5 That no Person that was not a natural born Subject of England should be excused the Payment of Aliens Duties if naturaliz'd by Act of Parliament During this time the Affairs of England were in a flourishing Condition a plentiful Imployment to the Poor which was one great Occasion of the Reconciliation of the Houses of York and Lancaster During such time that there is full Imployment for the Poor the Designs of Great Persons are no way to be executed which is a Matter of Moment to be consider'd at this time And the Stop of the Exportation of our Wool will thoroughly effect the Matter The good Effect of this Settlement of Trade fully appear'd at the Death of this King who left in the Treasury One million eight hundred thousand Pounds which made above Three Millions of our Money In the last Year of this King's Reign there was a Change of Affairs and the Merchants of the Stilliard obtain'd footing again as appears by two Laws then made in their Favour The two last Laws except one that pass'd in this Reign Calice was at this time the grand Mart of English Goods Anno Decimo Nono Hen. VII Cap. 22 and there was a Law made in favour of the English Merchants prohibiting the Men of Calice to be Factors for Merchant-Strangers living in England Which Law was at this time repeal'd and all Laws made in Derogation of the Merchants of the Stilliard were repeal'd In the beginning of the Reign of Henry VIII Cap. 23 they got leave to Custom one Man 's Goods in the Name of another and indeed were favour'd this whole Reign Aliens Duties were taken off by the King's Proclamation which produc'd the like Effect that we feel at this time Anno 32. Hen. VIII Cap. 15 They got the whole Trade into their hands and it was with great difficulty recover'd in the Year 1552 the Fifth and Sixth Years of Edw. VI. in whose Journals it thus appears That the Merchants of the Stilliard shipp'd off Forty thousand Cloaths and our English Merchants not Four thousand and all was exported and imported in Foreign Bottoms The English Merchants being at this low ebb put in their Complaint to the King and Council against these Merchants of the Stilliard or Tutonicorum And they gave in their Answer to the said Complaint upon the 18th Day of January and upon the 25th their Answer was deliver'd to some Learned Council to peruse it Upon the 18th Day of February the Merchant-Adventurers put in their Replication to the said Answer and upon the 23d a Decree was made by the Board That upon Knowledge and Information of their Charters they had found first That they were no sufficient Corporation secondly That their Names Numbers and Nations were unknown thirdly When Edw. IV. did restore them to their Privileges it was upon the Condition they should cover no Foreigners Goods which they had done For these Considerations Sentence was given That they had forfeited their Liberties and were to be no more than Strangers Upon the 28th Day came Embassadors from Hamburgh Lubeck and the Regent of Flanders to speak upon the Behalf of these Merchants of the Stilliard and upon the 2d of March the Answer was committed to the Lord Chancellor the two Secretaries Sir Robert Bows and Sir John Baker Judge Mountague Griffith Sollicitors Gosnald Goodrick and Brooks It remained under Consideration until the 1st Day of May and then the Merchants of the Stilliard receiv'd their full Answer confirming the former Judgment of the Council This gave Incouragement to a great many English Merchants to come into this Company and in October 3. following they shipp'd off Forty thousand Cloaths At this time our Woollen Manufactures came again under the Consideration of the good Samaritane being miserably debas'd by these Merchants of the Stilliard as appears by the Preamble of the Statute Anno 5. 6. Edw. VI. cap. 6 and several discreet and sage Knights and Burghesses undertook the Matter by consulting divers honest Clothiers Woollen-Drapers c. a Law was made with great Caution to suppress Wool-broggers who were got to a great heighth And upon this Foundation Trade was carried on the whole Reign of Queen Elizabeth and never wholly thrown open until the Year 1663. What is here asserted is Matter of Fact and I appeal to the nicest Historian whether the Affairs of England were not in a much more flourishing Condition from Edward IV. to the End of Henry VII and from Edward VI. to the End of Queen Elizabeth than it hath been during such time that Trade was laid open to Merchant-Aliens Never was greater Marks of Kindness shewn by any Prince than ours by repeated Recommendations of the Care of Trade nay at last in Words at length by a Bill to incourage the fair Merchant our Manufactures and discourage clandestine Trading And the Hardships which have been undergone by our Poor through the Neglect thereof had never been born but from the entire Satisfaction and Confidence in His Majesty's Favour England is said to be a mighty Animal that will never die unless it destroy it self No Age can produce more unnatural Instances than ours nor was ever the true Interest of England in point of Trade more in danger of being supplanted by her own Sons And thus I leave our Woollen Manufactures Queen Elizabeth's Mines and the Indies of England to Consideration under the unfortunate Circumstances of poor Belisarus Date obolum Belisario quem invidia non culpa caecavit and with the like Inscription as he had wrote upon his Breast Dum Spiro Spero
