a_o short_a abstract_n of_o a_o case_n which_o be_v last_o session_n present_v to_o the_o parliament_n be_v a_o true_a relation_n of_o the_o rise_n and_o progress_n of_o the_o east-india_n company_n london_n the_o case_n be_v since_o reprint_v and_o sell_v by_o a._n baldwin_n in_o warwick-lane_n london_n show_v how_o their_o manufacture_n have_v be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o manufacture_n of_o england_n and_o what_o endeavour_n have_v be_v use_v for_o and_o against_o any_o restriction_n together_o with_o some_o remark_n and_o query_n thereon_o that_o for_o several_a year_n after_o the_o east-india_n company_n be_v establish_v they_o be_v afraid_a to_o bring_v in_o manufactured_a good_n which_o they_o know_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o our_o own_o but_o now_o by_o their_o great_a stock_n and_o interest_n they_o be_v get_v over_o these_o fear_n and_o bring_v in_o vast_a quantity_n oppose_v all_o kind_n of_o restraint_n though_o they_o be_v convince_v and_o have_v declare_v their_o manufacture_n be_v prejudicial_a to_o this_o kingdom_n that_o as_o their_o manufacture_n increase_v our_o own_o be_v discourage_v and_o wool_n reduce_v so_o low_a that_o a_o act_n be_v make_v for_o bury_v in_o woollen_a and_o the_o manufacturer_n at_o the_o same_o time_n reduce_v to_o great_a necessity_n and_o many_o ruin_v thereby_o that_o during_o great_a part_n of_o the_o late_a war_n the_o east_n india_n trade_n be_v under_o some_o discouragement_n and_o while_o it_o be_v so_o our_o english_a manufacture_n flourish_v very_o much_o and_o extend_v to_o several_a

unless_o they_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n restrain_v make_v their_o application_n to_o the_o parliament_n and_o in_o two_o succeed_a session_n a_o restrain_v bill_n be_v pass_v in_o their_o favour_n

million_o for_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o government_n be_v the_o great_a inducement_n for_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o new_a company_n and_o the_o reason_n the_o manufacturer_n do_v not_o then_o so_o vigorous_o complain_v and_o solicit_v against_o the_o establishment_n as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v proceed_v from_o the_o fair_a promise_v give_v by_o the_o new_a east-india_n man_n and_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o more_o favourable_a opportunity_n be_v unwilling_a to_o disturb_v the_o loan_n so_o necessary_a then_o to_o be_v raise_v that_o the_o manufacturer_n be_v deceive_v by_o these_o east_n india_n trader_n fair_a promise_n and_o find_v that_o the_o late_a great_a importation_n and_o wear_v of_o their_o indian_a manufacture_n be_v increase_v and_o have_v already_o in_o a_o

short_a time_n prove_v to_o the_o utter_a ruin_n of_o several_a place_n where_o such_o manufacture_n have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n be_v establish_v be_v therefore_o come_v again_o to_o represent_v
