diuers Princes that had but peace one with the other was so admired and disallowed of Hall Ann. 15. Hen. 8. formerly that Charles the 5 Emperour being moued by the Portugals being vnder their owne absolute King then to forbeare the Eeast Indie Trade because they had found it answered That he had peace with them and therefore he would haue Trade with them for they were not his friends but his enemies that would hinder him of it How much more we murmuring at this iniquity may affirme that we are all Britaines all subiects to one royall King all combined together in one naturall league and therefore not to be barred from trading equally to all places which his gracious Maiesty together with the whole assent of the high Court of Parliament openly professeth Ann. 3.1 Iacob 6. when as there was enacted free liberty for all his Maiesties Subiects to Trade into the Dominions of Spaine Portugall and France with most sufficient reasons therfore for the increase of shipping mariners thousands of Handicrafts men of prices of their owne commodities and augmentation of them together with the plenty of forraine commodities a cheapnesse of them the bettering of his Maiesties customes No one man euer inuented all Sciences nor any Merchant found all places yet they make a compensation one to another Society first beganne and knowledge and ciuility by communication But if the world in his infancy had beene resolued to haue held priuate what they had in possession and to haue concealed what they knew there had not onely been no ciuility but no society Yet as the first maintainers of Society had their honour the first inuentors of Sciences and Arts their rewards and in all well-disposed States the Industries of those that do benefit them haue their encouragements so is not this my proposition of free Trade otherwise entertained then that there should be a due respect had of all worthy aduenturers an especial consideration of the charges and hazard of the first discoueries which the solertious Hollander examples vs by forbidding their owne Subiects to trade to those places which some particular purse hath or shall finde out before that the first Founders haue receiued reasonable benefite of their paines and charges allowing them some sixe returnes to their owne priuate aduentures before any else set thitherward If those aduentures or returnes were increased here for the Finders content and profit there is no man would grudge it But to keepe others out for euer vnlesse they pay and submit themselues according to their order and to their gouernment or vnder the pretence of one place found to include more then was euer meant seemes very iniurious Againe my Proposition is not any way so tumultuous as that thereby I would excuse all order and forme of Gouernment in Trades or otherwise to intend a promiscuous kind of calling or rather confusion of all sorts Who knoweth not that the Common-wealth consisteth Non ex medico medico sed ex medico Agricola as also that there must be an Oeconomicall and discreete partition and proportion among the members Diuers trades to maintaine the generall body Commerce I haue onely poynted at some aberrations but as the Nouice trauelling through strange Countries Topmando or tanquam canis ad Nilum The prosecuting of this Argument would draw on a larger discourse then all the whole former and would then exceed a Corollary and detaine the Reader too long Neither like I the issue of medling when men tire themselues with controuling of publicke matters yet many times cannot manage their owne affaires I make no intrusion into Merchants Mysteries neither desire to pry into the States secrecie It was a foolish complaint of the Poet Cur aliquid vidi it is much more for me to say Cur aliquid scripsi I am so far from giuing any cause of publique offence that I would not iustly prouoke any priuate person I was borne in the Cittie and liue amongst Sea-men And as some Almanacke-makers when they pretend exactnesse in their Calculations though they doe but roue vse to appropriate their obseruations to the place they liue in so I writing with the same knowledge would say I desire good to the Meridian of these two places notwithstanding as they say also These may serue alike to all the Land FINIS
