1. If her MajtsMajestys tTinn continue to be sold after the rate of 76li per Tunn, her MajtyMajesty will be a great run above 3thirty or forty thousand pounds intoo debt years till till the term of the bargain be expired, & after all the Tin is sold off be a great loser by yethe bargain.

2 The raising of the price will not much abate the consumption & notwithstanding such abatement will bring in more money annually then comes in by the present price.

45 It will be three years before the Dutch can have Tinn from India & after that they will have but two years more to prejudice her MajtiesMajesties bargain.

43 The higher the price the more it is for her MajtsMajestys advantage & for the advantage of the nation provided pthe price be not immoderate.

54w w the Farmers of Tin have formerly sold it at 6li ꝑrper Hundred & if it therefore we beleivebelieve it may be reasonably set at 5li 5s as in the Proposall & if it should be set at 5li 10s or 6li prper hundred as formerly, we should not think the price immoderate. And we are humbly of opinion that yethe price be raised at once.

56 It will be three years before the Dutch can have Tinn from India & after that they will have but two years more to prejudice her MajtsMajestys bargain. And that prejudice may be prevented or at least diminished by imprloying some East-India Merchants to buy at Malacia one after another a few Tons of India Tinn at a prices above the Market & at yethe same time to let the Indians know that Tinn foor one or two years or two to raise the price of Tin in India by such methods as they are acquanted wth & to lower the price of that tin in Europe. is grown very dear in Europe. For by these means they may raise the price of Tinn will be raised there by steps so that yethe Dutch shall be able to make little or no advantage by buying it.

7 And it up it be declared here that tin

6 7 If upon raising the price of her MajtsMajestys Tin it be declared here that no Tin shall be sold under that price during the next three years, udner the price to wchwhich it is raised the merchants will havey time to dispose of what they buy at fir & thereby bee incouredincouraged to buythe merchants here will venture to buy at that price be incouraged to buy because they will have time to sell beforewithout abating of their price the price abates & the Dutch will be discouraged not venture to buy much Indian last noTin because they know not what price that Tinn will bear after the three years are expired. hence when they bring it home.

675 For quickning the sale of the Tinn the blockthethe it may be sold 5s 4 or 5s prper hundred cheaper upon yethe wharf then in the Tower, Wharf to them who for every three two or three Tins of blocks will take of one Ton of small barrs at yethe same price wthwith the blocks in yethe Tower

8 If the price of Tin should be raised at prsent wth a declaration that after a month or two it shall not be sold during the space of three years under such a higher price as shall be named, this would might quickly carry off what Tin is now in the Tower, but [afterwards the sale would stop till that wchwhich is alreadalready sold be consumed & therefore] we beleivebelieve it more for her Majts advantage to raise the price at once & the small barrs

78 And for further preventing any prejudice from the importation of the Indian [Tin [the Dutch East Indian comparing may be] her MajtsMajestys Envoy in Holland or some other fit person may propose to yethe Dutch East India company that if they willthat if they will covenant wthwith her MajtyMajesty that they shall bring over no more Tinn during her MatsMajestys contract annuallythen they used to do (supposewchwhich is about about 20 Tunns annualyannually) her Majty will quietly permit they shall may make their advantage of it by raising the price thereof proportional to yethe price of her Majesties Tin wthwithout any molestat impediment from her MajtsMajestys subjetcts, otherwise not: & the English East India company may be treated with to raise the price of Tinn in the Indies if the Dutch E company do not by such methods as they are acquainted with in case the Dutch company do not enter into yethe said contract or do afterwards break it
