A32839	A treatise wherein is demonstrated, I. That the East-India trade is the most national of all foreign trades, II. That the clamors, aspersions, and objections made against the present East-India company, are sinister, selfish, or groundless, III. That since the discovery of the East-Indies, the dominion of the sea depends much upon the wane or increase of that trade, and consequently the security of the liberty, property, and protestant religion of this kingdom, IV. That the trade of the East-Indies cannot be carried on to national advantage, in any other way than by a general joynt stock, V. That the East-India trade is more profitable and necessary to the kingdom of England, than to any other kingdom or nation in Europe by Philopatris.	Child, Josiah, Sir, 1630-1699.	1681 (1681)	Wing C3866; ESTC R19413	24,211	48

their_o trade_n for_o india_n but_o wool_n be_v advance_v in_o price_n above_o 50_o per_fw-la cent_z and_o such_o a_o trade_n there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v for_o woollen_a manufacture_n as_o

that_o have_v lose_v their_o manufacture_n of_o blue_a cloth_n but_o the_o worcestershire_n glocestershire_n and_o somersetshire_n man_n that_o do_v now_o make_v and_o vend_fw-mi above_o twenty_o time_n the_o quantity_n of_o cloth_n which_o they_o do_v before_o this_o company_n be_v erect_v 3._o how_o they_o begin_v to_o complain_v which_o as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v be_v thus_o their_o first_o petition_n be_v draw_v only_o against_o the_o turkey_n company_n for_o make_v but_o one_o cloth_n ship_n in_o a_o year_n but_o entertain_v a_o certain_a council_n since_o famous_a for_o

they_o do_v but_o whether_o they_o be_v dutch_a or_o english_a that_o pay_v the_o best_a fee_n that_o i_o can_v never_o discover_v 4._o why_o they_o complain_v that_o i_o believe_v few_o of_o they_o understand_v it_o can_v not_o be_v because_o their_o trade_n sink_v for_o that_o be_v manifest_o and_o wonderful_o increase_v it_o can_v not_o be_v because_o the_o east-india_n company_n as_o a_o company_n send_v out_o less_o cloth_n than_o be_v send_v for_o india_n in_o the_o open_a trade_n for_o the_o entry_n at_o custom-house_n will_v evidence_n that_o the_o company_n since_o their_o last_o

be_v open_a there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a world_n for_o cloth_n that_o will_v vent_v as_o much_o as_o the_o old_a world_n and_o if_o they_o have_v any_o dutch_a or_o french_a customer_n no_o question_n they_o will_v not_o be_v backward_o to_o encourage_v so_o good_a a_o work_n object_n 7._o they_o complain_v that_o the_o present_a stock_n be_v ingross_v into_o a_o few_o hand_n some_o single_a adventurer_n have_v 16_o or_o 17000_o l._n principal_a stock_n in_o their_o own_o name_n an._n 1._o if_o this_o be_v true_a the_o complaint_n of_o it_o will_v sound_v better_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o old_a leveller_n than_o a_o merchant_n live_v under_o a_o free_a and_o royal_a monarchy_n and_o yet_o to_o give_v the_o mad_a of_o man_n their_o due_a neither_o the_o late_a english_a leveller_n nor_o their_o elder_a brethren_n the_o tribune_n of_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n nor_o yet_o the_o more_o ancient_a lacedaemonian_n or_o other_o greek_n none_o of_o they_o have_v

whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_n they_o think_v whoever_o adventure_n most_o in_o their_o joint_a stock_n do_v most_o oblige_v the_o commonwealth_n though_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n insomuch_o as_o

selfish_a or_o groundless_a before_o i_o engage_v into_o the_o discourse_n of_o objection_n against_o the_o present_a east-india_n company_n i_o shall_v not_o stick_v to_o declare_v though_o it_o be_v against_o the_o sense_n of_o most_o of_o the_o now_o adventurer_n that_o in_o my_o judgement_n i_o be_o for_o a_o new_a stock_n provide_v we_o can_v come_v honest_o by_o it_o that_o be_v without_o

