a_o treatise_n divide_v into_o three_o part_n touch_v the_o inconvenience_n that_o the_o importation_n of_o tobacco_n out_o of_o spain_n have_v bring_v into_o this_o land_n viz._n 1_o in_o the_o first_o be_v show_v how_o treasure_n be_v usual_o bring_v into_o this_o land_n 2_o in_o the_o second_o what_o have_v and_o do_v hinder_v the_o bring_n of_o it_o with_o other_o incovenience_n 3_o in_o the_o three_o how_o to_o remedy_v the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o the_o chief_a spring_n from_o whence_o the_o main_n current_n of_o treasure_n flow_v into_o all_o christendom_n have_v his_o original_n be_v in_o the_o indies_n and_o by_o the_o spanish_a government_n be_v force_v to_o set_v first_o into_o spain_n and_o thence_o be_v divide_v into_o all_o other_o country_n according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o good_n which_o out_o of_o their_o abundance_n they_o furnish_v to_o supply_v their_o want_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o commodity_n of_o this_o land_n be_v the_o mine_n from_o whench_n treasure_n be_v draw_v into_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o mean_n from_o whench_n we_o usual_o draw_v it_o from_o spain_n be_v these_o first_o our_o good_n be_v convert_v into_o money_n we_o provide_v so_o many_o necessary_a commodity_n of_o that_o land_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o bring_v home_o in_o

especial_a cause_n to_o have_v hinder_v it_o but_o what_o have_v stop_v the_o entrance_n of_o it_o i_o will_v discover_v the_o main_a decay_n of_o trade_n and_o the_o chief_a cause_n that_o hinder_v the_o importation_n of_o bullion_n out_o of_o spain_n be_v tobacco_n for_o there_o be_v consume_v by_o all_o computation_n yearly_a in_o this_o land_n three_o hundred_o thousand_o weight_n and_o i_o

three_o at_o ii.s.vi.d._n for_o near_a about_o these_o prize_n they_o cost_v and_o almost_o twelve_o penny_n the_o pound_n for_o the_o custom_n there_o which_o be_v v_o shilling_n per_fw-la pound_n but_o to_o speak_v with_o the_o least_o i_o will_v say_v iiii_o shilling_n per_fw-la pound_n so_o than_o it_o do_v cost_v there_o first_o penny_n sxtie_n thousand_o pound_n and_o the_o disorderly_a

what_o be_v lose_v yearly_a amount_v to_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n all_o which_o will_v be_v bring_v into_o this_o kingdom_n if_o that_o be_v not_o but_o who_o will_v hazard_v to_o send_v home_o silver_n now_o when_o he_o may_v put_v it_o of_o by_o exchange_n thereto_o the_o tobacconist_n at_o as_o much_o profit_n as_o it_o be_v worth_a here_o at_o the_o mint_n for_o so_o i_o have_v

outward_a as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v when_o little_a tobacco_n come_v out_o of_o spain_n and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o our_o return_n will_v be_v in_o bullion_n for_o on_o that_o we_o get_v 12._o per_fw-la cent._n and_o on_o no_o other_o commodity_n tobacco_n accept_v be_v any_o man_n certain_a to_o get_v so_o much_o then_o who_o will_v not_o rather_o bring_v home_o ready_a money_n than_o good_n for_o which_o he_o be_v uncertain_a when_o to_o have_v money_n this_o be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o french_a and_o dutchman_n which_o make_v their_o country_n so_o abundant_a in_o silver_n

as_o i_o think_v to_o conclude_v this_o then_o say_v our_o king_n majesty_n receive_v sixteen_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o the_o patent_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o say_v he_o get_v

have_v keep_v back_o near_o twelve_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n or_o at_o least_o a_o million_o since_o his_o majesty_n reign_n which_o be_v it_o in_o the_o land_n what_o inestimable_a benefit_n will_v it_o bring_v yearly_a to_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n by_o increase_n of_o trade_n who_o can_v right_o imagine_v for_o money_n be_v the_o soul_n and_o sinew_n of_o trade_n and_o a_o well_o govern_v trade_n the_o true_a fountain_n of_o treasure_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o the_o good_a it_o have_v do_v to_o spain_n nor_o the_o prejudice_n it_o have_v bring_v to_o

since_o the_o year_n 98._o to_o inhabit_v the_o territory_n of_o caracoes_n cumana_n cumanagotta_fw-it trinidado_n oronoque_n &_o now_o at_o least_o all_o maracaibo_n for_o in_o those_o day_n i_o be_v a_o eye_n witness_n to_o it_o their_o people_n go_v thither_o more_o unwilling_a than_o we_o now_o go_v to_o virginia_n and_o the_o summer_n land_n yet_o the_o king_n give_v they_o leave_v to_o

ere_o he_o obtain_v it_o so_o sudden_a do_v the_o gain_n by_o bring_v tobacco_n draw_v so_o many_o thither_o and_o although_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a hope_n that_o draw_v they_o thither_o yet_o now_o they_o bring_v not_o tobacco_n only_o but_o many_o other_o beneficial_a and_o necessary_a commodity_n as_o ginger_n hides_n sugar_n sarsaparilla_n balsam_n peeta_n carava_n gum_n allome_n and_o

more_o then_o former_o mention_v be_v that_o it_o have_v altogether_o hinder_v that_o plantation_n in_o virginia_n which_o in_o short_a time_n may_v yield_v his_o majesty_n as_o much_o or_o more_o

sudden_o to_o inhabit_v virginia_n and_o to_o draw_v from_o thence_o great_a benefit_n into_o this_o land_n be_v nothing_o but_o prohibit_v the_o bring_n in_o of_o spanish_a tobacco_n and_o suffer_v
