carry_v their_o woollen_a manufacture_n to_o foreign_a part_n and_o the_o imposition_n former_o lay_v be_v sufficient_a to_o hinder_v they_o from_o come_v hither_o so_o that_o they_o must_v carry_v they_o no_o where_o but_o my_o lord_n if_o we_o have_v destroy_v the_o woollen_a manufacture_n in_o ireland_n be_v it_o necessary_a that_o all_o will_v be_v make_v in_o england_n that_o be_v hinder_v

this_o will_v not_o be_v the_o case_n of_o england_n for_o holland_n scotland_n venice_n germany_n and_o france_n pretend_v to_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o france_n have_v be_v always_o equal_a if_o not_o superior_a to_o we_o in_o their_o skill_n of_o make_v stuff_n and_o can_v it_o be_v conceive_v that_o they_o will_v not_o share_v if_o not_o in_o a_o great_a

receive_v the_o whole_a profit_n at_o second_o hand_n than_o at_o best_a to_o divide_v it_o with_o other_o nation_n and_o chief_o with_o france_n which_o have_v always_o send_v stuff_n to_o spain_n and_o portugal_n as_o well_o as_o england_n and_o these_o be_v the_o only_a nation_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o which_o ireland_n have_v deal_v with_o in_o that_o kind_n and_o tho'_o for_o a_o few_o year_n before_o the_o war_n ireland_n may_v increase_v in_o their_o manufacture_n of_o stuff_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o england_n for_o those_o manufacture_n both_o then_o and_o during_o the_o war_n have_v advance_v prodigious_o here_o as_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o entry_n in_o the_o custom-house_n as_o well_o as_o by_o a_o great_a consumption_n of_o they_o at_o home_n and_o it_o seem_v a_o very_a hard_a case_n to_o hinder_v ireland_n from_o enrich_v themselves_o and_o in_o consequence_n this_o kingdom_n at_o the_o expense_n of_o other_o nation_n but_o it_o seem_v we_o be_v particular_o afraid_a of_o ireland_n because_o we_o be_v tell_v they_o can_v under-work_n we_o and_o send_v their_o commodity_n to_o a_o foreign_a market_n cheap_a than_o we_o which_o fact_n with_o humble_a submission_n be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v true_a common_a labour_n in_o husbandry_n be_v much_o cheap_a there_o than_o here_o but_o such_o as_o require_v skill_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o so_o and_o this_o be_v true_a not_o only_o in_o ireland_n but_o in_o all_o country_n thin_a of_o people_n for_o there_o can_v be_v bring_v together_o number_n enough_o to_o carry_v on_o any_o manufacture_n with_o success_n and_o if_o they_o can_v stock_n and_o material_n be_v want_v to_o set_v they_o to_o work_v beside_o natural_o man_n choose_v rather_o to_o live_v in_o idleness_n and_o sloth_n than_o labour_n and_o in_o poor_a country_n where_o they_o can_v satisfy_v the_o ordinary_a occasion_n of_o life_n with_o little_a industry_n they_o will_v hardly_o be_v persuade_v to_o learn_v a_o art_n to_o which_o it_o will_v cost_v they_o seven_o year_n pain_n to_o attain_v and_o those_o who_o give_v themselves_o that_o trouble_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v better_o pay_v than_o in_o a_o well_o people_a country_n where_o they_o must_v either_o work_v or_o strave_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o in_o the_o west-indies_n where_o the_o labour_n of_o a_o black_a be_v not_o worth_a above_o six_o penny_n a_o day_n yet_o a_o ordinary_a artificer_n will_v earn_v a_o crown_n and_o sometime_o ten_o shilling_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o linen_n
it_o secret_a discouragement_n and_o let_v it_o decline_v by_o degree_n they_o may_v divert_v it_o by_o set_v up_o the_o linen_n manufacture_n in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o woollen_a most_o prosper_v perhaps_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n now_o they_o see_v the_o pleasure_n of_o england_n will_v do_v their_o endeavour_n to_o divert_v their_o stock_n and_o people_n to_o the_o linen_n manufacture_n but_o with_o the_o utmost_a submission_n i_o say_v it_o that_o it_o seem_v too_o severe_a to_o tell_v they_o and_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o so_o solemn_a a_o manner_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o manufacture_n any_o of_o their_o own_o product_n it_o bear_v a_o sting_n in_o the_o tail_n of_o it_o and_o teach_v they_o this_o hard_a lesson_n that_o whenever_o hereafter_o they_o with_o great_a charge_n hazard_n and_o perhaps_o forty_o year_n industry_n arrive_v to_o a_o degree_n of_o perfection_n in_o any_o thing_n if_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o real_a or_o mistake_a interest_n of_o england_n to_o suppress_v it_o all_o their_o hope_n and_o endeavour_n must_v be_v dash_v to_o piece_n in_o a_o moment_n their_o cattle_n be_v already_o prohibit_v their_o corn_n their_o leather_n their_o tallow_n be_v so_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n they_o can_v come_v from_o the_o west-indies_n but_o must_v touch_v in_o england_n but_o this_o bill_n go_v far_a yet_o it_o say_v in_o effect_n they_o shall_v not_o bring_v their_o manufacture_n here_o nor_o carry_v they_o any_o where_o else_o why_o may_v they_o not_o expect_v that_o another_o parliament_n will_v say_v that_o the_o carry_v abroad_o their_o beef_n will_v lesson_n the_o price_n of_o our_o beef_n the_o carry_v abroad_o their_o corn_n will_v lessen_v the_o price_n of_o our_o corn_n and_o so_o the_o

