Cap. 7. these following Iron-Wares are prohibited Rapiers Daggers Knives Hilts Dagger-Blades Horse-Harness Which good Laws put a Damp to the Foreign Workmen and such Encouragement to the English that they have brought all the said Goods to such Perfection that England hath no occasion to Import them and in many of them we now out-doe all Parts of Europe In the second Year of the King in an Act for Granting their Majesties certain Impositions upon all East-India Goods and Manufactures and several other Goods c. they were pleased to lay these following Duties upon Iron-Wares and Iron wrought   s. d.   Iron Potts and Kettles 1 3 each Small Backs for Chimneys 1 2 each Large Ditto 2 4 each Iron slit or hammer'd into Rods 5 0 the 112 lb. Frying-Pans 4 0 the 112 lb. Steel 5 6 the 112 lb. Plates single 4 4 the hundred Ditto double 8 8 the hundred Harness Plates 1 4 each All other sorts of Iron-Ware manufactured 5 0 the 112 lb. Which Duties have occasioned a great Perfection in the making the said Goods in England and the Importation is mightily lessened thereby which giveth a sew selfish People that dealt in the said Goods hopes that it will be a means to take off or lessen the said Duties but it is hoped that these following Considerations will over-balance what hey can offer to the contrary I. Although the Importations be lessened for the said Goods yet they have brought in more Money for these five Years last past than ever they did in that time which may appear by the Custom-House-Books II. That most of the said Goods although made in England are made of Foreign Iron which hath brought in more Customs to the King than the Complainants are willing to pay for the Custom when imported in the Manufactury III. There is several new Works built and several hundred Families imployed in making the said Ware more t han before these Additional Duties were laid IV. It is but reasonable to believe that former Parliaments had prohibited these Goods when they prohibited Goods of the same kind had this Kingdom had Artificers to make them as they then had not Where but the Manufacturers encouraged by having a Re-payment of the Custom of the Iron when Exported in the Manufacture England would be capable to Export many of the said Goods to the great Enriching of this Kingdom
