account_n 1._o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o our_o native_a product_n be_v export_v to_o the_o east-indies_n and_o at_o china_n which_o be_v a_o cold_a country_n they_o like_v our_o woollen_a good_n and_o the_o expense_n thereof_o be_v like_o great_o to_o increase_v if_o we_o ourselves_o be_v not_o the_o hindrance_n 2._o it_o keep_v the_o worker_n of_o wool_n to_o their_o own_o employment_n which_o they_o will_v else_o in_o probability_n leave_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o silk-weaving_a trade_n as_o some_o have_v do_v 3._o the_o freedom_n of_o trade_n here_o cause_v people_n to_o flock_n into_o england_n whereby_o the_o expense_n of_o our_o own_o product_n and_o manufacture_n be_v increase_v our_o wool_n need_v not_o fall_v to_o nothing_o as_o the_o answerer_n say_v page_z 17._o to_o keep_v on_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n but_o wool_n may_v bear_v a_o good_a price_n if_o the_o work_a it_o up_o be_v cheap_a as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o as_o every_o one_o agree_v and_o as_o the_o committee_n of_o trade_n in_o their_o answer_n to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o have_v very_o well_o observe_v and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o lose_v our_o woollen_a manufacture_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a that_o will_v not_o be_v the_o way_n to_o have_v wool_n wrought_v up_o cheap_a to_o employ_v the_o hand_n that_o shall_v do_v it_o in_o other_o manufacture_n and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n we_o want_v people_n and_o not_o work_v since_o the_o price_n of_o labour_n and_o servant_n wage_n be_v no_o where_o in_o europe_n so_o dear_a as_o in_o england_n the_o answerer_n by_o what_o he_o say_v pag._n 17._o about_o wool_n lead_v i_o to_o that_o head_n before_o it_o come_v regular_o on_o according_a to_o the_o answerers_n order_n and_o method_n but_o this_o be_v not_o design_v a_o full_a exact_a and_o methodical_a discourse_n for_o the_o reason_n mention_v at_o the_o beginning_n however_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o repeat_v any_o thing_n only_o shall_v further_o add_v that_o when_o those_o who_o be_v of_o opinion_n with_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o land_a gentleman_n that_o wool_n shall_v be_v dear_a the_o answerer_n as_o many_o other_o have_v do_v mistake_v when_o they_o suggest_v that_o we_o do_v not_o think_v it_o most_o for_o the_o advantage_n of_o land_n for_o wool_n to_o be_v dear_a if_o the_o expense_n will_v continue_v as_o great_a and_o the_o price_n keep_v up_o but_o our_o meaning_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o interest_n of_o land_a man_n to_o raise_v their_o wool_n for_o a_o year_n or_o two_o to_o a_o high_a price_n whereby_o the_o expense_n will_v be_v lessen_v because_o the_o consequence_n will_v be_v that_o then_o it_o will_v fall_v much_o low_a than_o before_o and_o therefore_o all_o that_o be_v intend_v by_o not_o desire_v wool_n to_o be_v dear_a be_v that_o it_o be_v best_o to_o be_v keep_v at_o such_o a_o moderate_a price_n as_o may_v not_o discourage_v the_o work_a it_o up_o and_o that_o be_v wrought_v up_o it_o may_v come_v so_o cheap_a to_o foreign_a market_n that_o other_o may_v not_o under-sell_a we_o and_o so_o lessen_v its_o future_a vent_n the_o answerer_n be_v mistake_v in_o his_o assertion_n pa._n 21._o that_o the_o generality_n of_o merchant_n will_v own_v that_o they_o have_v not_o get_v by_o trading_n in_o woollen_a good_n for_o these_o thirty_o year_n past_o 6_o per_fw-la cent._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la the_o insurance_n of_o adventure_n pay_v the_o contrary_a whereof_o many_o merchant_n know_v and_o great_a profit_n may_v be_v make_v thereby_o if_o our_o wool_n be_v manufacture_v cheaper_o and_o the_o way_n to_o have_v that_o do_v be_v not_o to_o draw_v off_o our_o people_n from_o that_o employment_n to_o other_o manufacture_n for_o the_o poor_a if_o two_o day_n work_n will_v maintain_v they_o will_v not_o work_v three_o and_o our_o manufacture_n be_v never_o so_o well_o wrought_v as_o in_o a_o time_n of_o dull_a trade_n when_o we_o pay_v less_o for_o workmanship_n and_o yet_o the_o poor_a live_v as_o well_o then_o as_o in_o time_n of_o great_a plenty_n if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o full_a stroke_n of_o work_n and_o it_o be_v too_o true_a what_o a_o advocate_n for_o the_o weaver_n ingenuous_o confess_v before_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o commons_o that_o in_o time_n of_o

