And consequently that Trade which exports little or none of our Product or Manufactures, nor supplies us with things necessary to promote Manufactures at home, or carry on our Trade abroad, nor encourages Navigation, cannot be supposed to be advantageous to this Kingdom; especially when its Imports hinder the consumption of our own Manufactures, and more especially when those Imports are chiefly the purchase of our _Bullion_ or _Treasure_. And because I would be rightly understood in my third Proposition, I mean those Commodities without which we are not able to fit out our Ships for a Foreign _Trade_, such as are _Pitch_, _Tar_, _Hemp_, _Sail-Cloth_, _Masts_, _Timber_, and such like; These are so absolutely necessary, that we must have them though purchased for _Bullion_, as being the chief Hinges whereon Trade turns, and the Tools by which we Mechannically navigate our Ships, those Bulky _Mediums_ of Foreign _Trade_; but for those things which are Imported only in order to be Exported again as Commodities to trade on, these cannot be so advantageous to this Kingdom as they may be to the _Dutch_, who having little Land are maintained rather by Buying and Selling than Manufacturing, whereas _England_ being a large spot of Ground, and having a great Product of its own, (besides what comes from our Plantations) capable to be wrought up or manufactured here, gets by the Imployment of its People, therefore it would be the great Wisdom of our Government to regulate all Foreign _Trades_ by such Methods as may best make then useful in the promoting our Manufactures.
