Strana 11 - Seas to buy and bring in forraign wares for our use and consumptions, to the value of twenty hundred thousand pounds. By this order duly kept in our trading, we may rest assured that the Kingdom shall be enriched yearly two hundred thousand pounds, which must be brought to us in so much Treasure; because that part of our stock which is not returned to us in wares must necessarily be brought home in treasure.
Strana 11 - Although a Kingdom may be enriched by gifts received, or by purchase taken from some other Nations, yet these are things uncertain and of small consideration when they happen. The ordinary means therefore to encrease our wealth and treasure is by Forraign Trade, wherein wee must ever observe this rule; to sell more to strangers yearly than wee consume of theirs in value.
Strana 24 - ... to enlarge our trade by enabling us to bring in more forraign wares, which being sent out again will in due time much encrease our Treasure.
Strana 12 - For in this case it cometh to pass in the stock of a kingdom, as in the estate of a private man; who is supposed to have one thousand pounds yearly revenue and two thousand pounds of ready money in his chest : if such a man through excess shall spend one thousand five hundred pounds per annum, all his ready money will be gone in four years; and in the like time his said money will be doubled if he take a frugal course to spend but five hundred pounds per annum; which rule never faileth likewise in...
Strana 30 - Nations we have brought them into the use of much of our Lead, Cloth, Tin, and other things, which is a good addition to the former vent of our commodities. Again, some men have alleged that those Countries which permit mony to be carried out, do it because they have few or no wares to trade withall: but wee have great store of commodities, and therefore their action ought not to be our example. To this the answer is briefly, that if we have such a quantity of wares as doth fully provide us of all...
Strana 29 - ... necessaries, which were most absurd to affirm, or that the merchant had not rather carry out wares by which there is ever some gains expected, than to export money which is still but the same without any encrease.
Strana xi - ... of a market worth naming ; but they had their houses built by country workmen, and their clothes made out of town, and supplied themselves with beef and pork from Boston, which drained the town of its money.
Strana 23 - OUR TREASURE THIS POSITION is so contrary to the common opinion, that it will require many and strong arguments to prove it before it can be accepted of the multitude, who bitterly exclaim when they see any monies carried out of the realm; affirming thereupon that...
Strana 83 - ... the younger and poorer merchants to rise in the world and to enlarge their dealings ; to the performance whereof, if they want means of their own, they may, and do, take it up at interest : so that our money lies not dead, it is still traded. How many merchants and shopkeepers have begun with little or nothing of their own, and yet are grown very rich by trading with other men's money...
Strana 21 - But what need we fetch the example so far, when we know that our own natural wares do not yield us so much profit as our industry? For Iron ore in the Mines is of no great worth, when it is compared with the employment and advantage it yields being digged, tried, transported, bought, sold, cast into Ordnance, Muskets, and many other instruments of war for offence and defence, wrought into Anchors, bolts, spikes, nails and the like, for the use of Ships, Houses, Carts, Coaches, Ploughs, and other...
