In what concerns the wares which go out of this kingdom, there are many grand persons who endeavour this, and endeavour for the said and written things to deduct their share from all, if it be possible: believing we can live happy and with great steps without perusing too much trust into or receiving much from the foreigner, but they have mistaken my advice: for we deal with foreigners and wouldn’t have aught to pass from there. I confess that we send them wheat, wine, salt, saffron, woad, plums, paper, draperies and gross fabric, and get from them in exchange primarily all metals save iron: we have from them gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, steel, quicksilver, alum, sulphur, vitriol, copperas, cinnabar, oils, wax, honey, pitch, bresilwood, ebony, fustet, guaiacum, ivory, maroquin, fine cloths, cochineal colours, scarlet, crimson, drugs of all kinds, spices, sugars, horses, salted salmons, sardines, mackerels, lings, in short an infinity of good books and excellent manuscripts.
