if_o the_o cause_n change_v the_o effect_n will_v follow_v now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o our_o great_a trade_n depend_v upon_o the_o trouble_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o we_o enjoy_v almost_o the_o trade_n of_o christendom_n but_o if_o a_o peace_n happen_z betwixt_o france_n spain_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n all_o these_o will_v share_v what_o we_o now_o possess_v alone_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v provide_v for_o that_o day_n for_o nothing_o stand_v secure_a but_o upon_o his_o own_o foundation_n to_o make_v then_o our_o own_o trade_n secure_a we_o must_v consider_v our_o own_o staple-commodity_n whereof_o wool_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o seek_v the_o way_n to_o both_o to_o keep_v up_o the_o price_n at_o home_n and_o the_o estimation_n of_o all_o commodity_n make_v of_o that_o and_o to_o be_v vent_v abroad_o some_o other_o help_v we_o have_v as_o tin_n lead_v and_o such_o like_a but_o i_o dare_v confident_o affirm_v that_o nothing_o export_v of_o our_o own_o growth_n have_v balance_v our_o riotous_a consumption_n at_o home_n but_o those_o foreign_a commodi_fw-la ie_z which_o i_o call_v naturalize_v that_o be_v that_o surplus_n of_o our_o east-india_n trade_n which_o be_v bring_v home_o in_o great_a quantity_n than_o be_v spend_v within_o the_o kingdom_n be_v export_v again_o and_o become_v in_o value_n and_o use_v as_o natural_a commodity_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o hold_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o maintain_v that_o trade_n by_o a_o regulation_n with_o the_o dutch_a of_o which_o more_o reason_n shall_v be_v give_v when_o that_o particular_a shall_v be_v take_v into_o consideration_n we_o have_v yet_o another_o great_a help_n which_o be_v our_o own_o and_o want_v only_o our_o industry_n to_o gather_v the_o harvest_n which_o be_v our_o fish_n and_o erect_v of_o buss_n both_o for_o the_o enrich_n of_o our_o kingdom_n and_o the_o breed_n of_o mariner_n and_o this_o by_o private_a industry_n though_o to_o private_a loss_n be_v beat_v out_o already_o and_o shall_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n if_o they_o please_v to_o accept_v of_o it_o and_o to_o give_v you_o one_o only_a encouragement_n i_o do_v avow_v that_o before_o the_o dutch_a be_v late_o interrupt_v by_o the_o dunkerk_n by_o their_o industry_n and_o our_o fish_n they_o make_v at_o great_a return_v between_o dansicke_a and_o naples_n as_o the_o value_n of_o all_o our_o cloth_n which_o be_v one_o million_o yearly_a and_o this_o in_o a_o due_a place_n i_o desire_v shall_v have_v his_o due_a weight_n and_o consideration_n we_o have_v one_o help_n more_o if_o we_o know_v how_o to_o use_v it_o that_o be_v by_o the_o new_a drain_a land_n in_o the_o fen_n most_o fit_a for_o flax_n and_o hemp_n to_o make_v all_o sort_n of_o linen_n for_o the_o body_n for_o the_o house_n and_o sail_n for_o ship_n that_o be_v a_o dutch_a and_o french_a trade_n but_o in_o holland_n one_o acre_n of_o ground_n be_v rent_v at_o three_o pound_n which_o if_o the_o hollander_n may_v have_v in_o the_o fen_n for_o 10._o s._n or_o 12._o s._n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o draw_v the_o manufacture_n into_o england_n which_o will_v set_v infinite_a people_n a_o work_n and_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o serve_v other_o nation_n with_o that_o which_o we_o buy_v dear_a from_o they_o and_o then_o the_o state_n and_o kingdom_n will_v be_v happy_a and_o rich_a when_o the_o king_n custom_n shall_v depend_v upon_o commodity_n export_v and_o those_o able_a to_o return_v all_o thing_n which_o we_o want_v and_o then_o our_o money_n must_v stay_v within_o our_o kingdom_n and_o all_o the_o trade_n return_n in_o money_n to_o encourage_v you_o to_o this_o i_o give_v you_o one_o example_n that_o if_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o calico_n make_v of_o cotton_n wool_n in_o the_o mogul_n and_o dan_n dominion_n do_v clothe_v from_o head_n to_o foot_n all_o asia_n a_o part_n of_o europe_n egypt_n much_o of_o africa_n and_o the_o eastern_a island_n as_o far_o as_o sumatra_n which_o make_v that_o prince_n without_o mine_n the_o rich_a prince_n in_o the_o world_n and_o by_o his_o majesty_n grace_n and_o privilege_n grant_v to_o the_o dutch_a i_o be_o confident_a we_o may_v make_v and_o undersell_v in_o all_o linen_n cloth_n in_o all_o the_o nation_n in_o europe_n but_o i_o have_v now_o wander_v far_o from_o my_o theme_n which_o be_v the_o decay_n of_o trade_n and_o of_o woollen_a commodity_n i_o must_v first_o