of_o magellan_n which_o be_v near_o two_o three_o part_n of_o the_o trade_n world_n with_o the_o smallness_n of_o their_o stock_n and_o by_o such_o comparison_n it_o must_v needs_o appear_v their_o

the_o east-india-companys_a answer_n to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n of_o his_o majesty_n most_o honourable_a privy_a council_n may_v it_o please_v your_o lordship_n in_o obedience_n to_o your_o lordship_n order_n of_o the_o 17_o instant_a we_o do_v give_v the_o follow_a answer_n to_o every_o thing_n we_o think_v material_a in_o the_o turkey_n company_n paper_n present_v to_o your_o

no_o more_o credit_n to_o the_o turkey_n merchant_n than_o to_o ourselves_o but_o that_o the_o entry_n at_o his_o majesty_n customhouse_n may_v be_v the_o measure_n 2._o we_o must_v say_v which_o we_o

this_o last_o three_o year_n do_v not_o exceed_v 19000_o clothes_n or_o thereabouts_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la a_o great_a quantity_n than_o which_o in_o value_n at_o least_o the_o east-india_n company_n may_v probable_o ship_v out_o this_o year_n if_o their_o factory_a at_o amoy_n in_o china_n be_v not_o surprise_v by_o the_o tartar_n of_o which_o there_o be_v a_o doubtful_a report_n in_o india_n when_o the_o last_o ship_n come_v from_o bantam_n and_o within_o seven_o year_n if_o the_o company_n be_v not_o obstruct_v they_o may_v export_v more_o cloth_n yearly_a than_o ever_o the_o turkey_n company_n do_v or_o can_v do_v although_o former_o before_o the_o east-india_n company_n have_v any_o entrance_n into_o the_o trade_n of_o china_n and_o japan_n the_o turkey_n company_n exportation_n of_o cloth_n do_v much_o exceed_v the_o east-india_n company_n 4._o we_o say_v and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v by_o the_o entry_n at_o the_o customhouse_n that_o the_o turkey_n company_n do_v send_v out_o yearly_a beside_o their_o cloth_n great_a quantity_n of_o piece_n of_o eight_o from_o england_n for_o the_o purchase_n of_o their_o raw-silk_n in_o turkey_n as_o well_o as_o great_a quantity_n of_o the_o like_a species_n of_o bullion_n from_o france_n spain_n and_o italy_n which_o otherwise_o will_v come_v for_o england_n second_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a concern_v the_o comparison_n they_o make_v between_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o turkey_n company_n and_o the_o east-india_n company_n we_o say_v there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o print_v and_o publish_v in_o most_o of_o the_o european_a language_n and_o so_o many_o consultation_n and_o debate_n in_o the_o great_a council_n of_o europe_n concern_v joynt-stock_n for_o the_o east-india_n trade_n within_o these_o two_o or_o three_o last_o age_n and_o in_o all_o of_o they_o the_o result_n have_v be_v for_o a_o joint-stock_n that_o we_o think_v it_o will_v be_v impertinent_a to_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o any_o long_a discourse_n concern_v it_o but_o brief_o 1._o it_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o any_o reasonable_a man_n but_o that_o a_o joint-stock_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o far_o great_a extension_n as_o to_o the_o number_n of_o trader_n and_o largeness_n of_o stock_n than_o any_o regulate_v company_n whatsoever_o because_o in_o a_o joint-stock_n nobleman_n gentleman_n shopkeeper_n widow_n and_o orphan_n all_o the_o king_n subject_n of_o any_o profession_n or_o degree_n may_v be_v trader_n and_o employ_v their_o stock_n whereas_o in_o a_o regulate_v company_n such_o as_o the_o turkey_n company_n be_v by_o their_o own_o show_v none_o can_v be_v trader_n but_o such_o as_o they_o call_v legitimate_a or_o breed_v merchant_n 2._o and_o which_o be_v a_o consequence_n of_o the_o former_a reason_n if_o the_o trade_n of_o india_n be_v lay_v open_a the_o adventurer_n for_o india_n will_v certain_o prove_v less_o by_o three_o quarter_n than_o now_o they_o be_v for_o in_o such_o case_n those_o that_o have_v the_o skill_n only_o will_v run_v away_o with_o the_o whole_a trade_n as_o in_o fact_n they_o do_v when_o that_o trade_n be_v open_a about_o five_o and_o twenty_o year_n past_a 3._o though_o some_o few_o man_n have_v great_a adventure_n in_o the_o present_a east-india-stock_n the_o number_n of_o all_o the_o adventurer_n be_v now_o above_o six_o hundred_o person_n very_o many_o new_a one_o have_v come_v in_o of_o late_a 4._o as_o to_o the_o indulge_v trade_n which_o all_o adventurer_n by_o the_o present_a rule_n of_o the_o company_n have_v liberty_n to_o

the_o same_o be_v not_o to_o exceed_v one_o five_o part_n of_o his_o stock_n and_o we_o can_v apprehend_v how_o it_o can_v be_v pretend_v that_o such_o indulge_v trade_n be_v any_o way_n detrimental_a to_o the_o nation_n although_o it_o may_v be_v some_o abatement_n of_o gain_n to_o the_o unite_a stock_n which_o therefore_o the_o great_a adventurer_n in_o the_o committee_n have_v constant_o endeavour_v to_o subdue_v and_o have_v do_v it_o gradual_o every_o year_n per_fw-la saltum_fw-la it_o can_v be_v do_v it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o a_o year_n nor_o of_o a_o age_n or_o two_o to_o build_v up_o a_o east-india_n trade_n to_o perfection_n though_o it_o may_v be_v destroy_v in_o a_o day_n if_o interest_v or_o unthinking_a person_n counsel_n may_v be_v take_v this_o truth_n be_v most_o eminent_o visible_a in_o the_o proceed_n of_o

the_o court_n france_n in_o their_o east-india_n trade_n these_o last_o fourteen_o year_n that_o king_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o east-india-company_n spare_v not_o for_o cost_v to_o

without_o interest_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o company_n do_v yet_o make_v very_o little_a of_o it_o and_o lest_o the_o french_a instance_n aforesaid_a shall_v be_v seem_o obviate_v by_o say_v

lordship_n that_o the_o east-india_n company_n former_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v a_o stock_n of_o fifteen_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n do_v advance_v in_o profit_n but_o twelve_o and_o a_o

we_o know_v of_o no_o one_o adventurer_n that_o have_v sixty_o vote_n at_o this_o time_n but_o most_o reasonable_a it_o be_v as_o have_v be_v ever_o practise_v in_o this_o and_o the_o royal_a
