A47406	C. K., Unfeigned and hearty lover of England.	Some seasonable and modest thoughts, partly occasioned by, and partly concerning the Scots East-India Company humbly offered to R.H. Esq., a member of the present Parliament / by an unfeigned and hearty lover of England.	1696.0		.xml	application/xml	14730	194	13	For tho it be inconsistent , both with the Wisdom and the Justice of the Government of England , and also with the Rights and Liberties of the People , to erect all Traders into every Place , into Companies , exclusive of other English Natives and Freemen , to Traffick thither , where the Trade may be effectually and advantageously carried on by single Dealers , or by voluntary Associations , seeing such incorporated Societies would be so many Monopolies , which are Nusances in a Countrey where the Ends of Commerce may be otherwise compassed and obtained ; yet it hath always been the Prudence of the Government , to devolve Trade unto such Places upon an Incorporated Company , where it could neither be protected nor enlarged , save by a Society trading and acting on a Joint Stock . But then , Sir , allow me to add in the second place , that the Scots were for many Years , after the English and they came under One Soveraign , treated with that Equality and Indulgence , with reference to the mutual Traffick of the Kingdoms , or at least with that Respect and Fairness , that the Scots had not that Cause and Occasion administred unto them , of establishing and pursuing Trade upon a separate and distinct Bottom of their own , as they have had for these several late Years , and still have ; in that upon the two Nations first coming to be the Subjects of one and the same King , besides the Prospect which the Scots had , and the Hopes that were given them , that the two Kingdoms should be so cemented and united , as to become equally interested and vested in the same civil and political Liberties , Rights and Privileges , they had in the mean time immediately granted unto them ( by the Concession and Adjustment of the Commissioners of both Nations , who soon after King James the First had attained to the Crown of England , were called and authorized to meet and sit about the debating and perfecting a compleat Vnion between the two Kingdoms ) that the Scots should be under no Restrictions in matter of Trade more than the English were , save that they were to stand prohibited from the Exportation of Wool , and a few other English Productions .	cache/A47406.xml	txt/A47406.txt
