Maiestie conceived that their labours had beene published by my pen wherein as I must acknowledge the vnworthinesse of my person to receiue such guests vnder my roofe and the vnfitnesse of my pen to represent such pieces so also had I not the happines to attend Those then or These since in any of their assemblies as did other Merchants whereby my discourse might haue receiued some life and force from their worth and influence Their good acceptation of my poore endeauours together with the approbation of many other Noble and learned graue and iudicious is more then I could haue hoped to merit which wil abundantly support me and it against the Malignitie of one Malynes onely amongst thousands of better instructed and affected persons Whose palate being fallen is become so farre out of taste that he can relish no meats not cook't by himself and his owne cookerie hath in it so much of his Coliquintida his stirre about his Par that it hath spoiled all his pot of porrage Himself his subiect much more his rude stile and vnmannerly manner of writing deserue contempt rather then the honour of an answer But for some Gentlemens sakes of qualitie to whom I owe my selfe who doe professe they know not in many things what the man meaneth for when he that writeth vnstandeth not what he sayes how shall he that readeth For their sa●es I say not for his I am I know not how enclos'd within this Circle through the Center whereof I will draw a Diameter and diuide the whole Circle into two Semicircles In the first I will consider whether Malynes obiections scattered here and there in his little Fish and great Whale against my Tract of Free Trade may haue any place within the Peripheria or circumference of this Circle which if you please may also be the first part or draught of this Ballance of Trade In the other Semicircle I will demonstrate the nature and vse of Exchanges in generall and therein the Ballance of the Trade of this Kingdome with forraine Countries which also may bee the second part or draught of this Ballance of Trade But before I begin with either I am discomforted in both Because I am led within the lists to deale with a dastardly Combatant of whom Martiall could tell me long agoe that I might expect conquest but no contentment Seu victus seu victor eris maculere necesse est Martiall Si sit cum vili stercore pugnatibi Nor flight nor fight will bring thee but disgrace If that thou fight with one that 's vile and base Nor can there be any delight to those that are lookers on for Malynes received my Modell in some forme but returned it to mee pull'd in pieces all out of frame You know I considered Trade as it is Deformed as it might be Reformed Trade Deformed I considered in the Causes in the Effects In the Causes the Matter and Forme of Trade The Matter I shewed to be either Naturall or Artificiall The Forme occurred in Gouerned or Vngouerned trade The Effects reflected on the King the Kingdome Trade Reformed I presented in the Remedies to euery maladie a medicable remedie and these I pursued every one in their order But now these Rankes are broken this order's disordered nor Right nor Left hand file is left nor Front nor Rere Now I must follow my Leader whether you finde Posture or Imposture in his order t' is his not mine I shall therefore in this my Semicirculary Angle or first Draught of my Ballance first display Malynes Colours and then pursue his Postures in his owne Disorder His Colours are set vp in his Title thus The maintenance of free Trade according to the three Essentiall parts of Trafique namely Commodities Monies and Exchange of monies by bils of Exchange for other Countries THE FIRST PART Malynes obiections refuted WHat hope can we haue of this mans Treatise Section 1. when hee failes in his Title The Causes of things are wont to bee considered in the Efficient Matter the Forme and the End Some say these causes are either External or Internall Externall as the Efficient and End Internall as the Matter and Forme All agree in this that these two to wit the Matter and Forme of things doe constitute their Essence There is no place in the Essence of things for any third thing Commodities and mony are the Matter of trade the manner of buying and selling is the Forme of trade He that tradeth the Efficient gaine the End of trade So that the Matter and Forme of trade are the Essentiall parts of trade But if Malynes would make Exchanging of monies to be a kinde of buy-and selling and consequently to fall within the Forme of trade or as it is a merchandise to be the Matter of trade yet here 's no third thing to approue his Title Yea but Malynes will haue you take the Head of this his little fish and the fin or tayle of his great Whale and put them both together and then he will giue you an answer past peraduenture Will you heare what he sayes Great Whale Page 500. Concerning the beeing essence or Existence of things he wil make no difference betweene naturall things and things artificiall and so there is but two essentiall parts of Materia Forma albeit that some Philosophers haue established three beginnings of Naturall things Matter Forme and Deprivation The Matter hath no other office or function but the changing from one forme into another Deprivation giving an inclination thereunto for deprivation is an Imperfection so conioyned to the matter that without her if shee were separated nothing would bee ingendered and therefore in Heaven there is no Deprivation and consequently no generation ne corruption The Forme therefore giveth perfection to the thing and beeing also and without her the Matter is more imperfect then the eye is without the faculty of seeing or the eares without hearing But in Artificials the beeing hath her parts as Trafique hath three namely Commodities Money and Exchange so other things may consist of more beeings or simples wherein the termes of Art are not excluded COntra principia negantem minimè disputandum §. 2. It is against Art to dispute with a man that denyeth the Principles of Art This sentence sheweth Malynes grosse ignorance not to haue learn't to distinguish the Principles of naturall things from their Essence Wherein first he would make a difference betweene the Essence or beeing of things Naturall and things Artificiall And next he confoundeth the Principles of Phisicall or Naturall things with their Essence as if they were all one For although some Philosophers say that Matter Forme and Privation are the Principles of Naturall things yet what is that to their Essence Therefore to take off this Pterygium or thicke skin from Malynes eyes we will first consider the Essence of things and then their Principles For the Former of these there was never any Philosopher Heathen or Christian nor
