from_o england_n by_o our_o merchant_n 20000_o beside_o what_o advantage_n we_o have_v by_o a_o export_n of_o thirty_o or_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o manufacture_n 40000_o in_o all_o 560000_o we_o will_v next_o consider_v what_o loss_n come_v to_o the_o nation_n by_o this_o trade_n to_o india_n and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o under_o these_o head_n as_o it_o hinder_v our_o exportation_n and_o as_o it_o prevent_v the_o emylopment_n of_o our_o own_o people_n and_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o improvement_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n and_o the_o consumption_n of_o our_o own_o wool_n as_o to_o our_o exportation_n it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n of_o our_o export_n to_o holland_n and_o our_o west-india_n colony_n that_o we_o have_v enjoy_v to_o the_o one_o for_o more_o than_o one_o hundred_o year_n and_o to_o the_o other_o for_o a_o long_a time_n it_o be_v know_v to_o many_o merchant_n and_o other_o that_o we_o have_v have_v a_o very_a considerable_a trade_n to_o these_o place_n in_o commodity_n make_v of_o wool_n and_o silk_n and_o wool_n for_o woman_n ware_n and_o use_v and_o that_o no_o european_a merchant_n or_o manufacture_n can_v ever_o get_v this_o trade_n from_o we_o these_o be_v natural_a to_o england_n we_o have_v outsell_v and_o under-sold_a all_o our_o neighbour_n but_o since_o the_o improvement_n and_o increase_n of_o the_o importation_n of_o cotten_n and_o silk_n and_o cotten_n and_o herba_fw-la commodity_n from_o india_n which_o increase_v our_o merchant_n almost_o alone_o have_v cause_v we_o have_v whole_o lose_v our_o trade_n to_o these_o place_n for_o our_o manufacture_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o woman_n consumption_n that_o be_v fine_a and_o above_o the_o value_n of_o twelve_o penny_n per_fw-la yard_n our_o west-indies_n that_o use_v former_o and_o still_o may_v be_v clothe_v with_o our_o own_o manufacture_n for_o the_o female_a sex_n will_v now_o touch_v none_o unless_o such_o as_o be_v very_o cheap_a at_o eight_o penny_n ten_o penny_n or_o twelve_o penny_n per_fw-la yard_n and_o to_o that_o degree_n be_v this_o trade_n lose_v that_o of_o all_o those_o several_a species_n of_o fine_a good_n that_o use_v to_o be_v make_v in_o and_o export_v out_o of_o england_n upon_o the_o best_a inquiry_n i_o can_v make_v there_o be_v not_o now_o one_o hundred_o loom_n at_o work_n in_o the_o whole_a

occasion_v by_o a_o accident_n of_o the_o present_a mourn_a whereas_o former_o this_o nation_n use_v to_o abound_v with_o different_a kind_n of_o these_o manufacture_n from_o twelve_o pence_n per_fw-la yard_n to_o five_o or_o six_o shilling_n and_o that_o this_o damage_n may_v be_v the_o sure_a fasten_v upon_o we_o a_o draw-back_a be_v allow_v to_o our_o own_o colony_n that_o they_o may_v be_v clothe_v cheaper_o than_o the_o inhabiant_n of_o england_n with_o india_n manufacture_n and_o that_o our_o own_o commodity_n may_v be_v shut_v out_o though_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o those_o colony_n be_v oblige_v to_o use_v only_o what_o they_o have_v from_o we_o which_o must_v be_v a_o great_a loss_n to_o this_o nation_n both_o in_o the_o material_n and_o workmanship_n which_o both_o to_o holland_n and_o to_o these_o plantation_n can_v amount_v to_o less_o than_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la an._n and_o this_o loss_n must_v come_v by_o the_o india_n trade_n no_o manufacture_n stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o these_o of_o our_o own_o but_o india_n we_o will_v now_o consider_v our_o turkey_n and_o italian_a trade_n and_o though_o i_o acknowledge_v the_o present_a trader_n to_o these_o place_n be_v more_o competent_a judge_n of_o what_o damage_n come_v to_o they_o in_o their_o export_n yet_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n they_o be_v much_o less_o then_o former_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v various_a i_o shall_v only_o hint_n what_o be_v obvious_a from_o the_o east-india-trade_n this_o account_n i_o have_v have_v of_o matter_n of_o fact_n from_o know_a person_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o aleppo_n trade_n that_o before_o our_o cloth_n be_v carry_v direct_o by_o sea_n to_o persia_n great_a number_n of_o caravan_n use_v to_o come_v through_o a_o long_a tract_n of_o land_n many_o hundred_o of_o mile_n with_o silk_n and_o other_o commodity_n to_o aleppo_n and_o buy_v our_o cloth_n of_o our_o factor_n that_o reside_v