  But thanks bee to Almightie God who doth alwayes protect the innocent : This Declaration of the Hollanders entended and published for our vtter vn doing and disgrace , offereth vnto vs in two respects both hope and helpe , so that wee may say to the Hollanders as the primatiue Christians said of Iulian the Apostata ; Voluntatem nocendi habes , potestatem auiem non habes Iuliani : We vnderstand your intents O Hollanders , to ouerthrow vs , but you want power , wee doe not meane your Sea power ( which is too potent ) but we meane of your malice , which is by the iudgement of God vtterly confounded : if in this Declaration of yours , your will and malice had ioyned in equall power , wee the oppressed English might haue for borne to haue complained of our wrongs , with shame & confusion ; of whom or what should we complaine , if our selues vrged , prouoked and deserued our owne misfortunes . Let all such who harbour any such conceits , reade and consider what is before answered to such obiections : the Hollanders in their declaration being charged in the two first Currants , with may of these extreame wrongs inflicted vpon the English , they make no deniall of them : make a chalenge that the English did ayde and assist the Bandineses against them ; it hath formerly bene alleaged , and sufficiently proued , by their owne confession , that the English did not maintaine the Ileanders , by way of opposing against the Hollanders , but they did as much as in them lay , to defend the right of the King of England , they did defend that right which they had by consent , they did defend that people , who did so freely , and friendly trade and trafficke with them , other causes then their so honest , so iust agreeing with the Lawes of God , of nature , and Nations , they neither do or can alleadge any : some other inconsiderat people , who enuy the prosperity of the East-Indian Merchants will further say , to cloase with the Hollanders , that these extremities were offered in India , onely and no where else to the English , for proffe of the contrary , wee of the East-Indian Company do chalenge all the Merchants which trauaile or trafficke East , VVest , North , or South , to deliuer their knowledge what indignities they haue endured from the Hollanders in Turkey , in the Straights , in Moscony , in Groynland , at Neusoundland ; and where not so that not onely the East-Indian Company hath onely cause to complaine : yea , they wrong Englishmen in their owne seas , at home , as is generally knowne : Now because Hollanders may say , that they are charged with generalities , without perticular instances .

  Trade yet more advantageous to the Kingdom in some respects , than at present it is , are chiefly the Trades to China and Iapan ; at which places were our Trade once well setled , in all likelyhood more considerable quantities of our Woollen-Manufactures might be there vended , and from thence in return thereof , both Gold , Silver , and Copper might be brought to supply at least ( in a great measure ) the Trade in other parts of India ; without carrying out so much from Europe : He would have the English Merchant to buy dear , and sell cheap ; to buy Cloth dear of the Clothier , and sell Callico cheap to the Linnen-Draper ; and he desires a freedom of Trade , that the multiplicity of Buyers for the one , and of Sellers for the other , might effect it ; and thereby ( as he would have us believe ) the Kingdom would be enriched ;

  upon a War or Difference between the King of Coelon & the Portugals there Inhabiting ; The Hollanders Vpperland States of their Vnited Provinces of Battavia , Amboynia , Tewan , &c. neglecting no opportunity to advance their foresaid designs of Conquest and Trade Complied with , and assi●ted the for●said King against the said Por●ugals ( being very antient in●abitants there ) and undoubtedly it was that very same Fleet going upon th●t occasion to Coelon ( before the Dragon and Catherine set saile for England ) that extinguished , and most barbarously destroyed both those two ●hips and Men , according to the several Relations of English , Portugals , and Dutch , &c. And that done ; Then the said Fleet proceeded upon their design at Coelon aforesaid , where in few years after , they conquered and vanquished the foresaid Portugals both by Sea and Land , and took and surpriz'd all thrir ships and goods ( with their chief Town or City of Collombo and the rest ) with all their Castles , Fortifications and Houses or Towns , with all the Good● and Treasure ; Ordinance , Amunition and Appurtinances , therein and thereto belonging , and so quickly possest and dispatcht the Riches and Subjects of two Eminent Kings in Europe out of their way ; and the third , the King of the said Island and his Subjects escaped not altogether free ; For ( by good report ) when the said King desired to know their demands for their assi●tance , and the same being produced , the said King was thereat much amazed and said , that he and all his Subjects were not worth the one half or quarter of what the said Hollanders demanded , ( notwithstanding the exceeding great plunder and booty taken from the English and Portugals aforesaid ? And so the said King being altogether unable to sati●fie their said demands in any reasonable measure ( and to be rid of them , as he once well hoped , but they never intended ) prosecuting the said discovery set forth Fleet after Fleet , and the English shortly after them and both of them discovering and arriving at the aforesaid Islands , and other places in the South Seas , as China , Iapan , &c. but made their Rendevouz upon Iava major , the English at ●antum ( a place formerly possest and walled about with bricks by the Portuguez , but the Natives had expelled them : ) the Dutch at Iaccatra , a small Village of Fishermen with a little Fort taken by the Dutch from the Natives and afterwards taken by Sir Thomas Dale from the Dutch , whom the Natives demanded to be their prisoners , but Sir Thomas aforesaid would not deliver a Christian into a Heathens hand , and thereupon gave the Dutch again possession of the Fort , and bid them fight for their lives , and left them ; which now is become a Famous and Metropolitan City called ●attavia , or new Holland ;

