and　Sealing　of　Cloth；　or　in　the　Transportation　of　the　Materials
  of　our　Cloth　before　mentioned。　In　the　former　of　these；　the
  Merchants　Adventurers　can　give　you　an　account　of　Ten　thousand
  pounds　a　year　at　least　losse　to　this　Common…wealth；　by　the　Tare
  or　abatements　upon　the　Cloth　in　forreine　parts；　for　the　false
  making　and　sealing　thereof：　Besides　the　other　Effects　of　the
  decay　of　the　Drapery　it　selfe；　and　other　Trades　depending
  thereon；　the　losse　whereof　is　unvaluable。　In　the　latter；　every
  man　is　sensible　of　the　losse　to　the　Common…wealth；　in　robbing　it
  of　the　Materials：　whereby　not　onely　our　Draperies　are　Impaired；
  but　the　Forreine　also　are　thereby　much　Improved。
  Also　the　want　of　restraint　of　the　Excesse　of　the　Kingdome；　in
  Usuary　and　Prodigality：　the　one　being　a　Viper　in　a　Kingdome　that
  gnaweth　through　the　bowels　thereof：　the　other　a　Canker　that
  fretteth　and　wasteth　the　stocke；　in　spending　the　forreine　wares；
  more　then　it　venteth　of　our　owne：　both　and　either　doe　produce

  Or　Passive；　in　the　ill　Effects　that　fall　upon　the　Kingdome；
  in　things　done　to　us　by　others。　And　that　either　by　Friends　or
  Foes。　the　former　is　done　by　Imposition；　or　Usurpation。　By
  Imposition；　in　the　Merchants　Adventurers　Trade　in　Holland：　where
  there　is　lately　taxed　upon　a　Pack　Cloth　9　Gilders；　and　upon　a
  long　Cloth　18　Gilders；　and　upon　a　fine　Cloth　14　Gilders；　which　is
  18；　36　and　48　shillings　of　our　money。　And　yet　neverthelesse　they
  free　their　own　Countrey　Cloth　of　all　manner　of　charge；　nay；　they
  give　encouragement　to　the　makers　thereof　by　many　Priviledged　and
  Immunities：　whereby　it　is　more　then　manifest　that　they　do　what　in
  them　lyeth；　to　Plant　their　owne　Draperies；　and　to　supplant　ours；
  to　the　infinit　disadvantage　of　this　Kingdome。
  By　Usurpation；　those　Friends　of　ours；　deprive　us　of　our　East
  India　Trade　and　Fishing；　which　here　again　occurre；　and　offer
  themselves　for　this　purpose　also。　By　the　former；　the
  Common…wealth　hath　not　onley　been　dispossest　all　this　while　of　so
  great　a　stock；　as　is　that　of　the　East　India　Company；　but　of　the
  employment　and　excrease　of　Trade　also；　that　thereby　in　all　this
  time　would　have　accrewed　unto　this　Kingdome。　And　it　is　to　be
  feared；　that　their　policy　is　not　onely　to　derpive　the　Company　of
  their　Stocke；　but　the　Kingdome　also　of　the　Trade：　which　they
  thinke　too　great　and　glorious　a　Fortune　for　this　Common…welath　to
  enjoy；　and　the　onley　hope　of　their's。　And　hence　it　is　that　the
  Restituion　is　so　hard　to　be　had；　because　they　think　by　detaining
  it；　and　spinning　out　the　time；　they　shall　in　time　weary　and　weare
  us　out　of　that　Trade：　And　so　in　the　meane　while；　by　Plowing　up
  htose　Indian　Seas　and　Soyle　with　our　Heifers；　they　may　at　last
  Reape　all　the　Harvest；　and　possesse　and　dispossesse　at　their　owne
  pleasure；　to　the　wonderfull　enriching　of　their　Common…wealth；　and
  the　impoverishing　of　ours。
  By　the　latter；　to　wit；　their　Fishing　upon　our　Coasts；　the
  Common…wealth　looseth　that　which　they　gaine：　which　is　merveilous
