navigation_n bring_v it_o for_o demonstration_n and_o it_o be_v so_o that_o seaman_n have_v since_o raise_v their_o wage_n and_o that_o be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o trade_n now_o to_o make_v this_o matter_n clear_a to_o every_o understanding_n it_o may_v be_v needful_a to_o show_v that_o in_o this_o there_o be_v two_o handle_n both_o to_o be_v lay_v hold_v on_o in_o argument_n one_o be_v the_o profit_n of_o the_o merchant_n the_o other_o be_v that_o of_o the_o public_a and_o national_a interest_n the_o complaint_n lie_v thus_o before_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n merchant_n have_v seaman_n at_o easy_a and_o low_a wage_n this_o be_v their_o gain_n and_o the_o foreign_a seman_n profit_n who_o carry_v their_o wage_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o most_o common_o in_o money_n the_o act_n of_o navigation_n bar_v these_o foreign_a seaman_n from_o sail_v entire_o in_o our_o ship_n that_o be_v from_o be_v the_o whole_a crew_n for_o one_o four_o of_o foreign_a seaman_n the_o act_n allow_v which_o i_o think_v be_v the_o only_a mistake_n in_o that_o statute_n to_o give_v foreign_a seaman_n any_o room_n in_o our_o ship_n but_o thus_o it_o stand_v by_o exclude_v foreign_a seaman_n we_o have_v raise_v their_o wage_n and_o that_o be_v a_o loss_n to_o the_o merchant_n i_o mean_v it_o be_v say_v so_o but_o that_o be_v equal_o a_o mistake_n with_o the_o rest_n for_o merchant_n will_v rate_v their_o good_n according_a to_o their_o charge_n and_o it_o be_v the_o consumer_n not_o importer_n that_o pay_v it_o but_o allow_v the_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v say_v the_o merchant_n he_o get_v by_o have_v foreign_a seaman_n the_o nation_n get_v by_o employ_v our_o own_o seaman_n which_o of_o those_o be_v to_o be_v encourage_v i_o think_v can_v be_v no_o question_n among_o englishman_n i_o confess_v among_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o i_o have_v hear_v make_v use_n of_o this_o of_o seaman_n be_v most_o surprise_v because_o i_o always_o think_v it_o the_o great_a authority_n and_o invincible_a argument_n for_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n it_o show_v the_o necessity_n for_o a_o law_n to_o make_v seaman_n when_o you_o have_v not_o three_o fourth_n to_o sail_v your_o merchantman_n for_o as_o before_o be_v say_v the_o act_n allow_v of_o make_v use_n of_o one_o four_o foreigner_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v the_o merchant_n complain_v for_o want_v of_o more_o if_o these_o gentleman_n that_o be_v displease_v with_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n will_v but_o consider_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o all_o part_n of_o its_o trade_n and_o navigation_n i_o persuade_v myself_o they_o will_v be_v advocate_n on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o their_o discourse_n show_v they_o man_n of_o ingenuity_n and_o well-affected_a to_o their_o country_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o convince_v they_o by_o dint_n of_o word_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o despair_v of_o do_v it_o by_o lay_v before_o they_o the_o state_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o this_o particular_a when_o this_o act_n be_v and_o be_v first_o think_v on_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o rump-parliament_n thus_o as_o i_o find_v it_o by_o story_n and_o relation_n of_o some_o that_o be_v merchant_n and_o commander_n at_o sea_n in_o that_o time_n the_o rump-parliament_n quarrel_v with_o the_o dutch_a take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o make_v trade_n the_o chief_a pretence_n for_o it_o believe_v that_o will_v be_v popular_a and_o affect_v england_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v ground_n enough_o for_o quarrel_n in_o matter_n of_o trade_n the_o dutch_a grow_v very_o fast_o upon_o we_o all_o the_o reign_n of_o charles_n the_o first_o and_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n to_o say_v that_o we_o lose_v our_o trade_n