a_o answer_n to_o two_o objection_n against_o a_o bill_n depend_v in_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o lord_n for_o restrain_v east-india_n wrought_v silk_n etc._n etc._n obj._n if_o this_o bill_n pass_v it_o will_v not_o give_v present_a relief_n to_o the_o poor_a that_o be_v out_o of_o work_n answ_n it_o will_v give_v present_a relief_n as_o it_o will_v increase_v the_o master-weaver_n credit_n as_o matter_n now_o stand_v those_o merchant_n and_o yarn-maker_n we_o deal_v with_o foresee_v we_o be_v like_a to_o be_v undo_v by_o the_o east_n india_n trade_n refuse_v to_o give_v we_o credit_n and_o many_o of_o they_o tell_v we_o plain_o they_o will_v not_o trust_v we_o unless_o this_o bill_n pass_n the_o mercer_n and_o other_o we_o sell_v our_o good_n to_o tell_v we_o if_o this_o bill_n do_v not_o pass_v into_o a_o law_n they_o must_v leave_v buy_v of_o we_o and_o turn_v their_o stock_n into_o the_o india_n trade_n because_o the_o gentry_n of_o england_n ask_v for_o and_o buy_v little_a but_o east-india_n commodity_n if_o this_o bill_n pass_v the_o retailer_n will_v present_o buy_v of_o we_o and_o not_o india_n good_n lest_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v leave_v upon_o their_o hand_n when_o the_o time_n come_v they_o be_v prohibit_v sell_v they_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v it_o will_v encourage_v the_o master-weaver_n to_o employ_v the_o poor_a who_o offer_v we_o to_o work_n allow_v we_o the_o discount_n of_o bank_n bill_n by_o which_o mean_n we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o have_v money_n to_o pay_v they_o the_o master-weaver_n will_v be_v able_a to_o go_v on_o to_o employ_v the_o poor_a in_o hope_n of_o a_o trade_n these_o encouragement_n if_o this_o bill_n do_v not_o pass_v the_o master-weaver_n will_v be_v deject_v and_o discourage_v and_o under_o sad_a apprehension_n must_v turn_v out_o more_o of_o their_o poor_a and_o employ_v their_o stock_n some_o other_o way_n for_o the_o support_n of_o themselves_o and_o family_n to_o the_o great_a damage_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o further_a calamity_n of_o the_o poor_a obj._n if_o this_o bill_n pass_v we_o shall_v get_v no_o salt-petre_n from_o india_n answ_n we_o can_v go_v to_o the_o great_a mogul_n present_o to_o get_v a_o licence_n from_o he_o to_o give_v we_o liberty_n to_o buy_v salt-petre_n but_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v as_o great_a reason_n that_o we_o may_v have_v salt-petre_n for_o our_o money_n as_o that_o we_o may_v have_v muslin_n calico_n raw_a silk_n floretta_n yarn_n pepper_n fan_n or_o any_o other_o of_o their_o commodity_n the_o great_a mogul_n never_o forbid_v or_o hinder_v the_o french_a from_o have_v salt-petre_n for_o their_o money_n notwithstanding_o the_o french_a king_n decree_n to_o hinder_v the_o sell_v their_o good_n in_o his_o country_n which_o decree_n yet_o stand_v in_o full_a force_n and_o be_v bind_v upon_o the_o subject_n of_o france_n and_o not_o reverse_v or_o dispense_v withal_o or_o be_v it_o the_o manner_n of_o trading_n nation_n to_o refuse_v to_o take_v money_n for_o their_o produce_v unless_o for_o their_o unwrought_a commodity_n for_o manufactury_n will_v not_o all_o the_o other_o manufactory_n and_o commodity_n that_o we_o buy_v for_o ready_a money_n and_o consume_v in_o england_n from_o india_n be_v a_o consideration_n sufficient_a for_o salt_n peter_n which_o to_o they_o be_v of_o little_a value_n but_o why_o may_v not_o our_o merchant_n bring_v these_o silk_n as_o well_o as_o the_o dutch_a or_o any_o other_o shall_v we_o not_o have_v as_o many_o market_n for_o india_n silk_n as_o the_o dutch_a and_o more_o and_o shall_v we_o not_o stand_v upon_o equal_a ground_n with_o they_o for_o salt_n peter_n do_v not_o the_o great_a mogul_n desire_v our_o money_n and_o want_v our_o lead_n as_o much_o as_o we_o his_o salt_n peter_n but_o be_v this_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o nation_n the_o venetian_n prohibit_v our_o cloth_n but_o do_v we_o refuse_v to_o sell_v they_o tyn_n or_o lead_n the_o dutch_a refuse_n to_o buy_v our_o dyed_n woollen_a manufacture_n but_o do_v we_o refuse_v to_o sell_v they_o our_o mix_a or_o white_a woollen_a manufacture_n we_o prohibit_v the_o dutch_a ribond_n and_o button_n but_o do_v they_o refuse_v to_o sell_v we_o their_o linen_n and_o velvet_n but_o any_o thing_n will_v serve_v for_o a_o argument_n to_o hinder_v a_o bill_n that_o design_n only_o the_o regulate_v the_o east-india_n trade_n and_o it_o be_v a_o amazement_n to_o we_o to_o read_v a_o paper_n entitle_v proof_n offer_v upon_o oath_n by_o person_n concern_v against_o the_o bill_n for_o prohibit_v east-india_n silk_n etc._n etc._n such_o as_o follow_v that_o the_o value_n of_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o woollen_a manufacture_n have_v be_v actual_o export_v to_o india_n that_o in_o holland_n there_o be_v many_o more_o loom_n go_v then_o in_o england_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o edict_n in_o france_n as_o be_v pretend_v or_o it_o be_v dispense_v withal_o or_o some_o new_a edict_n have_v be_v since_o emit_v that_o it_o be_v not_o these_o india_n good_n which_o be_v the_o decay_n of_o the_o weave_a trade_n that_o at_o this_o present_a time_n norwich_n begin_v to_o have_v a_o brisk_a trade_n and_o their_o good_n be_v rise_v 10_o per_n cent._n and_o in_o great_a demand_n that_o though_o mercer_n bespeak_v good_n of_o the_o weaver_n the_o weaver_n will_v not_o make_v they_o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o silk-weaver_n that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o not_o the_o woollen_a manufacturer_n that_o the_o weaver_n concern_v in_o this_o affair_n be_v nothing_o so_o numerous_a as_o be_v pretend_v that_o the_o poverty_n and_o misery_n among_o the_o weaver_n be_v very_o much_o misrepresent_v that_o if_o east-india_n silk_n be_v prohibit_v and_o not_o other_o foreign_a silk_n we_o shall_v only_o wear_v the_o latter_a in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o former_a such_o notorious_a fallacy_n uncertain_a consequence_n and_o direct_a falsehood_n as_o these_o be_v those_o that_o assert_v they_o must_v either_o be_v very_o ignorant_a or_o scarce_o fit_a for_o humane_a society_n and_o none_o will_v
