by_o the_o restoration_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o and_o above_o all_o or_o generous_a and_o frank_a concurrence_n with_o they_o in_o the_o late_a happy_a revolution_n and_o advancement_n of_o king_n

the_o crown_n of_o england_n he_o will_v remove_v the_o seat_n of_o his_o government_n thither_o which_o will_v add_v to_o the_o grandeur_n and_o riches_n of_o england_n whereas_o if_o the_o king_n

to_o under_o sell_v the_o english_a company_n forestall_v their_o market_n and_o lessen_v his_o majesty_n custom_n we_o answer_v that_o this_o objection_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n obviate_v since_o we_o do_v not_o now_o pretend_v to_o set_v up_o a_o east-india_n trade_n but_o admit_v it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o general_a advantage_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n since_o the_o buyer_n be_v always_o more_o than_o the_o seller_n it_o must_v certain_o ●e_v better_a for_o the_o kingdom_n in_o general_n that_o every_o one_o who_o have_v occasion_n for_o muslin_n or_o

it_o will_v be_v sufficient_o make_v up_o in_o time_n to_o come_v by_o a_o large_a addition_n if_o that_o colony_n prosper_v so_o that_o the_o king_n bounty_n in_o that_o respect_n be_v but_o like_o

of_o english_a ship_n and_o seaman_n and_o make_v scotland_n the_o only_a free_a port_n of_o all_o those_o commodity_n to_o which_o its_o reply_v that_o though_o our_o own_o ship_n be_v oblige_v to_o

where_o they_o please_v or_o upon_o fair_a proposal_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n will_v give_v the_o english_a all_o possible_a liberty_n as_o to_o that_o matter_n answer_n allow_v the_o scotch_a nation_n to_o be_v independent_a though_o this_o have_v be_v question_v by_o some_o our_o author_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o consult_v the_o

settlement_n but_o then_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v also_o grant_v that_o this_o be_v reciprocal_a betwixt_o these_o two_o nation_n he_o ought_v not_o to_o blame_v the_o english_a if_o they_o will_v sacrifice_v their_o own_o interest_n to_o that_o of_o the_o scot_n and_o take_v all_o necessary_a and_o legal_a precaution_n against_o their_o encroachment_n to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o our_o

he_o further_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o the_o immunity_n from_o pay_v custom_n grant_v to_o the_o scot_n company_n can_v be_v any_o detriment_n to_o england_n because_o muslin_n indian_a silk_n
