Since the making of which Aft the Trade and Adventure to Ifeland hath much de- ' cayed, not only becaufe the Adventure is fo dangerous and chargeable to the Merchant Venturers, Dog- ' gers called Dcggcrmen, and Fifhermen, being now compelled to make this Adventure at their only Charges, ' where before the making of the faid Aft a great Number of Perfons of thofe Parts and other Places of ' this Realm did adventure their Merchandize and Wares with them, fame to the Value of x. li. fome v. li.

And where in ' Times paft as well divers Merchants of London and Coventry, as of other Places within this Realm, did ' repair and come to the faid Venturers immediately after their coming home, andfor ready Money bought ' their Fifh at the faid Coaft Side, and carried the fame Fifh to Ely Fair, Sturbridge Fair, Saint Ives Fair
- and other Fairs and Markets for the univerfal Provifion of this Realm : Now the faid Venturers, Dog-
- gers and Fifhermen be driven to travail and feek to the fame Markets and Fairs for the felling of their Fifh,
- and in the mean Time to make Shifts for the paying the Wages and Charges of their Mariners and Ser-
- vants, and abide a great Time before they can have any Return to their Advantage of their Adventure, to'
' their great Wearinefs, and like hereafter to be the, utter Decay of the Ifeland Fleet, if Remedy therefore 4 be not the fooner provided.' II.
