A32827	A discourse about trade wherein the reduction of interest in money to 4 l. per centum, is recommended : methods for the employment and maintenance of the poor are proposed : several weighty points relating to companies of merchants, the act of navigation, naturalization of strangers, our woollen manufactures, the ballance of trade, and the nature of plantations, and their consequences in relation to the kingdom are seriously discussed : and some arguments for erecting a court of merchants for determining controversies, relating to maritime affairs, and for a law for transferrance of bills of debts, are humbly offered.	Child, Josiah, Sir, 1630-1699.; Culpeper, Thomas, Sir, 1578-1662. Small treatise against usury.	1690 (1690)	Wing C3853; ESTC R8738	119,342	350

by_o so_o do_v we_o give_v away_o the_o most_o precious_a of_o all_o our_o trade_n a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o navigation_n to_o our_o wise_a neighbour_n the_o dutch_a who_o have_v rather_o pay_v

all_o the_o public_a revenue_n thereof_o these_o two_o thing_n in_o my_o most_o unbiased_a retire_a thought_n be_v so_o far_o from_o contradiction_n that_o as_o our_o people_n in_o england_n be_v

the_o dutch_a with_o who_o we_o principal_o contend_v in_o trade_n give_v general_o more_o wage_n to_o all_o their_o manufacturer_n by_o at_o least_o two_o penny_n in_o the_o shilling_n than_o the_o