into_o the_o sound_n and_o muscovy_n since_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n for_o it_o be_v steal_v from_o we_o the_o year_n 1634_o and_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n quite_o lose_v by_o the_o year_n 1652_o but_o that_o which_o most_o affect_v and_o give_v offence_n to_o the_o nation_n be_v the_o dutch_a have_v get_v such_o a_o trade_n to_o our_o plantation_n in_o the_o west-indies_n that_o we_o can_v scarce_o get_v so_o much_o sugar_n home_o as_o the_o nation_n consume_v they_o supply_v our_o plantation_n with_o wine_n and_o brandy_n linen_n and_o almost_o every_o thing_n they_o spend_v in_o the_o island_n this_o be_v so_o notorious_a the_o then_o government_n think_v upon_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n which_o have_v good_a effect_n in_o preserve_v that_o part_n of_o our_o trade_n and_o navigation_n that_o be_v leave_v and_o perhaps_o we_o owe_v at_o this_o day_n the_o preservation_n of_o these_o kingdom_n to_o it_o for_o that_o upon_o the_o restoration_n of_o charles_n the_o second_o have_v not_o this_o act_n lie_v in_o the_o way_n there_o may_v not_o have_v be_v such_o course_n take_v as_o there_o be_v in_o our_o trade_n and_o navigation_n the_o disposition_n of_o those_o time_n seem_v to_o tend_v another_o way_n for_o pleasure_n more_o than_o trade_n but_o this_o act_n stand_v as_o a_o centinel_n for_o the_o traffic_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o other_o thing_n i_o have_v now_o bring_v this_o act_n to_o the_o year_n 1660._o and_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n stand_v then_o upon_o the_o restoration_n of_o charles_n ii_o there_o be_v a_o set_a of_o people_n in_o trade_n that_o have_v be_v breed_v up_o in_o it_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o parliament_n and_o these_o man_n have_v the_o money_n as_o well_o as_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o their_o hand_n be_v at_o that_o time_n easy_o hear_v than_o they_o have_v be_v since_o they_o not_o know_v what_o force_n foreign_a money_n may_v have_v at_o court_n think_v themselves_o never_o safe_a until_o they_o get_v the_o act_n of_o navigation_n confirm_v and_o be_v early_o in_o their_o application_n they_o succeed_v to_o their_o own_o satisfaction_n with_o some_o advantage_n more_o than_o be_v in_o the_o former_a act._n for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o under_o oliver_n government_n the_o act_n of_o navigation_n have_v little_a force_n both_o the_o government_n and_o the_o merchant_n be_v willing_a to_o let_v it_o sleep_v for_o that_o during_o the_o war_n with_o spain_n to_o avoid_v their_o privateer_n which_o be_v so_o numerous_a that_o scarce_o a_o ship_n can_v stir_v without_o a_o convoy_n most_o of_o our_o trade_n be_v manage_v in_o dutch_a bottom_n they_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o spain_n this_o management_n have_v almost_o stifle_v the_o act_n of_o navigation_n and_o merchant_n find_v their_o present_a gain_n by_o the_o cheapness_n of_o dutch-sailing_a do_v not_o consider_v the_o future_a consequence_n immediate_a gain_n be_v what_o they_o mind_v but_o upon_o the_o restoration_n the_o same_o man_n that_o under_o the_o usurp_v government_n be_v content_a with_o the_o general_n scramble_v of_o the_o nation_n and_o to_o come_v in_o for_o a_o share_n be_v now_o for_o secure_v trade_n to_o posterity_n which_o they_o be_v careless_a of_o whilst_o they_o have_v no_o foundation_n of_o law_n or_o government_n i_o have_v be_v the_o large_a in_o this_o account_n because_o i_o find_v it_o general_o believe_v that_o this_o act_n of_o navigation_n be_v original_o bring_v forth_o in_o prejudice_n to_o the_o dutch_a and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n renew_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o charles_n the_o ii_o whereas_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v at_o first_o make_v with_o as_o much_o reason_n and_o necessity_n as_o our_o law_n against_o exportation_n of_o wool_n for_o neither_o that_o nor_o any_o