without_o the_o assistance_n of_o foreign_a trade_n as_o will_v be_v show_v but_o first_o upon_o the_o former_a ground_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o a_o foreign_a trade_n if_o manage_v to_o the_o best_a

or_o less_o as_o the_o commodity_n so_o sell_v be_v of_o great_a or_o lesser_a quantity_n and_o value_n but_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o if_o the_o native_n have_v export_v the_o same_o

of_o our_o trade_n now_o be_v for_o the_o reason_n follow_v first_o i_o shall_v admit_v that_o the_o export_n of_o treasure_n in_o the_o trade_n from_o port_n to_o port_n may_v increase_v treasure_n provide_v that_o the_o merchant_n make_v wise_a bargain_n and_o his_o ship_n return_v safe_a neither_o of_o which_o be_v altogether_o certain_a but_o suppose_v the_o merchant_n be_v both_o so_o wise_a and_o fortunate_a yet_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o in_o this_o way_n of_o trade_n the_o merchant_n can_v bring_v more_o new_a treasure_n to_o the_o nation_n than_o the_o merchant_n by_o his_o

to_o the_o full_a value_n of_o the_o manufacture_n or_o commodity_n export_v since_o the_o manufacture_n or_o home_n commodity_n sell_v will_v final_o resolve_v into_o treasure_n nay_o though_o the_o

suppose_v a_o dutch_a or_o english_a ship_n go_v with_o exported_a treasure_n to_o france_n where_o the_o merchant_n buy_v french_a wine_n for_o 1000_o l._n which_o afterward_o he_o carry_v into_o the_o sound_n and_o there_o sell_v it_o for_o 1300_o l._n the_o merchant_n have_v bring_v but_o 300_o l._n new_a treasure_n or_o credit_n to_o the_o nation_n but_o have_v the_o merchant_n export_v

1300_o l._n the_o nation_n must_v present_o have_v a_o new_a addition_n of_o treasure_n or_o credit_n for_o the_o whole_a 1300_o l._n in_o which_o last_o case_n the_o nation_n get_v a_o new_a 1000_o

1000_o l._n second_o in_o this_o last_o case_n great_a number_n of_o manufacturer_n fisher_n etc._n etc._n be_v keep_v and_o well_o maintain_v at_o home_o whereas_o the_o ordinary_a exportation_n of_o money_n must_v make_v they_o idle_a and_o useless_a whereof_o the_o further_a consequence_n be_v that_o the_o ordinary_a exportation_n of_o money_n must_v inevitable_o depopulate_v a_o nation_n if_o it_o be_v of_o any_o great_a extent_n of_o territory_n so_o must_v the_o exportation_n of_o bullion_n be_v attend_v with_o the_o same_o mischief_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o exportation_n of_o

expect_v to_o be_v tell_v that_o hamburgh_n and_o holland_n etc._n etc._n do_v allow_v of_o and_o use_v the_o exportation_n of_o treasure_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o

may_v be_v support_v with_o much_o few_o and_o lesser_a manufacture_n and_o home_n employment_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o export_n of_o treasure_n must_v be_v less_o dangerous_a and_o perhaps_o may_v be_v the_o more_o necessary_a there_o because_o by_o the_o fewness_n of_o people_n and_o consequential_a restraint_n of_o manufacture_n their_o merchant_n may_v be_v confine_v in_o the_o bulk_n and_o variety_n of_o home_n commodity_n to_o export_v if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o no_o nation_n can_v be_v so_o store_v with_o home_n commodity_n as_o to_o answer_v all_o foreign_a port_n and_o market_n and_o therefore_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sometime_o necessary_a to_o export_v treasure_n in_o every_o trade_n nation_n this_o perhaps_o may_v be_v true_a in_o some_o degree_n but_o this_o be_v another_o question_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o remain_v that_o it_o be_v most_o profitable_a to_o a_o nation_n to_o export_v home_o commodity_n where_o it_o may_v be_v do_v rather_o than_o money_n or_o bullion_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o merchant_n ought_v to_o be_v restrain_v from_o it_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a then_o as_o to_o the_o other_o question_n how_o far_o it_o may_v be_v necessary_a in_o a_o nation_n to_o export_v money_n in_o trade_n it_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o great_a or_o lesser_a improvement_n of_o the_o national_a trade_n for_o as_o a_o nation_n have_v a_o more_o universal_a manufacture_n and_o
fishery_n more_o drink_n fruit_n curiosity_n and_o delicacy_n of_o its_o own_o its_o merchant_n will_v be_v more_o and_o more_o enable_v to_o freight_v themselves_o outward_o with_o home_o commodity_n these_o mighty_a store_n of_o home_n commodity_n can_v only_o be_v have_v in_o great_a fertile_a and_o populous_a nation_n but_o suppose_v a_o nation_n be_v not_o or_o can_v be_v so_o full_o store_v with_o home_n commodity_n as_o to_o answer_v all_o foreign_a market_n yet_o its_o merchant_n first_o export_v home_o commodity_n to_o port_n where_o they_o be_v vendible_a may_v by_o a_o barter_n sale_n or_o exchange_n of_o these_o and_o a_o eternal_a succession_n of_o voyage_n and_o contract_n make_v the_o nation_n where_o they_o live_v a_o storehouse_n to_o perfection_n and_o will_v then_o have_v the_o choice_n of_o all_o merchandize_n on_o the_o earth_n to_o export_v and_o therefore_o may_v ordinary_o and_o beneficial_o trade_n to_o any_o foreign_a port_n without_o export_v treasure_n and_o if_o they_o may_v they_o will_v because_o else_o they_o will_v loose_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o market_n for_o the_o good_n they_o may_v export_v thus_o even_o the_o dutch_a original_o

