The
Answere
.
THe
matter
of
this
Obiection
is
very
waighty
;
and
therefore
,
it
ought
to
be
answered
fully
;
the
which
that
I
may
the
better
performe
,
I
will
diuide
the
fame
into
three
parts
.
1
In
the
first
,
I
will
consider
,
the
necessarie
vse
of
the
wares
,
which
are
vsually
brought
out
of
East-India
into
Europe
;
namely
,
Druggs
,
Spices
,
Rawsilke
,
Indicoe
,
and
Callicoes
.
2
In
the
Second
;
I
will
intimate
the
manner
and
meanes
,
by
which
the
said
wares
haue
beene
heretofore
,
and
now
are
brought
into
Europe
.
3
In
the
Third
and
last
;
I
will
proue
,
that
the
Treasure
of
England
,
is
not
consumed
,
but
rather
greatly
to
be
increased
by
the
performance
of
the
said
Trade
.
Touching
the
First
;
Who
is
so
ignorant
,
in
any
famous
common
wealth
,
The
First
part
concerneth
the
vse
of
Indian
wares
.
which
will
not
consent
to
the
moderate
vse
of
wholesome
Druggs
and
comfortable
Spices
?
Which
,
haue
beene
so
much
desired
in
all
times
,
and
by
so
many
Nations
;
not
thereby
to
surfeit
,
or
to
please
a
lickorish
tast
(
as
it
often
happeneth
,
with
many
other
fruites
and
wines
)
but
rather
as
things
most
necessarie
to
preserue
their
health
,
and
to
cure
their
diseases
;
euen
as
it
is
most
notably
set
forth
,
Sir
.
Thomas
Elyot
his
Castle
of
health
.
Rembert
Dodoneus
his
history
of
Plants
.
The
French
Academy
second
part
,
and
others
.
by
some
learned
men
,
who
haue
vndertaken
,
to
write
vpon
this
subiect
;
and
therefore
;
it
shall
be
altogether
needlesse
heere
to
discourse
vpon
their
seuerall
operations
and
vertues
,
seeing
that
,
he
that
listeth
,
may
be
well
instructed
therein
,
if
hee
will
peruse
the
volumes
,
which
are
penned
by
the
learned
,
for
the
benefit
of
all
those
,
who
shall
make
vse
thereof
.
But
if
peraduenture
,
it
be
yet
further
vrged
;
that
diuers
Nations
,
liue
without
the
vse
of
Druggs
and
Spices
:
the
answer
is
,
That
either
such
people
know
not
their
vertue
;
and
therefore
,
suffer
much
by
the
want
of
wares
so
healthfull
;
or
else
,
they
are
most
miserable
;
being
without
meanes
to
obtaine
the
thinges
,
which
they
so
much
want
;
but
sithence
I
intend
to
be
breife
,
I
will
insist
no
further
vpon
this
point
;
For
the
Obiecters
might
aswell
deny
vs
the
vse
of
Sugars
,
Wynes
,
Oyles
,
Raysons
,
Figgs
,
Prunes
,
and
Currandes
;
and
with
farre
more
reason
exclaime
against
Tobacco
,
Cloth
of
gold
and
Siluer
,
Lawnes
,
Cambricks
,
Gold
and
Siluer
lace
,
Veluets
,
Sattens
,
Taffaeties
and
diuers
others
manifactures
,
yearely
brought
into
this
Realme
,
for
an
infinite
value
;
all
which
as
it
is
most
true
,
that
whilest
we
consume
them
,
they
likewise
deuoure
our
wealth
;
yet
neuerthelesse
,
the
moderate
vse
of
all
these
wares
hath
euer
suted
well
with
the
riches
and
Maiestie
of
this
Kingdome
.
But
I
will
come
to
the
Raw-silkes
and
Indico
;
this
being
so
excellent
for
the
dying
of
our
woollen-cloathes
,
thereby
so
much
esteemed
in
so
many
places
of
the
world
;
that
ornament
,
together
with
the
great
reliefe
and
maintenance
of
so
many
hundreds
of
poore
people
;
who
are
continuallie
imployed
,
in
the
winding
,
twisting
,
and
weauing
of
the
same
;
Insomuch
,
that
by
the
cherishing
of
this
busines
(
as
his
Maiestie
,
for
his
parte
is
graciouslie
pleased
to
performe
,
in
remitting
the
impost
of
Silke
)
it
may
well
be
hoped
,
that
in
short
time
,
Italy
.
industrie
will
make
the
arte
to
flourish
,
with
no
lesse
happinesse
to
this
Kingdome
,
then
it
hath
done
(
through
many
ages
)
to
diuerse
states
in
Italy
,
and
latelie
also
to
the
Kingdome
of
France
,
and
to
the
vnited
Prouinces
of
the
Low
countries
.
Now
as
touching
the
Trade
of
Callicoes
,
of
many
sortes
,
into
which
the
English
lately
made
an
entrance
;
although
it
cannot
be
truely
sayd
,
that
this
commoditie
is
ptoffitable
,
for
the
state
of
Christendome
in
generall
(
in
respect
they
are
the
manifacture
of
Infidells
,
and
in
great
part
the
weare
of
Christans
)
yet
neuerthelesse
,
and
other
Countries
.
this
commoditie
,
likewise
is
of
singuler
vse
,
for
this
common
wealth
in
particuler
;
not
onelie
therewith
to
increase
the
Trade
into
forren
parts
;
but
also
thereby
,
greatly
to
abate
the
excessiue
prices
of
Cambricks
,
Holland
,
and
other
sorts
of
Linnen-cloath
;
which
daily
are
brought
into
this
Kingdom
for
a
verie
great
summe
of
mony
.
And
this
shall
suffice
concerning
the
necessarie
vse
of
the
Indian
wares
;
The
Second
part
Sheweth
the
manner
&
the
meanes
by
which
Indian
wares
haue
beene
and
now
are
brought
into
Europe
.
In
the
next
place
,
I
will
set
forth
the
manner
and
meanes
of
their
importing
into
Europe
.
It
is
an
errour
in
those
men
;
who
thinke
that
the
Trade
of
the
East-Indies
into
Europe
had
first
entrance
,
by
the
discouerie
of
the
Nauigation
by
the
Cape
of
Good-hope
.
For
many
yeares
before
that
time
,
the
traffique
of
those
parts
,
had
his
ordinary
course
by
shipping
from
diuerse
places
in
the
Indies
;
yearely
resorting
with
their
wares
to
Mocha
in
the
Red-Sea
,
and
Balsera
in
the
Persian-Gulfe
:
From
both
which
places
,
the
Merchandize
(
with
great
charges
)
were
after
transported
ouerland
by
the
Turkes
vpon
Cammells

