the_o same_o also_o i_o humble_o beg_v pardon_n for_o my_o boldness_n in_o give_v my_o reason_n for_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o make_v a_o act_n to_o this_o purpose_n 1._o it_o may_v prevent_v the_o owner_n of_o sheep_n from_o transport_v their_o own_o wool_n by_o be_v liable_a to_o give_v a_o account_n to_o who_o they_o sell_v it_o 2._o if_o no_o person_n may_v be_v suffer_v to_o buy_v and_o sell_v wool_n than_o it_o will_v hinder_v all_o engrosser_n of_o wool_n from_o transport_v any_o wool_n and_o will_v also_o be_v of_o great_a advantage_n to_o the_o manufacturer_n who_o be_v force_v to_o buy_v of_o the_o engrosser_n at_o a_o dear_a rate_n by_o four_o or_o five_o shilling_n a_o tod_n than_o the_o engrosser_n of_o the_o wool_n pay_v for_o it_o to_o the_o owner_n of_o the_o sheep_n and_o exporter_n of_o wool_n be_v worse_o than_o engrosser_n of_o corn._n 3._o my_o reason_n for_o prohibit_v all_o wool_n from_o be_v water-born_a be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o bribe_v a_o custom_n house_n officer_n to_o give_v up_o any_o bond_n that_o shall_v be_v enter_v for_o the_o relanding_n of_o any_o wool_n that_o shall_v pass_v coastways_o by_o coquet_n or_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o procure_v or_o counterfeit_v a_o false_a certificate_n that_o such_o wool_n be_v reland_v though_o it_o never_o be_v and_o i_o believe_v that_o pass_v of_o wool_n from_o port_n to_o port_n have_v be_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o transportation_n 4._o my_o reason_n for_o the_o have_v all_o wool_n that_o shall_v be_v screw_v pack_v or_o press_v pack_v forfeit_v be_v because_o wool_n may_v be_v pack_v or_o screw_v into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n either_o into_o cask_n or_o into_o close_a package_n and_o can_v be_v well_o discover_v from_o other_o good_n and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o be_v forfeit_v wherever_o it_o shall_v be_v find_v 5._o my_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v lawful_a for_o any_o person_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o instrument_n of_o find_v any_o wool_n that_o shall_v be_v water_n bear_v or_o press_v or_o screw_v or_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o that_o shall_v discover_v or_o seize_v the_o same_o may_v have_v all_o such_o wool_n woolfells_n or_o yarn_n make_v of_o wool_n to_o he_o she_o or_o their_o own_o use_n and_o the_o ship_n or_o boat_n or_o vessel_n also_o be_v because_o it_o will_v make_v all_o people_n diligent_a to_o find_v out_o such_o wool_n and_o also_o it_o will_v certain_o terrify_v all_o man_n from_o transport_v any_o for_o none_o will_v be_v safe_a in_o bribe_v nor_o can_v any_o man_n pretend_v to_o bride_n any_o without_o be_v in_o all_o probability_n likely_a to_o be_v betray_v either_o by_o labourer_n or_o boatman_n or_o the_o master_n of_o the_o ship_n or_o of_o the_o ship_n be_v company_n all_o which_o must_v be_v bribe_v and_o great_o otherwise_o they_o will_v discover_v 6._o all_o law_n heretofore_o make_v have_v not_o be_v effectual_a to_o hinder_v transportation_n though_o many_o good_a law_n have_v be_v make_v mix_v with_o corporal_a punishment_n as_o loss_n of_o life_n limb_n or_o imprisonment_n and_o have_v not_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n out_o of_o tenderness_n to_o the_o life_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o offender_n 7._o the_o wool_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v whole_o manufacture_v in_o the_o nation_n be_v of_o so_o great_a benefit_n to_o the_o nation_n as_o can_v be_v well_o express_v and_o indeed_o be_v the_o only_a support_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o and_o if_o it_o be_v transport_v will_v most_o certain_o prove_v the_o nation_n be_v ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o impoverish_v it_o in_o so_o great_a measure_n as_o can_v be_v express_v and_o may_v bring_v all_o into_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n which_o god_n in_o mercy_n prevent_v and_o those_o that_o do_v transport_v or_o aid_n or_o assist_v or_o conceal_v such_o transportation_n be_v the_o great_a enemy_n that_o the_o nation_n ever_o have_v or_o can_v have_v traitor_n only_o

death_n that_o ever_o be_v invent_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v starve_v to_o death_n for_o want_v of_o food_n and_o also_o if_o the_o chief_a trade_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v transmit_v to_o the_o neighbour_a nation_n than_o the_o strength_n and_o wealth_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v lose_v and_o may_v in_o a_o short_a time_n lay_v the_o nation_n open_a to_o be_v subdue_v by_o those_o that_o find_v the_o benefit_n of_o our_o fleece_n may_v use_v all_o hostile_a mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o sheep_n and_o the_o land_n that_o feed_v the_o sheep_n which_o sheep_n and_o land_n be_v more_o
