A38392	Englands glory by the benefit of wool manufactured therin, from the farmer to the merchant : and the evil consequences of its exportation unmanufactured : briefly hinted, with submission to better judgments.		1669 (1669)	Wing E2968; ESTC R11638	26,030	37

with_o the_o wool_n the_o farmer_n and_o grazier_n advantage_n do_v much_o more_o than_o equal_o depend_v beside_o the_o inevitable_a danger_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o trade_n and_o so_o consequent_o the_o starve_a of_o our_o poor_a without_o some_o extraordinary_a mean_n for_o their_o support_n who_o while_o the_o privilege_n of_o our_o trade_n be_v keep_v inviolate_a with_o other_o nation_n we_o have_v money_n plentiful_o to_o expend_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o farmer_n and_o the_o grazier_n for_o that_o be_v that_o which_o chief_o advance_v the_o grazier_n and_o farmer_n which_o be_v flesh_n and_o corn_n and_o not_o the_o quantity_n of_o wool_n as_o afterward_o will_n more_o full_o appear_v and_o it_o have_v always_o be_v observe_v in_o former_a and_o latter_a time_n hitherto_o that_o when_o the_o clothier_n have_v have_v the_o best_a trade_n at_o london_n the_o farmer_n do_v not_o loose_v his_o share_n in_o the_o advantage_n thereof_o in_o the_o country_n according_a to_o the_o dispose_n of_o providence_n who_o have_v order_v nation_n but_o more_o especial_o the_o people_n of_o every_o nation_n in_o matter_n of_o this_o kind_n to_o depend_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o so_o to_o rise_v or_o fall_v together_o as_o they_o be_v design_v to_o mercy_n or_o to_o judgement_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n these_o thing_n consider_v with_o a_o little_a deliberation_n it_o will_v manifest_o appear_v that_o the_o export_n of_o our_o english_a wool_n will_v not_o only_o prove_v the_o spoil_n of_o our_o merchant_n and_o clothier_n trade_n and_o so_o consequent_o expose_v the_o poor_a to_o desperate_a strait_n for_o subsistence_n but_o in_o short_a time_n must_v of_o necessity_n make_v the_o countryman_n employment_n of_o every_o kind_n to_o come_v to_o little_a and_o so_o make_v they_o uncapable_a of_o pay_v rent_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o while_o we_o have_v but_o a_o little_a trade_n we_o can_v hardly_o live_v one_o by_o another_o what_o may_v be_v expect_v if_o our_o trade_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o which_o be_v now_o more_o in_o danger_n by_o the_o french_a than_o it_o have_v be_v these_o 300._o year_n past_a and_o then_o we_o may_v consider_v what_o the_o price_n of_o wool_n may_v be_v in_o england_n when_o we_o by_o our_o remissness_n shall_v lose_v our_o trade_n by_o the_o skill_n and_o circumvent_a practice_n of_o foreiner_n and_o we_o help_v forward_o for_o a_o suppose_a profit_n for_o there_o be_v not_o more_o art_n and_o skill_n in_o our_o ancestor_n to_o bring_v home_o the_o work_n at_o first_o to_o the_o wool_n and_o prohibit_v the_o exportation_n thereof_o and_o settle_v the_o manufacture_v in_o england_n than_o be_v now_o to_o export_v the_o material_n thereof_o unmanufacture_v the_o necessary_a consequence_n will_v be_v to_o bring_v the_o price_n of_o wool_n as_o it_o be_v 300._o year_n ago_o when_o most_o be_v export_v to_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n as_o appear_v in_o a_o little_a piece_n call_v the_o golden_a fleece_n write_v by_o w._n s._n gent._n in_o the_o year_n 56._o although_o the_o cloth_n make_v in_o flanders_n of_o our_o wool_n at_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n be_v then_o sell_v here_o in_o england_n at_o 10_o s._n per_fw-la yard_n when_o at_o this_o day_n the_o cloth_n make_v in_o england_n of_o wool_n worth_a 12_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n will_v hardly_o yield_v 7_o s._n per_fw-la yard_n which_o be_v above_o 30._o per_fw-la cent._n worse_n to_o the_o english_a trade_n now_o than_o it_o be_v to_o the_o fleming_n former_o and_o though_o for_o the_o present_a the_o price_n of_o wool_n be_v rise_v by_o its_o exportation_n yet_o if_o the_o quantity_n late_o export_v be_v no_o less_o than_o 20._o thousand_o pack_n have_v be_v keep_v in_o england_n the_o quantity_n if_o not_o with_o 10._o thousand_o pack_n more_o will_v in_o time_n have_v be_v export_v in_o the_o particular_a manufacture_n for_o if_o the_o wool_n be_v not_o export_v to_o those_o place_n beyond_o the_o sea_n there_o to_o be_v manufacture_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v our_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o then_o can_v not_o have_v those_o advantage_n as_o before_o hint_v by_o our_o wool_n to_o improve_v the_o french_a wool_n and_o short_a spanish_a wool_n and_o their_o finespun_a linen_n