man_n can_v invent_v to_o get_v money_n by_o betray_v their_o country_n interest_n etc._n etc._n answer_v it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o neighbour_n find_v the_o great_a advantage_n arise_v by_o die_v our_o manufacture_n to_o make_v a_o law_n that_o no_o die_v good_n shall_v be_v import_v into_o their_o dominion_n it_o must_v necessary_o then_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v our_o wisdom_n if_o we_o permit_v our_o neighbour_n to_o have_v all_o the_o profitable_a use_n of_o the_o manufacture_a of_o our_o good_n to_o make_v they_o pay_v a_o duty_n for_o it_o equivolent_a to_o the_o charge_n of_o die_v if_o we_o can_v without_o hinder_v our_o trade_n and_o we_o can_v do_v it_o unless_o they_o countermine_n we_o one_o of_o these_o three_o way_n 1._o they_o must_v bring_v people_n to_o wear_v no_o clothes_n or_o 2._o they_o must_v wear_v some_o other_o sort_n of_o clothes_n or_o 3._o they_o must_v find_v another_o way_n to_o procure_v the_o same_o sort_n of_o good_n as_o cheap_a as_o from_o england_n after_o this_o duty_n be_v impose_v if_o i_o defend_v our_o nation_n and_o carry_v these_o three_o point_n you_o will_v allow_v that_o england_n be_v able_a to_o put_v a_o pole_n tax_n upon_o the_o whole_a world_n 1._o the_o duty_n will_v not_o arise_v to_o above_o one_o shilling_n upon_o a_o suit_n and_o people_n will_v not_o go_v naked_a though_o their_o clothes_n cost_v a_o little_o dear_a 2._o we_o find_v man_n so_o wed_v to_o custom_n that_o you_o have_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o beat_v they_o out_o of_o their_o old_a way_n in_o do_v any_o work_n though_o you_o have_v a_o new_a way_n never_o so_o much_o easy_a be_v sure_a than_o they_o will_v have_v the_o same_o clothes_n they_o use_v to_o wear_v if_o they_o cost_v one_o shilling_n dear_a they_o will_v not_o change_v their_o habit_n for_o twice_o the_o value_n 3._o they_o must_v find_v a_o way_n to_o procure_v these_o same_o sort_n of_o good_n as_o cheap_a elsewhere_o as_o from_o england_n after_o this_o duty_n be_v impose_v answ_n here_o it_o happen_v very_o lucky_o for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o these_o good_n be_v the_o very_o cheap_a that_o be_v make_v in_o all_o part_n of_o england_n and_o yet_o take_v up_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n and_o be_v such_o as_o england_n do_v in_o a_o most_o special_a manner_n exceed_v all_o the_o world_n in_o as_o yorkshire_n cloth_n colchester_n bays_n exeter_n searge_v viz._n long_n and_o short_a ell_n half_a quarter_n ten_o hundred_o yard_n and_o ranter_n norwich_n chain_n etc._n etc._n for_o 1._o by_o long_a experience_n and_o continual_a practice_n we_o have_v get_v such_o a_o slight_a and_o skill_n to_o make_v these_o good_n as_o well_o as_o all_o other_o that_o no_o nation_n can_v out_o do_v we_o 2._o we_o have_v great_a plenty_n of_o wool_n than_o any_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v cheaper_o here_o than_o in_o other_o country_n which_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o man_n adventure_v their_o life_n and_o estate_n to_o transport_v our_o wool_n to_o other_o nation_n than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v encourage_v by_o price_n or_o they_o will_v not_o do_v it_o 3._o when_o they_o give_v such_o encouragement_n to_o bring_v they_o our_o wool_n and_o these_o good_n take_v up_o such_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n our_o neighbour_n will_v never_o set_v about_o make_v these_o good_n that_o be_v so_o cheap_a now_o let_v we_o look_v back_o and_o we_o shall_v find_v first_o that_o these_o be_v the_o cheap_a sort_n of_o good_n second_o that_o we_o have_v the_o great_a slight_n and_o skill_n in_o make_v they_o three_o that_o we_o have_v wool_n cheap_a and_o four_o nothing_o be_v get_v by_o all_o our_o art_n and_o skill_n sure_o then_o our_o neighbour_n can_v find_v a_o way_n to_o buy_v these_o good_n cheap_a than_o from_o we_o after_o this_o duty_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o neither_o can_v any_o other_o country_n out_o do_v we_o but_o to_o go_v through_o with_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o objection_n that_o the_o trade_n be_v just_a at_o a_o balance_n and_o the_o scale_n ready_a to_o turn_v against_o we_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n we_o be_v force_v to_o beat_v down_o our_o poor_a workman_n that_o they_o can_v scarce_o live_v and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v do_v to_o maintain_v our_o trade_n we_o be_v under_o sell_v in_o the_o strait_n etc._n etc._n answ_n the_o trade_n come_v to_o a_o balance_n and_o many_o time_n turn_v against_o we_o but_o our_o own_o manufacture_n be_v in_o both_o scale_n which_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o this_o mean_n the_o duty_n of_o our_o dye_n stuf_n be_v very_o high_a so_o that_o our_o neighbour_n die_v our_o good_n cheap_a than_o we_o do_v therefore_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o other_o country_n and_o die_v and_o then_o send_v