my_o poor_a opinion_n have_v be_v more_o owe_v to_o the_o stock-jobbing_a and_o ill_a conduct_n of_o the_o manager_n than_o any_o reason_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o linen_n be_v make_v in_o lancashire_n westmoreland_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o north_n of_o england_n who_o begin_v already_o to_o grumble_v at_o the_o

to_o prohibit_v the_o linen_n manufacture_n in_o ireland_n as_o now_o the_o woollen_a and_o no_o doubt_n the_o parliament_n will_v not_o want_v petition_n to_o that_o purpose_n they_o trade_n in_o no_o commodity_n that_o england_n do_v not_o produce_v and_o if_o they_o must_v not_o trade_v in_o those_o they_o must_v trade_v in_o none_o and_o then_o the_o english_a at_o best_a will_v quit_v

cloth_n do_v not_o thrive_v so_o well_o in_o ireland_n as_o in_o holland_n where_o common_a labour_n be_v three_o time_n as_o dear_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o woollen_a cloth_n can_v

a_o evidence_n that_o they_o thrive_v as_o we_o experience_v every_o day_n that_o when_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v most_o demand_v wage_n run_v high_a but_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o

lord_n i_o can_v be_v glad_a to_o know_v how_o many_o people_n have_v go_v to_o ireland_n that_o can_v live_v in_o england_n few_o man_n leave_v their_o country_n their_o acquaintance_n and_o relation_n but_o for_o necessity_n because_o they_o will_v not_o hang_v or_o starve_v at_o home_n man_n who_o be_v in_o debt_n unfortunate_a or_o spend_v what_o they_o have_v and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o ireland_n to_o go_v to_o will_v go_v to_o the_o plantation_n or_o else_o to_o holland_n and_o other_o country_n and_o be_v lose_v to_o the_o kingdom_n for_o ever_o but_o what_o shall_v those_o man_n do_v that_o be_v breed_v up_o to_o that_o manufacture_n in_o ireland_n and_o understand_v nothing_o else_o man_n that_o have_v spend_v their_o whole_a life-time_n in_o learning_n a_o art_n will_v not_o go_v to_o school_n again_o to_o learn_v a_o new_a one_o they_o will_v rather_o leave_v their_o country_n and_o find_v another_o where_o they_o may_v receive_v more_o encouragement_n they_o can_v come_v to_o england_n for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o poor_a prohibit_v they_o to_o live_v in_o any_o parish_n holland_n will_v receive_v the_o protestant_n and_o france_n the_o papist_n or_o perhaps_o they_o will_v go_v to_o some_o country_n and_o set_v up_o the_o manufacture_n where_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o pretend_v to_o all_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n will_v promote_v any_o proposition_n of_o that_o kind_n and_o with_o open_a arm_n receive_v those_o who_o will_v give_v they_o any_o assistance_n it_o be_v the_o duke_n of_o alva_n drive_v out_o the_o cremin_n that_o set_v up_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n in_o england_n and_o the_o persecution_n in_o france_n have_v very_o much_o improve_v it_o and_o many_o of_o the_o french_a protestant_n for_o want_v of_o

there_o and_o after_o all_o be_v we_o sure_a my_o lord_n this_o act_n will_v answer_v the_o end_v design_v by_o it_o i_o will_v not_o suggest_v so_o unbecoming_a a_o thought_n as_o that_o the_o

have_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o in_o the_o coast_n of_o kent_n and_o sussex_n for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n beside_o to_o prohibit_v wool_n go_v to_o

shall_v hinder_v they_o from_o share_v in_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o law_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v they_o will_v send_v it_o where_o they_o can_v get_v most_o for_o it_o notwithstanding_o this_o

from_o send_v any_o of_o their_o woollen_a manufacture_n abroad_o they_o will_v not_o agree_v together_o to_o spend_v none_o but_o their_o own_o at_o home_n which_o if_o they_o do_v this_o act_n will_v recoil_v upon_o england_n with_o a_o witness_n the_o bill_n prohibit_v their_o import_a irish_a cattle_n have_v put_v they_o upon_o navigation_n and_o a_o extentive_a trade_n with_o other_o
