the_o general_a plantation_n themselves_o and_o to_o enter_v into_o consideration_n whether_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o contract_n they_o be_v likely_a to_o subsist_v and_o prosper_v it_o be_v here_o first_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o plantation_n have_v be_v found_v under_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a amity_n at_o the_o excessive_a great_a charge_n of_o the_o adventurer_n and_o planter_n and_o so_o continue_v for_o many_o year_n with_o small_a or_o no_o retribution_n except_o to_o some_o few_o person_n and_o the_o attempt_n of_o set_v up_o staple_n commodity_n as_o iron_n silk_n wine_n etc._n etc._n though_o pursue_v with_o great_a constancy_n care_n and_o charge_n have_v hitherto_o fail_v by_o sundry_a misaccident_n to_o think_v the_o bestow_n now_o of_o 5000._o pound_n a_o year_n upon_o the_o plantation_n and_o that_o draw_v from_o the_o labour_n and_o as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o planter_n will_v raise_v they_o up_o from_o that_o great_a decay_n into_o which_o during_o the_o space_n of_o those_o latter_a two_o year_n they_o have_v apparent_o fall_v be_v like_a to_o prove_v a_o great_a and_o dangerous_a error_n whereas_o the_o only_a mean_n remain_v to_o advance_v the_o plantation_n be_v the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o adventurer_n thither_o especial_o in_o person_n with_o hope_n of_o wealth_n good_a government_n and_o justice._n experience_n have_v show_v that_o after_o the_o public_a stock_n be_v utter_o exhaust_v and_o the_o lottery_n end_v yet_o the_o plantation_n in_o virginia_n do_v exceed_o increase_v by_o the_o multitude_n of_o family_n and_o other_o particular_a person_n transport_v thither_o at_o their_o own_o charge_n upon_o the_o a_o foresay_a hope_n and_o encouragement_n till_o the_o fatal_a blow_n of_o the_o massacre_n give_v those_o a_o broad_a and_o the_o great_a molestation_n and_o disheartning_n of_o the_o company_n and_o adventurer_n here_o at_o home_n cast_v the_o colony_n into_o that_o consideration_n in_o which_o now_o it_o languish_v but_o whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v his_o gracious_a majesty_n to_o revive_v and_o renew_v the_o former_a hope_n and_o encouragement_n it_o will_v no_o doubt_n restore_v the_o former_a life_n to_o the_o plantation_n the_o remain_v whereof_o this_o contract_n must_v needs_o extinguish_v which_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v demonstrate_v the_o only_a commodity_n for_o merchant_n in_o both_o the_o plantation_n be_v at_o this_o day_n no_o other_o than_o tobacco_n whereby_o their_o apparel_n tool_n implement_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_n except_o victual_n be_v procure_v there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o both_o the_o colony_n at_o the_o least_o 3000._o person_n this_o allowance_n of_o 200000._o weight_n to_o both_o the_o plantation_n come_v but_o to_o 65._o pound_n weight_n of_o tobacco_n the_o person_n which_o at_o 12._o the_o pound_n weight_n come_v to_o 3._o pound_n 5._o shilling_n out_o of_o which_o all_o the_o planter_n in_o the_o summer_n land_n and_o such_o as_o be_v tenant_n or_o servant_n in_o virginia_n pay_v half_a to_o their_o owner_n whether_o landlord_n or_o master_n so_o that_o to_o themselves_o their_o remain_v for_o their_o maintenance_n only_o 32_o shilling_n 6_o penny_n the_o piece_n the_o charge_n of_o transport_v a_o person_n to_o virginia_n can_v be_v less_o at_o this_o day_n than_o 20_o pound_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o general_o know_v must_v needs_o dishearten_v all_o future_a planter_n from_o go_v and_o force_v the_o present_a adventurer_n rather_o to_o send_v for_o their_o servant_n home_n then_o to_o maintain_v they_o at_o a_o parpetuall_a charge_n without_o hope_n of_o profit_n and_o this_o have_v diverse_a of_o they_o already_o open_o declare_v we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o