A54635 Britannia languens: or, A discourse of trade shewing, that the present management of trade in England, is the true reason of the decay of our manufactures, and the late great fall of land-rents; and that the increase of trade, in the method it now stands in, must proportionably decay England. Wherein is particularly demonstrated, that the East-India Company, as now managed, has already near destroyed our trade in those parts, as well as that with Turky, and in short time must necessarily beggar the nation. Humbly offered to the consideration of this present Parliament. Petyt, William, 1636-1707. 1689 (1689) Wing P1947; ESTC R218978 144,323 343

which_o i_o intimate_v once_o more_o to_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o improve_n our_o trade_n i_o shall_v now_o answer_v some_o common_a objection_n the_o most_o usual_a be_v that_o there_o be_v

more_o money_n than_o ever_o in_o england_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o only_o prove_v the_o scarcity_n of_o security_n and_o therein_o the_o poverty_n of_o the_o nation_n for_o personal_a security_n for_o money_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n lose_v all_o the_o float_a money_n to_o be_v let_v out_o at_o interest_n be_v thrust_v upon_o land-security_n which_o be_v

have_v subvert_v personal_a security_n so_o have_v it_o creep_v into_o the_o land_n for_o man_n estate_n be_v already_o so_o entangle_v with_o debt_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o land-security_n in_o twenty_o that_o be_v good_a as_o dear_a experience_n have_v now_o teach_v we_o then_o the_o security_n be_v grow_v so_o scarce_o and_o narrow_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o there_o be_v now_o as_o much_o money_n to_o be_v let_v out_o as_o there_o be_v security_n and_o more_o thus_o if_o a_o man_n have_v 1000_o l._n in_o the_o isle_n of_o shetland_n he_o will_v there_o hardly_o find_v any_o

before_o be_v that_o there_o be_v still_o as_o much_o money_n in_o and_o about_o london_n as_o ever_o from_o whence_o they_o will_v argue_v as_o much_o money_n in_o the_o nation_n as_o before_o i_o
