A64029	A modest and just apology for; or, defence of the present East-India-Company Against the accusations of their adversaries. Wherein the crimes alledged against them, are fairly examined; the calumny's confuted, and all submitted to the judgment of impartial and unprejudiced persons.

except_v be_v worthy_a consideration_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o upon_o the_o first_o establishment_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n in_o this_o nation_n the_o adventurer_n be_v establish_v in_o
