During the war, moreover, the older channels of legitimate trade had,
for the most part, been closed to the English merchant, who found
himself cut off “from Spain, Portugal, Barbary, the Levant, and, to a
considerable extent, from Poland, Denmark, and Germany.”[90] The
seventeen years prior to the death of Elizabeth had been years of
depressed business, now, in turn, to be followed by a like period of
prosperity, while trade continued fairly good until 1636.[91] Although
other elements entered into the problem, it may be noted that the
efforts to colonize, whether near home in Ireland, or far off in the new
world, had been failures when general business was poor, and successful
when it became good.[92] Neither in Ulster nor in Munster, in
Newfoundland, Virginia, nor Guiana, had the individuals or their
associates, who had obtained grants, been able, as yet, to plant any
permanent settlements.
