wool_n shall_v be_v raise_v to_o 18_o d._n etc._n etc._n per_fw-la pound_n than_o other_o nation_n will_v under-sell_a we_o with_o cloth_n they_o make_v of_o french_a and_o spanish_a wool_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o can_v be_v because_o the_o spanish_a wool_n be_v so_o short_a and_o fine_a and_o the_o french_a so_o short_a and_o course_n that_o they_o will_v neither_o work_v together_o nor_o yet_o apart_o without_o a_o mixture_n of_o we_o but_o upon_o very_o unequal_a term_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o be_v well_o know_v and_o affirm_v by_o person_n of_o good_a judgement_n and_o experience_n reason_n vii_o that_o without_o these_o expedient_n for_o promote_a industry_n all_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n now_o in_o be_v can_v never_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o our_o wool_n nor_o keep_v it_o up_o at_o the_o price_n it_o now_o yield_v nor_o yet_o have_v it_o convert_v at_o home_o because_o all_o the_o wool_n of_o england_n and_o ireland_n be_v as_o it_o be_v monopolise_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o clothier_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n notwithstanding_o they_o can_v by_o their_o present_a course_n of_o trade_n convert_v it_o half_o so_o fast_o as_o it_o grow_v which_o be_v so_o they_o may_v keep_v down_o the_o price_n at_o their_o pleasure_n they_o have_v power_n to_o hang_v etc._n etc._n those_o that_o export_v it_o from_o they_o if_o they_o can_v catch_v they_o which_o intolerable_a grievance_n by_o the_o expedient_n propose_v will_v most_o happy_o be_v remove_v to_o the_o great_a satisfaction_n of_o all_o that_o wish_v well_o to_o the_o interest_n of_o england_n reason_n viii_o because_o by_o these_o expedient_n many_o hundred_o of_o well-skilled_a but_o poor_a decay_a clothier_n who_o have_v little_a or_o no_o stock_n of_o their_o own_o may_v promote_v this_o manufactory_a in_o every_o county_n where_o every_o one_o of_o they_o may_v as_o easy_o employ_v 200_o people_n in_o work_n in_o such_o a_o public_a house_n as_o he_o can_v ten_o elsewhere_o reason_n ix_o because_o in_o such_o house_n a_o multitude_n may_v be_v instruct_v in_o art_n and_o skill_n in_o short_a time_n without_o difficulty_n or_o charge_n for_o begin_v upon_o the_o very_a course_v wool_n there_o can_v be_v no_o loss_n but_o rather_o advantage_n because_o as_o the_o course_v cloth_n be_v as_o ready_a money_n as_o the_o fine_a so_o the_o great_a quantity_n be_v make_v the_o great_a will_v be_v the_o consumption_n of_o our_o wool_n but_o if_o it_o be_v doubt_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o double_a increase_n of_o clothe_v there_o will_v be_v want_n of_o market_n for_o our_o cloth_n my_o answer_n in_o short_a be_v that_o if_o all_o the_o wool_n in_o europe_n be_v convert_v in_o england_n there_o will_v no_o more_o cloth_n be_v make_v than_o what_o be_v before_o for_o what_o wool_n be_v not_o convert_v here_o be_v convert_v elsewhere_o therefore_o the_o trade_n for_o our_o drapery_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o ever_o and_o much_o better_a see_v by_o the_o expedient_n and_o method_n propose_v we_o may_v make_v and_o sell_v our_o cloth_n cheap_a than_o our_o supplanter_n that_o we_o may_v under-sell_a they_o be_v plain_a because_o we_o have_v great_a advantage_n than_o any_o of_o they_o we_o have_v fullar_n earth_n they_o have_v none_o our_o wool_n be_v the_o kind_a in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v convert_v without_o mixture_n of_o other_o but_o they_o can_v convert_v they_o without_o some_o mixture_n of_o we_o unless_o upon_o costly_a and_o unequal_a term_n for_o the_o reason_n beforementioned_a therefore_o as_o by_o the_o expedient_n propose_v we_o may_v double_v our_o quantity_n so_o we_o may_v under-sell_a they_o and_o increase_v and_o double_v our_o market_n proportionable_o as_o for_o the_o charge_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o as_o if_o every_o parish_n be_v oblige_v to_o that_o which_o law_n and_o reason_n already_o require_v viz._n to_o provide_v habitation_n and_o employment_n for_o their_o chargeable_a poor_a only_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o in_o these_o house_n far_o great_a number_n will_v be_v employ_v and_o to_o far_o great_a advantage_n when_o under_o such_o government_n as_o will_v teach_v they_o skill_n and_o art_n administer_a council_n encouragement_n and_o correction_n so_o that_o twice_o the_o work_n will_v be_v do_v and_o less_o time_n spend_v idle_o than_o where_o they_o be_v apart_o reason_n x._o because_o without_o