_o national_a that_o it_o make_v it_o the_o less_o for_o they_o alone_o must_v supply_v the_o 744000_o l._n and_o so_o have_v all_o that_o trade_n to_o themselves_o see_v that_o no_o body_n in_o his_o right_a mind_n will_v join_v with_o they_o upon_o those_o term_n they_o themselves_o may_v perhaps_o add_v to_o what_o they_o have_v there_o already_o to_o make_v that_o worth_a something_o which_o now_o they_o know_v be_v otherwise_o worth_a nothing_o and_o to_o be_v sure_o those_o who_o have_v the_o great_a stock_n will_v subscribe_v 10000_o l._n each_o to_o encourage_v other_o to_o do_v the_o like_a for_o its_o only_a pay_v back_o some_o of_o the_o money_n which_o they_o have_v former_o divide_v on_o purpose_n to_o put_v themselves_o as_o they_o once_o say_v out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n for_o to_o induce_v other_o to_o come_v into_o their_o stock_n they_o offer_v personal_a security_n to_o repay_v the_o principle_n money_n and_o interest_n in_o 12_o month_n if_o desire_v that_o so_o ignorant_a people_n widow_n and_o orphan_n who_o know_v nothing_o of_o such_o agreement_n may_v by_o such_o example_n be_v draw_v in_o to_o buy_v or_o subscribe_v how_o honest_a it_o be_v to_o offer_v or_o prudent_a to_o accept_v such_o proposal_n the_o world_n may_v judge_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v just_a like_o two_o sharper_n at_o play_n who_o agree_v together_o to_o play_n booty_n and_o cheat_v all_o the_o rest_n but_o this_o be_v a_o new_a and_o extraordinary_a way_n of_o make_v the_o trade_n national_a and_o diffusive_a and_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v it_o shall_v ever_o receive_v countenance_n from_o our_o legislator_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o strange_a recompense_n for_o all_o the_o unjust_a action_n which_o the_o company_n have_v commit_v as_o well_o towards_o their_o fellow_n subject_n as_o the_o native_n in_o india_n and_o for_o which_o they_o be_v just_o account_v both_o a_o scandal_n to_o our_o religion_n and_o government_n have_v be_v voted_n murderer_n and_o for_o their_o illegal_a proceed_n the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o have_v judge_v some_o of_o they_o may_v be_v just_o except_v out_o of_o the_o act_n of_o indemnity_n so_o that_o its_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o honour_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o parliament_n to_o establish_v this_o company_n who_o have_v so_o high_o affront_v they_o by_o endeavour_v to_o baffle_v they_o and_o procure_v a_o establishment_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o they_o and_o especial_o after_o they_o have_v so_o just_o censure_v they_o and_o make_v two_o solemn_a address_n to_o the_o king_n to_o have_v their_o charter_n dissolve_v the_o establish_v this_o company_n i_o say_v at_o this_o time_n will_v plain_o admit_v of_o the_o pretend_a power_n of_o exclude_v the_o subject_n of_o england_n from_o a_o freedom_n of_o trade_n by_o charter_n to_o the_o freedom_n of_o which_o they_o have_v not_o only_o a_o right_n by_o birth_n but_o it_o be_v likewise_o particular_o take_v care_n of_o and_o secure_v to_o they_o by_o several_a express_a statute_n the_o exercise_n of_o which_o power_n for_o want_n of_o be_v check_v by_o former_a parliament_n have_v already_o give_v colour_n for_o a_o pretence_n to_o claim_v it_o by_o prescription_n the_o ill_a consequence_n of_o which_o no_o man_n can_v foresee_v and_o it_o may_v well_o seem_v strange_a that_o graft_v on_o this_o company_n shall_v now_o be_v think_v a_o reasonable_a proposition_n which_o be_v former_o think_v so_o dangerous_a as_o well_o as_o ridiculous_a that_o it_o be_v very_o proper_o compare_v to_o the_o graft_a a_o peach_n on_o a_o bramble_n if_o some_o man_n mind_n be_v change_v the_o company_n and_o their_o condition_n be_v not_o unless_o from_o bad_a to_o worse_o they_o continue_v now_o as_o much_o a_o bramble_n as_o ever_o they_o be_v and_o be_v still_o as_o dangerous_a and_o unfit_a to_o be_v graft_v upon_o and_o will_v certain_o prove_v so_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v find_v any_o people_n so_o easy_a as_o to_o be_v wheedle_v into_o such_o a_o project_n thus_o sir_n i_o have_v in_o obedience_n to_o your_o command_n give_v you_o my_o thought_n upon_o those_o two_o point_n you_o desire_v what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o hope_v will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v you_o that_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o present_a company_n and_o the_o hinder_v other_o from_o trade_n be_v great_o prejudicial_a to_o this_o kingdom_n in_o general_n and_o be_v chief_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o dutch_a and_o a_o few_o of_o the_o lead_a man_n of_o this_o company_n and_o that_o its_o certain_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o general_n that_o a_o new_a company_n