prejudicial_a in_o the_o high_a nature_n to_o the_o sale_n of_o our_o commodity_n for_o the_o petty_a shopkeeper_n and_o retailer_n will_v not_o come_v so_o far_o to_o buy_v our_o commodity_n it_o be_v too_o chargeable_a costly_a and_o sometime_o dangerous_a travel_v and_o will_v not_o quit_v cost_v to_o travel_v so_o far_o to_o buy_v small_a quantity_n now_o this_o inconvenience_n be_v fall_v upon_o it_o that_o the_o great_a trader_n or_o buyer_n of_o our_o cloth_n which_o the_o dutch_a call_v grossier_n and_o it_o be_v a_o proper_a name_n for_o they_o because_o they_o be_v engrosser_n of_o our_o commodity_n do_v come_v and_o buy_v great_a quantity_n together_o and_o when_o these_o man_n be_v come_v to_o amsterdam_n and_o other_o remote_a place_n than_o they_o furnish_v all_o those_o small_a shopkeeper_n and_o other_o chapman_n with_o our_o commodity_n and_o these_o man_n get_v a_o competent_a gain_n thereby_o which_o if_o trade_n be_v free_a our_o merchant_n may_v gain_v so_o much_o the_o more_o or_o afford_v our_o cloth_n so_o much_o the_o cheap_a unto_o the_o retailer_n and_o by_o cheap_a sell_v we_o shall_v the_o soon_o beat_v the_o dutch_a from_o make_v but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a harm_n in_o it_o then_o this_o for_o the_o chief_a maker_n of_o cloth_n in_o holland_n and_o those_o part_n thereabouts_o be_v those_o great_a buyer_n or_o grossier_n who_o aim_v at_o engross_a our_o cloth_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o they_o get_v good_a gain_n upon_o our_o commodity_n in_o sell_v they_o as_o aforesaid_a to_o small_a tradesman_n but_o second_o and_o principal_o to_o advance_v the_o sale_n of_o their_o own_o home-made_a cloth_n before_o our_o english_a which_o be_v easy_o do_v have_v the_o sale_n of_o both_o in_o their_o own_o

to_o desist_v from_o make_v of_o cloth_n the_o great_a bane_n which_o ever_o the_o commerce_n of_o this_o kingdom_n receive_v be_v that_o the_o hollander_n and_o other_o fall_v to_o the_o make_n of_o

cloth_n will_v sink_v unto_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o prophet_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o one_o thing_n that_o require_v the_o policy_n of_o england_n more_o then_o to_o draw_v

by_o devise_v way_n to_o sell_v our_o manufacture_n at_o cheap_a rate_n and_o disperse_v they_o more_o up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n which_o can_v be_v otherwise_o effect_v then_o by_o a_o free_a
