that_o the_o parliament_n be_v break_v he_o tell_v the_o king_n he_o have_v 8000_o foot_n and_o 1000_o horse_n to_o reduce_v this_o kingdom_n to_o obedience_n my_o lord_n consider_v in_o what_o a_o

dishonour_n great_a let_v the_o honour_n be_v when_o a_o state_n be_v so_o distress_a by_o wisdom_n and_o prudence_n to_o relieve_v it_o i_o do_v remember_v when_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o rome_n

will_v render_v we_o very_o considerable_a abroad_o his_o majesty_n have_v grant_v our_o brethren_n in_o scotland_n their_o demand_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o liberty_n and_o doubt_v not_o but_o with_o humility_n and_o duty_n may_v likewise_o obtain_v what_o we_o shall_v desire_v concern_v religion_n and_o liberty_n gracious_o from_o his_o majesty_n hand_n and_o i_o be_o most_o

may_v show_v a_o capability_n with_o unite_a mind_n and_o well_o design_v to_o effect_v great_a matter_n and_o may_v by_o unity_n of_o counsel_n raise_v we_o up_o again_o in_o the_o world_n to_o a_o good_a estimation_n and_o as_o great_a a_o honour_n as_o ever_o i_o hope_v god_n will_v bless_v we_o with_o good_a counsel_n and_o that_o the_o king_n as_o a_o gracious_a good_a and_o prudent_a prince_n and_o all_o his_o subject_n join_v in_o this_o way_n no_o doubt_n but_o god_n will_v bring_v we_o again_o to_o a_o convenient_a condition_n of_o consistancie_n yea_o since_o our_o army_n be_v unite_v under_o one_o king_n and_o nation_n and_o in_o one_o island_n from_o a_o state_n gasp_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a thence_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o condition_n of_o prosperity_n therefore_o let_v we_o procure_v and_o maintain_v a_o good_a correspondency_n among_o ourselves_o and_o for_o the_o proposition_n it_o much_o start_v we_o at_o first_o but_o i_o must_v say_v thus_o much_o that_o where_o war_n have_v fall_v between_o nation_n it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a nor_o great_a dishonour_n to_o let_v man_n part_v upon_o reasonble_a condition_n though_o with_o good_a consideration_n our_o king_n pass_v many_o time_n into_o france_n and_o return_v with_o recompense_n but_o this_o a_o friendly_a demonstration_n of_o one_o nation_n to_o another_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o point_n of_o honour_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o state_n wherein_o we_o now_o be_v two_o army_n in_o the_o field_n and_o consider_v it_o be_v not_o through_o our_o default_n nor_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o these_o calamity_n the_o instrument_n will_v be_v make_v a_o example_n and_o the_o dishonour_n will_v light_v upon_o they_o and_o then_o certain_o we_o do_v conceive_v a_o wise_a and_o prudent_a senate_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o some_o thing_n by_o necessity_n be_v no_o dishonour_n a_o state_n lie_v gasp_v and_o bleed_v to_o restore_v it_o be_v

of_o this_o state_n and_o government_n it_o be_v against_o my_o mind_n that_o popery_n or_o superstition_n shall_v any_o way_n increase_n within_o this_o kingdom_n and_o will_v restrain_v the_o same_o by_o cause_v the_o law_n to_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n i_o be_o resolve_v to_o provide_v against_o the_o jesuit_n and_o papist_n by_o set_v forth_o a_o proclamation_n with_o all_o speed_n command_v

and_o then_o our_o money_n must_v stay_v within_o our_o kingdom_n and_o all_o the_o trade_n return_n in_o money_n to_o encourage_v you_o to_o this_o i_o give_v you_o one_o example_n that_o if_o the_o