shall_v be_v establish_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o carry_v on_o that_o trade_n either_o like_o the_o turkey_n company_n or_o by_o a_o joint-stock_n of_o 1500000_o l._n or_o 2000000_o l._n to_o be_v whole_o raise_v by_o new_a subscription_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o some_o speedy_a resolution_n shall_v be_v take_v in_o this_o matter_n that_o so_o by_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o this_o trade_n under_o the_o late_a management_n and_o hinder_v other_o from_o partake_v of_o it_o who_o can_v legal_o be_v exclude_v this_o advantageous_a trade_n may_v not_o be_v whole_o give_v up_o to_o the_o dutch_a and_o so_o be_v past_a retrieve_n and_o to_o incline_v you_o the_o more_o to_o think_v of_o some_o speedy_a and_o effectual_a course_n for_o prevent_v so_o great_a a_o mischief_n and_o also_o to_o enforce_v what_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v i_o will_v add_v a_o quotation_n out_o of_o a_o treatise_n of_o trade_n former_o write_v by_o sir_n josiah_n child_n and_o reprint_v this_o year_n 1693_o who_o in_o his_o preface_n say_v thus_o i_o think_v no_o true_a english_a man_n will_v deny_v that_o the_o season_n cry_v aloud_o to_o we_o to_o be_v up_o and_o do_v before_o our_o field_n become_v unoccupied_a and_o before_o the_o dutch_a get_v too_o much_o the_o whip_n hand_n of_o we_o who_o in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v they_o free_a from_o their_o french_a fear_n which_o they_o labour_v under_o at_o present_a i_o fear_v we_o shall_v find_v as_o severe_a taskmaster_n as_o ever_o the_o athenian_n be_v to_o the_o lesser_a trade_n city_n of_o greece_n and_o if_o when_o this_o gentleman_n write_v his_o say_a treatise_n there_o appear_v such_o danger_n of_o the_o dutch_a encroach_a upon_o we_o in_o our_o trade_n it_o will_v certain_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o think_v man_n that_o as_o the_o danger_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o trade_n of_o this_o kingdom_n in_o general_n be_v not_o lessen_v so_o particular_o as_o to_o the_o east-india_n trade_n it_o be_v now_o very_o much_o increase_v and_o as_o he_o have_v far_a observe_v in_o the_o same_o preface_n neither_o be_v the_o dutch_a the_o only_a neighbour_n we_o have_v at_o this_o time_n for_o corrival_n in_o trade_n but_o the_o french_a king_n and_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v now_o as_o active_a circumspect_a industrious_a and_o perspective_n too_o in_o this_o affair_n and_o have_v and_o be_v order_v thing_n as_o prudent_o for_o promote_a thereof_o as_o the_o dutch_a themselves_o to_o which_o number_n there_o may_v likewise_o be_v add_v the_o dane_n portugueze_n and_o genovese_n who_o do_v not_o only_a court_n and_o promote_v all_o trade_n in_o general_n but_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n the_o east-india_n trade_n and_o as_o the_o secure_v the_o turkey_n trade_n from_o our_o enemy_n have_v be_v think_v a_o matter_n worthy_a the_o care_n of_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v the_o preserve_v the_o east-india_n from_o our_o friend_n will_v appear_v of_o such_o concern_v as_o that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v pass_v over_o without_o due_a consideration_n i_o hearty_o wish_v what_o i_o have_v write_v you_o on_o this_o subject_n may_v convince_v you_o of_o the_o necessity_n there_o be_v of_o declare_v this_o trade_n free_a for_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n and_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v employ_v yourself_o vigorous_o therein_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a concern_v as_o well_o for_o the_o secure_v the_o right_n and_o property_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n as_o the_o trade_n of_o this_o kingdom_n you_o may_v perhaps_o think_v i_o have_v touch_v too_o slight_o upon_o the_o subject_a of_o a_o regulate_v company_n what_o i_o have_v be_v oblige_v to_o observe_v to_o you_o as_o to_o other_o matter_n have_v run_v this_o beyond_o the_o ordinary_a bound_n of_o a_o letter_n and_o will_v i_o doubt_v tire_v your_o patience_n beside_o that_o the_o other_o be_v a_o point_n which_o require_v a_o large_a discussion_n than_o my_o time_n will_v allow_v i_o opportunity_n for_o but_o if_o you_o desire_v it_o you_o know_v you_o may_v command_v i_o in_o any_o thing_n though_o i_o can_v wish_v you_o will_v require_v it_o from_o some_o better_a pen_n lest_o you_o shall_v be_v prejudice_v against_o a_o proposition_n which_o if_o accomplish_v will_v be_v so_o extreme_o advantageous_a to_o this_o kingdom_n for_o i_o be_o fearful_a the_o cause_n may_v suffer_v in_o your_o opinion_n by_o my_o ill_n manage_v the_o argument_n which_o may_v be_v use_v for_o its_o defence_n i_o shall_v conclude_v and_o only_o assure_v you_o that_o no_o one_o can_v be_v more_o than_o i_o be_o sir_n your_o most_o oblige_a servant_n