in_o that_o august_n assembly_n of_o parliament_n now_o convene_v shall_v incline_v to_o any_o a_o teration_n of_o the_o present_a constitution_n i_o think_v this_o time_n may_v be_v as_o opportune_a as_o any_o one_a because_o our_o neighbour_n be_v not_o now_o at_o leisure_n the_o french_a be_v very_o low_o in_o india_n and_o the_o dutch_a not_o altogether_o so_o rampant_a as_o former_o to_o make_v their_o advantage_n of_o our_o unsettlement_n during_o the_o transition_n from_o one_o stock_n to_o another_o 2_o because_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n be_v never_o so_o much_o cry_v up_o as_o now_o they_o be_v so_o that_o i_o hope_v the_o subscription_n may_v prove_v the_o large_a to_o the_o ensue_a stock_n and_o yet_o i_o must_v desire_v to_o be_v excuse_v if_o i_o think_v those_o that_o complain_v most_o of_o the_o old_a will_v not_o be_v find_v the_o forward_a subscriber_n to_o a_o new_a stock_n 3_o because_o when_o we_o tell_v gentleman_n or_o other_o they_o may_v buy_v stock_n and_o come_v into_o the_o company_n when_o they_o please_v they_o present_o reply_v they_o know_v that_o but_o then_o they_o must_v pay_v 280_o l._n for_o 100_o l._n and_o when_o we_o say_v the_o intrinsic_n value_n be_v worth_a so_o much_o which_o be_v as_o true_a as_o 2_o and_o 2_o make_v 4_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o demonstrate_v to_o their_o apprehension_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a task_n to_o make_v out_o that_o the_o quick_a stock_n of_o the_o english_a east-india_n company_n be_v at_o this_o time_n more_o than_o the_o dutch_a quick_a stock_n proportionable_a to_o their_o respective_a first_o subscription_n and_o yet_o their_o action_n now_o be_v currant_n at_o 440_o l._n or_o 450_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n in_o truth_n i_o that_o have_v reason_n to_o inspect_v and_o know_v as_o much_o of_o it_o as_o any_o man_n have_v rather_o buy_v in_o this_o stock_n now_o it_o be_v at_o 300_o l._n for_o 100_o l._n then_o come_v into_o any_o new_a stock_n at_o even_a money_n therefore_o for_o general_a satisfaction_n i_o can_v wish_v the_o experiment_n of_o a_o new_a subscription_n be_v try_v 4_o if_o a_o new_a stock_n be_v now_o establish_v to_o please_v the_o generality_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o shall_v not_o despair_v but_o that_o such_o new_a stock_n will_v have_v a_o parliamentary_a sanction_n which_o this_o only_a want_n to_o be_v as_o strong_a in_o its_o foundation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o all_o other_o nation_n and_o which_o be_v obtain_v i_o be_o persuade_v will_v in_o less_o than_o a_o age_n render_v his_o

upon_o such_o a_o foundation_n there_o will_v be_v more_o encouragement_n to_o maintain_v and_o defend_v some_o trade_n by_o arm_n which_o can_v otherwise_o be_v enjoy_v or_o secure_v which_o no_o

of_o success_n but_o to_o return_v to_o my_o theme_n and_o muster_v up_o all_o the_o objection_n i_o can_v remember_v to_o have_v hear_v against_o the_o present_a company_n object_n 1._o the_o first_o that_o come_v to_o my_o mind_n be_v that_o of_o some_o of_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n they_o say_v the_o bring_n in_o of_o so_o much_o silk_n and_o so_o cheap_a be_v a_o public_a nuisance_n and_o destroy_v their_o trade_n which_o depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o exportation_n of_o woollen_a manufacture_n whereas_o the_o east-india_n company_n send_v out_o little_a manufacture_n and_o much_o bullion_n etc._n etc._n answ._n 1._o lanswer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v strange_a doctrine_n to_o any_o sort_n of_o man_n skilled_a in_o the_o political_a part_n of_o trade_n that_o the_o make_n of_o a_o material_a cheap_a that_o be_v to_o be_v manufacture_v at_o home_o or_o export_v again_o into_o foreign_a country_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o public_a damage_n of_o any_o country_n 2._o that_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n do_v ship_n out_o much_o cloth_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o as_o true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v ship_v out_o more_o yearly_o since_o the_o great_a increase_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n and_o since_o themselves_o have_v make_v this_o complaint_n than_o they_o do_v in_o former_a year_n so_o that_o in_o fact_n it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n and_o particular_o of_o their_o importation_n of_o silk_n do_v hinder_v or_o diminish_v the_o exportation_n of_o cloth_n to_o turkey_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n 3._o the_o question_n be_v not_o now_o which_o company_n send_v out_o most_o woollen_a manufacture_n but_o which_o be_v the_o most_o profitable_a trade_n to_o the_o nation_n which_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o east-india_n trade_n to_o be_v especial_o if_o the_o beforementioned_a consideration_n be_v take_v in_o that_o what_o english_a commodity_n the_o east-india_n company_n export_v will_v not_o be_v export_v at_o all_o if_o the_o english_a have_v no_o trade_n thither_o because_o other_o nation_n that_o trade_n thither_o be_v under_o joynt-stock_n and_o political_a council_n and_o consequent_o will_v send_v none_o of_o our_o manufacture_n but_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o market_n for_o our_o english_a cloth_n in_o turkey_n if_o the_o english_a do_v not_o send_v it_o thither_o the_o dutch_a will_v because_o in_o holland_n there_o be_v no_o turkey_n company_n but_o any_o man_n native_a or_o foreigner_n may_v send_v what_o commodity_n and_o when_o they_o please_v for_o turkey_n except_o they_o be_v stay_v for_o convoy_n by_o some_o act_n of_o state_n and_o where_o all_o man_n have_v liberty_n to_o trade_n at_o discretion_n they_o will_v natural_o deal_v in_o those_o commodity_n they_o can_v get_v most_o by_o be_v they_o foreign_a or_o domestic_a 4._o if_o bullion_n be_v export_v and_o that_o hinder_v not_o the_o exportation_n of_o our_o english_a manufacture_n as_o in_o fact_n do_v appear_v and_o if_o for_o every_o 10_o s._n value_v send_v out_o 30_o s._n be_v bring_v in_o bullion_n at_o the_o long_o run_v which_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o the_o course_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n who_o can_v doubt_v but_o the_o exportation_n of_o bullion_n in_o such_o a_o trade_n be_v a_o real_a and_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o kingdom_n 5._o beside_o their_o cloth_n the_o turkey_n merchant_n do_v send_v out_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o bullion_n themselves_o as_o appear_v by_o their_o entry_n at_o the_o customhouse_n in_o which_o they_o do_v