by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v so_o obvious_a that_o in_o time_n to_o come_v the_o wool_n in_o england_n will_v be_v much_o cheap_a because_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a mean_n less_o wool_n will_v be_v use_v in_o england_n and_o beside_o that_o which_o will_v be_v use_v the_o manufacture_n will_v be_v so_o low_a that_o it_o can_v not_o bear_v up_o any_o price_n as_o be_v begin_v already_o in_o france_n and_o will_v sudden_o follow_v in_o england_n for_o it_o be_v general_o report_v that_o wool_n be_v as_o cheap_a in_o france_n at_o this_o day_n as_o it_o be_v in_o some_o part_n where_o it_o be_v use_v in_o england_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o now_o what_o in_o reason_n can_v be_v expect_v as_o the_o effect_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n viz._n the_o first_o when_o the_o great_a quantity_n that_o be_v late_o export_v to_o france_n with_o those_o three_o addition_n before_o hint_v that_o the_o 20._o thousand_o pack_n help_v to_o work_v out_o and_o especial_o most_o make_v worsted_n stuff_v which_o go_v as_o far_o by_o that_o mean_n as_o 40._o thousand_o pack_n of_o wool_n will_v if_o use_v in_o england_n because_o it_o will_v be_v make_v more_o into_o substantial_a clothes_n which_o consume_v more_o wool_n than_o those_o light_n and_o thin_a stuff_v do_v which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o objection_n that_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o any_o commodity_n that_o be_v export_v must_v be_v of_o scarcity_n and_o so_o consequent_o raise_v the_o price_n which_o i_o must_v confess_v if_o it_o be_v a_o consumptive_a commodity_n but_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a in_o this_o for_o as_o our_o experience_n be_v when_o the_o wool_n be_v all_o use_v in_o england_n or_o very_o little_a export_v than_o it_o be_v 18_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n and_o when_o all_o or_o the_o great_a part_n be_v export_v it_o be_v at_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n the_o wise_a man_n say_v what_o be_v have_v be_v and_o what_o have_v be_v may_v be_v again_o and_o so_o no_o new_a thing_n i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o a_o short_a review_n of_o the_o grazier_n and_o farmer_n present_a loss_n in_o the_o great_a commodity_n which_o pay_v his_o rent_n 〈◊〉_d be_v former_o hint_v suppose_v through_o want_n of_o trade_n mutton_n be_v sell_v but_o at_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la quarter_n which_o be_v but_o little_a be_v 2_o s._n per_fw-la sheep_n and_o there_o be_v some_o sheep_n that_o one_o 100_o will_v but_o produce_v a_o pack_n of_o wool_n though_o some_o less_o that_o come_v to_o 10_o l._n which_o be_v the_o worth_n of_o the_o pack_n of_o wool_n and_o so_o proportionable_o as_o to_o beef_n which_o be_v whole_o lose_v to_o the_o grazier_n and_o for_o the_o corn_n as_o i_o suppose_v there_o may_v be_v about_o 50_o l_n worth_a as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v judge_v in_o my_o travel_n to_o one_o hundred_o s●●●p_n throughout_o the_o nation_n which_o for_o want_v of_o a_o trade_n it_o may_v 〈◊〉_d at_o some_o season_n come_v to_o thirty_o or_o forty_o at_o most_o and_o if_o a_o 〈◊〉_d trade_n it_o may_v be_v worth_a sixty_o or_o seventy_o by_o which_o mean_v 〈◊〉_d easy_o be_v demonstrate_v how_o the_o farmer_n come_v to_o be_v impourish_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o tenant_n consist_v in_o the_o advance_v of_o the_o great_a commodity_n that_o pay_v his_o rent_n which_o be_v not_o in_o wool_n but_o in_o corn_n and_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o thousand_o family_n depend_v upon_o the_o clothing_n trade_n which_o as_o before_o hint_v be_v instrumental_a to_o advance_v the_o price_n of_o corn_n that_o wherever_o trade_n be_v there_o people_n be_v most_o populous_a and_o when_o those_o person_n be_v deprive_v of_o their_o trade_n depend_v whole_o upon_o it_o they_o must_v unavoidable_o come_v to_o the_o parish_n which_o be_v in_o many_o place_n begin_v already_o and_o daily_o increase_v and_o fear_v in_o time_n will_v so_o increase_v that_o the_o poor_a will_v be_v expect_v more_o than_o there_o will_v be_v to_o contribute_v to_o they_o and_o as_o there_o be_v in_o many_o country_n parish_n ten_o that_o live_v on_o the_o trade_n for_o one_o that_o can_v live_v of_o himself_o what_o will_v become_v of_o those_o parish_n when_o the_o trade_n be_v go_v so_o that_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o farmer_n loss_n for_o want_v of_o trade_n be_v fourfold_a great_a than_o the_o pack_n of_o wool_n by_o the_o lowness_n of_o the_o price_n of_o corn._n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n for_o those_o

