A54635	Britannia languens: or, A discourse of trade shewing, that the present management of trade in England, is the true reason of the decay of our manufactures, and the late great fall of land-rents; and that the increase of trade, in the method it now stands in, must proportionably decay England. Wherein is particularly demonstrated, that the East-India Company, as now managed, has already near destroyed our trade in those parts, as well as that with Turky, and in short time must necessarily beggar the nation. Humbly offered to the consideration of this present Parliament.	Petyt, William, 1636-1707.	1689 (1689)	Wing P1947; ESTC R218978	144,323	343

the_o country_n turkey_n etc._n etc._n that_o we_o yearly_o export_v great_a quantity_n of_o treasure_n to_o those_o and_o other_o country_n and_o that_o we_o do_v not_o stick_v at_o coin_v money_n

be_v high_o credible_a that_o we_o have_v export_v much_o more_o money_n yearly_a than_o we_o have_v coin_v but_o to_o make_v the_o overbalance_n yet_o more_o evident_a it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o find_v out_o if_o possible_a what_o be_v the_o yearly_a treasure_n the_o nation_n gain_v by_o foreign_a trade_n at_o any_o time_n in_o this_o last_o age_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n how_o

be_v re-exported_n and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o superad_v to_o the_o national_a home-treasure_n now_o if_o we_o look_v back_o to_o the_o account_n from_o the_o mint_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o during_o those_o 76_o year_n our_o trade_n do_v never_o add_v more_o to_o our_o coin_n yearly_o than_o 407027_o l._n 9_o s._n 1_o d._n ½_o for_o any_o number_n of_o 20_o year_n together_o this_o be_v

yet_o add_v less_o to_o our_o coin_v money_n viz._n in_o case_n our_o foreign_a trade_n do_v then_o export_v any_o of_o our_o coin_v money_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o any_o other_o of_o the_o