  increase　of　Trade；　of　Shippes；　and　Marriners。　Whereby　their
  Navigation　is　mightily　Strengthened；　their　Marriners　multiplyed；
  and　their　Trade　encreased：　Of　all　which　this　Common…wealth　is
  deprived；　and　their's　enriched。
  By　Foes　also　this　Common…wealth　is　lamentably　Passive；　in　the
  cruelty　done　by　Turkish　Pirats　upon　Men　and　Shippes；　and　Goods。
  The　griefe　is　lamentable；　the　losse　intollerable。
  Lastly；　there　are　ill　Effects　that　fal　upon　the　Common…wealth
  in　the　Forme　of　Trade：　and　that　in　respect　of　Monopolies；　or
  Ungoverned　Trade。　Byt　the　former；　this　Common…wealth　is　deprived
  of　that　true　liberty　of　Trade；　which　belongeth　to　all　the
  subjects：　when　the　Commodity　of　some　few；　is　preferred　to　the
  publique　good。
  By　the　latter；　which　is　most　remarquable　in　the　Trade　of　His
  Majesties　subjects　into　the　Domminos　of　the　King　of　Spaine；　and
  the　Mediterrean　Sea；　the　Trade　of　this　Kingdome　consisting　in
  Bayes；　Perpetuanoes；　Kersies；　Waxe；　Tinne；　Lead；　and　other　the
  Native　Commodities　of　this　Kingdome；　is　betrayed　into　the　hands；
  both　of　those　with　whom　we　are　in　Amitie；　and　others　that　are
  with　us　in　Enmity。　The　one　taketh　advantage　of　our
  unmerchant…like　courses　for　lacke　of　Order：　The　other；　of　our
  Shippes　sent　foorth　stragling　for　lacke　of　Fleets：　and　both
  through　want　of　Government　in　Trade。　Whereby　the　Perpetuanoes　and
  other　new　Draperies　have　by　little　and　little　bin　made　worse　and
  worse；　so　that　now　they　are　become　quite　out　of　use；　the　Trade
  lost；　the　Traders　ruinated；　the　Manufactures　by　other　Nations
  supplied；　the　Navigation　hindered；　by　the　losse　of　many　worthy
  men；　and　Serviceable　Shippes：　In　all　which；　the　Decay　of　Trade　is
  exceeding　Great；　the　Common…wealth's　losse　Infinite。
  Cap。　VII。
  Of　the　Remedy　for　all　the　former　Causes　of　decay　of　Trade。
  Having　shewed　the　many　and　manifold　Causes　of　the　decay　of
  Trade　in　the　Matter　and　Forme　thereof：　It　remaineth　now　to
  present　the　Remedy。　Which　according　to　the　precedent　Method；　I
  will　apply　unto　all　the　particulers　in　their　order。　Onely　the
  Remedies　for　the　Effects；　I　shall　present　in　the　Causes：　for　the
  Causes　being　removed；　the　Effects　must　needs　cease；　according　to
  the　common　Maxime　in　Philosophy；　Sublata　causa　tollitur　effectus。
  In　my　former　distribution　I　considered　the　Causes　of　the
  decay　of　Trade；　in　the　Matter　and　Forme　thereof：　and　in　the
  Matter　I　insisted　on　Money　and　Merchandize。　The　Causes　of　the
  want　of　money；　I　shewed　some　to　be　Immediat；　some　Mediat　or
  remote。　the　Immediat　Causes；　I　noted　to　be　such；　as　either　hinder
  the　Importation；　or　such　as　cause　the　Exportation；　and　both　in
  the　Under…valuation　of　His　Majesties　Coine。　The　Remedy　offer's　it
  selfe；　which　is　double。　First；　how　it　may　be　got：　and　next　how　it
  may　be　kept。　The　former　may　be　done　two　wayes：　By　Raising　of　the
  Kings　Coine；　and　by　making　current　Forreine　Coines　at　equall
  value。　The　latter；　also　may　be　done　two　wayes：　By　another　manner
  of　Execution　of　the　Statute　for　Employments　then　heretofore：