alteration_n of_o the_o climate_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o land_n whereon_o it_o be_v feed_v as_o by_o good_a experience_n appear_v here_o in_o england_n both_o near_a and_o at_o a_o far_a distance_n wherefore_o the_o exportation_n of_o english_a wool_n into_o france_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v great_o prejudicial_a to_o this_o nation_n not_o only_o in_o the_o quantity_n send_v over_o but_o also_o in_o the_o advantage_n which_o be_v thereby_o give_v they_o to_o manufacture_n a_o double_a portion_n of_o their_o own_o wool_n which_o former_o be_v little_a worth_n into_o such_o commodity_n as_o spoil_v we_o of_o the_o a_o vantage_n of_o our_o proper_a trade_n not_o only_o thither_o but_o also_o into_o other_o part_n viz._n in_o these_o three_o respect_n first_o the_o comb_v of_o the_o english_a wool_n make_v woof_n for_o the_o warpes_n of_o the_o french_a wool_n and_o so_o take_v up_o it_o may_v be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o quantity_n above_o specify_v to_o every_o pack_n of_o english_a wool_n without_o which_o they_o can_v only_o with_o their_o wool_n make_v rug_n and_o at_o the_o best_a cloth_n for_o seaman_n and_o the_o like_a 2_o their_o combing_n or_o pinnion_n viz._n the_o short_a wool_n that_o be_v comb_v out_o of_o the_o worsted_n serve_v for_o their_o linen_n warp_v to_o make_v some_o of_o their_o drugget_n because_o their_o linen_n be_v fine_a spin_v and_o colour_v be_v not_o discernible_a to_o all_o person_n to_o be_v that_o we_o call_v linsey_n woolsie_n 3_o the_o fine_a short_a english_a wool_n be_v mix_v with_o the_o low_a of_o spanish_a wool_n call_v short_a wool_n for_o some_o of_o their_o best_a drugget_n that_o be_v woove_v for_o worsted_n chany_n and_o also_o for_o a_o middle_a sort_n of_o broadcloth_n about_o 10_o s._n or_o 12_o s._n per_fw-la yard_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n i_o judge_v that_o short_a spanish_a wool_n be_v so_o scarce_o here_o in_o england_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v these_o thing_n together_o the_o damage_n of_o the_o export_n of_o this_o one_o pack_n from_o england_n to_o france_n at_o about_o 10_o l._n or_o 12_o l._n sterling_n prevent_v the_o manufacture_v of_o two_o pack_n more_o in_o england_n which_o will_v be_v worth_a one_o 100_o l._n england_n loss_n in_o the_o whole_a by_o the_o exportation_n of_o a_o pack_n of_o wool_n be_v little_o less_o than_o 90_o l._n in_o its_o first_o exportation_n moreover_o consider_v the_o custom_n pay_v when_o export_v if_o manufacture_v in_o england_n with_o the_o frait_n and_o custom_n where_o it_o be_v import_v the_o product_n of_o all_o these_o charge_n augment_v the_o 100_o l._n when_o sell_v there_o lay_v out_o in_o another_o commodity_n beyond_o sea_n the_o custom_n whereof_o be_v pay_v there_o with_o frait_n and_o custom_n when_o import_v in_o england_n it_o be_v much_o if_o it_o do_v not_o more_o than_o double_a the_o first_o principal_a now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o exportation_n of_o one_o pack_v of_o english_a wool_n export_v at_o 10_o l._n or_o 12_o l._n be_v near_o 200_o l._n damage_n to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n in_o general_n be_v the_o consequence_n what_o will_v be_v the_o loss_n in_o the_o export_n of_o 10._o or_o 15_o thousand_o pack_n into_o france_n in_o two_o year_n time_n be_v easy_o account_v by_o such_o as_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o affair_n and_o although_o this_o evil_n be_v almost_o incredible_a to_o many_o yet_o it_o be_v too_o manifest_a to_o such_o as_o have_v make_v something_a their_o business_n to_o look_v into_o it_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o these_o further_a inconvenience_n must_v by_o this_o mean_n arise_v upon_o we_o first_o the_o spoil_n of_o our_o trade_n with_o france_n in_o all_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n as_o do_v already_o appear_v by_o the_o impost_n put_v upon_o the_o same_o there_o from_o 20._o to_o 40._o per_fw-la cent._n since_o so_o great_a quantity_n of_o our_o wool_n be_v export_v thither_o whereunto_o woeful_a experience_n may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a witness_n and_o second_o in_o time_n it_o will_v capacitate_v the_o french_a as_o well_o as_o the_o dutch_a if_o not_o much_o better_a to_o under-sell_a our_o english_a

here_o treat_v on_o this_o matter_n thus_o we_o english_a have_v our_o throat_n cut_v with_o our_o own_o weapon_n wonder_v at_o the_o stupidity_n of_o the_o english_a here_o that_o they_o shall_v so_o

mode_n so_o much_o indeed_o have_v we_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o our_o shame_n as_o well_o as_o to_o our_o apparent_a loss_n that_o whereas_o in_o time_n of_o the_o late_a war_n with_o

per_fw-la yard_n so_o likewise_o it_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o many_o of_o those_o drugget_n make_v here_o in_o england_n go_v for_o french_a and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o direct_v to_o french_a
