etc._n etc._n to_o germany_n silesia_n etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o we_o have_v formet_o great_a quantity_n of_o linen_n but_o when_o we_o can_v no_o long_o take_v their_o linen_n they_o be_v force_v to_o set_v up_o a_o manufacture_n of_o woollen_a by_o which_o we_o have_v almost_o whole_o lose_v that_o profitable_a trade_n we_o have_v now_o a_o trade_n with_o spain_n italy_n and_o turkey_n from_o whence_o we_o import_n great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n raw_a silk_n and_o grogern-yarn_n but_o if_o we_o must_v wear_v east_n india_n manufacture_n we_o can_v use_v their_o silk_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o they_o must_v short_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o german_n as_o to_o our_o plantation_n and_o ireland_n to_o which_o we_o send_v great_a quantity_n of_o our_o manufacture_n if_o the_o east_n india_n silk_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o mode_n here_o they_o will_v be_v so_o there_o the_o order_n that_o be_v send_v from_o thence_o be_v to_o send_v over_o such_o manufacture_n as_o be_v most_o fashionable_a in_o england_n so_o that_o instead_o of_o a_o great_a exportation_n we_o shall_v almost_o whole_o lose_v what_o we_o now_o have_v but_o in_o case_n it_o be_v possible_a to_o vend_v more_o we_o can_v make_v much_o great_a quantity_n as_o we_o do_v last_o year_n when_o there_o be_v a_o considerable_a demand_n for_o they_o obj._n that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o use_v these_o india_n good_n they_o will_v be_v carry_v to_o other_o place_n where_o we_o now_o send_v our_o manufacture_n and_o be_v there_o use_v instead_o of_o they_o answ_n if_o this_o be_v true_a than_o the_o east-india_n trade_n will_v not_o receive_v so_o great_a prejudice_n as_o be_v pretend_v but_o this_o be_v fallacious_a for_o the_o exporter_n always_o send_v to_o furnish_v all_o foreign_a market_n with_o what_o they_o want_v and_o we_o be_v very_o sensible_a that_o they_o have_v and_o will_v be_v sufficient_o supply_v with_o these_o india_n manufacture_n which_o will_v very_o much_o obstruct_v our_o trade_n and_o therefore_o we_o humble_o conceive_v its_o high_o reasonable_a this_o bill_n shall_v pass_v that_o see_v the_o mischief_n they_o will_v do_v we_o in_o foreign_a market_n can_v be_v prevent_v we_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n be_v help_v by_o prevent_v our_o fall_n into_o the_o same_o mischief_n at_o home_n obj._n that_o these_o india_n manufacture_n do_v not_o much_o hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n but_o chief_o those_o of_o italy_n france_n and_o holland_n answ_n they_o do_v direct_o hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o vast_a quantity_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n as_o the_o norwich_n london_n canterbury_n antherines_n and_o other_o sort_n of_o stuff_n as_o also_o the_o manufacture_n make_v in_o bristol_n keter_v sudbury_n stowmarket_n kendal_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o they_o do_v and_o will_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n destroy_v all_o our_o silk_n manufacture_n which_o of_o late_o be_v bring_v to_o such_o perfection_n as_o better_a silk_n be_v not_o make_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v cheap_a to_o we_o than_o any_o can_v come_v from_o the_o forementioned_a country_n and_o have_v almost_o whole_o beat_v they_o out_o of_o use_n so_o that_o of_o late_a year_n there_o have_v be_v no_o considerable_a quantity_n import_v except_o black_a lutestring_n alamodes_n and_o velvet_n for_o which_o use_v the_o india_n silk_n will_v not_o serve_v so_o that_o the_o india_n manufacture_n be_v direct_o opposite_a and_o destructive_a to_o our_o own_o obj._n that_o silk_n be_v a_o manufacture_n of_o foreign_a extract_n and_o if_o the_o wear_v of_o silk_n can_v be_v abolish_v it_o will_v be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o kingdom_n answ_n that_o the_o abolish_n of_o all_o foreign_a wrought_v silk_n that_o be_v the_o return_v of_o our_o money_n will_v undoubted_o be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o kingdom_n and_o it_o be_v that_o we_o now_o only_o contend_v for_o but_o we_o do_v assert_v and_o plain_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o wear_n of_o silk_n which_o be_v manufacture_v here_o of_o such_o raw_a silk_n as_o be_v the_o return_v of_o our_o woollen_a and_o other_o manufacture_n export_v as_o the_o italian_a and_o turkey_n silk_n be_v be_v much_o more_o beneficial_a to_o this_o kingdom_n then_o if_o we_o wear_v they_o not_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o employ_v double_a the_o