thing_n else_o can_v with_o reason_n be_v think_v our_o own_o long_o than_o our_o ship_n and_o seaman_n have_v the_o guard_n of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o can_v have_v unless_o they_o have_v the_o carriage_n and_o if_o that_o be_v allow_v which_o i_o submit_v than_o the_o second_o objection_n against_o this_o act_n that_o it_o raise_v the_o wage_n of_o seaman_n will_v not_o be_v find_v material_a but_o rather_o be_v as_o indeed_o i_o think_v it_o the_o best_a argument_n that_o can_v be_v give_v for_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n if_o seaman_n be_v our_o guard_n as_o well_o as_o labourer_n and_o foreign_a seaman_n by_o their_o cheap_a sail_v have_v so_o beat_v out_o we_o that_o we_o have_v not_o ¾_n to_o sail_v our_o ship_n in_o time_n of_o peace_n sure_o it_o be_v time_n to_o consider_v of_o a_o way_n to_o increase_v and_o encourage_v our_o seaman_n the_o three_o objection_n make_v against_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n be_v that_o it_o hinder_v the_o building_n of_o ship_n this_o i_o confess_v will_v have_v weight_n in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v true_a which_o to_o i_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v no_o more_o than_o because_o i_o can_v get_v brown_a bread_n i_o will_v starve_v rather_o than_o
long-robe_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v no_o offence_n to_o wish_v they_o among_o we_o but_o not_o with_o their_o bar-gown_n they_o will_v in_o my_o opinion_n look_v better_o in_o a_o countinghouse_n than_o in_o the_o temple_n and_o have_v the_o humour_n of_o our_o ancestor_n run_v that_o way_n as_o much_o as_o it_o do_v for_o the_o law_n there_o may_v have_v be_v as_o great_a a_o enlargement_n in_o maritime_a traffic_n and_o navigation_n as_o there_o be_v now_o of_o the_o law_n i_o presume_v none_o will_v say_v that_o they_o begin_v with_o equal_a number_n trade_n have_v the_o primogeniture_n and_o set_v forth_o with_o the_o employment_n of_o the_o people_n before_o there_o can_v be_v work_n for_o lawyer_n and_o i_o believe_v those_o of_o best_a value_n among_o they_o do_v not_o think_v their_o growth_n and_o gain_n contribute_v to_o either_o in_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o nation_n though_o without_o the_o profession_n there_o can_v be_v no_o secure_v property_n but_o perhaps_o the_o number_n make_v more_o work_n than_o there_o will_v be_v if_o they_o be_v less_o hamburgh_n though_o a_o place_n of_o great_a trade_n allow_v but_o two_o and_o though_o our_o foreign_a plantation_n be_v fill_v with_o man_n of_o no_o better_a principle_n than_o they_o leave_v behind_o they_o yet_o they_o have_v few_o among_o they_o who_o raise_v their_o fortune_n by_o the_o law_n for_o which_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v but_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o foundation_n and_o nursery_n for_o that_o profession_n to_o breed_v up_o man_n of_o learning_n and_o ingenuity_n in_o i_o have_v be_v the_o long_o on_o this_o subject_a because_o there_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o expedient_a in_o this_o matter_n and_o that_o be_v to_o make_v such_o provision_n for_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n child_n as_o may_v be_v equal_o reputable_a with_o the_o inn_n of_o court_n for_o young_a gentleman_n to_o come_v to_o from_o the_o university_n and_o with_o less_o charge_n than_o their_o expense_n in_o seven_o year_n study_v the_o law_n become_v expert_a in_o trade_n to_o be_v thus_o manage_v in_o each_o maritime_a city_n and_o considerable_a port_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o have_v a_o college_n build_v in_o which_o there_o may_v be_v some_o person_n of_o experience_n in_o trade_n to_o teach_v and_o direct_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o it_o to_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v the_o practic_n as_o well_o as_o theory_n that_o every_o person_n enter_v himself_o into_o the_o society_n may_v be_v oblige_v to_o bring_v in_o a_o