these_o expedient_n the_o wealth_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v unavoidable_o be_v invade_v and_o destroy_v at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o those_o that_o be_v our_o supplanter_n because_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a be_v the_o grand_a support_n of_o our_o trade_n of_o merchandise_n for_o it_o be_v affirm_v by_o some_o of_o very_a good_a knowledge_n and_o judgement_n that_o if_o all_o the_o manufacture_n of_o england_n that_o be_v export_v be_v divide_v into_o thirteen_o part_n the_o woollen_a manufacture_n will_v make_v ten_o of_o the_o thirteen_o so_o that_o if_o the_o expedient_n which_o may_v promote_v and_o uphold_v the_o woollen_a manufactory_a be_v reject_v and_o our_o supplanter_n increase_v in_o trade_n as_o of_o late_a year_n they_o very_o much_o have_v do_v then_o of_o necessity_n our_o flourish_a trade_n of_o merchandise_n which_o alone_o increase_v our_o wealth_n and_o treasure_n must_v be_v destroy_v together_o with_o our_o seaman_n and_o navy_n of_o ship_n to_o the_o hazard_n and_o ruin_n of_o the_o nation_n but_o be_v it_o so_o that_o we_o be_v upon_o equal_a term_n with_o the_o dutch_a in_o respect_n of_o industry_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o england_n will_v excel_v all_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n in_o that_o trade_n which_o be_v the_o only_a mother_n and_o nurse_n to_o bring_v forth_o and_o increase_v riches_n seaman_n and_o navy_n of_o ship_n etc._n etc._n as_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o unite_a netherlands_o notwithstanding_o their_o provision_n for_o bread_n beer_n flesh_n clothe_v timber_n iron_n material_n for_o manufacture_n etc._n etc._n together_o with_o their_o vast_a expense_n to_o maintain_v their_o land_n against_o the_o water_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o cost_v they_o as_o it_o be_v adjudge_v at_o least_o ten_o time_n more_o than_o the_o natural_a product_n of_o their_o land_n isworth_n yet_o we_o know_v that_o for_o trade_n fullness_n of_o people_n money_n treasure_n seaman_n and_o ship_n they_o be_v more_o famous_a than_o any_o nation_n in_o europe_n but_o now_o put_v case_n their_o industry_n be_v as_o little_a as_o we_o and_o that_o they_o also_o be_v to_o breed_v up_o and_o maintain_v their_o poor_a for_o beg_v etc._n etc._n as_o we_o do_v in_o england_n may_v we_o not_o then_o infallible_o conclude_v that_o within_o one_o age_n nay_o in_o twenty_o year_n they_o will_v be_v the_o poor_a miserable_a and_o most_o despicable_a people_n in_o all_o the_o world_n wherefore_o we_o have_v all_o sort_n of_o provision_n for_o food_n and_o raiment_n as_o it_o be_v for_o nothing_o several_a hundred_o thousand_o of_o people_n to_o be_v employ_v and_o material_n enough_o of_o our_o own_o likewise_o for_o nothing_o to_o make_v the_o rich_a manufacture_n our_o industry_n be_v it_o but_o proportionable_a to_o that_o of_o the_o dutch_a must_v needs_o increase_v our_o wealth_n three_o time_n more_o and_o fast_o than_o they_o so_o that_o most_o plain_a it_o be_v that_o industry_n not_o money_n be_v the_o life_n of_o that_o trade_n which_o increase_v both_o money_n treasure_n seaman_n and_o ship_n furthermore_o as_o these_o house_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o industry_n so_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o for_o want_v of_o the_o same_o expedient_n in_o every_o 100_o l._n worth_n of_o wool_n export_v unwrought_a there_o be_v 1000_o l._n loss_n to_o the_o nation_n our_o wool_n be_v at_o 6_o d._n or_o 8_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n as_o now_o it_o be_v of_o which_o if_o any_o be_v not_o satisfy_v they_o may_v thus_o demonstrate_v it_o to_o themselves_o a_o yard_n of_o fine_a broadcloth_n of_o 16_o s._n or_o 18_o s._n price_n will_v not_o exceed_v a_o pound_n in_o weight_n and_o the_o like_a for_o fine_a worsted_n stocking_n of_o 6_o s._n price_n will_v not_o weigh_v six_o ounce_n so_o that_o put_v case_n two_o pound_n of_o wool_n shall_v be_v allow_v for_o one_o pound_n yet_o still_o every_o shilling_n in_o wool_n will_v amount_v to_o more_o than_o 10_o s._n in_o cloth_n and_o stocking_n which_o be_v what_o be_v to_o be_v demonstrate_v thus_o all_o this_o which_o may_v so_o have_v be_v get_v by_o workmanship_n etc._n etc._n be_v ten_o time_n the_o value_n of_o the_o wool_n be_v clear_o lose_v to_o the_o nation_n while_o those_o that_o may_v do_v it_o be_v maintain_v for_o beg_v etc._n etc._n reason_n xi_o because_o as_o by_o these_o expedient_n industry_n trade_n treasure_n seaman_n and_o navy_n will_v increase_v so_o
