The first Original of _Trade_ both _Domestick_ and _Forreign_ was _Barter_; when one private Person having an Overplus of what his Neighbour wanted, furnished him for its Value in such Commodities the other had, and he stood in need of. The same when one Nation abounding in those Products another wanted supply'd it therewith, and received thence things equally necessary in their Roomes, and by how much those Products exceeded the Expence, so much both the one and the other grew Richer, the remainder being sold for _Bulloin_, or some _Staple Commodities_ allowed by all to have the same Intrinsick Value. And as People increased so did Commerce, this caused many to go off from _Husbandry_ to _Manufactures_ and other ways of living, for Convenience whereof they began Communities, this was the Original of Towns, which being found necessary for _Trade_, their _Inhabitants_ were increased by expectation of Profit; this introduced _Forreign Trade_, or _Traffick_ with Neighbouring Nations; this _Navigation_, and this a desire to settle rather on some _Navigable Rivers_, then in remote Inland Places, whereby they might be more easily supply'd with Commodities from the _Country_, and disperse those they Imported from abroad. [Sidenote: The Trade of England.] I shall now take the _Trade_ of _England_ as 'tis divided into _Domestick_ and _Forreign_, and consider each, and how they are Advantagious to the _Nation_, and may be made more so.