  The defence of trade In a letter to Sir Thomas Smith Knight, gouernour of the East-India Companie, &c. From one of that societie.

summary:
  But alas ! shée was but shewne , out of a cruell destinie shée was ouertaken with an vntimely death in her youth and strength , being deuoured by those Iron Wormes of that Countrie , that pierced her heart , and brake many a mans withal memorable in her misfortune , onely redounding to the Common-wealthes losse . The last cōsistance of shipping propounded , was that of the East Indies : which though yongest , was found in shew and state to haue ouer-topped all the rest ; as a Bird that maketh her selfe gay with the feathers of all other Foules ; hauing borrowed , nay , hauing bought the best ships out of other Trades to honour their Uoyage , and plumed euen Constantinople her self , of her shipping : therefore that men are entertained extraordinarily in this Uoyage , it is apparant out of the greatnesse of the shipping ; the entertainment of them increasing , if should be a consequent that Sea-men increase this way : But that we may not by ambages triumph in their losse , or our calamities , we sée this way that our shippes perish , and therefore our men they shrinke , Nay , though ships come home , yet then leaue the men behind : so in this Uoyage , there is a two-fold way towards our want of Marmers .

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.

  The Argument of the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench concerning the great case of monopolies, between the East-India Company, plantiff, and Thomas Sandys, defendant wherein their patent for trading to the East-Indies, exclusive of all others, is adjudged good.

summary:
  yet he may make an Alien a Denizen , and by that means he becomes to have as much priviledg as any of the King 's natural Subjects hath , as to Trade and Commerce , which is the onely question now before us ; and I cannot help being of Opinion , that this Kingdom was in greater regard abroad , and the Inhabitants thereof more prosperous at home , when the Prerogative of the Crown was more absolute than now it is ; therefore it is our Duty as good Judges as well as good Subjects , to endeavour to support it as much as we can by Law. If the King proclaims a War with any Country , which is a general Prohibition of Trade , and should order , that John a Styles , or a dozen or any greater number of his Subjects , &c. and give them Instructions to treat for a Peace , and the Persons so appointed should carry on a Trade , would not Mr. Sands , do you think , have as much reason to murmur , that he was none of those Ambassadors , as he has now by being not comprized within the Charters ? And would it not be thought an Arrogancy and Sauciness in him to demand an account of the Instruction given by the King to such Ambassadors ? or durst he Trade there till a Peace were proclaimed with that Country ? And the gloss upon that Law says Mercatores non faciant inter Monopolium de re non vendenda nisi pro certo pretio , vel de non exercendo officium nisi per eos recipiatur Officiales & Socios : Possunt tamen haec facere cum consensu & scientia Regis & contra facientes perpetuo exulabunt , & eorum bona Regi applicantur . Ex Privilegio ergo Regis possunt similiter & Consuetudine vel praescriptione , quia quod Privilegio acquiritur , etiam praescriptione acquiri potest .