from_o my_o theme_n which_o be_v the_o decay_n of_o trade_n and_o of_o woollen_a commodity_n i_o must_v first_o therefore_o present_a to_o your_o consideration_n the_o cause_n thereof_o in_o my_o observation_n whereof_o some_o be_v internal_a and_o some_o external_a the_o internal_a have_v proceed_v from_o she_o own_o false_a make_n as_o stretch_v and_o such_o like_a practice_n whereby_o indeed_o our_o cloth_n be_v discredit_v i_o speak_v by_o experience_n from_o danzig_n and_o holland_n northward_o to_o constantinople_n as_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o due_a time_n this_o false_a lucre_n of_o our_o own_o and_o the_o interruption_n in_o the_o die_a and_o dress_v project_v and_o not_o overcome_v give_v the_o first_o wound_n though_o can_v it_o have_v be_v compass_v it_o have_v double_v the_o value_n of_o our_o commodity_n this_o have_v cause_v the_o dutch_a silesian_n and_o venetian_n to_o attempt_v the_o make_n of_o cloth_n and_o now_o by_o experience_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v the_o half_a be_v not_o vent_v that_o be_v in_o the_o former_a age._n another_o internal_a cause_n have_v rise_v from_o such_o imposition_n as_o have_v make_v our_o cloth_n too_o dear_a abroad_o and_o consequent_o teach_v other_o to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o another_o internal_a cause_n have_v spring_v from_o pressaries_n upon_o tender_a conscience_n that_o many_o of_o our_o clothier_n and_o other_o have_v forsake_v the_o kingdom_n and_o carry_v their_o art_n with_o they_o to_o the_o unexpressible_a detriment_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o external_a cause_n have_v be_v the_o want_n of_o perfection_n and_o countenance_n to_o our_o merchant_n establish_v abroad_o in_o factory_n by_o the_o state_n and_o by_o the_o treaty_n whereby_o the_o capitulation_n have_v not_o be_v keep_v nor_o assure_v unto_o they_o neither_o in_o prussia_n nor_o in_o the_o sound_n nor_o hamburgh_n nor_o holland_n nor_o in_o the_o east_n and_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o laban_n never_o change_v jacob_n wage_n so_o often_o as_o the_o hollander_n have_v force_v our_o merchant_n to_o change_v their_o residence_n and_o the_o very_a course_n of_o this_o trade_n by_o law_n and_o trick_n for_o their_o own_o advantage_n of_o which_o the_o merchant-adventurer_n will_v more_o full_o inform_v you_o another_o external_a cause_n be_v lamentable_a report_n the_o increase_n of_o the_o pirate_n and_o the_o insecurity_n of_o the_o mediterranean_a sea_n whereby_o bristol_n and_o the_o western_a port_n that_o can_v have_v so_o great_a ship_n as_o london_n be_v beat_v out_o of_o trade_n and_o fish_n and_o if_o once_o those_o thief_n shall_v find_v the_o way_n to_o bank_n and_o new-found_a land_n they_o will_v undo_v the_o west_n part_n of_o england_n i_o will_v trouble_v you_o with_o a_o consideration_n very_o considerable_a in_o our_o government_n whether_o indeed_o london_n do_v not_o monopolise_v all_o trade_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v no_o good_a state_n of_o a_o body_n to_o have_v a_o fat_a head_n thin_a gut_n and_o lean_a member_n but_o to_o bring_v something_o before_o you_o of_o remedy_n i_o say_v thus_o for_o my_o first_o ground_n that_o if_o our_o cloth_n be_v not_o vent_v as_o in_o former_a year_n let_v we_o embrace_v some_o other_o way_n to_o spend_v and_o vent_v our_o wools._n cloth_n be_v a_o heavy_a and_o hot_a wear_n and_o serve_v but_o one_o cold_a corner_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o we_o embrace_v the_o new_a drapery_n and_o encourage_v the_o walloon_n and_o other_o by_o privilege_n and_o naturalization_n we_o shall_v employ_v all_o the_o wool_n we_o have_v set_v more_o people_n a_o work_n then_o by_o cloth_n and_o a_o pound_n of_o wool_n in_o those_o stuff_v true_a make_v will_v out-sell_a two_o pound_n in_o cloth_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v supply_v france_n italy_n spain_n barbary_n and_o some_o part_n of_o asia_n by_o such_o light_n and_o fine_a stuff_n as_o will_v fit_v those_o warman_n region_n and_o et_fw-fr have_v sufficient_a for_o the_o cold_a climate_n to_o be_v spend_v and_o adventure_v in_o true_a make_v cloth_n by_o the_o reputation_n both_o of_o our_o nation_n and_o commodity_n but_o in_o this_o course_n i_o must_v observe_v that_o these_o stranger_n so_o fit_a to_o be_v nourish_v and_o be_v protestant_n may_v have_v privilege_n to_o use_v their_o own_o right_n in_o religion_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o scandalous_a as_o the_o dutch_a and_o french_a have_v grant_v unto_o they_o by_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o certain_o the_o settle_n of_o religion_n secure_a in_o england_n the_o fear_n whereof_o make_v many_o weak_a mind_n to_o waver_v and_o abandon_v this_o country_n be_v and_o will_v be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o resettle_v both_o the_o great_a and_o lesser_a manufacture_n of_o woollen_a commodity_n for_o the_o external_a cause_n we_o must_v fly_v to_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o his_o majesty_n gracious_a goodness_n and_o protection_n who_o i_o be_o confident_a when_o the_o whole_a

part_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o trade_n i_o be_o confident_a i_o say_v that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v you_o all_o favour_n fit_a to_o be_v confer_v upon_o good_a subject_n and_o not_o only_o protect_v you_o abroad_o by_o his_o force_n and_o authority_n and_o by_o treaty_n with_o his_o neighbour_n but_o by_o increase_v the_o privilege_n of_o merchant_n at_o home_n and_o confirm_v all_o their_o
