A34601	The Corporation of weavers at London and Canterbury do humbly offer to the consideration of the Honourable House of Commons that this kingdom will sustain great evils and damage, if a bill now depending in this House should pass into a law, which bill enjoyns the wear of cloath or leather, and consequently restrains the wear of silks and stuffs mixed with wooll, silk and hair, viz.		1689 (1689)	Wing C6343; ESTC R40889	2,154	1

the_o manufacture_n thereof_o for_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o coarse_a clothes_n and_o stuff_n make_v of_o english_a wool_n be_v transport_v beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o chief_o to_o

it_o the_o consumption_n of_o silk_n and_o hair_n be_v abate_v as_o it_o must_v be_v by_o the_o restraint_n of_o the_o wear_v thereof_o the_o exportation_n of_o cloth_n which_o go_v out_o full_o

and_o mohair_n yarn_n so_o that_o whereas_o the_o turkey_n company_n have_v so_o late_o export_v 25_o or_o 30_o thousand_o clothes_n in_o one_o year_n they_o will_v by_o this_o restraint_n be_v