,
vnto
Aleppo

,
and
to
Alexandria

,
(
which
are
the
Mart
Townes
,
from
whence
diuerse
Nations
,
as
well
Turkes
,
as
Christians
,
doe
continually
disperse
the
sayd
wares
by
Sea
into
the
partes
of
Europe
:
)
by
which
course
,
the
common
enemie
of
Christendome
(
the
Turke
)
was
Maister
of
the
Trade
;
which
did

and
also

,
which
he
exacted
at
very
high
rates
;
But
by
the
prouidence
of
almightie
God
,
the
discouerie
of
that
Nauigation
,
to
the
East-Indies
by
the
Cape
of
Goodhope
(
now
somuch
frequented
by
the
English
,
Portingalls
,
and
Dutche
;
and
also
attempted
,
by
other
Christian
Kingdomes
)
hath
not
onely
much
decayed
the
great
commerce
,
betweene
the
Indians
and
the
Turkes
in
the
Red
Sea
;
and
in
the
Persian
Gulfe
(
to
their
infinite
hurt
,
and
to
the
great
increase
of
Christian
trade
,
)
but
it
hath
also
brought
a
further
happinesse
vnto
Christendome
in
generall
,
and
to
the
Realme
of
England
in
particular
,
for
the
venting
of
more
English
commodities
;
and
for
exporting
of
a
lesse
quantitie
of
siluer
out
of
Europe
,
vnto
the
Infidells
,
by
many
thousand
poundes
yearely
,
then
hath
beene
accustomed
in

times
;
as
I
shall
proue
most
plainlie
by
that
which
followeth
.
And
First
,
it
will
be
necessarie
to
set
downe
the
quantitie
of
Spices
,
Indico
,
and
Persian
Raw-silke
(
which
is
yearely
consumed
in

