the_o great_a loss_n and_o damage_n to_o england_n by_o the_o transportation_n of_o wool_n to_o foreign_a part_n there_o be_v no_o king_n nor_o prince_n in_o the_o world_n know_v by_o experience_n

that_o it_o be_v now_o come_v to_o if_o not_o beyond_o a_o question_n who_o have_v the_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o manufacture_n of_o english_a wool_n they_o who_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o it_o or_o they_o to_o who_o of_o right_o it_o do_v belong_v that_o this_o be_v indeed_o so_o will_v appear_v by_o consider_v that_o not_o only_a holland_n flanders_n and_o zealand_n have_v long_o suck_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o sinew_n of_o our_o trade_n but_o france_n be_v likewise_o learn_v to_o be_v too_o hard_a for_o we_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n that_o of_o late_a year_n have_v be_v transport_v from_o england_n and_o ireland_n thither_o how_o injurious_a it_o must_v be_v to_o we_o be_v also_o unquestionable_a if_o we_o consider_v the_o consequence_n thereof_o which_o be_v without_o question_n much_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o ancestor_n as_o appear_v by_o what_o be_v above_o hint_v in_o edward_n the_o 3d_n time_n and_o in_o several_a king_n reign_v since_o every_o pack_n of_o wool_n send_v to_o france_n do_v prevent_v we_o not_o only_o of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o manufacture_n thereof_o but_o of_o two_o pack_n more_o beside_o itself_o viz._n thus_o it_o be_v comb_v and_o comb_v wool_n for_o the_o most_o part_n export_v thither_o the_o french_a have_v no_o wool_n of_o their_o own_o but_o such_o as_o be_v very_a coarse_a be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v cloth_n or_o fine_a stuff_n without_o the_o conjunction_n of_o we_o therewithal_o there_o be_v none_o to_o my_o best_a information_n in_o all_o the_o world_n fit_a for_o that_o purpose_n but_o we_o only_o except_o in_o north_n holland_n and_o that_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o fine_a worsted_n wool_n all_o other_o be_v likewise_o coarse_a but_o spanish_a wool_n and_o that_o much_o too_o fine_a especial_o for_o worsted_n stuff_v and_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a fit_a for_o comb_v so_o that_o without_o english_a or_o irish_a wool_n there_o can_v be_v no_o quantity_n of_o fine_a worsted_n stuff_v nor_o a_o middle_a sort_n of_o cloth_n make_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n neither_o will_v any_o wool_n be_v all_o mix_v together_o but_o english_a and_o spanish_a for_o cloth_n only_o because_o the_o spanish_a be_v with_o the_o english_a of_o one_o nature_n be_v former_o english_a sheep_n though_o now_o much_o fine_a for_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o climate_n
