Jean Bodin ausdicts paradoxes GB, page 45:
      Quant à la traite des marchandises qui sortent de ce royaume, il y a plusieurs grands personages qui s’efforcent, & se font efforcez par ditz & par escripts de la retrencher du tout, s’il leur estoit possible; croyans que nous pouvouns vivre heureusement & à grand marché sans rien bailler, ny recevoir de l’estranger, mais ils s’abusent à mon advis:car nous avons afaire des estrangers, & ne s’avrions nous en passer. Ie confesse que nous leur envoyons blé, vin, sel, safran, pastel, pruneaux, papier, draps & grosses toiles. aussi avons nous d’eux en contrechange, premierement tous les metaux, hormis le fer : nous avons d’eux, or, argent, estain, cuivre, plomb, acier, vif argent, alun, souphre, vitriol, couperoze, cynabre, huiles, cire, miel, poix, bresil, ebene, fustel, gaiac, yvoire, maroquins, toiles fines, couleurs de conchenil, escarlate, cramoysi, drogues de toutes sortes, epiceries, sucres, chevaux, saleures de saumons, sardines, maquereaux, molves, bref une infinité de bons livres & excellens ouvrages de main.
      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.
