A32827	A discourse about trade wherein the reduction of interest in money to 4 l. per centum, is recommended : methods for the employment and maintenance of the poor are proposed : several weighty points relating to companies of merchants, the act of navigation, naturalization of strangers, our woollen manufactures, the ballance of trade, and the nature of plantations, and their consequences in relation to the kingdom are seriously discussed : and some arguments for erecting a court of merchants for determining controversies, relating to maritime affairs, and for a law for transferrance of bills of debts, are humbly offered.	Child, Josiah, Sir, 1630-1699.; Culpeper, Thomas, Sir, 1578-1662. Small treatise against usury.	1690 (1690)	Wing C3853; ESTC R8738	119,342	350

the_o dutch_a with_o who_o we_o principal_o contend_v in_o trade_n give_v general_o more_o wage_n to_o all_o their_o manufacturer_n by_o at_o least_o two_o penny_n in_o the_o shilling_n than_o the_o english_a 2_o dly_z wherever_o wage_n be_v high_a universal_o throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o be_v a_o infallible_a evidence_n of_o the_o riches_n of_o that_o country_n and_o wherever_o wage_n for_o labour_n run_v low_a it_o be_v a_o proof_n of_o the_o poverty_n of_o that_o place_n 3_o dly_z it_o be_v multitude_n of_o people_n and_o good_a law_n such_o as_o cause_v a_o increase_n of_o people_n which_o principal_o enrich_v any_o country_n and_o if_o we_o retrench_v by_o law_n the_o labour_n of_o our_o people_n we_o drive_v they_o from_o we_o to_o other_o country_n that_o give_v

and_o without_o compulsitory_a law_n it_o be_v true_a our_o great_a great_a grandfather_n do_v exercise_v such_o a_o policy_n of_o endeavour_v to_o retrench_v the_o price_n of_o labour_n by_o a_o

and_o the_o late_a great_a land-tax_n more_o may_v be_v say_v but_o the_o premise_n be_v consider_v i_o judge_v will_v sufficient_o demonstrate_v how_o great_o this_o kingdom_n of_o england_n have_v be_v advance_v in_o all_o respect_n for_o these_o last_o fifty_o year_n and_o that_o the_o abatement_n of_o interest_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o to_o i_o seem_v most_o probable_a because_o as_o it_o appear_v it_o have_v be_v in_o england_n so_o i_o find_v it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o all_o europe_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n insomuch_o that_o to_o know_v whether_o any_o

near_o home_o we_o see_v it_o evident_o in_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n where_o ten_o and_o twelve_o per_fw-la cent_z be_v pay_v for_o interest_n the_o people_n be_v poor_a and_o despicable_a their_o

and_o the_o gentry_n who_o may_v possess_v land_n live_v in_o good_a condition_n though_o the_o peasant_n be_v little_o better_o than_o slave_n because_o they_o can_v possess_v nothing_o but_o at_o
