reason_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o temporal_a on_o behalf_n of_o the_o bill_n to_o restrain_v the_o wear_v of_o east-india_n and_o persia_n

of_o all_o its_o wealth_n navigation_n and_o merchandise_n and_o the_o due_a improvement_n thereof_o especial_o in_o the_o wool_n be_v what_o ought_v to_o be_v principal_o regard_v and_o promote_v and_o the_o pack_n in_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o lord_n bespeak_v no_o less_o that_o england_n have_v never_o recover_v the_o mischief_n former_a great_a importation_n of_o india_n wrought_v

it_o do_v likewise_o great_o increase_v the_o trade_n in_o number_n that_o now_o want_v employment_n both_o at_o london_n and_o other_o part_n that_o english_a wool_n be_v first_o improve_v by_o

raw_a silk_n that_o the_o pass_v this_o bill_n will_v give_v the_o east-india_n trade_n either_o to_o the_o scotch_a or_o dutch_a be_v so_o frivolous_a as_o deserve_v no_o answer_n for_o it_o must_v

he_o take_v great_a care_n for_o their_o preservation_n for_o by_o his_o edict_n 26_o of_o october_n 1686._o he_o not_o only_o prohibit_v the_o wear_v all_o sort_n of_o east-india_n silk_n and_o

have_v another_o opinion_n of_o this_o trade_n and_o people_n than_o the_o east-india_n doctor_n that_o in_o his_o superfine_n spin_v linse-woollse_a discourse_n will_v render_v it_o otherwise_o to_o we_o that_o part_n of_o the_o act_n for_o navigation_n look_v strange_o unreasonable_a if_o this_o bill_n deserve_v not_o to_o pass_v when_o for_o the_o sake_n and_o profit_n only_o of_o throw_v and_o

cherish_v and_o support_v that_o at_o the_o price_n provision_n sell_v in_o england_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o english_a manufacturer_n either_o clothier_n silk_n weaver_n or_o silk_n throwster_n to_o work_v cheaper_o then_o they_o do_v that_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o all_o fabricator_n to_o work_n and_o sell_v as_o cheap_a as_o they_o can_v afford_v and_o trade_n will_v in_o that_o case_n certain_o adjust_a itself_o and_o they_o that_o do_v not_o will_v suffer_v for_o it_o but_o we_o believe_v not_o that_o our_o noble_a ancestor_n place_v the_o wooll-pack_n just_a under_o the_o

raw_a silk_n from_o turkey_n be_v five_o time_n more_o bulky_a than_o wrought_v from_o india_n that_o if_o for_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o east-india_n company_n our_o manufacture_n must_v be_v

the_o value_n of_o land_n and_o all_o its_o production_n and_o rent_n must_v sink_v answerable_o thereto_o that_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o good_a policy_n for_o england_n which_o be_v for_o
