A32839	A treatise wherein is demonstrated, I. That the East-India trade is the most national of all foreign trades, II. That the clamors, aspersions, and objections made against the present East-India company, are sinister, selfish, or groundless, III. That since the discovery of the East-Indies, the dominion of the sea depends much upon the wane or increase of that trade, and consequently the security of the liberty, property, and protestant religion of this kingdom, IV. That the trade of the East-Indies cannot be carried on to national advantage, in any other way than by a general joynt stock, V. That the East-India trade is more profitable and necessary to the kingdom of England, than to any other kingdom or nation in Europe by Philopatris.	Child, Josiah, Sir, 1630-1699.	1681 (1681)	Wing C3866; ESTC R19413	24,211	48

of_o the_o same_o force_n as_o act_n of_o parliament_n with_o we_o 18._o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o a_o joint_a stock_n in_o all_o foreign_a trade_n where_o the_o trade_n must_v be_v

shall_v now_o return_v to_o what_o be_v propose_v to_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o title_n page_n viz._n i._o that_o the_o east-india_n trade_n be_v the_o most_o national_a of_o all_o foreign_a trade_n which_o i_o prove_v thus_o viz._n 1._o what_o the_o dutch_a french_a dane_n portugal_n and_o which_o not_o long_o since_o the_o swede_n and_o now_o the_o d._n of_o brandenburg_n have_v with_o so_o

alone_o furnish_v we_o with_o saltpetre_n a_o commodity_n so_o necessary_a that_o in_o the_o late_a king_n time_n the_o nation_n suffer_v great_o by_o the_o want_n of_o it_o as_o be_v too_o well_o know_v and_o remember_v 4._o above_o four_o five_o part_n of_o the_o commodity_n import_v by_o this_o trade_n be_v again_o export_v into_o foreign_a part_n by_o which_o the_o navigation_n and_o

notwithstanding_o any_o law_n to_o the_o contrary_a will_v come_v in_o from_o holland_n as_o the_o french_a silk_n now_o do_v with_o this_o difference_n only_o then_o we_o shall_v pay_v as_o much_o
