A80365	Considerations relating to the African bill Humbly submitted to the honourable House of Commons.		1698 (1698)	Wing C5913; ESTC R224910	3,512	4

consideration_n relate_v to_o the_o african_a bill_n humble_o submit_v to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o the_o preamble_n of_o the_o bill_n assert_n four_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o african_a trade_n be_v beneficial_a to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o the_o plantation_n second_o that_o fort_n and_o castle_n be_v necessary_a for_o support_v of_o that_o trade_n three_o that_o those_o fort_n and_o castle_n have_v hitherto_o be_v maintain_v by_o the_o present_a african_a company_n four_o that_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a all_o the_o king_n subject_n trade_v to_o africa_n shall_v contribute_v towards_o maintain_v those_o necessary_a fort_n and_o castle_n this_o preamble_n be_v by_o the_o committee_n postpone_v the_o first_o clause_n of_o the_o bill_n come_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o by_o this_o clause_n first_o it_o be_v enact_v that_o the_o royal_a african_a company_n shall_v maintain_v the_o fort_n and_o castle_n they_o now_o have_v or_o hereafter_o shall_v purchase_v or_o erect_v for_o the_o general_a benefit_n of_o that_o trade_n and_o by_o the_o second_o clause_n it_o be_v far_a enact_v that_o all_o his_o majesty_n subject_n trade_v to_o africa_n shall_v pay_v the_o company_n per_fw-la cent._n towards_o support_v of_o that_o necessary_a charge_n etc._n etc._n object_n it_o have_v be_v object_v out_o of_o the_o house_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a in_o the_o committee_n may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o clause_n by_o a_o side-wind_n do_v confirm_v the_o company_n be_v charter_n wherein_o be_v several_a privilege_n grant_v say_v to_o be_v against_o law_n answ_n with_o submission_n this_o clause_n can_v only_o confirm_v the_o incorporation-part_n of_o the_o charter_n which_o constitute_v they_o a_o company_n and_o though_o some_o other_o part_n of_o that_o charter_n may_v not_o be_v justifiable_a yet_o i_o presume_v scarce_o any_o lawyer_n will_v say_v that_o the_o king_n can_v not_o make_v they_o a_o company_n but_o a_o proviso_n at_o the_o last_o may_v salve_v that_o objection_n if_o it_o have_v any_o force_n for_o therein_o it_o may_v be_v provide_v that_o nothing_o in_o this_o bill_n shall_v be_v construe_v to_o confirm_v any_o part_n of_o that_o charter_n which_o be_v against_o law_n but_o as_o to_o those_o they_o shall_v remain_v as_o though_o this_o act_n have_v never_o be_v make_v etc._n etc._n in_o this_o first_o clause_n it_o will_v be_v consider_v whether_o fort_n and_o castle_n be_v necessary_a etc._n etc._n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o a_o former_a session_n fort_n and_o castle_n be_v think_v necessary_a and_o that_o they_o be_v in_o fact_n so_o appear_v upon_o several_a account_n first_o because_o those_o part_n be_v divide_v into_o several_a petty-kingdom_n general_o at_o war_n among_o themselves_o and_o with_o who_o no_o security_n can_v be_v have_v but_o what_o force_n maintain_v and_o shall_v we_o not_o have_v fort_n and_o castle_n to_o defend_v our_o effect_n that_o lie_v there_o for_o a_o market_n and_o such_o as_o we_o buy_v and_o lie_v ready_a for_o our_o ship_n they_o will_v be_v seize_v by_o the_o very_a native_n themselves_o or_o by_o some_o european_n with_o who_o we_o may_v have_v war_n and_o who_o have_v fort_n and_o castle_n upon_o those_o coast_n second_o they_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o defence_n of_o those_o king_n that_o be_v our_o ally_n there_o who_o from_o time_n to_o time_n we_o supply_v with_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o their_o war_n and_o so_o preserve_v they_o from_o their_o enemy_n and_o secure_v they_o our_o friend_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o all_o nation_n trade_v to_o those_o part_n do_v maintain_v fort_n and_o castle_n and_o the_o african_a company_n have_v be_v at_o no_o less_o than_o 450000_o l._n in_o the_o purchase_n and_o defence_n of_o those_o fort_n and_o castle_n and_o other_o european_n at_o a_o proportional_a charge_n in_o they_o now_o nothing_o less_o than_o distraction_n must_v possess_v we_o and_o our_o neighbour_n to_o be_v at_o such_o vast_a expense_n to_o maintain_v what_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v do_v if_o fort_n and_o castle_n be_v necessary_a than_o the_o next_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v consider_v be_v whether_o a_o