there_o and_o in_o their_o return_n in_o the_o great_a town_n and_o village_n as_o they_o pass_v use_v to_o sell_v our_o cloth_n to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o those_o country_n in_o very_o large_a quantity_n and_o that_o since_o the_o india_n merchant_n have_v supply_v the_o persian_n these_o caravan_n have_v cease_v to_o come_v and_o though_o we_o may_v have_v keep_v part_n of_o our_o persia_n trade_n we_o have_v lose_v the_o trade_n of_o those_o large_a country_n through_o which_o these_o carrier_n have_v former_o pass_v which_o have_v not_o only_o be_v if_o true_a a_o loss_n to_o our_o export_n of_o cloth_n but_o a_o further_a loss_n to_o this_o nation_n by_o keep_v our_o poor_a unemployed_a in_o the_o silk_n that_o use_v to_o be_v bring_v in_o exchange_n for_o this_o cloth_n and_o here_o i_o think_v it_o convenient_a to_o mention_v how_o profitable_a to_o this_o nation_n our_o turkey_n trader_n have_v be_v who_o use_v not_o only_o to_o export_v our_o product_n but_o this_o product_n employ_v great_a number_n of_o people_n and_o the_o return_v of_o these_o commodity_n be_v material_n unmanufacture_v afford_v a_o employment_n in_o england_n for_o more_o than_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n and_o the_o great_a difference_n between_o these_o and_o the_o india_n merchant_n who_o bring_v his_o return_v full_o manufacture_v as_o to_o our_o italian_a merchant_n it_o be_v apparent_a their_o little_a trade_n for_o their_o return_v have_v hinder_v their_o export_n and_o i_o think_v it_o high_o reasonable_a to_o conclude_v the_o loss_n of_o the_o use_n and_o consumption_n of_o our_o turkey_n and_o italian_a effect_n in_o the_o many_o manufacture_n that_o they_o use_v to_o be_v wrought_v up_o in_o both_o london_n and_o canterbury_n have_v be_v a_o very_a great_a cause_n that_o our_o export_n to_o turkey_n and_o italy_n have_v be_v so_o low_a and_o the_o great_a loss_n that_o have_v come_v to_o the_o nation_n by_o the_o want_n of_o employment_n for_o so_o many_o thousand_o people_n in_o london_n and_o canterbury_n be_v very_o difficult_a to_o compute_v beside_o the_o damage_n that_o this_o nation_n sustain_v by_o so_o many_o of_o its_o artist_n go_v to_o ireland_n new-england_n and_o other_o place_n the_o effect_n we_o do_v not_o yet_o find_v and_o whatever_o loss_n come_v to_o we_o these_o way_n must_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o increase_n of_o india_n manufacture_n that_o in_o such_o a_o degree_n have_v unhinged_a all_o these_o trade_n and_o in_o all_o its_o part_n can_v amount_v to_o less_o than_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la ann._n as_o it_o may_v have_v hinder_v the_o export_n of_o cloth_n and_o serge_n and_o to_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v hinder_v the_o employment_n of_o our_o poor_a in_o work_v up_o the_o return_v of_o those_o commodity_n it_o be_v common_a to_o pay_v more_o for_o the_o work_n of_o silk_n and_o grogram-yearn_a than_o the_o material_a cost_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v what_o loss_n there_o come_v by_o the_o india_n trade_n as_o it_o hinder_v the_o employment_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o the_o employment_n of_o people_n be_v more_o advantageous_a to_o any_o nation_n than_o any_o other_o trade_n and_o experience_n show_v that_o all_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n be_v rich_a or_o poor_a according_a as_o their_o people_n be_v employ_v i_o conceive_v what_o loss_n come_v this_o way_n to_o be_v irreparable_a and_o no_o equivalent_a to_o be_v find_v for_o it_o many_o assert_v this_o india_n trade_n to_o be_v very_o advantageous_a as_o it_o make_v two_o of_o one_o in_o three_o year_n but_o though_o this_o be_v great_a yet_o not_o to_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o profit_n that_o come_v by_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o people_n take_v one_o instance_n our_o fine_a manufacture_n of_o wool_n will_n in_o one_o month_n time_n bring_v ten_o thousand_o pound_n worth_a of_o wool_n by_o labour_n and_o art_n to_o be_v worth_a one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n which_o be_v ten_o of_o one_o in_o a_o month_n and_o so_o go_v on_o throughout_o the_o year_n and_o if_o the_o trade_n to_o india_n hinder_v the_o employment_n of_o our_o people_n to_o any_o degree_n it_o must_v necessary_o be_v so_o far_o a_o great_a loss_n to_o england_n now_o let_v any_o man_n cast_v his_o eye_n about_o the_o english_a nation_n especial_o those_o place_n
