reason_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o parliament_n why_o stockfish_n and_o live_v eel_n shall_v be_v import_v into_o england_n notwithstanding_o the_o same_o be_v at_o present_a prohibit_v by_o the_o act_n which_o prohibit_v the_o importation_n of_o irish_a cattle_n and_o foreign_a fish_n first_o the_o say_a codfish_n alias_o stockfish_n be_v catch_v and_o cure_a in_o iseland_n which_o be_v in_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n dominion_n and_o no_o where_o else_o and_o be_v cure_a without_o salt_n by_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o air_n and_o frost_n only_o which_o fish_n be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o all_o our_o ship_n trade_v to_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n guinney_n and_o other_o part_n where_o no_o other_o s_o ort_n of_o fish_n will_v keep_v good_a but_o decay_n second_o the_o say_a stockfish_n be_v never_o make_v use_n of_o in_o any_o other_o place_n then_o where_o our_o own_o fish_n will_v never_o keep_v or_o hold_v good_a so_o that_o there_o be_v never_o the_o less_o of_o our_o english_a fish_n spend_v by_o the_o stockfish_n import_v into_o the_o kingdom_n in_o as_o much_o as_o no_o person_n will_v eat_v that_o if_o they_o can_v get_v our_o english_a cod_n or_o ling._n three_o this_o sort_n of_o fish_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o our_o seaman_n and_o be_v observe_v and_o allow_v to_o have_v be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o benefit_n to_o they_o by_o preserve_v they_o in_o their_o long_a voyage_n from_o the_o scurvy_a which_o they_o be_v subject_a unto_o by_o reason_n that_o all_o other_o of_o their_o provision_n be_v extreme_o salt_n so_o that_o divers_a commander_n have_v affirm_v that_o for_o want_v of_o that_o sort_n of_o fish_n two_o three_o of_o their_o man_n have_v in_o some_o voyage_n fall_v down_o with_o the_o scurvy_a to_o that_o degree_n that_o they_o have_v hardly_o have_v man_n enough_o on_o board_n able_a to_o stand_v on_o their_o leg_n for_o manage_v their_o sail_n four_o if_o our_o ship_n can_v be_v furnish_v with_o stockfish_n here_o they_o will_v have_v it_o from_o other_o part_n beyond_o the_o sea_n holland_n or_o some_o other_o place_n and_o therefore_o better_a for_o the_o english_a to_o import_n it_o than_o foreigner_n as_o for_o the_o live_v eel_n prohibit_v in_o the_o same_o act_n they_o be_v take_v at_o or_o near_o copenhagen_n within_o the_o say_a kingdom_n of_o denmark_n and_o bring_v to_o london_n market_n first_o the_o say_a eel_n be_v take_v in_o fresh_a water_n within_o the_o land_n and_o be_v of_o the_o natural_a growth_n of_o that_o country_n and_o therefore_o no_o way_n prejudicial_a to_o the_o fishery_n of_o this_o kingdom_n second_o that_o the_o trade_n of_o bring_v live_v eel_n from_o denmark_n to_o london_n market_n be_v but_o for_o one_o voyage_n in_o the_o year_n which_o time_n be_v about_o michaelmass_n and_o that_o but_o only_o for_o two_o ship_n or_o hoy_n which_o be_v build_v on_o purpose_n for_o that_o trade_n three_o that_o former_o as_o ancient_a man_n affirm_v there_o have_v be_v fourteen_o ship_n or_o hoy_n at_o one_o time_n in_o the_o river_n of_o thames_n all_o foreigner_n all_o which_o eel_n be_v sell_v in_o london_n market_n although_o the_o number_n of_o people_n then_o inhabit_v in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n not_o half_o so_o many_o as_o now_o which_o place_n where_o those_o ship_n or_o hoy_n be_v lade_v be_v since_o drain_v and_o great_a town_n build_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o four_o that_o our_o fen_n in_o england_n be_v now_o drain_v also_o there_o be_v not_o the_o hundred_o part_n sufficient_a take_v in_o england_n to_o supply_v the_o kingdom_n and_o whereas_o there_o can_v be_v but_o two_o ship_n employ_v upon_o that_o trade_n if_o there_o be_v lade_n to_o be_v have_v for_o more_o than_o twenty_o they_o will_v be_v all_o sell_v in_o london_n market_n five_o that_o the_o aforesaid_a trade_n of_o bring_v live_a eel_n into_o london_n market_n have_v be_v practise_v time_n out_o of_o mind_n as_o will_v appear_v by_o all_o the_o ancient_a map_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n where_o you_o will_v find_v the_o eel-ship_n always_o figure_v out_o in_o the_o river_n of_o thames_n lie_v at_o anchor_n over_o against_o queenhithe_n six_o that_o the_o say_v live_v eel_n be_v esteem_v as_o in_o truth_n they_o be_v most_o excellent_a food_n the_o price_n be_v set_v by_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n mayor_n of_o london_n be_v buy_v and_o sell_v at_o very_o reasonable_a rate_n seven_o that_o the_o say_a trade_n have_v heretofore_o be_v manage_v by_o dutchmen_n who_o sail_v from_o holland_n to_o denmark_n and_o buy_v they_o there_o and_o bring_v they_o to_o london_n market_n but_o be_v now_o sole_o manage_v by_o the_o english_a who_o be_v fishmonger_n in_o london_n no_o foreigner_n be_v concern_v with_o they_o eight_o that_o the_o aforesaid_a stockfish_n and_o eel_n be_v the_o return_v and_o effect_n of_o our_o own_o manufactory_n and_o growth_n of_o

wherefore_o it_o be_v most_o humble_o pray_v that_o the_o say_a stockfish_n and_o live_v eel_n may_v be_v import_v notwithstanding_o the_o prohibition_n aforesaid_a or_o any_o new_a act_n that_o