number_n of_o people_n we_o shall_v do_v if_o we_o be_v clad_v in_o our_o own_o manufacture_n obj._n that_o if_o we_o take_v not_o these_o good_n the_o indian_n will_v let_v we_o have_v no_o salt-petre_a muslin_n white_a calico_n pepper_n drug_n raw_a silk_n and_o other_o good_n we_o want_v answ_n this_o be_v such_o a_o objection_n as_o scarce_o ever_o be_v make_v before_o by_o mankind_n it_o be_v just_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v we_o will_v not_o let_v the_o venetian_n and_o other_o nation_n we_o trade_n with_o have_v our_o lead_n tynn_n etc._n etc._n because_o they_o will_v not_o take_v our_o cloth_n the_o french_a have_v prohibit_v all_o their_o silk_n and_o paint_a calico_n above_o ten_o year_n past_a yet_o have_v ever_o since_o trade_v with_o the_o indian_n for_o these_o commodity_n and_o we_o believe_v never_o yet_o want_v salt-petre_a etc._n etc._n and_o why_o they_o shall_v refuse_v we_o these_o good_n be_v hard_o to_o imagine_v obj._n if_o this_o bill_n pass_v it_o will_v be_v to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o scotch_a and_o dutch_a who_o will_v bring_v in_o these_o india_n good_n among_o we_o at_o a_o much_o dear_a rate_n answ_n one_o will_v think_v in_o common_a reason_n there_o can_v be_v a_o more_o effectual_a course_n take_v to_o hinder_v that_o than_o by_o prohibit_v the_o wear_n of_o they_o for_o if_o they_o may_v be_v free_o wear_v the_o scotch_a and_o dutch_a will_v have_v a_o great_a advantage_n because_o they_o pay_v little_a or_o no_o duty_n to_o what_o our_o east-india_n merchant_n must_v pay_v and_o the_o very_a hope_n that_o the_o person_n who_o be_v concern_v in_o promote_a the_o scotch_a company_n have_v of_o vend_v the_o wrought_a manufacture_n in_o england_n be_v as_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v one_o great_a cause_n for_o the_o set_n up_o that_o trade_n for_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o some_o of_o the_o most_o zealous_a promoter_n of_o that_o company_n be_v the_o great_a stickler_n against_o this_o bill_n obj._n that_o the_o pass_v this_o bill_n will_v discourage_v navigation_n answ_n this_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a objection_n for_o one_o ship_n of_o 500_o ton_n freight_v with_o these_o good_n will_v bring_v in_o above_o 1,000,000_o l._n worth_n at_o but_o 20_v per_fw-la pound_n which_o be_v a_o moderate_a value_n many_o of_o these_o silk_n be_v worth_a 3_o and_o 4_o l._n per_fw-la pound_n so_o that_o if_o this_o single_a freight_n be_v wear_v here_o it_o will_v ruin_v above_o twenty_o time_n as_o much_o ship_n which_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o coast_v trade_n to_o furnish_v the_o english_a manufacturer_n and_o their_o dependence_n with_o coal_n corn_n butter_n cheese_n and_o other_o necessary_n as_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v more_o full_o demonstrate_v obj._n if_o there_o be_v a_o multitude_n of_o hand_n want_v work_n the_o herring_n fishery_n will_v employ_v they_o answ_n the_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n that_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o woollen_a and_o silk_n manufacture_n be_v very_o unfit_a to_o catch_v fish_n but_o since_o it_o be_v object_v that_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v it_o will_v discourage_v navigation_n here_o be_v a_o proper_a salvo_n for_o that_o sore_a let_v the_o merchant_n employ_v their_o stock_n and_o the_o seaman_n their_o time_n to_o catch_v these_o herring_n and_o then_o we_o be_v very_o sure_o they_o will_v be_v much_o better_o employ_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o nation_n than_o they_o now_o be_v obj._n that_o if_o the_o east_n india_n manufacture_n do_v great_o prejudice_v our_o own_o it_o be_v not_o adviseable_a they_o shall_v be_v prohibit_v in_o this_o time_n of_o war_n because_o of_o the_o company_n great_a loss_n and_o misfortune_n and_o their_o want_n of_o money_n answ_n that_o the_o company_n have_v meet_v with_o great_a loss_n must_v needs_o be_v grant_v and_o that_o so_o great_a a_o treasure_n fall_v into_o the_o enemy_n hand_n have_v be_v of_o very_o ill_a consequence_n to_o the_o nation_n and_o none_o know_v but_o such_o misfortune_n may_v again_o attend_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o less_o trade_n of_o this_o kind_n in_o so_o dangerous_a a_o time_n the_o better_a for_o the_o nation_n if_o they_o want_v money_n so_o do_v the_o english_a manufacturer_n and_o whether_o the_o money_n we_o now_o have_v to_o trade_n with_o shall_v be_v send_v out_o to_o purchase_v good_n full_o manufacture_v for_o our_o own_o consumption_n which_o may_v fall_v into_o the_o enemy_n
