much_o encouragement_n as_o a_o lottery_n but_o to_o the_o contrary_n shall_v be_v suppress_v and_o i_o know_v a_o great_a minister_n who_o once_o dispute_v on_o that_o with_o warmth_n against_o a_o care_n for_o wool_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o the_o nation_n it_o may_v not_o be_v foreign_a to_o this_o discourse_n to_o give_v the_o head_n of_o the_o dispute_n which_o i_o the_o rather_o do_v that_o so_o it_o may_v show_v the_o need_n there_o be_v for_o the_o great_a council_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o take_v it_o under_o their_o consideration_n the_o discourse_n rise_v on_o a_o proposition_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o he_o for_o stop_v a_o vast_a quantity_n of_o wool_n that_o be_v then_o go_v to_o france_n it_o be_v bring_v he_o in_o write_v and_o demonstrate_v that_o that_o very_a wool_n be_v enough_o to_o work_v up_o all_o the_o coarse_a wool_n of_o france_n for_o seven_o year_n and_o that_o the_o consequence_n will_v be_v the_o loss_n of_o great_a part_n of_o our_o manufactory_n to_o spain_n and_o portugal_n the_o minister_n make_v little_a return_n to_o that_o but_o bring_v his_o discourse_n to_o the_o great_a loss_n it_o be_v to_o man_n of_o estate_n that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o way_n for_o sell_v twice_o the_o wool_n that_o now_o they_o do_v that_o there_o be_v three_o year_n wool_n then_o in_o england_n and_o what_o shall_v man_n do_v upon_o this_o topick_n of_o the_o want_n of_o a_o consumption_n for_o the_o wool_n of_o england_n the_o gentleman_n lay_v down_o these_o position_n first_o that_o the_o war_n be_v one_o reason_n of_o the_o decay_n of_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_n second_o that_o the_o extraordinary_a escape_n of_o wool_n to_o foreign_a part_n put_v they_o upon_o make_v more_o woollen_a manufactory_n than_o ever_o they_o do_v before_o and_o that_o abate_v our_o trade_n abroad_o three_o that_o our_o wool_n go_v to_o foreign_a part_n make_v it_o so_o cheap_a at_o home_n this_o i_o remember_v put_v the_o minister_n into_o a_o ●aughter_n and_o lay_v the_o two_o first_o aside_o he_o desire_v he_o to_o make_v out_o the_o last_o position_n that_o the_o escape_n of_o wool_n to_o foreign_a part_n make_v the_o wool_n fall_v in_o price_n that_o the_o send_v so_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v fall_v the_o price_n of_o that_o which_o be_v leave_v be_v a_o mystery_n he_o can_v not_o understand_v but_o seem_v to_o he_o the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v it_o rise_v but_o the_o gentleman_n undertake_v to_o make_v out_o his_o assertion_n that_o every_o pound_n of_o english_a wool_n work_v up_o three_o pound_n of_o foreign_a wool_n and_o that_o as_o much_o as_o they_o manufacture_v so_o much_o be_v abate_v in_o our_o export_n for_o that_o they_o make_v such_o manufactorye_n with_o our_o wool_n as_o they_o can_v not_o make_v without_o it_o and_o consequent_o by_o that_o mean_n one_o pound_n of_o our_o wool_n with_o they_o make_v four_o time_n as_o much_o clothes_n and_o stuff_n as_o we_o can_v have_v make_v with_o it_o if_o we_o have_v keep_v it_o at_o home_n from_o which_o he_o infer_v that_o if_o one_o four_o of_o the_o wool_n of_o england_n go_v to_o foreign_a part_n there_o will_v be_v as_o much_o manufactorye_n make_v abroad_o for_o foreign_a market_n as_o we_o can_v make_v if_o we_o have_v wrought_v all_o our_o own_o wool_n and_o so_o much_o be_v make_v abroad_o we_o can_v not_o have_v use_n for_o half_a our_o own_o wool_n that_o be_v leave_v this_o he_o affirm_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o lie_v so_o much_o wool_n unwrought_a in_o england_n and_o he_o be_v bring_v for_o proof_n of_o what_o he_o say_v that_o which_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n i_o think_v undeniable_a though_o it_o will_v not_o be_v allow_v so_o by_o the_o minister_n the_o thing_n be_v this_o the_o year_n after_o the_o restauration_n there_o be_v a_o gentleman_n that_o get_v a_o grant_n from_o the_o king_n with_o a_o non_fw-la obstante_fw-la to_o any_o statute_n for_o liberty_n to_o export_v a_o certain_a quantity_n of_o wool_n to_o foreign_a part_n from_o ireland_n upon_o which_o some_o merchant_n in_o london_n