此時不單大西洋都平安，就是小西洋紅毛鄰國的人，他沒有理，同本國打仗，也都平復了。如今本國與各處全平安了，所以趁此時候，得與中國大皇帝進獻表貢，盼望得些好處。

Many　of　Our　subjects　have　also　frequented　for　a　long　time　past　a　remote　part　of　Your　Majesty’s　domini翠¤　for　the　purpose　of　Trade。　No　doubt；　the　interchange　of　modities　between　Nati翠¤　distantly　situated　tends　to　their　mutual　convenience；　industry　and　wealth；　as　the　blessings　which　the　Great　God　of　Heaven　has　conferred　upon　various　soils　and　climates　are　thus　distributed　among　his　Creatures　scattered　over　the　surface　of　the　Earth。