regulate_v company_n with_o a_o joint_a stock_n as_o the_o african_a company_n will_v be_v if_o this_o bill_n pass_v with_o a_o liberty_n to_o all_o other_o to_o trade_n upon_o as_o easy_a term_n as_o the_o company_n itself_o or_o a_o regulate_v company_n without_o a_o joint_a stock_n will_v carry_v on_o this_o trade_n to_o the_o best_a advantage_n of_o england_n and_o the_o plantation_n that_o a_o regulate_v company_n with_o a_o stock_n and_o liberty_n to_o all_o other_o to_o trade_n upon_o equal_a charge_n will_v best_o secure_v and_o carry_v on_o the_o trade_n seem_v plain_a for_o several_a reason_n first_o the_o company_n be_v oblige_v to_o employ_v their_o stock_n in_o trade_n will_v be_v consequent_o bind_v in_o war_n as_o well_o as_o peace_n to_o maintain_v those_o fort_n and_o castle_n for_o security_n of_o their_o effect_n whereas_o in_o time_n of_o war_n a_o company_n without_o a_o stock_n may_v decline_v their_o trade_n and_o so_o those_o fort_n and_o castle_n will_v become_v a_o prey_n either_o to_o the_o native_n themselves_o or_o which_o be_v most_o probable_a to_o our_o enemy_n who_o now_o have_v and_o will_v still_o maintain_v their_o fort_n and_o castle_n and_o then_o the_o trade_n with_o our_o fort_n and_o castle_n will_v be_v either_o lose_v to_o we_o or_o carry_v on_o as_o tributary_n to_o those_o european_n into_o who_o hand_n those_o defence_n shall_v fall_v this_o most_o plain_o appear_v by_o that_o instance_n between_o the_o dutch_a and_o porteguese_n for_o when_o portugal_n have_v those_o fort_n and_o castle_n there_o the_o dutch_a now_o have_v holland_n pay_v the_o other_o tribute_n for_o liberty_n to_o trade_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o dutch_a become_v master_n of_o the_o fort_n and_o castle_n the_o table_n be_v turn_v and_o portugal_n pay_v that_o tribute_n to_o the_o dutch_a which_o they_o before_o receive_v from_o they_o second_o the_o plantation_n will_v be_v certain_o serve_v with_o negro_n in_o war_n as_o well_o as_o peace_n and_o can_v be_v impose_v upon_o in_o price_n whilst_o themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o may_v fetch_v they_o if_o they_o shall_v think_v it_o proper_a to_o trade_n three_o gentleman_n widow_n orphan_n or_o other_o not_o breed_v to_o trade_n may_v in_o this_o stock_n employ_v their_o money_n both_o to_o their_o own_o and_o nation_n advantage_n whereas_o in_o a_o company_n without_o a_o stock_n this_o can_v it_o be_v do_v four_o the_o african_a company_n by_o this_o bill_n may_v be_v oblige_v to_o make_v entry_n of_o all_o their_o export_n and_o to_o keep_v a_o true_a account_n of_o all_o their_o charge_n in_o relation_n to_o those_o ●orts_n and_o castle_n and_o allow_v incident_n necessary_a for_o the_o general_a support_n of_o this_o trade_n and_o as_o often_o as_o shall_v be_v think_v necessary_a to_o give_v this_o account_n upon_o oath_n so_o that_o if_o too_o high_a a_o duty_n be_v impose_v in_o the_o next_o session_n it_o may_v be_v lessen_v or_o if_o too_o little_a then_o raise_v in_o a_o due_a proportion_n so_o that_o the_o company_n may_v lose_v if_o less_o than_o be_v necessary_a be_v lay_v but_o they_o can_v be_v no_o gainer_n whilst_o they_o be_v thus_o accountable_a and_o subject_a to_o the_o regulation_n of_o the_o very_a next_o session_n of_o parliament_n etc._n etc._n other_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v but_o i_o do_v humble_o conceive_v these_o sufficient_a obj._n whereas_o it_o be_v object_v by_o some_o that_o a_o joint-stock_n be_v prejudicial_a to_o trade_n and_o therefore_o this_o company_n with_o a_o joint-stock_n deserve_v no_o encouragement_n answ_n there_o be_v nothing_o can_v be_v say_v against_o a_o joint-stock_n in_o a_o regulate_v company_n with_o a_o liberty_n to_o all_o other_o to_o trade_n upon_o equal_a term_n with_o the_o company_n as_o this_o will_v be_v if_o the_o bill_n pass_v but_o what_o hold_v as_o strong_a against_o a_o large_a copartnership_n and_o it_o be_v reasonable_o believe_v that_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a merchant_n that_o now_o oppose_v this_o bill_n will_v in_o case_n this_o bill_n be_v reject_v enter_v in_o that_o copartnership_n and_o then_o will_v endeavour_v to_o impose_v that_o egyptian_a bondage_n upon_o trade_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o fear_v from_o the_o company_n upon_o pass_v this_o bill_n and_o there_o will_v be_v some_o danger_n from_o such_o a_o copartnership_n but_o there_o can_v be_v none_o from_o the_o company_n under_o this_o bill_n for_o shall_v the_o company_n after_o this_o bill_n oppress_v their_o