May? 334. “Paper concerning the bill for enlarging of trades of merchandize.” For the company of merchants trading to Muscovy. For the East India Company: “the Netherlander at their beginning traded to the East Indies in a popular manner as we seek by this law to establish, but their experience hath made them leave it, and draw it into one purse and into one company, or else they found it would have been overthrown.” Concerning the Turkey Company, and the Merchant Adventurers, “the most ancient and honorable of all companies.” [Two pages. The Bill for the enlargement of trade was read in April 1604, and reported 21 May. Domestic, Jac. I, Vol. CCXIV. Addenda.]