buy_v the_o grant_n send_v over_o to_o ireland_n and_o buy_v most_o of_o the_o wool_n and_o send_v it_o to_o foreign_a part_n this_o at_o first_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o wool_n both_o there_o and_o in_o england_n but_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n as_o five_o month_n it_o fall_v fifty_o per_fw-la cent._n and_o though_o not_o one_o four_o of_o what_o former_o come_v from_o ireland_n into_o england_n come_v then_o to_o england_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o vent_n for_o the_o wool_n of_o england_n and_o in_o ireland_n it_o fall_v from_o seven_o shilling_n to_o three_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n their_o stone_n of_o sixteen_o pound_n all_o the_o time_n they_o ship_v it_o for_o foreign_a part_n this_o he_o affirm_v he_o can_v prove_v by_o the_o merchant_n book_n that_o be_v concern_v d_o to_o be_v literal_o true_a and_o that_o the_o year_n after_o the_o ship_n for_o foreign_a part_n be_v over_o that_o wool_n rise_v to_o its_o former_a price_n both_o here_o and_o in_o ireland_n and_o he_o far_o add_v that_o the_o great_a quantity_n which_o by_o stealth_n go_v from_o england_n and_o ireland_n make_v wool_n in_o both_o kingdom_n fall_v in_o price_n according_a to_o the_o quantity_n that_o be_v send_v out_o this_o part_n of_o the_o dispute_n be_v over_o the_o next_o question_n be_v whither_o the_o wool_n of_o ireland_n do_v not_o abate_v the_o price_n of_o the_o wool_n in_o england_n and_o hinder_v sheep_n master_n from_o enlarge_a their_o flock_n and_o consequent_o keep_v down_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n this_o be_v answer_v in_o the_o negative_a to_o all_o the_o three_o that_o it_o do_v not_o abate_v the_o price_n of_o english_a wool_n nor_o hinder_v the_o increase_n of_o sheep_n or_o abate_v the_o rent_n of_o land_n that_o the_o irish_a wool_n come_v into_o england_n help_v the_o work_n up_o of_o some_o wool_n that_o can_v not_o be_v make_v the_o most_o of_o without_o it_o that_o the_o wool_n of_o ireland_n be_v a_o large_a staple_n than_o that_o of_o england_n and_o most_o proper_a for_o bay_n and_o serges_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wool_n of_o ireland_n that_o come_v to_o england_n that_o make_v the_o price_n fall_v but_o it_o be_v that_o which_o go_v to_o foreign_a part_n that_o do_v the_o mischief_n and_o for_o the_o reason_n before_o give_v he_o conclude_v that_o if_o there_o go_v no_o wool_n from_o england_n or_o ireland_n to_o foreign_a part_n all_o the_o wool_n of_o both_o kingdom_n will_v not_o be_v half_a enough_o to_o supply_v the_o manufactory_n that_o england_n will_v have_v market_n for_o abroad_o for_o that_o there_o be_v now_o make_v twice_o as_o much_o manufactory_n with_o the_o help_n of_o our_o wool_n abroad_o as_o be_v make_v in_o england_n so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o effectual_a stop_n upon_o the_o wool_n of_o both_o kingdom_n the_o flock_n of_o both_o may_v be_v treble_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o manufactory_n england_n may_v vent_v this_o in_o few_o word_n be_v the_o best_a account_n i_o ever_o hear_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o improvement_n of_o the_o wool_n of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o be_v such_o demonstration_n of_o the_o mischief_n the_o export_n of_o wool_n do_v to_o the_o nation_n that_o i_o can_v but_o think_v he_o a_o worse_a enemy_n to_o his_o country_n than_o a_o common_a pirate_n for_o that_o he_o rob_v but_o a_o small_a number_n but_o he_o that_o send_v out_o wool_n destroy_v thousand_o weaken_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o nation_n both_o at_o land_n and_o sea_n and_o if_o we_o believe_v the_o lord_n coke_n assertion_n that_o nine_o part_n of_o the_o trade_n of_o england_n come_v from_o the_o sheep_n back_n there_o can_v be_v enough_o do_v to_o secure_v it_o but_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o misfortune_n of_o our_o nation_n neither_o to_o punish_v or_o reward_v impunity_n in_o the_o first_o make_v we_o abound_v in_o criminal_n and_o the_o neglect_n in_o the_o latter_a make_v we_o barren_a of_o great_a action_n for_o our_o country_n i_o mean_v in_o that_o which_o make_v

