in all sortes of Canuasses with other small wares in Lockromes Uiterie and Dowlasse Pouldauis Olyraunce and Myndernex parte for readie money parte for commoditie And Woades is commonly lodeÌ„ at Burdeux and vttered there to our NatioÌ„ and others for money and Clothe or els not These sortes of wares bought in Fraunce besides the Wines amounts by estimacion to sixe tymes so muche as all the Englishe wares bee solde for in Fraunce euery yeare And for a truthe this trade of fishyng is the best and of lightest coste that can bee founde to counteruaile the valewes of the Frenche commodities Experience doeth shewe the same by the Flemminges Who with their greene fishe barreled Cod and Heringes caryeth out of Englande for the same yearely both golde and siluer and other comodities and at the leaste tenne thousande tunne of dubble dubble Beare and hath also all kinde of Frenche commodities continually both in tyme of warres and peace by their trade onely of fishyng Thus the greate summes of golde that is caried yerely out of this lande to the vintage as appeareth by this Plat following will staie And the Wines neuerthelesse and other frenche waires of all sortes wil be had and obteyned for Herrynges and fishe Â¶ When you put your fishyng Platte into the Parliament house what did you conseaue by the speache of suche Burgesses as you conferred with of the same IN the eightene yeare of the Queenes Maiesties raigne fiue or sixe daies before the ParliameÌ„t house brake vp I hadde the Burgesses almoste of all the stately Porte tounes of Englande and Wales at a Dynner with mee at Westminster emongest whom the substaunce of my Platte was red and of euery man well lyked so that some were desirous to haue a Lopie of the same and saied that they would of their owne coste and charges set so many Shippes to the Sea as was to their tounes appointed without the assistaunce of any other Of the like minde were the Burgesses of Rye and some saied it were good to leuye a subsidie of twoo shillynges lande and sixteene pence goods for the makyng of these fishyng Shippes Of whiche minde the speaker maister Bell was saying a Parliament hath beene called for a lesse cause other some saied it were good to giue a subsidie for this purpose to shippe these kinde of people in this sorte for if they should neuer retourne and so auoided the land were happie for it is but riddaunce of a nomber of idle and euill disposed people But these men that so doth thinke wil bee of an other minde with in two yeares nexte after this Platte take effecte as when they shall see by this occacion onely such a nomber of Larpenters and Shipwrightes set on worke suche a nomber of Cowpers imployed suche nombers of people makyng Lynes Ropes and Cables dressors of Hempe spinners of threede and makers of Nets so many Salte houses set vp to make salte and salte vpon salte And what a nomber of Marryners is made of poore men and what a nomber of poore people is set on woorke in those Shires all along vpon the Sea coaste in Englande and Wales in splettyng of fishe washyng of fishe packyng of fishe salting of fishe caryng and recaring of fishe and seruing all the countries in England with fishe And to serue all those occupacions aforesaied there must depende an infinite nomber of seruaunts boyes and daie laborers for the vse of thinges needefull And with all to remember how that aboute Englande and Wales there is established in fower score Hauen tounes fiue fishyng Shippes to euery toune to continue for euer whiche will breede plentie of fishe in euery Market and that will make fleshe good cheape And that by the onely helpe of God and these fishermen there shal be established within Englande and Wales to two hundreth fiue and twentie decaied tounes a stocke of two hundreth pounde to euery decaied toune whiche shall continue for euer to set the poore people on worke And to conclude I doe carie that minde that with in fewe yeares there will bee of these fishyng tounes of suche wealth that they will cast Ditches aboute their Tounes and walle the same defensiue against the Enemie to garde them their wealthe in more saiftie What Englishe man is he thinke you that will