very_o often_o in_o germany_n holland_n portugal_n spain_n italy_n and_o turkey_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o west-indies_n our_o woollen_a good_n be_v scarce_o and_o therefore_o sell_v dear_a and_o much_o more_o will_v vend_n if_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o place_n and_o yet_o more_o considerable_a quantity_n if_o we_o can_v afford_v they_o cheaper_o which_o may_v be_v do_v by_o the_o method_n the_o author_n of_o the_o essay_n propose_v pa._n 27._o and_o whereas_o the_o answerer_n say_v pa._n 21._o that_o the_o manufacture_n of_o wool_n be_v increase_v in_o ireland_n holland_n france_n germany_n spain_n and_o portugal_n and_o our_o manufactured_a good_n become_v a_o drugg_n beyond_o sea_n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o the_o take_v off_o our_o people_n from_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n to_o other_o manufacture_n have_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n the_o occasion_n of_o it_o i_o confess_v i_o wonder_v to_o find_v the_o answerer_n call_v it_o a_o project_n to_o work_v up_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n cheap_a and_o to_o doubt_v whether_o that_o will_v increase_v their_o expense_n abroad_o to_o the_o lessen_v of_o that_o of_o other_o nation_n i_o wish_v there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o uncertain_a project_n set_v on_o foot_n in_o trade_n in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o then_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v our_o trade_n will_v have_v be_v in_o a_o better_a

3_o or_o 400000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la certain_a great_a expense_n then_o at_o present_a it_o be_v at_o and_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o lose_v all_o or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o east-india_n trade_n only_o to_o employ_v people_n at_o home_n in_o a_o silk_n manufacture_n that_o will_v be_v with_o more_o profit_n to_o the_o nation_n employ_v in_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v by_o far_o the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o doubtful_a project_n the_o instance_n which_o the_o answerer_n bring_v pa._n 23._o of_o a_o country_n gentleman_n that_o have_v all_o convenience_n about_o his_o house_n of_o his_o own_o and_o shall_v instead_o of_o use_v they_o for_o himself_o and_o family_n send_v his_o money_n to_o market_n to_o buy_v and_o then_o send_v his_o product_n abroad_o in_o hope_n of_o make_v money_n of_o they_o though_o he_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o market_n or_o buyer_n for_o they_o will_v prove_v just_a the_o contrary_n of_o what_o he_o intend_v it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v right_o apply_v to_o our_o case_n for_o it_o be_v certain_o the_o country_n gentleman_n interest_n so_o to_o do_v if_o he_o can_v buy_v at_o market_n what_o will_v serve_v himself_o and_o family_n for_o half_a the_o money_n for_o which_o he_o can_v sell_v his_o own_o product_n which_o be_v plain_o our_o case_n for_o we_o never_o want_v some_o price_n or_o other_o for_o our_o product_n and_o manufacture_n and_o if_o we_o can_v sell_v they_o dear_a to_o other_o than_o we_o can_v in_o their_o room_n purchase_v other_o necessary_n it_o be_v a_o clear_a profit_n to_o we_o the_o answerer_n do_v again_o pa._n 23_o 24._o as_o he_o often_o do_v beg_v the_o question_n when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o spend_v indian_a good_n at_o home_o that_o we_o may_v save_v our_o woollen_a good_n to_o have_v the_o more_o for_o exportation_n we_o say_v that_o the_o indian_a good_n do_v very_o little_o interfere_v with_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o by_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o indian_a good_n more_o of_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n which_o go_v towards_o the_o purchase_n of_o they_o be_v consume_v then_o will_v be_v at_o home_o in_o their_o stead_n and_o the_o answerer_n himself_o pa._n 25._o acknowledge_v that_o the_o consumption_n of_o our_o english_a cloth_n be_v never_o understand_v to_o be_v much_o prejudice_v by_o these_o good_n and_o then_o again_o he_o take_v up_o the_o mistake_n of_o very_o great_a gain_n make_v by_o the_o east-india_n trade_n