be_v unhappy_a in_o the_o administration_n yet_o i_o think_v in_o nothing_o so_o much_o as_o in_o the_o neglect_n of_o trade_n and_o in_o that_o of_o ireland_n which_o any_o nation_n but_o we_o will_v

because_o at_o this_o time_n ireland_n differ_v very_o little_a from_o a_o new_a plantation_n and_o to_o plant_v such_o there_o be_v always_o give_v large_a encouragement_n to_o new_a comer_n than_o

that_o if_o we_o have_v more_o than_o our_o own_o navigation_n can_v employ_v yet_o they_o will_v not_o want_v employment_n in_o foreign_a ship_n and_o what_o they_o get_v abroad_o will_v be_v most_o

by_o the_o want_n of_o seaman_n to_o sail_v our_o own_o ship_n now_o there_o be_v a_o three_o inducement_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o number_n of_o seaman_n we_o want_v or_o at_o least_o navigation_n and_o trade_n to_o employ_v they_o and_o in_o this_o we_o have_v different_a reason_n from_o any_o part_n of_o europe_n other_o country_n may_v encourage_v seaman_n for_o their_o

i_o can_v find_v the_o odds_o but_o that_o the_o sail_v with_o few_o man_n be_v a_o argument_n for_o the_o greenland_n trade_n show_v their_o be_v stranger_n to_o that_o trade_n who_o bring_v it_o for_o a_o reason_n because_o the_o greenland_n fish_v oblige_v the_o ship_n to_o carry_v five_o time_n the_o number_n that_o will_v sail_v she_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o their_o shalop_n when_o they_o

that_o fish_n but_o upon_o pay_v double_a alien_n duty_n so_o that_o i_o can_v see_v nothing_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o believe_v we_o have_v lose_v that_o with_o other_o northern_a navigation_n

they_o there_o seem_v for_o these_o reason_n no_o doubt_n ground_n for_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n to_o confine_v this_o trade_n to_o our_o ship_n and_o seaman_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v otherwise_o it_o will_v certain_o have_v fall_v into_o foreign_a hand_n and_o according_a to_o my_o sense_n of_o trade_n it_o be_v better_o for_o the_o nation_n to_o have_v neither_o whale_n nor_o oil_n nor_o whalefin_n than_o to_o have_v they_o by_o purchase_n from_o foreigner_n i_o make_v this_o distinction_n that_o there_o be_v no_o gain_n to_o the_o nation_n by_o what_o be_v consume_v in_o it_o and_o neither_o of_o these_o commodity_n be_v export_v the_o next_o objection_n be_v the_o loss_n of_o the_o norway_n trade_n and_o in_o this_o there_o be_v something_o but_o i_o can_v see_v so_o great_a a_o mischief_n in_o it_o as_o be_v represent_v but_o that_o which_o may_v be_v remedy_v by_o a_o dispensation_n for_o employ_v dutch_a ship_n in_o that_o trade_n so_o they_o be_v sail_v by_o english_a man_n for_o that_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o great_a design_n and_o of_o more_o value_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n for_o that_o in_o most_o of_o our_o trade_n english-built_a ship_n be_v use_v and_o dutch_n not_o proper_a so_o there_o need_v no_o force_n when_o it_o be_v do_v of_o choice_n but_o that_o which_o may_v put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o exception_n in_o the_o act_n of_o navigation_n and_o most_o of_o the_o northern_a trade_n be_v propose_v in_o the_o forego_n essay_n of_o building_n ship_n that_o which_o be_v object_v of_o hinder_v our_o trade_n in_o the_o sound_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o appear_v that_o of_o seven_o ship_n a_o year_n send_v there_o five_o go_v in_o there_o ballast_n that_o we_o have_v lose_v our_o trade_n into_o the_o sound_n be_v plain_a from_o the_o variety_n of_o commodity_n the_o dutch_a carry_v in_o one_o ship_n and_o we_o common_o carry_v the_o product_n of_o england_n which_o be_v one_o of_o our_o mistake_v in_o trade_n that_o for_o fear_n of_o a_o small_a loss_n in_o the_o custom_n we_o lose_v so_o considerable_a a_o trade_n as_o we_o do_v in_o the_o

which_o better_a judgement_n may_v determine_v but_o in_o i_o there_o be_v nothing_o appear_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o act._n the_o second_o objection_n against_o the_o act_n be_v that_o it_o have_v raise_v seaman_n wage_n so_o that_o merchant_n be_v now_o at_o the_o mercy_n of_o seaman_n who_o raise_v their_o wage_n at_o pleasure_n and_o so_o impose_v upon_o trade_n to_o the_o
