and_o three_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o return_n which_o this_o company_n import_v into_o england_n from_o that_o part_n of_o africa_n wherein_o they_o trade_n i_o be_o not_o sure_a of_o the_o

the_o wisdom_n of_o parliament_n whether_o this_o exaction_n by_o this_o company_n be_v not_o the_o ruin_n of_o many_o multitude_n of_o poor_a english_a artificer_n and_o give_v the_o employment_n in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o navigation_n to_o africa_n with_o these_o to_o the_o dutch_a and_o other_o nation_n i_o be_o assure_v that_o this_o company_n and_o the_o parliament_n may_v inquire_v

elephant_n tooth_n and_o bees-wax_n i_o say_v nothing_o of_o bees-wax_n but_o i_o say_v the_o company_n raise_v the_o price_n of_o elephant_n tooth_n so_o high_a that_o the_o dutch_a can_v bring_v

this_o be_v not_o a_o grievous_a tyranny_n of_o this_o company_n over_o multitude_n of_o poor_a artisicer_n in_o ivory_n be_v submit_v to_o judgement_n yet_o this_o as_o well_o as_o the_o east_n india_n company_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o petition_v the_o parliament_n to_o have_v this_o abominable_a tyranny_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o fellow_n subject_n to_o be_v establish_v by_o a_o law_n as_o these_o two_o company_n be_v simeon_n and_o levi_n in_o their_o wickedness_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o fellow_n subject_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o dominion_n so_o be_v their_o pretence_n the_o same_o for_o their_o so_o do_v viz._n first_o that_o these_o trade_n can_v be_v manage_v but_o by_o a_o joint_a stock_n to_o the_o exclude_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n which_o be_v a_o lie_n diametrical_o to_o their_o practice_n for_o then_o interloper_n can_v not_o trade_n in_o either_o which_o above_o all_o other_o they_o persecute_v by_o seize_v their_o ship_n and_o cargo_n and_o imprison_v their_o person_n and_o it_o be_v well_o they_o escape_v so_o the_o second_o be_v that_o they_o be_v at_o great_a charge_n in_o erect_v fort_n for_o secure_v these_o trade_n if_o they_o have_v any_o such_o fort_n as_o the_o east_n india_n the_o fort_n of_o st._n george_n and_o another_o at_o bombay_n for_o which_o they_o pay_v ten_o pound_n a_o year_n to_o

the_o company_n be_v this_o a_o reason_n that_o no_o english_a but_o themselves_o shall_v trade_n to_o near_o half_a the_o know_v world_n the_o zealander_n have_v build_v a_o fort_n in_o the_o
