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

there_o must_v be_v some_o kind_n of_o original_a exportation_n because_o the_o merchant_n can_v purchase_v foreign_a good_n in_o a_o foreign_a port_n for_o nothing_o and_o one_o will_v think_v it_o

or_o bullion_n but_o of_o late_a year_n many_o of_o our_o merchant_n very_o much_o contend_v for_o a_o liberty_n to_o export_v money_n or_o bullion_n as_o advantageous_a to_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o

of_o our_o trade_n now_o be_v for_o the_o reason_n follow_v first_o i_o shall_v admit_v that_o the_o export_n of_o treasure_n in_o the_o trade_n from_o port_n to_o port_n may_v increase_v treasure_n provide_v that_o the_o merchant_n make_v wise_a bargain_n and_o his_o ship_n return_v safe_a neither_o of_o which_o be_v altogether_o certain_a but_o suppose_v the_o merchant_n be_v both_o so_o wise_a and_o fortunate_a yet_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o in_o this_o way_n of_o trade_n the_o merchant_n can_v bring_v more_o new_a treasure_n to_o the_o nation_n than_o the_o merchant_n by_o his_o

to_o the_o full_a value_n of_o the_o manufacture_n or_o commodity_n export_v since_o the_o manufacture_n or_o home_n commodity_n sell_v will_v final_o resolve_v into_o treasure_n nay_o though_o the_o

it_o be_v of_o any_o great_a extent_n of_o territory_n so_o must_v the_o exportation_n of_o bullion_n be_v attend_v with_o the_o same_o mischief_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o exportation_n of_o

may_v be_v support_v with_o much_o few_o and_o lesser_a manufacture_n and_o home_n employment_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o export_n of_o treasure_n must_v be_v less_o dangerous_a and_o perhaps_o may_v be_v the_o more_o necessary_a there_o because_o by_o the_o fewness_n of_o people_n and_o consequential_a restraint_n of_o manufacture_n their_o merchant_n may_v be_v confine_v in_o the_o bulk_n and_o variety_n of_o home_n commodity_n to_o export_v if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o no_o nation_n can_v be_v so_o store_v with_o home_n commodity_n as_o to_o answer_v all_o foreign_a port_n and_o