)
and
in
them
all
to

with

and

the

wares
,
as
they

from

So
that
by
the
substance
,
and
summes
of
these
accompts
,
it
doth
plainely
appeare
,
that
the
buying
of
the
said
quantitie
of
Raw-silkes
,
Indico
,
and
Spices
,
may
be
performed
in
the
Indies
,
for
neare
one
third
part
of
the
ready
moneyes
,
which
were
accustomed
to
be
sent
into
Turkey
to
prouide
the
same
;
And
principallie
,
it
must
not
bee
conceiued
,
that
this
great
aduantage
,
which
hath
beene
spoken
of
▪
is
onely
the
Merchants
gaine
;
for
the
Common-wealth
of
Christendoe
,
hath
a
very
great
part
thereof
in
the
cheapnes
of
the
wares
,
as
shall
be
(
God
willing
)
proued
hereafter
in
his
due
place
.
Secondly
,
the
time
of
the
Merchants
forbearance
,
and
interest
,
is
verie
long
:
his
aduenture
and
assurance
much
dearer
;
his
charges
of
shipping
,
victuals
,
Marriners
,
and
factors
their
wages
,
far
greater
,
then
by
the
voyage
into
Turkey
for
the
same
wares
;
so
that
the
former
great
difference
must
be
vnderstood
in
these
particulers
;
whereby
we
may
perceiue
to
our
comfort
,
that
the
Materialls
of
the
kingdome
,
and
the
imployments
of
the
subiects
(
in
liew
of
readie
moneies
)
becomes
a
verie
great
part
of
the
price
which
is
paid
for
the
said
Indian
wares
;
East-Indies
,
will
require
thirty
and
fiue
shillings
for
all
charges
whatsoeuer
to
deliuer
it
in
London
.
which
cannot
hurt
the
State
(
as
some
erroniously
suppose
)
but
greatly
helpe
it
,
as
I
shal
better
proue
in
that
which
followeth
.
First
therefore
,
I
shew
for
an
vndoubted
truth
,
That
the
Persians
,
Moores
and
Indians
,
who
trade
with
the
Turkes
,
at
Aleppo
,
Mocha
,
and
Alexandria
,
for
Raw-silkes
,
Drugs
,
Spices
,
Indico
and
Callicoes
;
haue
alwaies
made
,
and
still
doe
make
,
their
returnes
in
readie
monie
:
for
other
wares
,
there
are
but
few
which
they
desire
from
forren
partes
;
some
Chamblets
,
Corrall
,
wrought
silke
,
woollen-cloth
,
with
some
trifles
,
they
doe
yearely
vent
in
all
,
not
for
aboue
40.
or
50.
thousand
pounds
starling
;
Turkey
.
which
is
no
valuable
summ
in
respect
of
that
wealth
which
is
carried
from
Aleppo
and
Constantinople
into
Persia
for
Raw-silkes
,
when
least
,
500000.
poundes
starling
Per
annum
:
and
from
Mocha
about
600000.
pounds
starling
(
likewise
yearely
into
India
)
for
returne
of
Callicoes
,
Drugs
,
Sugar
,
Rice
,
Tobacco
,
and
diuerse
other
things
.
So
here
is
still
a
very
great
Commerce
maintained
betweene
those
Infidels
;
not
onely
for
the
Callicoes
of
many
sortes
,
and
other
wares
(
which
concerne
their
owne
vse
)
but
also
for
the
Raw-silkes
of
Persia
,
which
are
altogether
transported
into
Christendome
.
How
worthy
an
enterprise
is
it
therefore
in
the
English
East-India
Companie
?
by
whose
endeauours
,
there
is
now
good
hope
to
turne
a
great
part
of
this
wealthy
Trade
into
England
,
by
shipping
directlie
from
the
Persian-Gulfe
,
whereby
the
imployments
,
Turkes
,
may
be
still
more
and
more
impaired
;
&
the
generall
Treasure
of
Christendome
?
much
lesse
consumed
;
as
is
alreadie
performed
for
the
businesse
of
Spices
and
Indico
.
And
who
shall
then
doubt
our
want
of
Siluer
to
mainetaine
the
Trade
?
if
by
this
way
wee
doe
obtaine
the
Silke
,
which
with
more
aduantage
and
conueniencie
,
wil
draw
the
money
to
this
Mart
,
then
it
hath
beene
heeretofore
conueyed
vnto
those
remote
dominions
of
the
Turke
.
And
least
peraduenture
it
should
be
thought
,
that
the
traffique
in
those
parts
by
the
Christians
for
the
Persian
Silke
,
is
performed
by
change
for
other
wares
,
or
by
the
money
which
proceedeth
of
the
sales
of
many
rich
commodities
,
which
yeerely
they
sell
at
Aleppo
,
Alaxandria
,
Constantinople
,
and
these
parts
.
The
answere
is
,
that
neither
the
Venetians
;
French
,
nor
Dutche
,
doe
vent
so
much
of
their
owne
Country
commodities
in
those
partes

