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.
- 11. Monopolizing Commodities.
And then Secondly, Oppression in Trading; when as 1men take the advantages of mens weaknesses that they deal withal in their Trading: but especially when they take advantages of mens necessities, that is, If I know that such a man must sell his Commodity, now for men to take advantage of his necessity and therefore beat it down, so as even almost to undo a man because he is necessitated for the selling of it. I verily believe you know the meaning of such things as these are.