liefeland_n and_o norway_n where_o by_o sell_v or_o barter_v of_o their_o own_o and_o foreign_a commodity_n they_o provide_v themselves_o with_o the_o material_n of_o pitch_n tar_n hemp_n and_o flax_n necessary_a for_o navigation_n and_o with_o timber_n and_o other_o commodity_n for_o their_o use_n at_o home_n and_o trade_n abroad_o whilst_o the_o same_o commodity_n cost_v the_o english_a some_o 100000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la since_o the_o decay_n of_o our_o cloth-trade_n into_o those_o port_n which_o kind_n of_o trade_n be_v doubtless_o advantageous_a to_o some_o merchant_n else_o they_o will_v not_o continue_v it_o but_o do_v help_v to_o drain_v the_o nation_n of_o its_o treasure_n i_o do_v not_o say_v they_o dutch_n never_o export_v treasure_n but_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o foreign_a storehouse_n they_o be_v under_o no_o such_o ordinary_a necessity_n to_o do_v it_o and_o in_o fact_n export_v little_a or_o none_o to_o many_o other_o country_n where_o the_o english_a trade_n with_o much_o whereof_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o say_v more_o i_o shall_v conclude_v that_o where_o the_o home_n and_o foreign_a trade_n of_o a_o great_a and_o populous_a nation_n be_v due_o regulate_v and_o sufficient_o improve_v there_o will_v be_v little_a necessity_n to_o export_v treasure_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v add_v that_o the_o export_n of_o treasure_n in_o a_o nation_n have_v ill_a method_n of_o trade_n must_v be_v yet_o more_o dangerous_a because_o it_o facilitate_v mere_a importation_n and_o in_o england_n be_v chief_o serviceable_a to_o it_o as_o will_v appear_v if_o a_o trade_n from_o port_n to_o port_n be_v improve_v to_o any_o great_a degree_n it_o must_v necessary_o very_o much_o increase_v the_o national_a treasure_n and_o number_n of_o

to_o 6000000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o so_o in_o any_o great_a or_o lesser_a proportion_n as_o the_o navigation_n or_o gain_n be_v great_a or_o less_o of_o which_o we_o have_v a_o plain_a example_n in_o the_o dutch_a who_o in_o about_o ninety_o year_n time_n have_v arrive_v to_o a_o wonderful_a wealth_n and_o strength_n by_o it_o though_o they_o have_v be_v always_o force_v to_o buy_v

from_o port_n to_o port_n will_v make_v better_a and_o more_o seaman_n enrich_v sea-town_n more_o and_o will_v employ_v very_o considerable_a number_n of_o people_n at_o land_n in_o building_n

see_v the_o town_n upon_o our_o opposite_a shore_n abound_v in_o riches_n and_o people_n whilst_o our_o own_o sea-town_n languish_v more_o and_o more_o and_o from_o hence_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o for_o the_o utmost_a advance_v of_o this_o trade_n it_o be_v necessary_a there_o shall_v be_v very_o much_o ship_n in_o a_o nation_n multitude_n of_o seaman_n great_a stock_n continual_o employ_v in_o

it_o will_v raise_v and_o hold_v up_o the_o value_n of_o land_n as_o experience_n have_v prove_v of_o late_a year_n but_o three_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o value_n of_o land_n can_v be_v much_o

the_o spanish_a don_n do_v once_o raise_v the_o prize_n of_o victual_n or_o suppose_v they_o shall_v do_v it_o now_o what_o weighty_a effect_n will_v it_o have_v unless_o to_o drive_v all_o the_o