,

,

,
&
diuerse
other
things
;
so
that
still
the
raw-silkes
of
Persia
,
must
be
bought
with
ready
mony
.
Only
the
English
haue
more
aduantage
then
any
other
Nation
in
this
kinde
,
for
they
vent
so
great
a
quantitie
of
broade-cloathes
,

,
and
other
English
commodities
,
that
the
proceede
thereof
,
doth
not
only
prouide
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
part
of
the
sayd
Turkish
wares
(
which
fit
their
vse
,
)
but
also
a
proportion
of
about
300.
great
balles
of
Persia
Raw-silke
yearely
.
And
if
in
any
yeare
,
they
chance
to
buy
a
greater
quantitie
of
silke
,
then
must
and
do
they
furnish
the
same
in
ready
monies
from
the
Portes
of
Marcellis
,
Genouay
,
Ligorne
,
Venice
,
or
the
Netherlandes
.
Neither
are
these
the
onely
meanes
,
whereby
the
Empire
of
the
Turke
is
so
abundantly
stored
with
God
and
Siluer
,
to
the
performance
of
the
Indian-trade
.
For
,
many
are
the
Christian
shippes
,
which
yearely
lade
with
corne
for
ready
monies
in
the
Archipelago
;
Great
is
the
commerce
from
Poland
,
Hungarie
,
and
Germany
,
Dollers
,
for
Chamblets
,
Grogerans
,
and
other
things
:
But
that
which
is
very
remarkable
,
is
the
great
quantitie
of
gold
&
some
siluer
coyned
in
Grand-Cairo
,
which
by
two
seuerall
Carrauans
(
in
bullion
)
is
yearely
brought
thither
from
the
Abissians
countrie
in
Ethiopia
,
for
returne
of
many
rich
commodities
,
as
Veluets
,
Sattens
,
Cloth
of
Gold
,
Taffaties
,
Woollen-cloath
:
polished
Corrall
,
and
other
things
.
Thus
by
the
coherence
of
the
Turkish-Trade
with
the
Christians
,
Persians
and
Indians
,
I
haue
shewed
both
the
manner
and
the
meanes
,
whereby
the
East-Indians
wares
haue
beene
heretofore
,
and
yet
are
,
in
part
,
procured
into
Christendome
.
But
least
it
should
seeme
incredible
,
that
the
Turke
would
let
so
great
a
Masse
of
Treasure
yeerly
to
passe
his
Dominions
,
to
the
Indians
and
to
the
Persians
his
professed
enemies
:
I
will
make
the
matter
yet
more
plaine
.
And
First
,
concerning
the
Raw-silkes
,
it
is
alreadie
shewed
,
that
hee
hath
the
money
from
the
Christians
,
besides
the
benefit
he
reapeth
in
their
customes
,
with
great
imployments
also
for
his
Subiects
.
And
for
the
Callicoes
(
his
whole
Empire
hauing
litle
or
no
other
meanes
for
Linnen
)
he
cannot
possibly
be
without
them
,
India
.
although
it
hath
,
&
doth
greatly
exhaust
his
treasure
,
neither
doth
hee
gaine
any
manufacture
by
the
same
,
as
the
Christians
haue
alwayes
done
by
the
Raw-silke
,
to
the
great
reliefe
of
innumerable
poore
people
,
so
much
prouided
for
,
by
the
pollicie
of
all
well
gouerned
and
flourishing
common-wealths
;
As
by
this
occasion
,
Genouay
,
Florence
,
and
Luca
;
who
for
the
maintenance
of
Artes
and
Trade
,
doe
prouide
Raw-silkes

of

for
the
value
of
500000.

