of_o the_o joint-stock_n as_o any_o one_o may_v do_v who_o be_v master_n of_o money_n the_o stock_n of_o the_o turkey_n company_n be_v as_o large_a as_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o many_o trader_n be_v

hundred_o and_o sixty_o thousand_o pound_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o owe_v above_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n at_o interest_n but_o in_o case_n any_o misfortune_n happen_v to_o what_o danger_n will_v all_o the_o lender_n of_n so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v expose_v when_o the_o flourish_a estate_n of_o particular_a man_n can_v be_v

against_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n and_o reason_n secure_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o trade_n and_o yet_o have_v little_a share_n in_o the_o hazard_n and_o loss_n thereof_o upon_o

will_v be_v gracious_o please_v to_o permit_v to_o the_o turkey_n company_n the_o exercise_n of_o trade_n in_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o all_o other_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o grand_a signior_n according_a to_o the_o large_a extent_n of_o their_o charter_n and_o access_n thereunto_o by_o the_o most_o convenient_a passage_n and_o to_o forbid_v the_o east-india_n company_n to_o import_v raw_a or_o wrought_v silk_n into_o england_n and_o if_o this_o do_v not_o seem_v a_o reasonable_a expedient_a that_o then_o his_o majesty_n will_v be_v please_v to_o allot_v and_o limit_v a_o time_n to_o

of_o magellan_n which_o be_v near_o two_o three_o part_n of_o the_o trade_n world_n with_o the_o smallness_n of_o their_o stock_n and_o by_o such_o comparison_n it_o must_v needs_o appear_v their_o

trade_v not_o thither_o themselves_o they_o violent_o keep_v out_o other_o who_o will_v trade_n for_o their_o stock_n be_v so_o small_a they_o only_o manage_v such_o trade_n which_o yield_v very_o great_a and_o excessive_a profit_n and_o neglect_v other_o which_o probable_o may_v answer_v though_o not_o so_o immense_a a_o profit_n yet_o a_o very_a good_a advantage_n and_o more_o proportionable_a to_o the_o time_n and_o hazard_n than_o any_o trade_n in_o europe_n which_o place_n if_o trade_v to_o will_v not_o only_o carry_v off_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o our_o english_a

thereby_o will_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n supply_v if_o not_o total_o prevent_v the_o exportation_n of_o bullion_n out_o of_o england_n 9_o another_o evidence_n that_o their_o stock_n be_v too_o

nation_n for_o while_o they_o borrow_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o kingdom_n at_o so_o low_a a_o interest_n as_o 3_o per_fw-la cent._n they_o enrich_v themselves_o by_o the_o common_a hazard_n and_o divide_v and_o share_v what_o they_o please_v not_o only_o out_o of_o the_o profit_n but_o out_o of_o the_o principal_n itself_o the_o last_o year_n divide_v two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o thousand_o pound_n when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o owe_v six_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n at_o interest_n so_o that_o the_o lender_n clear_o venture_v the_o hazard_n of_o their_o principal_n to_o sea_n for_o 3_o per_fw-la cent._n while_o the_o company_n make_v 50_o per_fw-la cent._n of_o it_o without_o any_o hazard_n at_o all_o and_o if_o any_o loss_n shall_v

the_o east-india-companys_a answer_n to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n of_o his_o majesty_n most_o honourable_a privy_a council_n may_v it_o please_v your_o lordship_n in_o obedience_n to_o

no_o more_o credit_n to_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n than_o to_o ourselves_o but_o that_o the_o entry_n at_o his_o majesty_n customhouse_n may_v be_v the_o measure_n 2._o we_o must_v say_v which_o we_o

this_o last_o three_o year_n do_v not_o exceed_v 19000_o clothes_n or_o thereabouts_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la a_o great_a quantity_n than_o which_o in_o value_n at_o least_o the_o east-india_n company_n may_v probable_o ship_v out_o this_o year_n if_o their_o factory_a at_o amoy_n in_o china_n be_v not_o surprise_v by_o the_o tartar_n of_o which_o there_o be_v a_o doubtful_a report_n in_o india_n when_o the_o last_o ship_n come_v from_o bantam_n and_o within_o seven_o year_n if_o the_o company_n be_v not_o obstruct_v they_o may_v export_v more_o cloth_n yearly_a than_o ever_o the_o turkey_n

most_o of_o the_o european_a language_n and_o so_o many_o consultation_n and_o debate_n in_o the_o great_a council_n of_o europe_n concern_v joynt-stock_n for_o the_o east-india_n trade_n within_o these_o two_o or_o three_o last_o age_n and_o in_o all_o of_o they_o the_o result_n have_v be_v for_o a_o joint-stock_n that_o we_o think_v it_o will_v be_v impertinent_a to_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o any_o long_a discourse_n concern_v it_o but_o brief_o 1._o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o reasonable_a man_n but_o that_o a_o joint-stock_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o far_o great_a extension_n as_o to_o the_o number_n of_o trader_n and_o largeness_n of_o stock_n than_o any_o regulate_v company_n whatsoever_o because_o in_o a_o joint-stock_n nobleman_n gentleman_n shopkeeper_n widow_n and_o orphan_n all_o the_o king_n subject_n of_o any_o profession_n or_o degree_n may_v be_v trader_n and_o employ_v their_o stock_n whereas_o in_o a_o regulate_v company_n such_o as_o the_o

past_a 3._o though_o some_o few_o man_n have_v great_a adventure_n in_o the_o present_a east-india-stock_n the_o number_n of_o all_o the_o adventurer_n be_v now_o above_o six_o hundred_o person_n very_o many_o new_a one_o have_v come_v in_o of_o late_a 4._o as_o to_o the_o indulge_v trade_n which_o all_o adventurer_n by_o the_o present_a rule_n of_o the_o company_n have_v liberty_n to_o
