profit_n england_n get_v by_o ireland_n 1._o england_n have_v need_n get_v something_o where_o it_o have_v be_v at_o so_o vast_a expense_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n to_o deliver_v and_o protect_v

most_o of_o their_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n spend_v their_o estate_n here_o it_o be_v because_o they_o live_v where_o they_o like_v best_a but_o as_o ireland_n flourish_v more_o and_o grow_v great_a as_o it_o must_v do_v if_o they_o remain_v in_o peace_n and_o such_o a_o bill_n do_v not_o pass_v that_o humour_n by_o degree_n will_v alter_v and_o they_o will_v have_v every_o thing_n as_o much_o to_o their_o content_a and_o pleasure_n there_o as_o here_o and_o now_o they_o go_v as_o much_o to_o foreign_a part_n as_o england_n that_o england_n supply_v ireland_n with_o most_o of_o the_o commodity_n they_o consume_v be_v affirm_v and_o former_o it_o be_v so_o but_o before_o the_o war_n the_o case_n begin_v to_o alter_v and_o they_o be_v more_o supply_v by_o the_o return_n of_o their_o own_o product_n and_o manufacture_n send_v abroad_o then_o from_o england_n and_o if_o a_o peace_n continue_v there_o and_o they_o go_v on_o with_o their_o woollen_a manufacture_n they_o will_v soon_o want_v nothing_o from_o england_n but_o it_o be_v able_a work_a people_n and_o manufacturer_n and_o seaman_n and_o although_o england_n have_v prohibit_v their_o cattle_n yet_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o tallow_n etc._n etc._n come_v hither_o and_o anno_fw-la seven_o and_o 8_o of_o this_o king_n a_o act_n be_v make_v here_o to_o encourage_v the_o linneen_n manufacture_n of_o ireland_n and_o therein_o it_o be_v enact_v that_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a to_o bring_v any_o sort_n of_o hemp_n or_o flax_n and_o all_o the_o production_n thereof_o as_o thread_n yarn_n and_o linen_n of_o the_o growth_n and_o manufacture_n of_o ireland_n free_a from_o all_o manner_n of_o custom_n duty_n and_o imposition_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o next_o year_n the_o act_n which_o double_v the_o subsidy_n of_o tonnage_n and_o poundage_n do_v by_o a_o oversight_n as_o be_v suppose_v comprehend_v linen_n etc._n etc._n from_o ireland_n which_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n may_v be_v rectify_v it_o be_v assert_v that_o the_o trade_n in_o ireland_n be_v carry_v on_o most_o by_o english_a stock_n but_o the_o author_n be_v misinform_v in_o that_o particular_a and_o will_v soon_o find_v many_o foreigner_n send_v their_o stock_n thither_o when_o thing_n be_v settle_v as_o they_o do_v before_o the_o war_n and_o if_o they_o be_v english_a stock_n yet_o that_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deteriment_n to_o england_n to_o have_v the_o stock_n draw_v out_o of_o trade_n here_o to_o be_v employ_v there_o concern_v the_o weak_z the_o english_a interest_n it_o have_v have_v a_o answer_n and_o further_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o irish_a themselves_o say_v the_o woollen_a manufacture_n there_o for_o foreign_a exportation_n be_v small_a and_o if_o we_o prohibit_v that_o they_o will_v in_o all_o likelihood_n make_v the_o cloth_n they_o wear_v themselves_o which_o be_v much_o more_o where_o then_o be_v the_o weaken_v they_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o accession_n of_o strength_n by_o the_o diminution_n of_o our_o own_o who_o must_v support_v ourselves_o and_o they_o too_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o as_o the_o irish_a make_v and_o vend_n more_o woollen_a good_n abroad_o we_o shall_v vend_fw-mi

the_o less_o because_o all_o trader_n to_o foreign_a part_n know_v that_o the_o good_n they_o make_v be_v in_o imitation_n of_o we_o and_o they_o be_v wise_a enough_o to_o send_v such_o good_n as_o they_o find_v be_v esteem_v and_o will_v sell_v and_o such_o the_o english_a make_v and_o send_v and_o the_o go_v off_o of_o many_o of_o our_o woollen_a manufacturer_n to_o ireland_n be_v too_o convince_a a_o proof_n to_o be_v deny_v that_o the_o increase_n in_o one_o kingdom_n must_v be_v the_o decrease_n of_o the_o other_o and_o now_o the_o author_n of_o some_o thought_n etc._n etc._n be_v come_v to_o the_o main_a and_o indeed_o the_o only_a point_n on_o which_o the_o controversy_n turn_v and_o that_o be_v whether_o in_o ireland_n they_o can_v make_v the_o same_o woollen_a manufacture_n cheap_a than_o in_o england_n and_o this_o the_o say_a author_n determine_v in_o the_o negative_a but_o leave_v we_o to_o seek_v the_o proof_n of_o it_o where_o we_o can_v find_v it_o and_o seek_v to_o cloud_v the_o matter_n with_o a_o obscure_a way_n of_o argue_v but_o such_o as_o every_o one_o must_v see_v through_o especial_o such_o discern_a judgement_n as_o the_o matter_n be_v now_o