fellow-subject_n than_o in_o conscience_n as_o well_o as_o law_n entitle_v to_o a_o equal_a liberty_n in_o the_o trade_n they_o will_v deserve_o incur_v the_o just_a indignation_n of_o the_o next_o parliament_n who_o will_v not_o only_o deprive_v they_o of_o any_o power_n to_o repeat_v the_o same_o but_o in_o probability_n of_o their_o very_a be_v and_o dissolve_v their_o charter_n so_o that_o nothing_o less_o than_o self-preservation_n the_o great_a obligation_n possible_a bind_v they_o to_o a_o civil_a treatment_n towards_o their_o fellow_n subject_n as_o for_o the_o former_a carriage_n of_o the_o company_n whilst_o they_o think_v the_o power_n of_o their_o charter_n legal_a that_o can_v reasonable_o be_v fear_v under_o this_o bill_n when_o they_o know_v that_o other_o as_o well_o as_o themselves_o be_v legal_o entitle_v to_o that_o trade_n but_o a_o large_a copartnership_n will_v receive_v no_o such_o prejudice_n from_o be_v dissolve_v as_o a_o dissolution_n will_v prove_v to_o the_o company_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o trade_n may_v be_v damnify_v by_o such_o a_o copartnership_n there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n from_o the_o company_n for_o the_o reason_n beforementioned_a as_o for_o the_o cambia_n trade_n which_o by_o the_o bill_n be_v propose_v to_o be_v secure_v to_o the_o company_n if_o this_o honourable_a house_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o open_v that_o to_o all_o other_o it_o be_v hope_v such_o a_o separate_a duty_n shall_v be_v lay_v as_o may_v be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o building_n the_o fort_n and_o castle_n and_o the_o annual_a support_n of_o the_o trade_n the_o fort_n will_v cost_v the_o company_n 20000_o l._n and_o the_o annual_a expense_n not_o less_o than_o 6000_o l._n and_o the_o trade_n thither_o be_v never_o for_o above_o 10000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la ever_o since_o the_o parliament_n vote_v that_o it_o be_v the_o undoubted_a right_n of_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n to_o trade_n to_o foreign_a part_n none_o of_o those_o free_a trader_n have_v ever_o bring_v to_o the_o parliament_n a_o bill_n to_o settle_v this_o trade_n but_o still_o oppose_v what_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o company_n for_o settle_v the_o same_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v plain_a because_o those_o free_a trader_n as_o they_o true_o call_v themselves_o have_v never_o contribute_v to_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o general_a support_n of_o the_o trade_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o believe_v that_o under_o such_o a_o regulation_n whatsoever_o it_o shall_v be_v they_o must_v pay_v towards_o what_o by_o the_o parliament_n shall_v be_v think_v necessary_a for_o the_o general_a interest_n of_o that_o trade_n whereas_o if_o they_o can_v continue_v that_o heavy_a load_n upon_o the_o african_a company_n only_o by_o oppose_v this_o bill_n they_o shall_v then_o enjoy_v their_o trade_n without_o that_o expense_n so_o that_o these_o free_a trader_n have_v for_o about_o nine_o year_n last_o pass_v since_o they_o have_v have_v a_o liberty_n to_o trade_n continue_v no_o less_o burden_n upon_o the_o company_n than_o 25000_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n communibus_fw-la annis_n during_o this_o war_n but_o will_v never_o touch_v this_o weight_n with_o one_o of_o their_o finger_n though_o themselves_o receive_v great_a profit_n thereby_o and_o be_v equal_o protect_v in_o their_o factory_n and_o effect_n with_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o company_n itself_o but_o it_o be_v now_o humble_o hope_v this_o honourable_a house_n will_v put_v those_o free_a trader_n and_o the_o company_n for_o the_o future_a upon_o a_o just_a balance_n by_o give_v countenance_n to_o this_o bill_n which_o with_o all_o submission_n can_v give_v no_o advantage_n to_o the_o company_n above_o other_o trader_n whilst_o their_o own_o effect_n will_v be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o charge_n with_o other_o man_n and_o a_o general_a good_a aught_o to_o be_v support_v by_o all_o that_o have_v benefit_n thereby_o viz._n those_o fort_n and_o castle_n so_o necessary_a for_o the_o common_a advantage_n of_o this_o trade_n the_o support_n whereof_o have_v lie_v too_o heavy_a upon_o the_o present_a company_n who_o do_v therefore_o by_o this_o bill_n humble_o apply_v themselves_o to_o this_o honourable_a house_n for_o their_o relief_n in_o the_o premise_n consideration_n relate_v to_o the_o african_a bill_n
