  Something in answer to Thomas Curtis and B.C.'s reasons why the meeting-house doors were shut up at Reading

summary:
  And whereas T. C. pretends in his Paper to a Power and Authority of shutting up our Meeting-House door , and keeping us out there , upon the score of his being the chief Proprietor , as he is pleased to call himself , and B. C. also calls him ; we answer we know not upon what just ground 〈◊〉 or any other of the Proprietors , should claim a superiority , or chiefship of propriety in the Meeting-House , which was Built by common consent and agreement ( tho B. C. in his fourth reason saith , without distinction , T C. Built it ) and at the common charg of the Friends of Reading , and other places , with what came out of the publick Stock and Rents , for if in common and publick Works and Services joyntly undertaken & performed by any Christian Society or People for their common and publick Christian use , & so declared and settled by and amongst them , the greatest Contributor should afterwards challenge to himself a power and right of disposing the whole ; this were indeed a ready way to introduce a Gentile like Lordship and Usurpation over one another , but would be altogether unlike the Disciples and Followers of Jesus ; but if T. C. did repute himself the chief Proprietor upon the account of his being the largest Contributor , yet since he well knows , that after the Meeting-House was Built and Finished , he did ( because the Lease of the Ground whereon it was Built was taken in his Name ) pass over and legally convey his particular and personal Right and Property therein to certain Friends in Trust , then agreed on by the whole , to receive and keep the same for the whole , he might both in Reason and Modesty have foreborn now to stile himself the cheif Proprietor , and much more from taking upon him as such , to shut up the Meeting-House door , and keep others of the Proprietors out , his telling the Justices that he was chief Proprietor doth not make him so , no more then it did regain the House from the Souldiers that had entered into it ; and if it had never been regained , the loss had been occasioned by him , and his adherence , inasmuch as that Meeting for which the House was seized on , was set up by them , without and against the Consent and Unity of Friends . Benjamin Cole , I Have received thy Paper given ( as thou sayest ) as Reasons why the Meeting House Doors were shut up ; which for my part I look upon as no good or sufficient Reasons at all , neither can any good or sufficient reason be giving for us ( or indeed for a any people ) to take away or detain one anothers Rights from them , or to do one another any Wrong or Injury , which is wholly out of the way , and inconsistant with the Truth which leads to overcome Evil with Good , and such who walk in the path of it , their Weapons are not Carnal , but Spiritual , and can do no violence to any mans Person , State or Interest , neither forcibly or unjustly detain either of them , which are the effects of the Carnal , and not the Spiritual .

  To the Right Honourable and Honourable the Lords Commissioners of His Majesties treasury Sir William Creagh ...

summary:
  Sir WILLIAM CREAGH of Newcastle upon Tine , Most humbly sheweth , THAT taking notice of the great inequality of the Customs in England and Scotland , on COALS transported beyond the Seas , by which His Majesties Revenue ( as to that Branch ) is much impaired , the English Navigation in a great measure discouraged , and that antient Corporation of Newcastle in danger of being ruin'd : He thought it his Duty , to let slip no opportunity whereby he might be instrumental to stop the current of so great Evils . THE said William Creagh saith , That a Company of French Merchants of the City of Rouen in the Kingdom of France , about Three Months ago , writ him , that they made a Contract with the French Farmers , to import great Quantities of Coals into the River of Rouen by English Shipping , and thereupon gave the said Creagh orders to Freight ( with all possible speed ) as many English Ships as could take in 800 Chalders of Coals , declaring , that the next Spring and Summer they would import as many Coals to the said River of Rouen , and continue yearly so to do , as would supply the whole Kingdom of France ; whereupon , and in pursuance of the said Order , the said Creagh freighted Nine Ships of considerable Burthen , and loaded them off ; but before he could compleat Shipping the said Number of 800 Chalders of Coals , he receives a Letter from the said Company , acquainting him , that the Truce being then as good as ratified betwixt France and Spain , their French Ships which formerly used to come for Coals to Newcastle , were then all going for Scotland , by reason of the great Discouragement they met with at Newcastle by the high Duties and Tonage there , which on French Ships is 30 s. sterling per Chalder , on Dutch Ships 20s .
