summary:
  So that in time , if this were not redressed , Ireland would get all the Trade from England ; but if not , 't is better to Trade with them on an Over-Ballance than not at all ; and better to lessen their Markets abroad , than quite to obstruct our furnishing the same : Hence we must either allow Ireland a free Trade with others , to the subversion of the Cloth Trade of England , and the incredible prejudice of the Fishery , and of Trade and Staple Commodities in general ; or by agreement with them on equitable terms , ( hereafter propounded ) get so high a Duty of Customs laid on their Commodities as may , if exported by Foreigners or by themselves , unless to England , render them of equal or rather higher value than the like Commodities in England , and then take off as many of them as we can , and furnish them to others ( after improvement here ) at the second hand , the latter ( if we will avoid our own destruction ) is the choice to be made .

  Jus imponendi vectigana, or, The learning touching customs, tonnage, poundage, and impositions on merchandizes, asserted as well from the rules of the common and civil law, as of generall reason and policy of state / by Sir John Davis ...

summary:
  So Kings were no sooner made by the Law of Nations , but presently the same Law , cum creatus fuerit Rex ei omnia regalia conceduntur , & competit omnibus Regibus jus imponendi quantum habet Begalia , saith Baldus , Vectigalia introduct a sunt à jure , &c. which is the Law of Nature or Nations , Ideo non otiosased favoralia , saith another Doctor , did annex this Prerogative to their several Crowns , Vectigalorigine ipsa jus Caesarum & Regum partimoniale est , saith another , Inhaeret Sceptro saith another ; and therefore when our ancient British Kings took up Customes for Merchandizes transported into France , as Strabo writeth , Britanni vectigalia tollebant gravia earum rerum quas brevi trajectu in Galliam importabant ; Shall we presume they did it by Act of Parliament ? HIS Majesty likewise when he came to be King of England finding his Crown to be seized of this Prerogative , and finding withall the necessary charge of the Crown exceedingly to increase , did for the supportation thereof , not onely continue the Impositions layd by Queen Mary , and Queen Elizabeth , but also layd new Impositions upon sundry sorts of Merchandizes , over and above all Customes and Subsidies formerly due and payable for the same : And these are the Impositions now ; the principal of these is twelve pence upon the pound , or a second poundage set upon Merchandizes as well exported as imported , by Letters Patents 28.
