Concerning the liberty itselfe petitioned for, we find it contrary to the maine end of the Act of Parliament which aimed at the increase of English shipping and employment of English mariners .. If this liberty be imported to the Scotch nation these ends must in a great measure fall to the ground for the English shipping and marriners must necessarily be the less employed the more the other are and if the Scotch can undersayle or [under] trade them as in the French trade we understand they can forty pounds in every tunn, then the loss must be greater: and if the Dutch (which is very possible) gett any covert under the Scotch the ill consequence is more and the Englishmen's trade must needs decrease: and if those pay single Custom which should pay double his Majesties Customes must needs decrease. And even in the late proposicon [which] the Earls of Crawford and Lauderdale made that five or six Scotch ships might have freedome to trade to the Plantacons and returne to Scotland, your Majesties Customes might be concerned thereby near 20,000l. by the yeare."