  wherein　there　is　some　reason　not　to　expresse　my　selfe　as　I　might：
  And　by　His　Majesties　Princely　and　Prudent　Negotiation；　with　the
  Princes　of　our　Neighbour　Countries；　the　States　of　the　united
  Provinces　especially；　to　keepe　a　more　constant　course　in　the
  values　of　their　Coines。　Neither　of　which　can　be　done　by　the　Par
  of　Exchange；　which　is　now　again　in　agitation；　and　hath　taken　more
  then　twenty　yeeres　to　bring　it　to　perfection。　Wherein；　absit
  invidia　verbo；　that　I　say；　there　is　neither　Parity；　nor
  Purity。For　it　is　not　the　rate　of　Exchanges；　but　the　value　of
  monies；　here　lowe；　elsewhere　high；　which　cause　their　Exportation：
  nor　doe　the　Exchanges；　but　the　plenty　or　scarcity　of　monies　cause
  their　values。　Or　if　I　should　grant　that　to　be　the　cause　which　is
  not：　yet　it　doth　not　follow；　that　because　the　Stranger；　like
  enough；　would　be　a　deliverer　heere　of　money　at　a　high　rate；　that
  therefore　the　English　must　take　it。　And　then　the　consequence　will
  be　ill：　for　if　the　rate　be　such　as　the　Taker　like　not；　then　the
  Deliverer　is　yet　more　thrust　upon　the　exportation。　But　this　I
  leave　to　those　to　whom　this　project　is　committed；　with　this；　that
  this　opinion　seemes　to　be　ciusden　farinae；　with　another　of　his；
  in　his　Canker　of　Englands　Commonwealth；　in　these　words：　〃And　it
  were　to　be　wished；　that　our　Cloth　were　sold　at　so　deare　a　rate；
  and　according　to　the　price　of　forreine　Commodities；　that　thereby
  other　nations　would　take　upon　them　to　make　our　Clothes
  themselves：　which　might　easily　bee　remedied；　by　selling　our
  woolles　the　dearer；　whereof　they　must　make　them。〃　Which　seemes　to
  have　in　it　much　more　Dutch　then　English；　to　deprive　this　Kingdome
  of　so　Royall　a　Manufacture；　whereby　so　many　thousands　of　poore
  families；　ae　maintained　in　the　same：　as　if　hee　would　cure　one
  Canker　with　another；　contrary　to　our　Saviours　Argument；　that
  Satan　cannot　cast　out　Satan。　But　I　returne　to　mine　owne　Station：
  and　therein　to　answer　the　objections　that　doe　occurre　the　raising
  of　Money：　which　are　wont　to　be　principally；　either　the　continuall
  Raising　of　it；　to　follow　the　Rising　of　forreine　Coine；　or　else
  the　inevitable　losse　that　thereby　will　fall；　Generally　upon　all
  men　in　the　endearing　of　all　things；　and　Particularly　upon
  Landlords　and　Creditors；　in　their　rents　and　contracts。
  For　the　continuall　Raising　of　the　Coine；　that　will　be
  needlesse；　if　the　meanes　be　sufficient　for　executing　the　Statute
  for　employments；　whereby　the　Money　may　be　kept　within　the　land
  when　we　have　it。　And　for　the　dearnesse　of　things；　which　the
  Raising　of　Money　bringeth　with　it；　that　will　be　abundantly
  recompensed　unto　all　in　the　plenty　of　Money；　and　quickning　of
  Trade　in　every　mans　hand。　And　that　which　is　equall　to　all；　when
  hee　that　buye's　deare　shall　sell　deare；　cannot　bee　said　to　be
  injurius　unto　any。　And　it　is　much　better　for　the　Kingdome；　to
  have　things　deare　with　plenty　of　Money；　whereby　men　may　live　in
  their　severall　callings：　then　to　have　things　cheape　with　want　of
  Money；　which　now　makes　every　man　complain
