to_o all_o the_o clothier_n of_o england_n the_o state_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o clothier_n and_o the_o city_n of_o london_n take_v notice_n of_o a_o print_a paper_n in_o form_n of_o

the_o least_o and_o therefore_o the_o city_n can_v not_o imagine_v they_o do_v the_o clothier_n any_o wrong_n by_o let_v his_o cloth_n lie_v in_o a_o public_a market_n ready_a for_o sale_n with_o so_o

common_a council_n which_o enjoin_v the_o lie_v of_o their_o good_n in_o the_o market_n till_o they_o be_v sell_v which_o though_o much_o more_o severe_a yet_o neither_o then_o or_o since_o till_o now_o be_v it_o either_o count_v a_o grievance_n by_o the_o clothier_n or_o never_o complain_v of_o as_o such_o yet_o the_o city_n in_o tenderness_n to_o the_o clothier_n by_o this_o act_n think_v a_o convenient_a time_n of_o 20_o day_n more_o fit_v to_o be_v insert_v that_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n obviate_v the_o abuse_n do_v to_o the_o city_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o be_v a_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n to_o the_o clothier_n on_o the_o other_o 2._o that_o foreign_a buy_v and_o sell_v may_v the_o better_o be_v prevent_v which_o by_o present_a remove_n of_o good_n out_o of_o the_o market_n have_v be_v sell_v to_o foreigner_n and_o alien_n dutch_a french_a german_n and_o other_o nation_n in_o private_a place_n and_o warehouse_n without_o all_o possibility_n of_o discovery_n to_o the_o almost_o ruin_n of_o the_o city_n franchise_n and_o great_a discouragement_n and_o almost_o destruction_n of_o trade_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o own_o english_a merchant_n and_o beside_o such_o private_a and_o clandestine_v sales_n have_v give_v the_o great_a countenance_n to_o the_o make_n of_o such_o bad_a and_o deceitful_a cloth_n to_o the_o general_a disrepute_n of_o our_o manufacture_n in_o foreign_a part_n and_o raise_v the_o credit_n and_o much_o advance_v the_o trade_n of_o forreignmade-cloth_n which_o in_o time_n may_v have_v a_o dangerous_a tendency_n to_o the_o utter_a overthrow_v of_o our_o english_a trade_n and_o put_v of_o it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o alien_n and_o foreigner_n 3._o for_o the_o clothier_n good_a that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o public_a market_n and_o not_o have_v his_o good_n remove_v into_o holes_n and_o corner_n to_o gratify_v the_o private_a design_n of_o his_o subtle_a factor_n oft_o prove_v to_o the_o clothier_n hindrance_n by_o undervalue_v sales_n or_o to_o his_o hazzard_n by_o sales_n to_o irresponsible_a person_n have_v no_o check_n upon_o his_o factor_n as_o he_o have_v in_o the_o public_a market_n by_o the_o register_n that_o the_o act_n order_n to_o be_v keep_v of_o all_o good_n bring_v in_o sell_v and_o to_o who_o these_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o 20_o day_n how_o can_v their_o accomplishment_n if_o the_o time_n be_v strict_o stand_v upon_o which_o be_v not_o be_v any_o grievance_n or_o inconveniency_n to_o the_o clothier_n consider_v 1._o there_o be_v no_o penalty_n annex_v by_o the_o act_n upon_o any_o clothier_n removal_n of_o his_o good_n before_o the_o 20._o day_n be_v expire_v and_o their_o print_a petition_n be_v mistake_v that_o affirm_v there_o be_v 2._o there_o good_n lie_v in_o a_o public_a market_n where_o they_o be_v expose_v to_o sale_n three_o day_n in_o every_o week_n to_o all_o person_n that_o come_v into_o the_o hall_n 3._o they_o have_v security_n for_o their_o good_n all_o that_o time_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v steal_v or_o the_o market_n break_v open_a or_o any_o way_n miscarry_v and_o no_o place_n in_o london_n will_v afford_v the_o same_o 4._o they_o have_v most_o neat_a accommodation_n for_o the_o lay_n up_o of_o their_o good_n better_o can_v be_v in_o any_o private_a house_n or_o warehouse_n whatsoever_o 5._o they_o be_v much_o more_o safe_a from_o all_o hazard_n and_o danger_n of_o fire_n then_o any_o factor_n house_n or_o warehouse_n can_v be_v 6._o they_o pay_v nothing_o for_o all_o this_o for_o three_o week_n time_n the_o city_n intend_v to_o take_v off_o for_o the_o lie_v for_o the_o latter_a 14._o day_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o first_o week_n and_o now_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o ingenious_a clothier_n but_o will_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o market_n or_o fair_a in_o england_n or_o in_o the_o three_o nation_n that_o afford_v they_o so_o much_o of_o conveniency_n and_o safety_n upon_o such_o cheap_a and_o easy_a term_n as_o he_o enjoy_v the_o same_o within_o the_o market_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n if_o the_o clothier_n object_n why_o may_v he_o not_o sell_v his_o good_n in_o any_o place_n of_o london_n if_o he_o shall_v see_v cause_n i_o will_v only_o give_v this_o short_a answer_n that_o such_o a_o permission_n be_v not_o only_o irrational_a in_o itself_o but_o a_o palpable_a invasion_n of_o the_o freeman_n right_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n take_v notice_n of_o that_o equal_a justice_n that_o have_v be_v ever_o use_v in_o the_o city_n market_n aswell_o as_o a_o privilege_n of_o the_o foreigner_n to_o more_o than_o the_o freeman_n have_v a_o right_a to_o or_o can_v claim_v all_o the_o public_a market_n of_o the_o city_n be_v for_o the_o foreigner_n use_v and_o no_o freeman_n as_o such_o ought_v to_o invade_v the_o foreigner_n right_o by_o sell_v there_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o city_n the_o house_n shop_n and_o warehouse_n of_o london_n be_v the_o freemens-market_n now_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n that_o the_o foreigner_n shall_v not_o invade_v this_o right_n so_o that_o by_o keep_v these_o distinct_a they_o can_v be_v hurtful_a each_o to_o other_o but_o to_o admit_v a_o clothier_n to_o sell_v in_o and_o out_o of_o the_o market_n too_o be_v to_o privilege_v he_o beyond_o a_o freeman_n who_o have_v power_n of_o sales_n only_o in_o the_o latter_a and_o thus_o i_o shall_v dismiss_v this_o first_o complaint_n as_o to_o the_o second_o the_o raise_v the_o duty_n of_o hallage_n and_o new_a impose_v a_o duty_n for_o lie_v answ_n i_o think_v the_o falsity_n of_o this_o clamour_n
