That you would bee pleased to take into your consideration the Customs of our English Cloth and Woollen Manufacturies of all sorts and so lessen the Customs and duties that wee may bee able to undersel and beat out all those that have set up our Manufacture beyond Seas And that you would procure an Act to make Transportation of Wooll and Fuller's Earth Felonie and in consideration of what you abate of Manufacturies of England that you may if you pleas rais upon such superfluous commodities in your Customs and Excise as shall bee Imported from beyond the Seas of Forrain commodities to the value of what you abate of Native commodities and this was the constant practice of the great and wise Lord Treasurer Burlie and his son as I have seen by several Manuscripts 15. I humbly present that all encouragement and little duties bee laid upon Raw Silk of all sorts Imported into this Nation Flax Goat's hair Cotton Wooll Grogran Yarn and that such as will set up Looms or any other Engins may receiv all encouragement and if they bee strangers that they may bee Ordered to take our English poor to teach them their Manufacturies By which means in a small time you will bring a rich Manufacture into the Nation and not onely bee able to furnish your selvs with all such wrought Silks of all sorts as you spend in this Nation but bee able to furnish Neighbor Countries as Germanie Flanders Holland and other Forrain parts which have not yet this Manufacturie If you pleas to caus them to bee transported with little duties the poor will finde a great advantage by it thousands beeing set on work in this Manufacturie and the State get by it for if the Merchant that bring 's here raw or throne Silk doth transport it within a twelvmoneth the State doth repaie them back one half of their Custom and when that Silk is Transported and Manufactured beyond the Seas most commonly those Silks are brought back wrought and the Custom and Excise stoln for it is most easie to steal the Custom of Silks wrought by reason of the little bulk But a Bail of raw Silk can hardly be stoln by reason of the bulk and by this means the State is deceived of their due for if the said Silk were emploied and Manufactured here all the Custom would remain and the Fxcise would bee duly paid and it will bee undertaken to make here as good commodities of all sorts of wearing Silks and better and truer then beyond Seas for there com's much fals black into this Countrie to the great prejudice of those that wear them and those men that have an opinion that nothing of this kinde can bee made good in their own Countrie when they shall see the contratie daily practised they will bee constrained by their own reasons to alter their imaginations when they shall see thousands of Families emploied som as Throwsters Silk-Diers weaving at the Loom by twisting of the said Silk and also the working of all other necessaries that do depend thereupon for of sixteen shillings which the small pound of sixteen ounces cost the first pennie when it is wrought in black Plush or other Silks it will yeeld at the least thirtie four and thirtie five shillings per pound so that full one half of all Silk Manufactured in this Nation doth turn wholly to the benefit of the poor for Manufactures a thing of high concernment to hee speedily put in execution The like or greater improvement may bee made of Flax Goat's hair Cotton Wooll and Grogran Yarn if the undertakers may receiv encouragement to bring som men from beyond Seas to settle these new Arts and Manufactures amongst us and so in a short time wee may prohibit the Importation of all wrought Silks from beyond Seas and make here what wee spend and also get to that perfection to furnish most part of Christendom with Silk Manufactures wee having the Trade that can afford our raw Silk to the Loom as cheap and cheaper then most part of Christendom bringing it immediately by Sea from Persia which is the Fountain of raw Silk 16. That you would bee pleased to make the late King's Hous at Greenwich a Store-hous for som commodities that shall bee Imported and lie there for a Market as Corn Wine Fish Salt Wainscot Clap-boards Fur Timber of all sorts Iron Flax Hemp Pitch Tar Cordage Hops Madder and all other commodities of great bulk and what proportion com's in there more then London or the Nation will spend the Merchants to have free libertie to transport them back to any Forrain part Custom free onely paying the State Ware-hous room and such other moderate fees for Officers that keep accompts as shall bee settled by the State Your keeping this Staple will ever avoid a dearth of Corn for the Citie of London and have all commodities at the best hand 17. If these Merchant Strangers such as abide here with their Families were all Naturalized som men saie they would buie up all our Land and in time supplant the Nation Truly the contrarie hath been seen and known for those that are here Merchant Strangers but especially the Dutch that have all turned into English what wealth they have gotten hath all been bestowed on the English Nation As first Sir Peter Vanlore Sir Thomas Curtel Sir Moses Trian Lucas Lucey Vandeput Fortrees Lamot Francis Sion Jacob Oils De Boise Ganes
