What oppression is there in Trading? If I buy a commodity and sell it again, what oppression can there be? 1There may be oppression in Trading, As thus:
- 1Oppression in Trading.
1. Oppression in Monopolizing of Commodities, that 1poor men that have been brought up to such a Trade, and that have no other livelihood at all but that, that a few men get into their own hand, and make such use of it themselves that poor men are not able to live by them, this is oppression; Certainly this monopolizing in Trading is a great oppression, the Lord hath in great measure delivered us, but not wholly delivered us from that, there is a great cry in many parts of the Land still of that.
