A70234 The proposals for promoting the woollen-manufactory, promoted Further making it appear, that the nation will thereby increase in wealth, at least 5000 l. per day, for every day in the year on which it is lawful to labour. And that the strength and safety of the king and kingdom, together with a most happy reformation will be accomplished therein. All which is most plainly demonstrated, by several well-wisheres thereunto, inhabitants and citizens of London. Licensed, April 29. 1679. Ro. L'Estrange.

industry_n be_v erect_v it_o be_v that_o which_o not_o only_o be_v practicable_a but_o de_fw-la facto_fw-la have_v be_v and_o now_o be_v practise_v on_o the_o same_o consideration_n by_o the_o mean_n whereof_o there_o be_v not_o a_o beggar_n in_o the_o country_n where_o it_o be_v use_v and_o by_o which_o that_o overgrow_a and_o innumerable_a multitude_n of_o lewd_a people_n may_v most_o profitable_o be_v restrain_v all_o which_o consider_v we_o can_v see_v no_o reason_n why_o any_o people_n shall_v oppose_v these_o work-house_n unless_o it_o be_v those_o that_o do_v the_o great_a mischief_n to_o the_o person_n estate_n and_o soul_n of_o mankind_n namely_o the_o before_o mention_v idle_a lewd_a nurse_n of_o debauchery_n who_o nothing_o can_v restrain_v so_o effectual_o as_o these_o house_n in_o which_o they_o will_v be_v hold_v in_o durance_n with_o great_a advantage_n therefore_o it_o concern_v they_o and_o their_o abettor_n to_o obstruct_v the_o building_n and_o look_v how_o much_o a_o man_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o the_o one_o so_o much_o he_o be_v the_o great_a friend_n to_o the_o other_o 1._o this_o we_o dare_v assert_v and_o maintatin_n against_o all_o opposer_n that_o shall_v put_v pen_n to_o paper_n against_o it_o that_o if_o such_o a_o gold_n or_o silver_n i_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o england_n as_o may_v afford_v five_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la day_n throughout_o the_o year_n it_o will_v not_o do_v the_o nation_n near_o so_o much_o good_a as_o these_o expedient_n if_o prosecute_v 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n of_o such_o a_o kind_n and_o easy_a to_o be_v accomplish_v that_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o promote_v the_o wealth_n strength_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n since_o in_o it_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n have_v be_v encourage_v 3._o that_o the_o say_a expedient_n be_v feisible_a and_o practicable_a which_o be_v so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v some_o extraordinary_a and_o inordinate_a affection_n that_o must_v force_v any_o man_n to_o oppose_v it_o 4._o that_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o endeavour_v to_o suppress_v and_o destroy_v the_o house_n or_o school_n of_o debauchery_n whilst_o the_o major_a part_n be_v opposer_n and_o enemy_n to_o the_o house_n of_o industry_n which_o may_v afford_v a_o better_a employment_n and_o honest_a life_n to_o the_o inhabitant_n who_o ought_v to_o be_v remove_v from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o certain_o if_o such_o public_a labour_n and_o endeavour_n as_o will_v thus_o promote_v the_o great_a happiness_n of_o a_o nation_n be_v contemn_v and_o discourage_v it_o will_v be_v enough_o to_o dishearten_v all_o noble_a and_o public_a spirit_n and_o render_v they_o object_n for_o the_o scorn_n and_o derision_n of_o the_o base_a of_o men._n wherefore_o to_o prevent_v this_o destructive_a evil_n we_o shall_v with_o all_o hearty_a affection_n and_o zeal_n to_o the_o public_a recommend_v the_o say_v expedient_n to_o all_o good_a people_n in_o the_o nation_n of_o what_o estate_n or_o quality_n soever_o viz._n 1._o to_o the_o poor_a and_o most_o indigent_a because_o thereby_o they_o and_o their_o child_n and_o their_o child_n child_n shall_v never_o want_v a_o honest_a employment_n food_n raiment_n nor_o habitation_n if_o uncharitable_a people_n do_v not_o hinder_v 2._o to_o the_o pious_a and_o religious_a because_o thereby_o a_o happy_a reformation_n in_o the_o life_n and_o conversation_n of_o many_o thousand_o will_v be_v accomplish_v if_o the_o friend_n to_o debauchery_n do_v not_o hinder_v 3._o to_o the_o breeder_n of_o wool_n because_o thereby_o they_o will_v have_v quick_a market_n for_o their_o wool_n as_o fast_o as_o it_o grow_v and_o arise_v if_o the_o neglect_n of_o practical_a expedient_n do_v not_o hinder_v 4._o to_o the_o clothier_n because_o thereby_o all_o the_o wool_n of_o england_n and_o what_o scotland_n and_o ireland_n have_v to_o spare_v will_v be_v secure_v from_o be_v export_v and_o they_o may_v have_v it_o wrought_v upon_o cheap_a term_n than_o before_o as_o fast_o as_o they_o need_v it_o have_v their_o labourer_n partly_o maintain_v by_o a_o public_a stock_n etc._n etc._n 5._o to_o the_o draper_n and_o merchant_n because_o they_o may_v have_v their_o cloth_n and_o afford_v it_o on_o cheap_a term_n than_o those_o that_o have_v supplant_v we_o 6._o to_o the_o farmer_n etc._n etc._n because_o they_o may_v save_v six_o penny_n in_o every_o twelve_o penny_n of_o what_o they_o now_o contribute_v to_o the_o livelihood_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o may_v have_v better_a market_n for_o what_o they_o have_v to_o spare_v since_o so_o many_o thousand_o will_n near_o the_o matter_n earn_v and_o pay_v for_o all_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o wear_v which_o before_o have_v all_o for_o beg_v lie_v and_o dissemble_v 7._o to_o the_o city_n of_o london_n in_o particular_a who_o trade_n and_o treasure_n will_v be_v near_o double_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o double_a quantity_n of_o cloth_n that_o will_v be_v export_v by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o return_v will_v be_v of_o double_a value_n in_o commodity_n or_o treasure_n etc._n etc._n 8._o to_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n who_o revenue_n by_o the_o increase_n of_o custom_n will_v be_v proportionable_o increase_v if_o want_v of_o encouragement_n do_v not_o hinder_v 9_o and_o to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n in_o general_n because_o beside_o the_o increase_n of_o seaman_n and_o navy_n of_o ship_n for_o its_o defence_n strength_n and_o safety_n wealth_n and_o treasure_n will_v increase_v therein_o at_o least_o thirty_o or_o forty_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n every_o year_n more_o than_o it_o do_v if_o those_o that_o be_v regardless_o of_o the_o nation_n weal_n do_v not_o hinder_v with_o a_o base_a intention_n to_o promote_v their_o own_o private_a and_o particular_a lucre._n wherefore_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n we_o will_v conclude_v with_o the_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v just_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v pure_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v lovely_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v of_o good_a report_n if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o praise_n think_v on_o these_o thing_n finis_fw-la
