certain_z reasins_z why_o tan_a leather_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v buy_v and_o sell_v again_o in_o this_o kingdom_n of_o england_n not_o wrought_v and_o convert_v into_o make_v ware_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o place_n than_o open_a and_o public_a fair_n and_o market_n by_o the_o law_n appoint_v first_o because_o the_o law_n make_v in_o the_o first_o year_n of_o king_n james_n against_o the_o say_a offence_n be_v still_o in_o force_n and_o be_v make_v no_o doubt_n to_o prevent_v many_o great_a evil_n and_o mischief_n that_o may_v arise_v thereby_o and_o among_o other_o such_o as_o be_v herein_o after_o mention_v 2._o because_o the_o say_a offence_n tend_v great_o to_o the_o deceit_n and_o abuse_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n in_o general_a for_o that_o thereby_o much_o leather_n insufficient_o tan_v have_v be_v and_o may_v be_v put_v into_o and_o vent_v in_o ware_n make_v of_o leather_n whereby_o the_o king_n subject_n have_v be_v be_v and_o may_v be_v great_o deceive_v and_o injure_v 1._o in_o the_o price_n they_o pay_v for_o such_o ware_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a half_n so_o much_o as_o they_o give_v for_o it_o because_o it_o will_v not_o do_v half_a the_o service_n as_o that_o which_o be_v good_a 2._o in_o their_o health_n for_o that_o boot_n and_o shoe_n make_v of_o such_o leather_n can_v but_o take_v in_o wet_a whereby_o many_o have_v and_o may_v get_v cold_a and_o sickness_n to_o their_o great_a grief_n and_o loss_n yea_o and_o to_o the_o peril_n of_o their_o life_n especial_a to_o such_o as_o be_v of_o weak_o constitution_n 3._o the_o often_o leather_n be_v buy_v and_o sell_v before_o it_o be_v make_v into_o ware_n the_o dear_a the_o king_n subject_n must_v pay_v for_o the_o fame_n in_o ware_n second_o this_o offence_n tend_v very_o much_o to_o the_o hurt_n and_o damage_n of_o all_o arrificer_n that_o work_v and_o convert_v tan_a leather_n into_o made_n ware_n 1._o for_o that_o hereby_o leather_n have_v be_v be_v and_o will_v be_v if_o not_o

whereas_o the_o law_n provide_v they_o shall_v buy_v it_o at_o the_o first_o hand_n of_o tanner_n in_o open_a fair_n and_o market_n after_o it_o have_v be_v there_o lawful_o search_v and_o seal_v 2._o by_o mean_n of_o this_o offence_n of_o sell_v tan_v leather_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n artificer_n that_o convert_v leather_n into_o make_v ware_n especial_o shoemaker_n have_v be_v and_o may_v be_v cheat_v by_o those_o they_o employ_v in_o make_v their_o ware_n for_o that_o leather_n be_v sell_v ●n_o private_a place_n journeyman_n shoemaker_n have_v oftentime_o buy_v bad_a and_o

so_o cheat_v both_o their_o master_n and_o his_o customer_n that_o buy_v such_o ware_n thereby_o also_o ruine_v their_o master_n trade_n which_o abuse_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v so_o frequent_o commit_v till_o leather_n be_v sell_v in_o private_a place_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o law_n 3._o by_o mean_n of_o sell_v tan_v leather_n in_o private_a place_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n many_o person_n that_o keep_v no_o open_a shop_n do_v buy_v bad_a and_o offal-leather_n and_o make_v ware_n thereof_o sell_v the_o same_o not_o in_o any_o open_a shop_n fair_a or_o market_n but_o do_v

good_a ware_n in_o open_a shop_n and_o market_n 4._o by_o mean_n of_o this_o offence_n artificer_n that_o convert_v leather_n into_o ware_n especial_o shooemoker_n have_v be_v raise_v much_o in_o the_o price_n for_o make_v of_o their_o ware_n which_o must_v needs_o make_v they_o dear_a to_o the_o buyer_n three_o by_o this_o evil_a practice_n of_o sell_v tan_v leather_n so_o contrary_a to_o

