there_o be_v not_o employment_n for_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a and_o since_o linen_n carry_v away_o so_o much_o of_o our_o money_n it_o seem_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o employ_v idle_a hand_n in_o that_o which_o will_v keep_v money_n in_o the_o kingdom_n now_o though_o both_o these_o assertion_n have_v too_o much_o truth_n in_o

of_o our_o distemper_n we_o shall_v find_v another_o cause_n of_o our_o disease_n it_o be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v less_o woollen_a manufactory_a use_v in_o the_o world_n than_o former_o that_o our_o trade_n decline_v nor_o yet_o because_o we_o make_v more_o than_o former_o for_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o from_o the_o year_n 1673_o to_o the_o year_n 1680_o there_o be_v much_o more_o wool_n wrought_v up_o in_o england_n than_o in_o eleven_o year_n since_o nor_o be_v it_o altogether_o to_o be_v assign_v to_o the_o present_a war_n for_o that_o our_o trade_n decay_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o and_o all_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o late_a king_n the_o reason_n then_o for_o our_o decay_n in_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a seem_v to_o be_v these_o 1._o the_o growth_n of_o course_n woollen_a manufactory_a in_o germany_n with_o which_o the_o venetian_n trade_n to_o turkey_n 2._o the_o prohibition_n of_o our_o woollen_a manufactory_a into_o france_n 3._o the_o increase_n of_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a by_o our_o neighbour_n with_o the_o help_n of_o our_o wool_n so_o that_o in_o some_o thing_n they_o outdo_v we_o in_o the_o price_n they_o can_v sell_v at_o 4._o by_o the_o great_a where_fw-mi of_o east-india_n and_o other_o silk_n and_o the_o use_n of_o calico_n which_o be_v former_o supply_v by_o our_o tammy_n and_o say_v 5._o the_o want_n of_o the_o consumption_n of_o ireland_n which_o abate_v all_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o late_a king_n there_o be_v yet_o a_o cause_n as_o valid_a as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a which_o for_o some_o reason_n i_o forbear_v to_o mention_v now_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v possible_a to_o counterpoise_v all_o these_o and_o to_o retrieve_v our_o manufactory_a and_o that_o by_o two_o way_n first_o by_o prevent_v the_o transport_v of_o wool_n which_o if_o do_v the_o french_a and_o other_o that_o now_o furnish_v market_n abroad_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o supply_v their_o own_o expense_n it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o vain_a assertion_n after_o all_o attempt_n that_o have_v be_v make_v to_o prevent_v the_o exportation_n of_o our_o wool_n to_o say_v there_o be_v yet_o a_o way_n that_o may_v effectual_o do_v it_o yet_o i_o be_o moral_o sure_a it_o may_v be_v do_v both_o in_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o if_o this_o be_v do_v there_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o may_v oblige_v the_o french_a when_o there_o be_v a_o peace_n to_o take_v off_o their_o prohibition_n on_o our_o manufactory_a the_o other_o way_n to_o bring_v our_o woollen_a manufactory_n into_o esteem_n abroad_o be_v to_o make_v they_o so_o cheap_a as_o to_o undersell_v the_o german_a coarse_a manufactory_n and_o that_o may_v be_v do_v with_o ease_n which_o i_o can_v make_v out_o upon_o occasion_n these_o two_o thing_n if_o practicable_a as_o i_o persuade_v myself_o they_o be_v will_v set_v the_o woollen_a manufactory_a on_o so_o good_a a_o foot_n as_o together_o with_o a_o consumption_n not_o yet_o practise_v in_o england_n will_v find_v employment_n for_o the_o mean_a hand_n in_o england_n so_o that_o there_o will_v be_v rather_o want_v than_o superfluity_n of_o hand_n in_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a now_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o all_o i_o have_v say_v it_o seem_v reasonable_a to_o consider_v well_o before_o the_o nation_n give_v up_o its_o staple_n and_o long_o continue_a trade_n for_o a_o shadow_n as_o i_o take_v the_o linen_n manufactory_a to_o be_v for_o although_o i_o believe_v it_o can_v never_o come_v to_o effect_v yet_o so_o far_o it_o may_v go_v as_o to_o injure_v that_o of_o the_o woollen_a by_o divert_v some_o that_o be_v now_o in_o i●_n and_o so_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o spin_v than_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o prejudicial_a for_o as_o i_o mention_v before_o nothing_o can_v retrieve_v our_o lose_a trade_n abroad_o but_o undersel_v our_o competitor_n so_o than_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o make_v we_o as_o cheap_a as_o we_o can_v and_o not_o set_v up_o another_o manufactory_a to_o bid_v who_o give_v most_o for_o
