Chap. II.
Reflections upon the Rpya; African COMPANY
As Oliver established this present East Indy Company, and excluded the rest of the Nation from trading into that half of the world, which the Company call the East Indies; So King Charles the 2d. erected this present African Company, excluding all others of the English Nation from trading to Africa, from the Country of Sufa, to the Cape of Good-Hope; so that if you take the extent of this part of the Coast of Africk, its little less than a Quadrant of the Globe, being above 80 degrees; so that the prerogative which these two Companies claim against the rest of their fellow Subjects in these two Trades, extend to two thirds of the circumference of the Globe of the earth, and herein both are at peace with all the world besides, and only in a state of War with the rest of their fellow Subjects...
Here let's see first the Consequences of this Restrraint, upon the Nation in the foreign vent of our domestick manufactures: Secondly, in reference to our American Plantations; and Thirdly, in reference to the returns, which this Company imports into England.