per_fw-la cent._n within_o my_o memory_n and_o yet_o the_o exportation_n of_o woollen_a manufacture_n to_o portugal_n be_v now_o great_a than_o ever_o it_o be_v since_o england_n be_v a_o trade_a nation_n just_o as_o it_o be_v and_o will_v prove_v in_o the_o turkey_n trade_n the_o simile_n hold_v and_o will_v hold_v throughout_o 7._o if_o those_o turkey_n merchant_n think_v the_o east-india_n trade_n so_o good_a why_o do_v they_o not_o come_v into_o it_o themselves_o the_o door_n be_v open_a always_o to_o they_o and_o all_o the_o king_n subject_n buy_v and_o sell_v there_o be_v daily_o and_o some_o nobleman_n gentleman_n and_o other_o of_o quality_n and_o place_n have_v late_o buy_v stock_n and_o the_o east-india_n company_n have_v take_v nothing_o for_o their_o freedom_n the_o most_o they_o can_v take_v be_v 5_o l._n but_o if_o any_o east-india_n merchant_n desire_v to_o trade_n for_o turkey_n they_o must_v answer_v several_a hard_a question_n before_o they_o can_v be_v let_v in_o 1._o how_o old_a be_v you_o 2._o be_v you_o a_o freeman_n of_o london_n 3._o be_v you_o no_o shopkeeper_n or_o a_o legitimate_a merchant_n when_o you_o have_v answer_v all_o these_o question_n to_o their_o content_n if_o you_o be_v above_o 25_o year_n of_o age_n there_o be_v 50_o l._n to_o pay_v before_o you_o can_v trade_v which_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o money_n to_o part_v with_o before_o one_o know_v whether_o he_o shall_v get_v or_o lose_v by_o the_o bargain_n obj._n 2._o they_o say_v there_o be_v not_o above_o 80_o legitimate_a merchant_n in_o the_o east-india_n company_n answ._n first_o i_o answer_v first_o by_o legitimate_a merchant_n i_o suppose_v they_o mean_v such_o as_o have_v serve_v apprenticeship_n to_o merchant_n in_o the_o number_n whereof_o i_o believe_v they_o reckon_v short_a above_o half_a 2._o that_o it_o matter_n not_o two_o straw_n to_o the_o kingdom_n whether_o they_o be_v legitimate_a in_o their_o sense_n or_o illegitimate_a in_o the_o whole_a they_o be_v now_o five_o hundred_o fifty_o and_o six_o which_o be_v more_o by_o a_o great_a many_o than_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n and_o more_o by_o above_o half_a then_o they_o will_v be_v if_o the_o trade_n be_v not_o manage_v in_o a_o joint_a stock_n object_n 3._o they_o say_v the_o company_n have_v half_a the_o know_a world_n in_o their_o charter_n and_o that_o be_v too_o much_o for_o any_o company_n etc._n etc._n answ._n i_o answer_v first_o this_o company_n have_v no_o more_o in_o their_o charter_n than_o all_o the_o east-india_n company_n in_o christendom_n have_v in_o their_o charter_n and_o from_o thence_o infer_v that_o either_o so_o much_o as_o be_v in_o the_o charter_n ought_v to_o be_v for_o public_a utility_n or_o ell_n all_o christendom_n except_o those_o few_o gentleman_n that_o complain_v be_v mistake_v in_o their_o politic_n 2._o though_o the_o charter_n run_v in_o the_o stile_n of_o the_o merchant_n of_o london_n trade_v to_o the_o east-indies_n yet_o in_o truth_n the_o company_n be_v a_o company_n of_o all_o or_o so_o many_o of_o the_o king_n subject_n as_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v concern_v in_o that_o trade_n or_o yet_o do_v they_o buy_v the_o stock_n of_o any_o dead_a