    • peaceful foreign policy
      • peace with Spain (Treaty of London

      • spend less
      • less border control with Scotland
      • more trade
    • customs duties
      • 'tonnage and poundage' - charges on imports and exports
      • trade expanded, so income from duties increased too
      • 3rd of royal revenue
      • the Lord Treasurer and and secretary Robert Cecil farmed out the collection process
        • -> the right to collect was sold to a group of financers
