trade_n or_o whale_n and_o cod-fishing_a may_v be_v the_o business_n of_o the_o royal-fishery_a 3._o that_o great_a care_n be_v take_v by_o diligent_a inspection_n that_o the_o fish_n be_v catch_v when_o best_a in_o season_n only_o and_o that_o none_o but_o sweet_a and_o good_a herring_n be_v cure_a and_o that_o after_o the_o best_a manner_n and_o all_o make_v good_a and_o merchantable_a ware_n 4._o that_o the_o poor_a be_v first_o serve_v what_o remain_v to_o be_v expose_v to_o sale_n and_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o merchant_n to_o export_v they_o beyond_o sea_n to_o be_v sell_v at_o very_o reasonable_a rate_n or_o barter_v for_o hemp_n salt_n corn_n etc._n etc._n 5._o that_o all_o profit_n arise_v above_o the_o poor_n provision_n be_v the_o public_a treasure_n and_o applicable_a as_o shall_v be_v appoint_v by_o parliament_n which_o if_o they_o be_v please_v may_v be_v assign_v for_o the_o plant_v of_o timber_n so_o much_o want_v in_o england_n or_o the_o rebuilding_n white-hall_n and_o to_o make_v it_o the_o most_o stately_a and_o magnificent_a palace_n in_o the_o world_n in_o five_o year_n time_n and_o that_o without_o any_o tax_n 6._o that_o the_o english_a red-herring_n be_v the_o best_a in_o the_o world_n and_o a_o good_a commodity_n in_o all_o place_n 7._o that_o for_o a_o far_a encouragement_n of_o this_o fishery_n and_o to_o promote_v trade_n if_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o parliament_n to_o lay_v a_o restriction_n on_o the_o irish_a fish_v that_o be_v on_o their_o herring_n and_o pilchard_n fish_v only_o for_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v rather_o more_o jealous_a and_o careful_a to_o prevent_v the_o growth_n of_o a_o fishery_n any_o where_o to_o our_o power_n than_o of_o the_o woolen_n manufacture_n because_o one_o will_v secure_v the_o other_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v great_a quantity_n of_o herring_n will_v be_v transport_v to_o ireland_n and_o in_o return_n they_o may_v bring_v tallow_n hides_n corn_n etc._n etc._n but_o principal_o wool_n which_o will_v great_o improve_v the_o woolen_n manufacture_n for_o the_o fundamental_a cause_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o that_o great_a trade_n be_v the_o very_a same_o by_o which_o the_o fishery_n be_v lose_v and_o ruin_v that_o be_v forelgner_n sell_v fish_n better_a cheap_a than_o we_o can_v which_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o trade_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v if_o not_o prevent_v their_o slight_a make_n and_o dress_v their_o cloth_n their_o excessive_a strain_v and_o rack_a to_o lengthen_v it_o and_o many_o other_o knavish_a practice_n in_o that_o trade_n more_o than_o former_o may_v in_o time_n bring_v it_o to_o the_o fame_n fate_n foreigner_n be_v discourage_v to_o buy_v it_o not_o dare_v to_o trust_v they_o have_v put_v they_o on_o invention_n to_o make_v better_a themselves_o and_o sell_v cheaper_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o wool_n from_o honce_n therefore_o unless_o care_n be_v take_v that_o cloth_n be_v well_o and_o true_o make_v without_o deceit_n and_o by_o plenty_n of_o wool_n make_v cheaper_o it_o seem_v very_o unlikely_a for_o they_o ever_o to_o retrieve_v their_o almost_o lose_a trade_n for_o they_o can_v lessen_v the_o price_n of_o man_n labour_n to_o do_v it_o that_o be_v but_o sufficient_a when_o employ_v to_o maintain_v they_o 8_o that_o if_o the_o merchant_n slight_a and_o neglect_v the_o benefit_n of_o buy_v up_o the_o poor_n herring_n be_v good_a and_o merchantable_a ware_n and_o to_o transport_v they_o to_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o ever_o any_o be_v carry_v and_o to_o our_o own_o plantation_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o return_n to_o bring_v salt_n etc._n etc._n that_o then_o they_o be_v send_v by_o vessel_n of_o their_o

nothing_o as_o all_o attempt_n of_o this_o kind_n hitherto_o have_v do_v and_o ever_o will_n till_o they_o attain_v the_o art_n to_o catch_v fish_n without_o money_n and_o sell_v they_o for_o