therefore_o present_a to_o your_o consideration_n the_o cause_n thereof_o in_o my_o observation_n whereof_o some_o be_v internal_a and_o some_o external_a the_o internal_a have_v proceed_v from_o she_o own_o false_a make_n a_o stretchning_n and_o such_o like_a practice_n whereby_o indeed_o our_o cloth_n be_v discredit_v i_o speak_v by_o experience_n from_o danzig_n and_o holland_n northward_o to_o constantinople_n as_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o due_a time_n this_o false_a lucre_n of_o our_o own_o and_o the_o interruption_n in_o the_o die_n and_o dress_v project_v and_o not_o overcome_v give_v the_o first_o wound_n though_o can_v it_o have_v be_v compass_v have_v double_v the_o value_n of_o our_o commodity_n this_o have_v cause_v the_o dutch_a silesian_o and_o venetian_n to_o attempt_v the_o make_n of_o cloth_n and_o now_o byy_a experience_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v the_o half_a be_v not_o vent_v that_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a age_n another_o internal_a cause_n have_v rise_v from_o such_o imposition_n as_o have_v make_v our_o cloth_n too_o dear_a abroad_o and_o consequent_o teach_v other_o to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o another_o internal_a cause_n have_v spring_v from_o pressaries_n upon_o tender_a conscience_n that_o many_o of_o our_o clothier_n and_o other_o have_v forsake_v the_o kingdom_n and_o carry_v their_o art_n with_o they_o to_o the_o unexpressable_a det●iment_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n the_o external_a cause_n have_v be_v the_o want_n of_o perfection_n and_o countenance_n to_o our_o merchant_n establish_v abroad_o in_o factory_n by_o the_o state_n and_o by_o the_o treaty_n whereby_o the_o capitulation_n have_v not_o be_v keep_v nor_o assure_v unto_o they_o neither_o in_o prussia_n nor_o in_o the_o ●ound_v nor_o humburgh_n nor_o holland_n nor_o in_o the_o east_n and_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o laban_n never_o change_v jacob_n wage_n so_o often_o as_o the_o hollander_n have_v force_v our_o merchant_n to_o change_v their_o residence_n and_o the_o very_a course_n of_o this_o trade_n by_o law_n and_o trick_n for_o their_o own_o advantage_n of_o which_o the_o merchant_n adventurer_n will_v more_o full_o inform_v you_o another_o external_a cause_n be_v lamentable_a report_n the_o increase_n of_o the_o pirate_n and_o the_o insecurity_n of_o the_o meditirranean_a sea_n whereby_o bristol_n and_o the_o western_a port_n that_o can_v have_v so_o great_a ship_n as_o london_n be_v beat_v out_o of_o trade_n and_o fish_n and_o if_o once_o those_o thief_n shall_v find_v the_o way_n to_o bank_n and_o newfoundland_n they_o will_v undo_v the_o west_n part_n of_o england_n i_o will_v trouble_v you_o with_o a_o consideration_n very_o considerable_a in_o our_o government_n whether_o indeed_o london_n do_v not_o monopolise_v all_o trade_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v no_o good_a state_n of_o a_o body_n to_o have_v a_o fat_a head_n thin_a gut_n and_o lean_a member_n but_o to_o bring_v something_o before_o you_o of_o remedy_n i_o say_v thus_o for_o my_o first_o ground_n that_o if_o our_o cloth_n be_v not_o vent_v as_o in_o former_a year_n let_v we_o embrace_v some_o other_o way_n to_o spend_v and_o vent_v our_o wool_n cloth_n be_v a_o heavy_a and_o hot_a wear_n and_o serve_v but_o one_o cold_a corner_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o we_o embrace_v the_o new_a drapery_n and_o encourage_v the_o walloon_n and_o other_o by_o privilege_n and_o naturalization_n we_o shall_v employ_v all_o the_o wool_n we_o have_v set_v more_o people_n a_o work_n then_o by_o cloth_n and_o a_o pound_n of_o wool_n in_o those_o stuff_n true_a make_v will_v out-sell_a two_o pound_n in_o cloth_n and_o this_o we_o may_v supply_v france_n italy_n spain_n barbary_n and_o some_o part_n of_o asia_n by_o such_o light_n and_o fine_a stuff_n as_o will_v fit_v those_o warm_a region_n and_o yet_o have_v sufficient_a for_o the_o cold_a climate_n to_o be_v spend_v and_o adventure_v in_o true_a make_a cloth_n by_o the_o reputation_n both_o of_o our_o nation_n and_o commodity_n but_o in_o this_o course_n i_o must_v observe_v that_o these_o stranger_n so_o fit_a to_o be_v nourish_v and_o be_v protestant_n may_v have_v privilege_n to_o use_v their_o own_o right_n in_o religion_n so_o as_o they_o be_v not_o scandalous_a as_o the_o dutch_a and_o french_a have_v grant_v unto_o they_o by_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o certain_o the_o settle_n of_o religion_n secure_a in_o england_n the_o fear_n whereof_o