and
for
the

thereof

vent
at
Naples
,
Palermo
,
Messina
,
and
those
parts
,
a
certaine
quantitie
of
Florence
▪
Rashes
and
some
other
wares
,
for
about
150000.
pounds
starling
per
annum
;
So
the
rest
,
Sicilia
.
being
350000.
l.
sterling
,
is
supplyed
all
in
readie
moneies
;
which
treasure
they
doe
willingly
forsake
,
to
procure
their
Trade
;
for
experience
hath
taught
them
that
Trade
is
their
imployment
,
and
doth
returne
them
treasure
;
for
by
those
silkes
(
being
wrought
,
transported
and
sould
at
Franckforde
and
other
Marts
)
they
haue
the
better
meanes
,
to
furnish
their
contracts
with
the
King
of
Spaine
in
Flanders
;
and
so
from
Spaine
the
Siluer
must
returne
againe
to
Italy
.
But
if
I
should
runne
out
in
this
and
other
particulars
(
fiting
our
purpose
)
it
would
make
me
too
tedious
,
and
so
carrie
me
beyond
my
ayme
,
which
is
to
be
briefe
.
Wherefore
,
I
will
proceede
to
cleare
some
doubts
,
in
those
men
,
who
perhaps
not
hauing
the
knowledge
of
occurrents
in
forren
partes
,
might
thinke
,
that
neither
Venice
,
nor
Marcellis
haue
the
meanes
or
yet
the
mindes
,
to
exporte
such
great
Sommes
of
readie
monyes
,
yearely
out
of
those
Dominions
;
especially
Marcellis
being
a
part
of
France
,
where
neighborhoode
doth
daily
tell
vs
,
that
gold
and
Siluer
,
may
not
be
conueied
out
of
that
Kingdome
,
for
any
valuable
Somme
,
more
then
is
permitted
for
the
necessarie
vse
of
Trauellers
;
Yet
neuerthelesse
experience
hath
likewise
taught
vs
,
that
for
the
effecting
of
those
Trades
(
whereof
wee
now
speake
,
and
which
they
esteeme
so
much
)
there
is
a
free
extraction
out
of
the
sayd
places
,
of
moneyes
both
gold
and
siluer
;
whereof
with
them
there
is
no
want
;
for
,
the
sayd
wares
doe
procure
it
abundantly
.
Marcellis
,
it
commeth
not
onely
from
Genouay
,
Ligorne
,
Cartagenia
,
Malliga
,
and
many
other
Porte

