profitable_a manufacture_n by_o which_o the_o trade_n wealth_n and_o safety_n of_o the_o kingdom_n may_v be_v promote_v reason_n iii_o because_o as_o by_o these_o expedient_n there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o beggar_n in_o the_o nation_n so_o shall_v not_o they_o or_o any_o poor_a people_n have_v occasion_n to_o complain_v for_o want_v of_o a_o honest_a employment_n food_n raiment_n or_o habitation_n reason_n iu._n because_o by_o these_o expedient_n a_o hundred_o or_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n may_v be_v sudden_o convert_v to_o their_o own_o and_o the_o nation_n present_a and_o future_a

by_o these_o expedient_n they_o may_v breed_v up_o every_o year_n successive_o 30_o or_o 40000_o ingenious_a cloth-maker_n who_o may_v convert_v wool_n enough_o to_o make_v as_o much_o cloth_n as_o may_v increase_v the_o wealth_n of_o the_o nation_n many_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la reason_n v._n because_o for_o want_v of_o such_o expedient_n whereby_o industry_n and_o the_o woollen_a manufactory_a may_v be_v effectual_o promote_v our_o wool_n be_v fall_v from_o 12_o d._n to_o 6_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o people_n at_o present_a employ_v therein_o be_v not_o able_a to_o convert_v our_o wool_n half_o so_o fast_o as_o it_o grow_v so_o that_o it_o seem_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o prohibit_v the_o exportation_n of_o unwrought_a wool_n whilst_o the_o expedient_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v convert_v at_o home_n be_v reject_v reason_n vi._n because_o that_o as_o our_o clothier_n and_o merchant_n do_v infallible_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o exportation_n of_o unwrought_a wool_n have_v destroy_v our_o foreign_a market_n for_o the_o sale_n of_o our_o cloth_n so_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o have_v not_o such_o quantity_n of_o english_a and_o irish_a wool_n be_v export_v as_o at_o present_a there_o be_v in_o abundance_n it_o will_v have_v fall_v from_o 12_o d._n to_o 3_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n because_o as_o the_o stock_n of_o wool_n increase_v the_o price_n must_v decrease_v so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o raise_v the_o price_n of_o wool_n nor_o yet_o to_o keep_v it_o up_o where_o it_o be_v but_o either_o the_o nation_n will_v be_v bring_v to_o extreme_a poverty_n or_o make_v to_o increase_v mighty_o in_o wealth_n and_o power_n viz._n either_o we_o must_v export_v our_o wool_n as_o daily_o especial_o within_o these_o last_o nine_o month_n we_o do_v to_o those_o that_o destroy_v our_o trade_n thereby_o or_o bring_v all_o idle_a poor_a people_n to_o industry_n to_o convert_v it_o at_o home_o as_o fast_o as_o it_o grow_v by_o which_o mean_v only_o our_o wool_n will_v soon_o mount_v to_o 12_o d._n yea_o 18_o d._n per_fw-la pound_n which_o will_v also_o quick_o remove_v the_o occasion_n for_o the_o exportation_n thereof_o this_o be_v do_v the_o woollen_a manufacture_n of_o france_n flanders_n etc._n etc._n will_v soon_o be_v destroy_v to_o that_o degree_n as_o not_o to_o hinder_v the_o sale_n of_o we_o see_v they_o can_v make_v cloth_n without_o a_o mixture_n of_o our_o wool_n but_o on_o very_o unequal_a term_n as_o our_o clothier_n have_v affirm_v before_o a_o committee_n of_o the_o last_o long_a parliament_n wherefore_o as_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o destroy_v the_o wealth_n and_o trade_n of_o our_o nation_n be_v to_o export_v our_o wool_n and_o maintain_v our_o many_o thousand_o of_o poor_a in_o idleness_n and_o debauchery_n so_o the_o most_o certain_a expedient_a by_o which_o we_o may_v revive_v and_o regain_v the_o woollen_a manufactory_a be_v to_o prosecute_v these_o expedient_n that_o will_v bring_v all_o the_o people_n aforesaid_a to_o industry_n by_o which_o we_o may_v raise_v the_o price_n of_o wool_n at_o home_n and_o afford_v our_o cloth_n and_o drapery_n cheap_a than_o our_o supplanter_n in_o market_n abroad_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o expedient_n propose_v obj._n if_o it_o