to_o their_o house_n and_o shop_n that_o sell_v the_o same_o again_o be_v also_o never_o search_v and_o seal_v nor_o sell_v in_o the_o market_n as_o the_o law_n require_v 2._o hereby_o artificer_n and_o converter_n of_o good_a leather_n into_o ware_n can_v have_v good_a leather_n of_o that_o sort_n for_o their_o money_n in_o the_o market_n but_o be_v force_v to_o buy_v such_o as_o they_o can_v get_v of_o they_o that_o engross_v it_o at_o the_o second_o or_o three_o hand_n 3._o hereby_o many_o artificer_n be_v keep_v from_o buy_v in_o the_o market_n divers_a tanner_n who_o tan_o good_a leather_n and_o sell_v it_o in_o the_o market_n be_v ofttimes_o force_v to_o lay_v up_o or_o carry_v home_o some_o sort_n of_o good_a leather_n for_o want_n of_o chapman_n to_o buy_v it_o 4._o by_o this_o mean_n several_a person_n that_o buy_v tan_v leather_n to_o sell_v again_o to_o they_o that_o work_n and_o convert_v it_o into_o make_v ware_n do_v ofttimes_o agree_v together_o to_o buy_v that_o leather_n that_o come_v to_o the_o market_n at_o such_o low_a rate_n as_o they_o please_v themselves_o know_v that_o artificer_n that_o shall_v buy_v it_o in_o the_o market_n be_v so_o engage_v to_o they_o that_o they_o can_v or_o dare_v not_o buy_v any_o but_o of_o they_o in_o their_o house_n and_o shop_n and_o that_o the_o tanner_n must_v sell_v it_o they_o at_o such_o low_a rate_n or_o

that_o buy_v it_o of_o they_o again_o objection_n if_o tan_a leather_n may_v not_o be_v sell_v but_o in_o open_a fair_n and_o weekly_a market_n how_o shall_v the_o poor_a sort_n of_o artificer_n that_o work_n and_o convert_v leather_n into_o ware_n be_v supply_v with_o such_o quantity_n as_o they_o need_v and_o be_v able_a to_o pay_v for_o answer_n first_o no_o doubt_n but_o this_o matter_n be_v well_o weigh_v and_o consider_v by_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n that_o make_v the_o law_n against_o the_o say_a offence_n and_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o necessity_n of_o sell_v leather_n otherwise_o than_o in_o open_a fair_n and_o market_n they_o will_v not_o have_v make_v a_o law_n against_o it_o but_o do_v no_o doubt_n upon_o experience_n of_o the_o evil_a consequence_n thereof_o make_v the_o aforesaid_a law_n against_o it_o 2._o since_o the_o make_n of_o the_o say_a law_n and_o before_o this_o evil_a practice_n have_v be_v use_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o artificer_n be_v supply_v in_o open_a fair_n and_o weekly-market_n with_o such_o quantity_n as_o they_o need_v and_o can_v pay_v for_o for_o first_o divers_a tanner_n in_o all_o open_a fair_n and_o market_n cut_v many_o hide_n of_o leather_n into_o several_a piece_n sell_v it_o in_o piece_n there_o each_o piece_n be_v search_v and_o seal_v to_o prevent_v deceit_n as_o the_o law_n require_v and_o so_o some_o do_v still_o and_o other_o will_v if_o such_o artificer_n do_v come_v to_o buy_v it_o in_o the_o market_n 2._o in_o leaden_a hall_n london_n be_v appoint_v two_o market_n weekly_o for_o sell_v of_o tan_a leather_n whereby_o all_o may_v be_v supply_v 3._o it_o be_v altogether_o unreasonable_a that_o the_o conveniency_n of_o a_o few_o shall_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o so_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n in_o general_n 4._o the_o law_n provide_v that_o no_o ware_n make_v of_o tan_a leather_n shall_v be_v expose_v to_o sale_n by_o any_o but_o in_o their_o open_a shop_n fair_n and_o market_n that_o such_o ware_n may_v be_v liable_a to_o be_v search_v whether_o well_o make_v and_o of_o good_a leather_n and_o if_o any_o can_v keep_v a_o open_a shop_n they_o may_v make_v new_a ware_n for_o such_o as_o do_v or_o mend_v old_a work_n as_o many_o do_v 5._o neither_o be_v it_o just_a or_o reasonable_a that_o any_o interloper_n and_o engrosser_n shall_v get_v away_o the_o profit_n and_o livelihood_n of_o the_o tanner_n and_o such_o as_o work_v and_o convert_v tan_a leather_n into_o ware_n nor_o yet_o enhance_v the_o price_n of_o such_o ware_n to_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o king_n subject_n by_o their_o engross_n and_o regrate_v of_o leather_n last_o this_o evil_a practice_n have_v already_o discourage_v and_o much_o hinder_v the_o livelihood_n of_o such_o as_o tan_o leather_n well_o and_o sell_v it_o in_o the_o market_n according_a to_o law_n and_o encourage_v only_o both_o such_o tanner_n and_o
