of_o england_n i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o determine_v but_o since_o the_o most_o learned_a casuist_n of_o the_o world_n have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o legislative_a power_n i_o shall_v humble_o submit_v the_o matter_n to_o their_o resolution_n i_o shall_v only_o propose_v one_o thing_n more_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o wise_a man_n of_o england_n viz._n that_o if_o they_o will_v but_o agree_v to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o their_o own_o manufacture_n they_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o obstruct_v the_o people_n of_o ireland_n pursue_v they_o that_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a they_o will_v in_o a_o little_a time_n be_v for_o give_v they_o encouragement_n for_o go_v on_o vigorous_o with_o they_o and_o the_o true_a method_n of_o raise_v the_o english_a manufacture_n to_o that_o pitch_n of_o perfection_n will_v be_v find_v to_o be_v extreme_o easy_a and_o practicable_a viz._n let_v the_o great_a man_n of_o the_o nation_n unanimous_o resolve_v that_o both_o themselves_o and_o their_o family_n will_v in_o their_o apparel_n be_v conten_a with_o the_o fabric_n the_o clothes_n and_o stuff_n of_o their_o own_o country_n and_o that_o they_o will_v discountenance_v other_o that_o shall_v presume_v the_o contrary_a this_o will_v undoubted_o influence_n all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o inferior_a station_n through_o these_o three_o kingdom_n and_o his_o majesty_n foreign_a plantation_n and_o ingenious_a artist_n will_v be_v hereby_o encourage_v to_o improve_v the_o english_a manufacture_n though_o i_o be_o very_a well_o assure_v that_o there_o be_v those_o in_o london_n already_o that_o will_v undertake_v to_o furnish_v the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n of_o these_o kingdom_n with_o silk_n stuff_n clothes_n etc._n etc._n which_o shall_v be_v as_o rich_a beautiful_a and_o serviceable_a as_o any_o nation_n under_o heaven_n need_v to_o wish_v they_o and_o at_o much_o cheap_a rate_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o have_v they_o from_o abroad_o juvenal_n deal_v very_o free_o with_o the_o ancient_a roman_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v passionate_o concern_v that_o they_o be_v the_o great_a people_n upon_o earth_n do_v ape_n the_o grecian_n in_o all_o particular_n in_o their_o habit_n in_o their_o way_n of_o eat_v drink_v discourse_n and_o behaviour_n and_o do_v as_o he_o tell_v we_o do_v most_o other_o thing_n after_o the_o greek_a fashion_n and_o indeed_o these_o nation_n have_v be_v faulty_a to_o that_o degree_n in_o these_o particular_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o french_a that_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o intelligent_a person_n affirm_v that_o in_o the_o two_o last_o reign_n when_o a_o ambassador_n suppose_v from_o germany_n denmark_n or_o sweden_n have_v a_o desire_n to_o make_v a_o agreeable_a figure_n in_o the_o court_n of_o england_n he_o think_v it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v unless_o he_o have_v his_o clothes_n from_o france_n from_o whence_o most_o of_o the_o english_a nobility_n and_o they_o that_o esteem_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o fashionable_a part_n of_o the_o gentry_n have_v they_o nor_o be_v apparel_n the_o only_a thing_n in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v vain_o fond_a of_o imitate_v the_o french_a for_o most_o of_o those_o who_o reckon_v themselves_o the_o only_a genteel_a people_n when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o honest_a english_a gentleman_n table_n and_o find_v it_o furnish_v with_o good_a beef_n mutton_n veal_n etc._n etc._n they_o can_v away_o with_o that_o nasty_a butcher_n meat_n nor_o be_v the_o poultry_n or_o fowl_n think_v fit_a for_o stomach_n of_o quality_n except_o they_o be_v so_o frenchify_v as_o to_o loose_v their_o natural_a taste_n and_o colour_n but_o if_o they_o come_v to_o another_o place_n and_o meet_v with_o a_o dish_n of_o scrap_n which_o perhaps_o be_v detain_v a_o day_n or_o two_o before_o from_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o be_v toss_v up_o after_o the_o french_a mode_n o_o then_o it_o be_v excellent_a savoury_a victual_n little_a master_n and_o miss_n be_v not_o think_v to_o

in_o they_o of_o which_o we_o be_v not_o master_n and_o the_o own_n ourselves_o oblige_v to_o they_o for_o the_o melioration_n and_o true_a use_n of_o our_o clothes_n meat_n conversation_n and_o other_o accommodation_n and_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n though_o it_o may_v not_o be_v think_v easy_a to_o reform_v in_o all_o these_o particular_n at_o one_o time_n yet_o methinks_v it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a it_o shall_v be_v attempt_v in_o relation_n to_o our_o clothes_n since_o that_o will_v be_v vast_o advantageous_a to_o england_n in_o keep_v those_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n at_o home_n which_o before_o the_o war_n be_v send_v yearly_a to_o france_n for_o silk_n stuff_n etc._n etc._n it_o will_v also_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o employ_v many_o thousand_o of_o hand_n which_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o great_a importation_n of_o foreign_a commodity_n of_o that_o kind_n do_v want_n work_n and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o instead_o of_o prohibit_v the_o people_n of_o ireland_n from_o send_v their_o manufacture_n out_o of_o their_o own_o country_n their_o assistance_n will_v be_v require_v in_o furnish_v the_o western_a plantation_n with_o those_o coarse_a woollen_a commodity_n which_o they_o be_v now_o by_o law_n debar_v of_o send_v to_o any_o of_o they_o for_o since_o our_o king_n have_v be_v the_o glorious_a instrument_n of_o retrieve_v the_o

merit_n foreign_a nation_n will_v be_v fond_a of_o imitate_v the_o english_a gallantry_n and_o think_v london_n as_o competent_a a_o city_n for_o the_o education_n of_o their_o young_a nobility_n and_o gentry_n in_o art_n and_o arm_n in_o behaviour_n and_o manner_n as_o paris_n have_v be_v this_o last_o age_n esteem_v by_o we_o and_o consequent_o though_o perhaps_o france_n may_v think_v it_o below_o they_o to_o imitate_v our_o fashion_n or_o buy_v our_o silk_n stuff_n or_o clothes_n etc._n etc._n from_o we_o yet_o we_o shall_v at_o least_o be_v their_o competitor_n and_o other_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n will_v follow_v the_o mode_n and_o buy_v the_o manufacture_n of_o england_n but_o if_o the_o english_a nation_n will_v think_v nothing_o become_v but_o what_o they_o have_v from_o france_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v neglect_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v despise_v by_o ourselves_o this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o consideration_n much_o more_o worthy_a the_o thought_n of_o the_o great_a man_n of_o england_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v stoop_v at_o a_o game_n so_o mean_a as_o the_o poor_a inconsiderable_a manufacture_n of_o ireland_n which_o according_a to_o the_o best_a information_n i_o can_v have_v in_o this_o kingdom_n do_v not_o amount_v to_o the_o two_o hundred_o part_n of_o those_o of_o england_n and_o which_o beside_o their_o be_v already_o prohibit_v from_o be_v transport_v to_o the_o western_a plantation_n be_v so_o indifferent_a that_o they_o will_v not_o sell_v in_o any_o foreign_a market_n where_o english_a commodity_n can_v be_v have_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o main_a support_n of_o a_o people_n who_o i_o may_v safe_o say_v be_v as_o faithful_a and_o loyal_a to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n while_o fix_v on_o a_o protestant_a head_n as_o man_n can_v be_v and_o who_o interest_n i_o hope_v the_o wisdom_n of_o england_n will_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o covetousness_n of_o
