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

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

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

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

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

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

whofe_n manufacture_n be_v opposite_a to_o india_n or_o let_v he_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o total_a loss_n of_o many_o species_n of_o manufacture_n that_o no_o nation_n in_o europe_n can_v ever_o yet_o hinder_v we_o in_o either_o as_o to_o our_o home-consumption_n or_o foreign_a export_n and_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o direct_a opposition_n there_o be_v between_o their_o stuff_n make_v of_o silk_n and_o silk_n and_o cotten_n or_o only_a cotten_n and_o our_o manufacture_n of_o silk_n and_o silk_n and_o worsted_n and_o woolen_n and_o how_o these_o take_v up_o the_o same_o place_n with_o we_o and_o let_v we_o inquire_v into_o the_o poverty_n the_o want_n of_o work_n the_o cry_v of_o the_o poor_a for_o employment_n and_o bread_n in_o these_o place_n and_o certain_o we_o must_v conclude_v these_o commodity_n hinder_v great_o the_o employment_n of_o our_o people_n and_o the_o poor_a must_v be_v maintain_v with_o or_o without_o work_n and_o no_o man_n can_v at_o the_o request_n of_o his_o neighbour_n or_o friend_n employ_v people_n in_o one_o place_n but_o he_o must_v lessen_v his_o employment_n in_o another_o it_o be_v very_o hard_o to_o conclude_v how_o far_o the_o loss_n by_o india_n commodity_n reach_v under_o this_o head_n we_o will_v join_v it_o with_o the_o next_o which_o be_v how_o this_o trade_n hinder_v the_o improvement_n of_o our_o manufacture_n improvement_n be_v a_o excellency_n which_o englishman_n general_o have_v ascribe_v to_o they_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a perfection_n that_o wool_n i_o mean_v the_o long_a fine_a english_a wool_n be_v bring_v to_o in_o several_a kind_n of_o commodity_n ten_o fifteen_o twenty_o shilling_n lay_v out_o in_o labour_n and_o art_n upon_o one_o pound_n of_o english-wool_n and_o many_o thousand_o piece_n of_o our_o stuff_n that_o weigh_v not_o above_o six_o eight_o or_o ten_o pound_n have_v be_v export_v to_o holland_n and_o scotland_n and_o the_o west-indies_n and_o sell_v for_o six_o eight_o or_o ten_o pound_n per_fw-la piece_n and_o what_o a_o great_a employment_n do_v one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_v worth_n of_o wool_n thus_o wrought_v give_v to_o our_o people_n and_o by_o consequence_n these_o some_o of_o the_o most_o valuable_a manufacture_n england_n have_v but_o since_o the_o importation_n of_o such_o quantity_n of_o india_n commodity_n our_o gentry_n of_o the_o female_a sex_n and_o those_o that_o follow_v they_o at_o home_o and_o abroad_o in_o their_o fashion_n slight_v our_o english_a manufacture_n the_o dealer_n in_o they_o can_v not_o give_v a_o price_n for_o or_o encourage_v the_o make_n of_o they_o the_o manufacturer_n have_v be_v force_v to_o debase_v they_o there_o be_v the_o great_a encouragement_n to_o he_o that_o can_v make_v the_o slight_a good_n so_o that_o whereas_o we_o use_v to_o make_v 100000_o l._n worth_n of_o wool_n by_o labour_n to_o be_v worth_a one_o million_o either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o if_o we_o allow_v this_o wool_n be_v now_o wrought_v up_o it_o be_v in_o such_o slight_a cheap_a commodity_n as_o amount_v not_o to_o more_o than_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n in_o value_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n to_o the_o nation_n so_o it_o be_v a_o true_a reason_n why_o not_o more_o than_o one_o three_o part_n of_o those_o people_n be_v employ_v as_o might_n and_o will_v be_v have_v we_o none_o for_o few_o of_o these_o indian_a manufacture_n now_o i_o be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o this_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o true_a i_o hope_v i_o may_v have_v leave_n to_o make_v a_o modest_a guess_n i_o suppose_v that_o there_o use_v