By the Account above your Lordshipps may perceive that the Linnen and Silke Manufactures onely Imported from France Amount to upwards of 800000^li and that the Manufactures of Wooll and Silke Exported from England thither doe not amount to 85000^li As alsoe that all the other Commodities of the product and Manufacture of France Imports to upwards of 320000^li besides an incredible value of Toys Rich {Apparell} Pointlace Soe that it is apparent that the Exports of our Native Commodities and Manufactures to France are Less in value by at the least One Million of Pounds Sterling then the Native Commodities and Manufactures of France which wee Receive from thence And if it please your Lordshipps to reflect there upon your Lordshipps will easily discerne the great Prejudice the English nation hath sustained and the great advantages the French have and doe dayly make by holding this Treaty in Suspence, This Nation being upon the matter Excluded trade thither while in the meane time the French enjoy all and as great Advantages as they can reasonably expect by any Treaty