plantation_n and_o may_v be_v make_v more_o beneficial_a than_o they_o all_o but_o if_o ireland_n be_v at_o first_o set_v out_o after_o this_o late_a devastation_n begin_v with_o company_n that_o will_v as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v a_o bar_n to_o the_o people_n that_o kingdom_n with_o foreign_a protestant_n and_o ireland_n can_v never_o be_v safe_a whilst_o the_o irish_a so_o overbalance_n the_o english_a as_o they_o do_v to_o this_o day_n so_o then_o there_o seem_v reason_n to_o preserve_v ireland_n as_o a_o foreign_a plantation_n from_o the_o implacable_a enemy_n of_o england_n the_o irish_a but_o company_n in_o trade_n will_v hinder_v newcomer_n and_o that_o make_v for_o the_o irish_a this_o be_v against_o the_o security_n of_o england_n the_o next_o thing_n ireland_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o be_v how_o it_o stand_v as_o a_o foreign_a plantation_n to_o england_n in_o point_n of_o its_o trade_n and_o consumption_n of_o our_o woollen_a iron_n and_o other_o manufactory_n and_o in_o that_o by_o a_o account_n i_o have_v see_v it_o exceed_v all_o the_o west-india_n plantation_n as_o also_o in_o that_o of_o our_o natural_a product_n corn_n hops_n salt_n etc._n etc._n now_o then_o that_o which_o hinder_v the_o increase_n of_o people_n and_o that_o do_v company_n abate_v the_o consumption_n of_o the_o product_n of_o england_n in_o ireland_n we_o will_v next_o consider_v ireland_n in_o its_o natural_a and_o artificial_a product_n as_o a_o foreign_a plantation_n and_o as_o such_o how_o we_o shall_v use_v it_o i_o have_v before_o mention_v how_o they_o consume_v our_o product_n we_o will_v now_o see_v what_o become_v of_o they_o and_o in_o that_o we_o use_v they_o as_o foreign_a plantation_n prescribe_v they_o rule_n method_n and_o prohibition_n in_o some_o of_o their_o commodity_n as_o their_o wool_n linen_n yarn_n etc._n etc._n we_o oblige_v they_o to_o send_v no_o where_o but_o to_o england_n and_o if_o they_o be_v keep_v to_o it_o in_o their_o wool_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o may_v england_n will_v find_v it_o want_v not_o abound_v in_o wool_n for_o the_o seem_a excess_n of_o wool_n in_o england_n be_v not_o because_o we_o have_v too_o much_o from_o ireland_n but_o because_o we_o have_v not_o all_o for_o one_o pound_n of_o their_o wool_n work_v up_o ten_o of_o foreign_a and_o that_o enable_v they_o in_o their_o manufactory_n abroad_o to_o furnish_v the_o trade_n we_o former_o have_v entire_a to_o ourselves_o but_o to_o return_v as_o we_o prescribe_v rule_n to_o ireland_n what_o they_o shall_v send_v here_o so_o we_o do_v what_o they_o shall_v send_v to_o other_o part_n to_o our_o foreign_a plantation_n they_o may_v not_o send_v any_o manufactory_n but_o have_v liberty_n to_o send_v their_o provision_n servant_n and_o horse_n and_o as_o we_o confine_v what_o how_o and_o where_o they_o may_v export_v so_o we_o do_v in_o many_o thing_n their_o import_v that_o they_o shall_v import_v none_o of_o our_o foreign_a plantation_n commodity_n from_o thence_o direct_a but_o all_o from_o england_n after_o all_o this_o it_o may_v be_v think_v ireland_n be_v so_o entire_o a_o plantation_n of_o england_n that_o it_o may_v deserve_v the_o care_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o people_n that_o kingdom_n but_o the_o noise_n of_o company_n will_v keep_v out_o planter_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v suppress_v if_o any_o shall_v presume_v to_o set_v up_o a_o grant_n that_o may_v keep_v out_o people_n from_o the_o foreign_a plantation_n it_o may_v be_v presume_v the_o government_n will_v lay_v its_o hand_n on_o such_o mistake_a grant_n this_o of_o the_o linen_n manufactory_a be_v such_o it_o will_v keep_v out_o people_n dispose_v to_o that_o manufactory_a for_o such_o love_n to_o have_v choice_n of_o master_n therefore_o we_o never_o see_v company_n set_v up_o in_o our_o foreign_a plantation_n every_o man_n be_v master_n of_o his_o own_o invention_n labour_n and_o design_n so_o it_o seem_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o ireland_n to_o have_v the_o like_a freedom_n there_o for_o if_o company_n be_v once_o admit_v in_o ireland_n it_o be_v not_o the_o subject_n of_o either_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v master_n of_o they_o there_o be_v those_o in_o the_o world_n that_o know_v how_o to_o use_v such_o advantage_n better_o than_o we_o do_v and_o with_o their_o money_n will_v soon_o purchase_v the_o

which_o be_v former_o send_v to_o england_n and_o employ_v as_o aforesaid_a the_o want_n of_o which_o or_o set_v a_o price_n upon_o it_o must_v be_v of_o prejudice_n to_o the_o manufactory_n of_o
