reason_n humble_o offer_v against_o graft_v or_o splice_v and_o for_o dissolve_v this_o present_a east-india_n company_n or_o joint-stock_n and_o erect_v and_o establish_v a_o new_a national_a joint-stock_n or_o company_n more_o extensive_a and_o universal_a on_o a_o better_a constitution_n and_o term_n of_o settlement_n first_o this_o present_a company_n or_o joint-stock_n be_v only_o a_o imaginary_a fund_z not_o have_v any_o real_a stock_n of_o its_o own_o left_a to_o carry_v on_o the_o trade_n according_a to_o the_o general_a judgement_n of_o all_o that_o have_v knowledge_n and_o be_v most_o intuitous_a in_o that_o affair_n as_o also_o of_o many_o the_o concern_v and_o so_o can_v upon_o no_o account_n be_v conceive_v a_o suitable_a foundation_n to_o build_v or_o graft_v so_o large_a and_o national_a a_o trade_n upon_o nor_o will_v it_o suit_v with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o person_n verse_v in_o trade_n to_o join_v stock_n with_o any_o in_o a_o hazardous_a low_a weak_a

the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o to_o entrust_v so_o vast_a a_o trade_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o as_o have_v no_o stock_n therein_o and_o permit_v they_o to_o reap_v the_o whole_a or_o

have_v receive_v all_o if_o not_o much_o more_o than_o all_o their_o real_a principal_a stock_n out_o by_o dividend_n shall_v yet_o have_v the_o same_o benefit_n continue_v to_o they_o on_o account_n of_o a_o imaginary_a stock_n to_o the_o exclude_v and_o deprive_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n who_o desire_n to_o partake_v thereof_o according_a to_o their_o birthright_n
