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

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

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

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
