of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o most_o man_n that_o this_o indian_a and_o african_a company_n will_v do_v the_o nation_n very_o much_o good_a or_o very_o much_o hurt_v some_o express_v it_o that_o scotland_n must_v either_o be_v happy_a or_o very_a unhappy_a by_o the_o success_n thereof_o it_o be_v indeed_o hard_a to_o tell_v the_o event_n of_o thing_n in_o most_o case_n but_o in_o this_o a_o man_n but_o of_o common_a understanding_n may_v give_v a_o shrewd_a guest_n when_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o great_a afair_n be_v to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o upon_o the_o plain_a

discourse_n concern_v the_o indian_a and_o african_a company_n and_o the_o bank_n of_o scotland_n that_o trade_n and_o commerce_n be_v a_o advantage_n to_o a_o kingdom_n or_o commonwealth_n be_v so_o obvious_a to_o every_o understand_a man_n that_o there_o need_v no_o argument_n to_o prove_v it_o the_o riches_n or_o poverty_n of_o all_o place_n be_v usual_o measure_v by_o the_o increase_n or_o decrease_v thereof_o i_o shall_v consider_v it_o and_o but_o very_o brief_o under_o these_o two_o general_a head_n first_o the_o trade_n that_o each_o kingdom_n or_o country_n have_v within_o itself_o this_o we_o may_v call_v inland_n or_o home-trade_n the_o other_o be_v the_o trade_n that_o one_o kingdom_n or_o country_n have_v with_o other_o kingdom_n or_o country_n this_o be_v foreign_a trade_n the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v more_o or_o less_o in_o every_o nation_n nay_o in_o every_o city_n and_o town_n and_o in_o those_o country_n which_o produce_v what_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o support_n and_o conveniency_n of_o its_o inhabitant_n a_o people_n even_o with_o this_o home-trade_n may_v be_v happy_a the_o foreign_a trade_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n one_o be_v the_o trade_n that_o we_o have_v with_o other_o country_n for_o what_o we_o consume_v immediate_o ourselves_o without_o transport_v what_o we_o bring_v from_o those_o place_n to_o other_o different_a country_n this_o trade_n be_v profitable_a or_o prejudicial_a according_a to_o the_o value_n of_o what_o be_v send_v out_o and_o bring_v home_o for_o it_o be_v advantageous_a if_o the_o effect_n export_v will_v sell_v where_o we_o carry_v they_o for_o more_o than_o will_v pay_v for_o the_o good_n import_v whereby_o the_o remainder_n must_v be_v return_v in_o money_n and_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a and_o a_o loss_v trade_n if_o what_o we_o import_n cost_v more_o than_o what_o we_o send_v out_o whereby_o we_o must_v supply_v the_o balance_n with_o money_n so_o that_o this_o foreign_a trade_n in_o the_o one_o case_n be_v advantageous_a but_o in_o the_o other_o will_v impoverish_v and_o if_o this_o be_v consider_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o drive_v a_o foreign_a trade_n and_o a_o great_a trad._n but_o to_o drive_v a_o foreign_a trade_n profitable_o that_o deserve_v encouragement_n otherways_o we_o may_v be_v great_a losser_n thereby_o the_o other_o sort_n of_o foreign_a trade_n be_v when_o what_o we_o import_n from_o other_o country_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o part_n be_v send_v out_o again_o to_o other_o different_a place_n this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v