thousand_o pound_n stock_n which_o will_v make_v a_o capital_a perhaps_o of_o 20_o or_o 30000_o l._n sterl_n to_o traffic_n with_o in_o thirty_o city_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o kingdom_n they_o to_o be_v oblige_v to_o spend_v five_o year_n in_o this_o society_n and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o that_o term_n to_o receive_v the_o principal_a they_o bring_v allow_v the_o casualty_n of_o profit_n and_o loss_n as_o it_o happen_v go_v thus_o out_o they_o will_v be_v enter_v in_o trade_n and_o probable_o have_v a_o fund_z to_o begin_v with_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v trade_n will_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o gentleman_n person_n of_o learning_n and_o consideration_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o likewise_o preserve_v from_o misfortune_n number_n that_o now_o miscarry_v in_o their_o study_n of_o the_o law_n through_o ill_a conversation_n and_o have_v no_o employment_n to_o this_o project_n a_o word_n now_o traduce_v to_o contempt_n though_o in_o its_o self_n of_o good_a signification_n both_o for_o peace_n and_o war_n i_o foresee_v two_o objection_n that_o will_v be_v make_v against_o it_o and_o they_o be_v these_o first_o this_o will_v make_v too_o many_o merchant_n second_o that_o this_o will_v leave_v no_o room_n for_o young_a brother_n that_o have_v nothing_o to_o prefer_v they_o in_o the_o world_n but_o a_o small_a sum_n to_o put_v they_o apprentice_n to_o a_o merchant_n by_o which_o they_o often_o raise_v their_o fortune_n in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o evil_a of_o have_v too_o many_o merchant_n be_v in_o the_o number_n that_o be_v breed_v up_o from_o apprentice_n many_o of_o which_o come_v into_o business_n without_o fund_n strain_v their_o credit_n which_o to_o keep_v above_o water_n they_o be_v force_v to_o venture_v at_o all_o way_n that_o have_v but_o a_o probability_n of_o success_n to_o keep_v themselves_o in_o business_n and_o then_o to_o comply_v with_o their_o credit_n often_o sell_v to_o loss_n which_o in_o the_o end_n bring_v they_o to_o misfortune_n and_o that_o beget_v a_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v too_o many_o trader_n whereas_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v the_o want_n of_o stock_n not_o number_n of_o merchant_n the_o second_o objection_n that_o this_o will_v hinder_v merchant_n from_o take_v apprentice_n be_v in_o part_n answer_v in_o the_o first_o that_o their_o number_n prejudice_n trade_n but_o there_o be_v a_o far_a consideration_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o that_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o youth_n stand_v candidate_n for_o a_o mercantine_a education_n gentleman_n with_o a_o capital_a other_o of_o less_o quality_n with_o none_o i_o think_v it_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o question_n which_o shall_v be_v prefer_v and_o that_o the_o other_o may_v be_v more_o profitable_o employ_v for_o the_o nation_n and_o themselves_o in_o trade_n that_o require_v more_o labour_n and_o less_o stock_n but_o after_o all_o i_o have_v say_v my_o wish_n be_v great_a than_o my_o expectation_n to_o see_v trade_n thus_o court_v in_o a_o kingdom_n that_o treat_v it_o as_o some_o do_v their_o wife_n consider_v they_o no_o far_o than_o to_o the_o production_n of_o a_o legitimate_a posterity_n reserve_v their_o caress_n and_o delight_n for_o a_o miss_n so_o the_o humour_n of_o this_o age_n seem_v to_o incline_v whilst_o foreign_a commerce_n be_v neglect_v and_o man_n thought_n and_o design_n run_v after_o office_n and_o employment_n in_o the_o state_n to_o pay_v which_o spider-like_a the_o nation_n spin_v out_o her_o bowel_n to_o catch_v fly_n and_o the_o simile_n go_v far_a such_o food_n turn_v into_o poison_n where_o it_o feed_v man_n faulty_a in_o their_o moral_n and_o such_o too_o often_o supplant_v better_a man_n or_o find_v way_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o they_o to_o say_v this_o will_v be_v no_o offence_n to_o deserve_a man_n and_o for_o other_o i_o shall_v only_o desire_v they_o to_o snspend_v their_o resentment_n until_o the_o second_o part_n come_v forth_o and_o then_o they_o will_v have_v more_o reason_n because_o it_o will_v come_v in_o my_o way_n to_o be_v more_o particular_a when_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o trade_n of_o ireland_n in_o which_o there_o have_v of_o late_o be_v such_o notorious_a demonstration_n how_o ill_a man_n in_o office_n and_o place_n of_o trust_n may_v ruin_v and_o destroy_v a_o kingdom_n as_o admit_v of_o no_o

