the_o cloathiers_n answer_n to_o and_o reason_n against_o the_o hamburgh-company_n whereas_o a_o certain_a print_a paper_n entitle_v a_o humble_a representation_n of_o the_o state_n of_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n have_v be_v industrious_o hand_v about_o in_o favour_n of_o the_o hamburgh-company_n we_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n most_o ready_o concur_v with_o the_o representer_n in_o the_o follow_a proposal_n viz._n i._o that_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n be_v take_v to_o prevent_v the_o exportation_n of_o wool_n ii_o that_o the_o price_n of_o the_o workmanship_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v keep_v up_o iii_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a we_o have_v all_o possible_a advantage_n of_o die_v material_n so_o that_o our_o good_n may_v be_v export_v more_o full_o manufacture_v iv_o that_o the_o measure_n for_o cloth_n may_v be_v due_o regulate_v and_o the_o goodness_n of_o our_o manufacture_n keep_v to_o a_o certain_a standard_n v._o that_o the_o wooll-broggers_a be_v suppress_v and_o the_o market_n at_o blackwell-hall_n bring_v to_o a_o due_a regulation_n vi_o that_o the_o aulnage_n be_v become_v oppressive_a and_o very_o vexatious_a these_o and_o all_o other_o wholesome_a regulation_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n we_o desire_v may_v be_v establish_v as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v think_v meet_a but_o with_o submission_n if_o the_o exportation_n of_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n be_v not_o free_a and_o the_o same_o render_v as_o cheap_a as_o possible_a to_o foreign_a market_n all_o our_o regulation_n will_v sail_v in_o their_o effect_n now_o the_o hamburgh-company_n have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o render_v our_o manufacture_n dear_a to_o foreign_a market_n as_o we_o shall_v immediate_o prove_v and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o man_n for_o who_o the_o representer_n so_o earnest_o plead_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o merchant-adventurer_n of_o england_n and_o therefore_o we_o suspect_v his_o design_n be_v to_o prejudice_v our_o trade_n or_o that_o he_o have_v no_o design_n at_o all_o for_o he_o forget_v himself_o and_o the_o cause_n he_o plead_v when_o he_o say_v the_o have_v but_o one_o seller_n of_o alum_n savour_v of_o a_o monopoly_n and_o so_o just_o speak_v against_o monopoly_n and_o so_o do_v we_o and_o therefore_o against_o the_o hamburgh-company_n because_o that_o have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v if_o

be_v much_o discourage_v and_o many_o of_o they_o lay_v down_o again_o which_o sufficient_o answer_v what_o the_o representer_n will_v fain_o have_v the_o world_n believe_v viz._n that_o the_o hamburgh-company_n be_v the_o guardian_n of_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n and_o to_o answer_v his_o other_o chimera_n will_v be_v needless_a and_o troublesome_a we_o now_o proceed_v to_o give_v our_o reason_n against_o the_o present_a or_o any_o other_o hamburgh-company_n a_o hamburgh-company_n be_v the_o most_o unnecessary_a of_o any_o company_n yet_o know_v for_o that_o hamburgh_n be_v so_o near_a home_o and_o have_v be_v always_o so_o much_o at_o england_n devotion_n that_o that_o trade_n may_v be_v easy_o manage_v without_o be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o hamburgh-company_n and_o therefore_o the_o charge_n to_o support_v the_o company_n be_v altogether_o needless_a and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o company_n raise_v that_o charge_n among_o themselves_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o member_n must_v have_v it_o again_o out_o of_o our_o manufacture_n so_o they_o will_v be_v sell_v the_o dear_a at_o foreign_a market_n which_o will_v very_o much_o prejudice_v the_o clothing_n trade_n here_o and_o occasion_n the_o erect_v again_o of_o other_o manufactury_n abroad_o and_o whereas_o the_o company_n so_o much_o extol_v their_o privilege_n and_o immunity_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o have_v both_o at_o home_o and_o abroad_o we_o know_v of_o none_o they_o have_v at_o home_o but_o this_o viz._n that_o one_o not_o free_a of_o that_o company_n pay_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o patent_n grant_v by_o king_n charles_n ii_o to_o a_o certain_a duchess_n for_o a_o long_a western_a cloth_n white_a upon_o exportation_n 5_o s._n per_fw-la cloth_n whereas_o one_o that_o be_v free_a pay_v but_o 1_o s._n 4_o d._n per_fw-la cloth_n over_o and_o above_o the_o king_n duty_n which_o look_v rather_o like_o a_o discouragement_n to_o our_o manufacture_n than_o a_o due_a immunity_n of_o the_o hamburgh-company_n and_o as_o to_o their_o privilege_n and_o immunity_n abroad_o whatever_o they_o be_v they_o be_v such_o as_o will_v not_o countervail_v the_o charge_n they_o must_v raise_v among_o themselves_o and_o by_o this_o they_o render_v our_o manufacture_n still_o dear_a to_o foreign_a market_n but_o we_o presume_v no_o body_n do_v grudge_n or_o envy_v they_o for_o their_o immunity_n they_o may_v sit_v quiet_a in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o if_o we_o have_v but_o a_o free_a trade_n we_o be_v content_v and_o with_o submission_n a_o free_a trade_n in_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n be_v what_o england_n be_v chief_o to_o consider_v and_o not_o those_o trifle_a and_o petty_a immunity_n of_o the_o hamburgh-company_n abroad_o from_o which_o england_n reap_v no_o benefit_n experience_n have_v show_v that_o a_o free_a and_o unrestrained_a trade_n be_v most_o beneficial_a to_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n for_o in_o the_o three_o succeed_a year_n after_o pass_v the_o act_n 1_o w._n m._n for_o a_o free_a trade_n there_o be_v buy_v and_o actual_o export_v though_o in_o a_o time_n of_o war_n to_o holland_n flanders_n brabant_n and_o germany_n of_o our_o woollen-manufacture_n to_o the_o value_n of_o 400000_o l._n and_o upward_o from_o the_o port_n of_o london_n only_o more_o than_o be_v export_v in_o the_o three_o year_n precede_v the_o say_a act_n when_o the_o trade_n be_v limit_v to_o the_o hamburgh-company_n only_o as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o entires_fw-la in_o the_o customhouse_n book_n relation_n be_v have_v thereunto_o a_o limit_a sett_n of_o man_n will_v buy_v but_o when_o they_o please_v but_o when_o the_o trade_n be_v free_a there_o will_v be_v constant_a buy_n experience_n have_v evidence_v this_o for_o when_o the_o trade_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o hamburgh-company_n they_o allow_v but_o two_o exportation_n in_o the_o year_n to_o the_o end_n the_o wealthy_a merchant_n may_v make_v their_o advantage_n of_o
