To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The true ground of their dissatisfaction was shortly after more explicitly declared in a joint Address of the Lords and Commons of England to the King, wherein they complained that the Act of the Scot- tish Parliament would be ruinous to the trade of England, ' by reason of the duties and difficulties that lie upon the ' Indian trade in England, and the great advantages given to * the Company of Scotland by their charter ; in consequence ' whereof a great part of the stock and shipping of Engla...nd ' would be carried thither, and by that means Scotland be ' made a free port for all East Indian commodities, and be * able to serve the several places in Europe cheaper than can * be done by the English'—' and the said Indian commodities * may likewise be brought from Scotland into England by ' stealth, to the vast prejudice both of English trade and of ' the king's revenue. And they prayed the King that he would ' interpose his authority to prevent English subjects from * subscribing to the Scots Company.' To this Address the King returned answer, ' I have been ill served in Scotland : but I hope * some remedies may be found to prevent the inconveniences ' which may arise from this Act*.' The exemptions granted to the Scots Company could not but be displeasing, and might have proved of great injury to the English * Collection of Addresses, Memorials, Proclamations, and other Public Papers relating to the Company of Scotland trading to Africa and the Indies.