to_o be_v annual_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n worth_n of_o our_o long_a wool_n wrought_v up_o in_o those_o commodity_n now_o either_o lose_v or_o debase_v and_o that_o the_o like_a quantity_n of_o this_o wool_n be_v wrought_v up_o into_o commodity_n which_o make_v but_o four_o of_o one_o then_o upon_o this_o head_n there_o must_v be_v 1200000_o l._n lose_v in_o labour_n and_o art_n per_fw-la ann._n and_o this_o loss_n of_o employment_n must_v come_v from_o india_n manufacture_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o chief_a of_o our_o gentry_n at_o home_n and_o our_o plantation_n abroad_o that_o follow_v our_o fashion_n no_o other_o manufacture_n stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o they_o and_o beside_o the_o loss_n this_o tend_v great_o to_o the_o nation_n be_v dishonour_n the_o last_o thing_n i_o shall_v mention_v be_v to_o show_v how_o this_o trade_n hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o and_o keep_v down_o the_o price_n of_o our_o wool_n as_o to_o the_o consumption_n of_o wool_n if_o as_o before_o it_o hinder_v our_o export_n to_o turkey_n and_o italy_n to_o the_o value_n of_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la ann._n the_o wool_n that_o those_o commodity_n will_v take_v up_o must_v be_v to_o the_o value_n of_o sixteen_o thousand_o l._n and_o if_o we_o shall_v allow_v our_o west-india_n export_n and_o home_n consumption_n to_o be_v but_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n in_o value_n yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o i_o can_v reckon_v all_o the_o wool_n that_o be_v export_v annual_o by_o our_o india_n trader_n to_o amount_v to_o more_o than_o 6_o or_o 7000_o l._n for_o which_o i_o have_v account_v in_o my_o head_n for_o profit_n and_o as_o to_o the_o price_n of_o this_o wool_n the_o india_n trade_n so_o far_o as_o it_o lessen_v the_o consumption_n it_o must_v bring_v down_o the_o price_n these_o thing_n be_v matter_n of_o fact_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o better_a judgement_n to_o consider_v of_o they_o but_o if_o true_a as_o i_o think_v and_o believe_v upon_o the_o best_a inquiry_n and_o observation_n i_o can_v make_v then_o the_o state_n of_o england_n loss_n by_o india_n manufacture_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o our_o own_o stand_v thus_o  _fw-fr pound_n damage_n as_o it_o hinder_v our_o export_n to_o holland_n germany_n portugal_n and_o our_o west-india_n colony_n 200000_o as_o it_o hinder_v our_o export_n to_o turkey_n and_o italy_n 100000_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o work_n up_o of_o turkey_n and_o italian_a effect_n and_o employment_n of_o our_o poor_a in_o they_o 100000_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o employ_v of_o our_o poor_a and_o procure_v the_o debase_v our_o own_o fine_a manufacture_n 1200000_o as_o it_o hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o our_o wool_n and_o as_o it_o tend_v to_o bring_v down_o the_o value_n thereof_o 116000_o total_a 1716000●_n and_o i_o hope_v no_o man_n will_v wonder_v at_o this_o account_n when_o they_o consider_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o damage_n lie_v in_o the_o tendency_n of_o this_o india_n trade_n to_o the_o debase_v of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n and_o so_o hinder_v the_o employment_n of_o our_o people_n in_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o reputation_n wherever_o they_o come_v for_o this_o trade_n will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n upon_o cloth_n shall_v there_o be_v bring_v great_a quantity_n of_o commodity_n from_o india_n or_o any_o other_o place_n in_o opposition_n to_o it_o that_o shall_v have_v the_o same_o esteem_n with_o the_o people_n and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v that_o there_o come_v more_o loss_n to_o england_n than_o profit_n by_o this_o trade_n per_fw-la an._n 1156000_o l._n and_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v plain_a and_o evident_a can_v this_o trade_n as_o manage_v be_v account_v
