the English navigation, and the loss of a great part of the plantation trade to this

the future.
II. Be it enacted, ... no goods or merchandises whatsoever shall be imported into, or
exported out of, any colony or plantation ... or carried from any one port or place in
the said colonies or plantations to any other, ...in any ship or bottom but what is or
shall be of the built of England, ... or the said colonies or plantations, and wholly
owned by the people thereof."