bestow_n of_o 5000._o pound_n a_o year_n upon_o the_o colony_n and_o that_o draw_v from_o the_o hard_a labour_n of_o the_o poor_a planter_n themselves_o will_v uphold_v the_o plantation_n when_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o can_v be_v no_o long_o master_n of_o their_o own_o good_n but_o must_v be_v force_v to_o transport_v they_o when_o they_o can_v vent_v they_o to_o put_v they_o into_o their_o hand_n who_o shall_v take_v and_o refuse_v what_o themselves_o please_v and_o sell_v they_o before_o their_o face_n perhaps_o at_o a_o noble_a a_o pound_n and_o give_v they_o but_o 6_o penny_n after_o a_o year_n attendance_n for_o their_o good_n with_o the_o fraught_n and_o all_o other_o charge_n and_o loss_n &_o this_o example_n also_o in_o tobacco_n engender_v a_o fear_n of_o the_o like_a measure_n in_o all_o other_o commodity_n whensoever_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v that_o we_o say_v as_o before_o in_o our_o understanding_n to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a error_n and_o of_o pernicious_a consequence_n to_o hoth_v the_o plantation_n no_o less_o then_o to_o draw_v 40_o ounce_n of_o blood_n from_o a_o tender_a weak_a infant_n and_o then_o to_o make_v he_o a_o restorative_n out_o of_o five_o ounce_n of_o the_o same_o blood_n 4._o now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n see_v this_o contract_n be_v so_o much_o

truth_n it_o have_v be_v set_v on_o foot_n by_o force_n of_o this_o contract_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o majesty_n proclamation_n get_v into_o their_o hand_n the_o sole_a sale_n of_o all_o

all_o monopoly_n at_o least_o to_o as_o high_a a_o rate_n as_o it_o have_v bear_v in_o former_a time_n that_o be_v to_o 8_o or_o 9_o shilling_n the_o pound_n but_o admit_v they_o will_v begin_v first_o with_o a_o noble_a a_o pound_n two_o hundred_o thousand_o noble_n come_v unto_o sixty_o six_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o sixty_o six_o pound_n 13_o shilling_n 4._o penny_n his_o majesty_n rent_n out_o of_o the_o plantation_n come_v unto_o 15._o thousand_o pound_n the_o planter_n and_o the_o adventurer_n part_v after_o the_o rate_n of_o 18._o penny_n the_o pound_n which_o in_o probability_n be_v like_a to_o be_v the_o high_a medium_n come_v unto_o 15000._o pound_n so_o the_o charge_n in_o the_o whole_a come_n unto_o 30000_o pound_n thereis_n 36000_o pound_n and_o one_o thousand_o mark_n remain_v to_o themselves_o in_o way_n of_o retribution_n for_o their_o pain_n &_o adventure_n and_o as_o themselves_o say_v to_o appease_v all_o such_o storm_n as_o may_v arise_v to_o great_a a_o proportion_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o plantation_n to_o allow_v they_o scarce_o a_o six_o part_n of_o their_o own_o and_o to_o bestow_v almost_o four_o six_o part_n upon_o man_n no_o better_o deserve_v in_o the_o former_a contract_n what_o clamour_n and_o complaint_n against_o 25000._o pound_n to_o have_v be_v raise_v for_o salery_n and_o all_o other_o charge_n which_o come_v to_o little_o more_o than_o a_o penny_n upon_o the_o pound_n whereas_o these_o man_n profess_v that_o under_o 12_o penny_n a_o pound_n get_v at_o least_o they_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o it_o and_o they_o hope_v for_o far_o more_o by_o computation_n of_o the_o former_a contract_n there_o be_v to_o come_v 60000_o pound_n at_o least_o to_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o plantation_n whereof_o the_o 4_o part_n be_v now_o be_v think_v a_o sufficient_a portion_n and_o yet_o that_o contract_n be_v say_v to_o be_v pernicious_a to_o the_o colony_n and_o this_o beneficial_a indeed_o to_o do_v equal_a right_n unto_o both_o the_o contract_n be_v better_a than_o the_o former_a in_o that_o it_o exclude_v all_o foreign_a tobacco_n which_o with_o great_a violence_n be_v press_v upon_o the_o former_a for_o the_o first_o two_o year_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v