spare_v out_o of_o merchant_n ship_n who_o with_o one_o four_o foreigner_n as_o the_o act_n allow_v and_o these_o new_a man_n may_v with_o one_o three_o of_o old_a seaman_n be_v navigate_v and_o the_o way_n to_o prevent_v coller_a old_a seaman_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o new_a be_v easy_a and_o infallible_a as_o be_v beyond_o objection_n even_o to_o they_o that_o encourage_v not_o this_o proposal_n demonstrate_v if_o this_o expedient_a be_v not_o approve_v it_o may_v perchance_o set_v better_a head_n on_o more_o proper_a mean_n for_o that_o there_o seem_v a_o necessity_n to_o provide_v for_o trade_n against_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o well_o as_o now_o for_o the_o navy_n in_o time_n of_o war_n and_o in_o my_o humble_a opinion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o encouragement_n so_o effectual_a to_o make_v seaman_n as_o exemption_n from_o man_n of_o war_n for_o some_o time_n invention_n to_o find_v out_o conceal_v seaman_n seem_v to_o i_o a_o antidote_n against_o make_v new_a force_n and_o project_n may_v be_v useful_a to_o make_v a_o ignorant_a servile_a people_n slave_n but_o can_v have_v no_o good_a effect_n with_o those_o that_o know_v better_o and_o will_v not_o be_v so_o there_o need_v no_o trick_n to_o promote_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o a_o nation_n every_o man_n will_v run_v into_o it_o and_o he_o will_v be_v a_o statesman_n worthy_a of_o honour_n that_o do_v advance_v the_o interest_n of_o his_o country_n above_o that_o of_o their_o neighbour_n of_o building_n ship_n have_v in_o few_o word_n for_o so_o they_o be_v if_o regard_n be_v have_v to_o the_o subject_a do_v with_o navigation_n and_o seaman_n i_o come_v to_o that_o of_o building_n ship_n and_o some_o think_v we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o want_v they_o for_o merchantman_n for_o the_o fleet_n none_o doubt_v but_o to_o a_o extremity_n we_o do_v and_o that_o lie_v before_o those_o who_o can_v only_o supply_v it_o but_o that_o we_o want_v merchant_n ship_n sufficient_a for_o our_o trade_n i_o be_o afraid_a we_o do_v i_o wish_v we_o do_v but_o whilst_o so_o many_o ship_n lie_v by_o the_o wall_n it_o be_v no_o great_a sign_n we_o do_v and_o this_o be_v our_o case_n before_o the_o war_n more_o than_o now_o which_o may_v be_v answer_v by_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o ship_n this_o war_n but_o that_o seem_v not_o sufficient_a there_o be_v allowance_n for_o all_o and_o yet_o too_o plain_a that_o we_o want_v not_o ship_n for_o the_o trade_n of_o england_n if_o we_o have_v a_o peace_n to_o morrow_n which_o be_v a_o misfortune_n that_o the_o nation_n have_v not_o so_o much_o trade_n leave_v they_o as_o to_o employ_v one_o half_a the_o seaman_n their_o neighbour_n do_v and_o until_o we_o have_v at_o least_o always_o in_o employment_n as_o many_o as_o the_o french_a there_o seem_v no_o security_n to_o these_o kingdom_n but_o it_o be_v hope_v there_o will_v be_v way_n find_v to_o employ_v they_o as_o there_o soon_o will_v be_v when_o those_o trade_n we_o have_v lose_v be_v retrieve_v and_o if_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o nation_n think_v it_o necessary_a no_o human_a hand_n or_o policy_n can_v hinder_v they_o either_o in_o that_o or_o any_o other_o trade_n of_o the_o nation_n if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o hand_n in_o time_n what_o can_v withstand_v a_o people_n that_o outdoth_a all_o kingdom_n in_o europe_n in_o