of

and
Itally
,
but
also
from
Parris
,
Roane
,
Sainct
Malloes
,
Tolouse
,
Rochell
,
Deepe
,
and
other
Cities
of
France
;
who
want
not
meanes
to
haue
great
store
of
Rialls
,
and
Dallers
from
Spaine
&
Germany
.
And
in
like
manner
,
the
Venetians
distributing
the
sayd
Raw-silkes
,
and
other
wares
into
the
seuerall
States
of
Itally
,
Germany
,
and
Hungaria
,
(
who
haue
but
few
commodities
fitting
their
barter
or
exchange
:
but
onely
monyes
)
are
therewith
aboundantly
serued
;
For
the
mynes
of
Hungarie
and
Germany
affoord
good
quantitie
of
Gold
and
Siluer
;
And
likewise
the
States
of
Itally
,
especiallie
Genouay
,
Florence
,
and
Millane
,
haue
euer
store
of
Rialls
out
of
Spaine
in
satisfaction
of
many
great
disbursments
,
which
those
Merchantes
make
for
that
King
in
his
occasions
of
Itally
and
Flanders
;
Italyan
Merchants
doe
furnish
the
king
of
Spaine
with
money
in
Italy
and
Flanders
.
of
all
which
,
I
might
make
a
large
discourse
,
but
I
conceaue
I
haue
sayd
sufficient
,
to
shew
how
the
trade
of
the
East
Indies
hath
beene
,
and
now
is
brought
into
Christendome
generally
:
what
money
is
yearely
sent
out
;
by
whom
;
and
the
possibilitie
,
or
meanes
which
they
haue
to
performe
it
.
I
will
therefore
in
the
next
place
,
satisfie
the
Obiections
;
that
it
is
not
the
East-India
Trade
,
which
wasteth
the
Gold
,
and
Siluer
,
Coyne
,
or
other
treasure
of
this
kingdome
in
particular
.
For
first
,
who
knoweth
not
,
The
third
part
doth
shew
how
the
East-India
,
Trade
doth
enrich
this
Kingdome
.
that
gold
in
the
East-Indies
hath
no
ratable
price
with
Siluer
?
Neither
hath
the
Siluer
coyne
of
England
any
equall
value
with
the
Spanish
Rialls
according
to
their
seuerall
prizes
here
,
Besides
that
,
his
Maiestie
hath
not
authorized
the
East-India
Companie
,
to
send
away
any
part
of
this
kingdomes
Coyne
either
Gold
,
or
Siluer
,
but
onely
a
certaine
limited
summe
of
forren
Siluer
yearlie
;
which
as
they
dare
not
exceede
,
so
neuer
haue
they
as
yet
accomplished
the
same
.
For
it
doth
plainely
appeare
in
their
bookes
;
that
from
the
originall
and
first
foundation
of
the
Trade
,
Iuly
,
Anno
1620.
they
haue
shipped
away
onely
548090.
l.
sterling
in
Spanish
Rialls
,
and
some
Dollers
;
whereas
,
by
licence
,
they
might
haue
exported
in
that
time
720000.
l.
sterling
.
Also
they
haue
laden
away
in
the
same
tearme
of
xix
yeares
,
out
of
this
Kindgome
292286.
l.
sterling
in
Broad-clothes
,
Kersies
,
Lead
,
Tinne
,
with
some
other
English
and
forren
commodities
;
which
is
a
good
Addition
;
and

of
our
wares
,
into
such
remote
places
;
where
heretofore
they
haue
had
no
vtterance
at

.
Indies
,
then
in
the
xvi
.
yeares
before
;
and
yet
our
expectation
is
not
at
the
highest
,
for
those
new
borne
Trades
within
the
Red
Sea
,
and
in
the
Persian
Gulfe
,
doe
bid
vs
hope
for
better
things
,
as
lately
by
letters
from
Spahan
,
we
vnderstand
of
great
quantity
of
Raw
silke
prepared
by
the
English
factors
,
which
(
by
Gods
assistance
)
wee
may
expect
here
about
the
Moneth
of
August
next
,
with
encouragement
also
,
to
vent
our
English
cloth
,
and
Kersies
in
good
quantities
;
the
like
of
Iron
,
Tinne
,
and
other
things
;
whereof
experience
(
of
those
alreadie
sould
)
hath
giuen
vs
sufficient
approbation
of
their
valliditie
.
And
now
(
omitting
much
matter
which
might
be
written
touching
the
discoueries
of
other
Trades
from
one
Kingdome
or
port
to
another
,
in
the
Indies
:

with
the

,
whereby
the

of

,
together
with
the
stocke
of

and
goodes
which
is
sent
out
of
England
in
them
,
may
be
much
increased
)
I
will
draw
to
a
conclusion
of
the
point
in
hand
;
and
shewe
,

,
His
Maiestie
in

graunted

,

notwithstanding
with

prouided

but
onely
by
vertue
and
performance
of
the
said

;
for
,
without
this
assurance
of
Vent
,
together
with
a
good
price
for
the
said
monyes
,
the
Merchants
would
vndoubtedly
make
their
returnes
in
other
wares
;
And
here
I
will
suppose
,
That
the
East-India
Company
may
shippe
out
yearely
100000.
l
starling
(
more
or
lesse
)
as
occasion
may
be
offered
;
yet
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
the
Trade
being
thus
driuen
,
with
such
sums
of
ready
moneys
,
it
wil
not
decay
but
rather
much
increase
the
treasure
of
the
kingdome
:
which
to
proue
,
I
will
briefely
set
downe
,
the
substance
of
the
English
Trade
vnto
the
East-Indies
,
concerning
the
quantitie
of
the
seuerall
sortes
of
wares
,
to
be
yearely
bought
there
and
sould
here
:
with
the
vsual

giuen
for

in

.
And

I

The

is

first
,
that
in

wee
must
conceaue

onely

so
much

And

in

said

,