attribue_v to_o his_o majesty_n great_a grace_n give_v a_o favourable_a ear_n to_o the_o suit_n of_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n as_o appear_z in_o his_o majesty_n late_a proclamation_n in_o the_o debate_n of_o the_o former_a contract_n it_o be_v allege_v against_o it_o by_o such_o as_o be_v now_o great_a furtherer_n of_o this_o that_o though_o the_o planters_n tobacco_n be_v sell_v at_o 5_o shilling_n the_o pound_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o majesty_n three_o they_o shall_v be_v loser_n and_o now_o 16_o penny_n a_o pound_n be_v think_v price_n sufficient_a this_o excessive_a gain_n of_o the_o contracter_n &_o undertaker_n we_o conceive_v undoubted_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n unjust_a and_o tend_v to_o the_o immediate_a destruction_n of_o the_o plantation_n for_o whatsoever_o they_o get_v the_o plant_a lose_v and_o where_o the_o plant_a lose_v the_o colony_n be_v so_o much_o impoverish_v for_o whatsoever_o the_o plant_a make_v that_o go_v all_o back_n to_o the_o plantation_n again_o and_o what_o the_o contracter_n get_v it_o remain_v with_o he_o to_o his_o own_o enrich_n for_o as_o for_o the_o return_v of_o 5000._o pound_n to_o the_o plantation_n which_o this_o heavy_a contract_n adnex_v it_o be_v in_o truth_n to_o send_v one_o hundred_o man_n thither_o and_o to_o stay_v thousand_o from_o thence_o the_o strength_n and_o prosperity_n of_o the_o colony_n consist_v in_o multitude_n of_o people_n 5._o some_o thing_n we_o be_v force_v to_o add_v touch_v the_o proceed_n of_o this_o contract_n 1_o first_o whereas_o the_o adventurer_n of_o the_o summer_n land_n remain_v still_o a_o company_n and_o be_v restrain_v by_o their_o letter_n patent_n from_o order_v of_o matter_n of_o trade_n but_o in_o a_o quarter_n court_n this_o contract_n have_v be_v seek_v to_o have_v be_v conclude_v in_o a_o mean_a and_o extraordinary_a meeting_n and_o no_o court_n at_o all_o when_o few_o be_v present_a and_o those_o few_o man_n silence_n also_o enter_v as_o a_o consent_n not_o many_o of_o they_o understanding_n it_o and_o those_o that_o understand_v it_o be_v amaze_v at_o so_o great_a injustice_n 2_o second_o the_o virginia_n company_n be_v now_o discharge_v it_o have_v be_v fit_a the_o colony_n have_v be_v consult_v about_o it_o and_o not_o to_o dispose_v of_o other_o man_n state_n and_o good_n without_o their_o consent_n and_o knowledge_n 3_o three_o the_o very_a manner_n of_o treat_v of_o this_o contract_n have_v breed_v a_o suspicion_n of_o very_a indirect_a proceed_n for_o first_o it_o have_v be_v frame_v secret_o and_o in_o the_o dark_a it_o have_v be_v publish_v but_o by_o fragment_n and_o some_o principal_a part_n conceal_v some_o of_o the_o commissioner_n appear_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a contracter_n other_o some_o though_o they_o do_v not_o appear_v yet_o they_o be_v partner_n with_o they_o in_o their_o trade_n be_v contracter_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o it_o and_o so_o the_o same_o man_n be_v the_o contriver_n and_o maker_n of_o the_o bargain_n for_o themselves_o and_o buyer_n and_o seller_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o ware_n and_o take_v away_o and_o set_v the_o prize_n of_o other_o man_n good_n for_o their_o own_o inordinate_a lucre_n 4._o last_o under_o pretence_n of_o do_v allthing_n orderly_o they_o have_v make_v a_o commitie_n of_o themselves_o as_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o colony_n and_o planter_n to_o treat_v with_o their_o fellow_n commissioner_n the_o conracter_n for_o speedy_a payment_n and_o most_o of_o these_o man_n have_v they_o choose_v to_o be_v committee_n who_o the_o adventurer_n and_o planter_n have_v a_o long_a time_n complain_v off_o for_o their_o exorbitant_a wrong_n to_o one_o or_o both_o the_o plantation_n many_o other_o exception_n may_v be_v take_v but_o these_o shall_v suffice_v at_o this_o present_a finis_fw-la