tax_n without_o complaint_n and_o famine_n as_o they_o have_v in_o other_o country_n a_o five_o part_n of_o one_o year_n tax_n may_v be_v so_o lay_v out_o as_o to_o conquer_v and_o secure_v that_o we_o most_o want_v but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o proposition_n of_o building_n ship_n there_o be_v two_o difficulty_n start_v in_o this_o matter_n one_o be_v that_o the_o timber_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v much_o waste_v and_o can_v hold_v out_o long_o the_o other_o be_v that_o timber_n from_o norway_n be_v not_o to_o be_v purchase_v by_o we_o at_o such_o easy_a rate_n as_o the_o dutch_a have_v and_o consequent_o can_v build_v so_o cheap_a as_o they_o do_v now_o though_o there_o be_v truth_n in_o both_o these_o objection_n yet_o be_v raise_v on_o another_o occasion_n that_o of_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n yet_o i_o see_v no_o great_a weight_n in_o it_o as_o to_o the_o use_n they_o will_v make_v of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o show_v the_o necessity_n for_o the_o nation_n to_o buy_v ship_n of_o the_o dutch_a i_o confess_v to_o my_o understanding_n the_o reason_n they_o give_v turn_v upon_o they_o and_o be_v there_o nothing_o more_o but_o what_o they_o offer_v against_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n in_o that_o point_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v the_o good_a of_o that_o act_n but_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v speak_v apart_o and_o return_v to_o the_o building_n of_o ship_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o great_a consequence_n to_o a_o people_n that_o live_v by_o trade_n than_o to_o be_v maker_n of_o their_o own_o tool_n by_o which_o they_o work_v none_o will_v deny_v now_o ship_n be_v the_o tool_n and_o utensil_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o fetch_v they_o from_o abroad_o be_v to_o trade_n by_o licence_n whenever_o our_o northern_a neighbour_n please_v we_o must_v lie_v still_o or_o pay_v such_o rate_n as_o they_o please_v that_o shall_v be_v equal_a to_o a_o tax_n on_o our_o trade_n for_o this_o reason_n i_o conceive_v it_o worth_a a_o consideration_n how_o to_o find_v out_o a_o expedient_a and_o that_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n i_o shall_v propose_v be_v either_o or_o both_o of_o these_o way_n 1._o that_o the_o act_n of_o navagation_n for_o that_o part_n of_o it_o relate_v to_o timber_n and_o naval_a store_n be_v dispense_v with_o for_o three_o year_n and_o that_o all_o custom_n port_n and_o town_n duty_n be_v take_v off_o for_o that_o time_n on_o timber_n etc._n etc._n relate_v to_o building_n and_o fit_v ship_n to_o sea_n this_o will_v tumble_v in_o material_n fast_v enough_o perchance_o to_o a_o glut_n if_o the_o follow_a proposition_n be_v effectual_o pursue_v that_o be_v 2._o to_o give_v such_o encouragement_n for_o raise_v naval_a commodity_n as_o pitch_n tar_n hemp_n etc._n etc._n in_o our_o foreign_a plantation_n as_o may_v advance_v that_o trade_n to_o more_o than_o our_o own_o consumption_n if_o this_o be_v do_v it_o will_v make_v the_o northern_a prince_n abate_v their_o imposition_n they_o have_v late_o lay_v on_o their_o commodity_n and_o set_v they_o upon_o all_o way_n of_o furnish_v we_o so_o cheap_a as_o may_v render_v our_o attempt_n of_o raise_v they_o ourselves_o unprofitable_a and_o let_v it_o succeed_v to_o their_o expectation_n or_o not_o the_o effect_n will_v be_v to_o our_o advantage_n and_o the_o success_n to_o either_o time_n will_v show_v the_o next_o thing_n then_o that_o be_v to_o be_v inquire_v into_o in_o this_o matter_n be_v how_o our_o plantation_n stand_v as_o to_o the_o natural_a product_n of_o these_o commodity_n and_o how_o provide_v with_o hand_n to_o manufacture_n they_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o can_v say_v something_o upon_o my_o own_o observation_n in_o america_n that_o new_a england_n be_v superior_a to_o any_o of_o the_o northern_a crown_n for_o timber_n and_o mast_n pine_n and_o fir_n to_o make_v pitch_n
