2 68 Some New Voyages 



fons that you are not jgnoranti of. The next thing 

 to be done, is to prohibit the Officers to flop the 

 Soldiers pay, and to injoyn 'em to Difcipline their 

 Men every Holy-day^ and every Sunday. In the 

 third place, the Commodities ought to be rated at 

 a reafonable price, fo that the Merchant may have 

 his profit, without exa&ing upon the Inhabitants 

 and the Savages. A fourth Article of Reformation, 

 would confift in prohibiting the exporting from 

 France to Canada, of Brocado's, Gold and Silver Gal-

 to the Kingdom, by carrying their Money along 

 with ? em, and fetting up Manufa&uries in thofe 

 Countries ; I wonder, I fay, that the Court did not 

 think it more proper to tranfport ? em to Canada. 

 j'm convinced, that if they had received pofitive