person_n or_o other_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o sell._n object_n 3._o but_o it_o be_v dear_a buy_v at_o 280_o l._n per_fw-la cent._n answ_n 1_o it_o be_v less_o than_o the_o intrinsique_n value_n if_o the_o stock_n be_v now_o to_o be_v break_v up_o if_o i_o can_v calculate_v aright_o 2._o if_o it_o be_v too_o dear_a i_o know_v not_o but_o any_o man_n may_v be_v as_o just_o compel_v to_o sell_v his_o house_n or_o land_n at_o the_o buyer_n price_n or_o else_o be_v disseize_v of_o it_o as_o his_o stock_n in_o the_o east-india_n company_n object_n 4._o they_o say_v the_o charter_n have_v exorbitant_a and_o illegal_a clause_n in_o it_o answ_n 1_o i_o believe_v no_o charter_n in_o europe_n have_v less_o of_o that_o kind_n 2._o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o public_a good_a that_o whoever_o govern_v a_o trade_n so_o remote_a from_o england_n and_o by_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o hand_n as_o the_o company_n be_v force_v to_o employ_v shall_v have_v some_o extraordinary_a power_n commit_v to_o they_o 3._o whatever_o be_v in_o the_o charter_n i_o never_o know_v or_o hear_v of_o any_o arbitrary_a act_n that_o ever_o the_o company_n do_v nor_o any_o ship_n or_o good_n that_o ever_o they_o seize_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o charter_n though_o they_o have_v have_v cause_n often_o object_n 4._o they_o say_v the_o company_n have_v impose_v and_o exact_v great_a fine_n mulct_n and_o forfeiture_n to_o a_o immense_a value_n answ._n i_o never_o know_v they_o take_v any_o fine_a or_o forfeiture_n but_o what_o any_o man_n may_v do_v in_o the_o same_o case_n without_o a_o charter_n what_o they_o do_v take_v in_o any_o case_n be_v either_o by_o submission_n of_o the_o party_n by_o agreement_n with_o the_o master_n and_o owner_n in_o charterparty_n or_o by_o arbitration_n and_o always_o in_o pursuance_n of_o legal_a obligation_n seal_v and_o deliver_v the_o manner_n whereof_o be_v brief_o this_o they_o agree_v with_o all_o their_o factor_n and_o servant_n and_o also_o with_o master_n of_o ship_n before_o they_o entertain_v they_o into_o their_o service_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o carry_v or_o bring_v home_o prohibit_v

subduct_v out_o of_o the_o freight_n which_o in_o effect_n be_v from_o themselves_o for_o most_o of_o the_o owner_n of_o the_o ship_n employ_v by_o the_o company_n be_v east-india_n adventure_n which_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n be_v a_o part-owner_n myself_o of_o a_o considerable_a number_n of_o ship_n employ_v by_o they_o and_o yet_o to_o do_v the_o company_n right_a i_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o ship_n employ_v by_o they_o such_o deduction_n notwithstanding_o make_v better_a voyage_n and_o gain_v more_o mone●jeor_n their_o owner_n than_o any_o ship_n whatsoever_o that_o sail_n out_o of_o england_n and_o the_o commander_n and_o officer_n of_o such_o ship_n general_o grow_v much_o rich_a in_o a_o short_a time_n than_o any_o other_o of_o any_o trade_n or_o

have_v none_o they_o usual_o ask_v the_o party_n whether_o he_o have_v not_o a_o father_n mother_n or_o other_o relation_n so_o that_o they_o invent_v way_n to_o favour_v he_o above_o the_o company_n
