the_o gentleman_n wool_n merchant_n and_o sergebuyer_n case_n show_v the_o engross_a the_o wool_n of_o ireland_n into_o private_a hand_n project_v by_o some_o particular_a factor_n upon_o commission_n for_o foreigner_n be_v high_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o public_a trade_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v keep_v down_o the_o price_n of_o english_a wool_n and_o lessen_v the_o value_n of_o our_o land_n in_o england_n by_o cause_v the_o rent_n to_o fall_v these_o sergebuyer_n factor_n to_o foreigner_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o their_o great_a and_o large_a commission_n draw_v all_o the_o sergemaker_n about_o the_o country_n to_o court_v they_o for_o a_o market_n and_o sale_n of_o their_o serge_n which_o they_o take_v in_o from_o the_o country_n at_o their_o own_o rate_n and_o price_n common_o without_o any_o certain_a price_n or_o fix_a time_n of_o payment_n and_o thereby_o these_o factor_n have_v general_o in_o their_o hand_n very_o great_a sum_n of_o the_o country_n money_n that_o be_v value_v in_o serges_n for_o which_o they_o neither_o give_v bill_n nor_o bond._n the_o sergemaker_n have_v no_o other_o so_o certain_a and_o ready_a market_n to_o depend_v upon_o be_v miserable_o awe_v and_o subject_v to_o these_o great_a factor_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o dispute_v or_o ask_v for_o money_n in_o four_o five_o six_o or_o eight_o month_n time_n and_o can_v rare_o get_v enough_o to_o support_v the_o poor_a labourer_n the_o comber_n and_o spinner_n with_o daily_a bread_n but_o now_o some_o few_o of_o these_o factor_n be_v not_o content_a and_o satisfy_v with_o this_o great_a and_o profitable_a commission_n trade_n and_o the_o credit_n of_o forty_o or_o fifty_o thousand_o pound_n of_o the_o country_n money_n in_o their_o hand_n at_o a_o time_n without_o give_v bill_n or_o bond_n for_o the_o same_o as_o be_v above_o set_v forth_o but_o they_o proceed_v further_o to_o employ_v and_o settle_v factor_n of_o their_o own_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n particular_o in_o the_o chief_a city_n and_o town_n of_o trade_n as_o in_o dublin_n cork_n waterford_n etc._n etc._n to_o engross_v and_o buy_v up_o all_o the_o wool_n in_o that_o kingdom_n they_o can_v lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o which_o they_o import_v into_o england_n and_o impose_v upon_o the_o sergemaker_n they_o owe_v money_n to_o for_o their_o serge_n 6d_o 8d_n 12d_o per_fw-la stone_n and_o more_o above_o the_o market_n price_n so_o that_o by_o this_o method_n and_o practice_n in_o fact_n they_o buy_v up_o serge_n here_o in_o england_n upon_o credit_n without_o money_n and_o wool_n in_o ireland_n with_o the_o country_n money_n the_o irish_a bill_n of_o exchange_n be_v answer_v and_o pay_v in_o london_n by_o the_o foreign_a bill_n remit_v they_o for_o serges_n thus_o the_o poor_a sergemaker_n be_v shameful_o abuse_v be_v force_v to_o take_v wool_n after_o a_o strange_a manner_n buy_v with_o his_o own_o money_n which_o they_o private_o pack_v up_o and_o send_v about_o the_o country_n to_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o sergemaker_n house_n who_o must_v take_v it_o and_o dare_v not_o refuse_v it_o in_o what_o condition_n soever_o wet_a or_o damnisied_a as_o oftentimes_o it_o happen_v to_o be_v by_o this_o evil_a practice_n they_o break_v and_o forestall_v the_o staple_n market_n and_o to_o further_a and_o force_v this_o unfair_a trade_n they_o seldom_o will_v buy_v serge_n from_o any_o but_o those_o that_o will_v take_v wool_n from_o they_o their_o common_a answer_n be_v your_o serge_n do_v not_o smell_v of_o my_o wool_n so_o that_o the_o sergemaker_n dare_v not_o buy_v a_o lock_n of_o wool_n from_o any_o body_n but_o they_o and_o the_o poor_a sort_n at_o least_o who_o whole_a stock_n lie_v in_o their_o hand_n have_v command_v of_o neither_o money_n nor_o bill_n to_o buy_v as_o former_o from_o the_o gentleman_n and_o farmer_n or_o to_o come_v to_o the_o staple_n port_n and_o open_a fair_a market_n where_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n be_v always_o to_o be_v buy_v at_o current_a price_n and_o it_o must_v be_v observe_v the_o break_v the_o ancient_a staple_n port_n and_o market_n for_o wool_n and_o let_v it_o thus_o fall_v into_o private_a hand_n more_o especial_o into_o man_n hand_n that_o be_v in_o the_o interest_n of_o foreigner_n who_o business_n be_v to_o buy_v up_o serge_n as_o cheap_a as_o they_o can_v his_o commission_n be_v great_a that_o can_v serve_v their_o interest_n best_a and_o buy_v cheap_a this_o with_o humble_a submission_n if_o right_o consider_v must_v appear_v a_o mischief_n of_o the_o high_a consequence_n to_o the_o trade_n of_o this_o kingdom_n and_o perfect_o destructive_a to_o every_o gentleman_n and_o farmer_n be_v sale_n of_o his_o wool_n and_o if_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o present_a low_a and_o dead_a price_n of_o wool_n be_v nice_o inquire_v into_o there_o do_v not_o appear_v a_o great_a than_o these_o sergebuyer_n engross_n private_a selling_n forestall_v force_v and_o break_v the_o open_a fair_a market_n and_o allow_v but_o other_o market_n for_o cattle_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v so_o break_v force_a and_o forestall_v every_o gentleman_n will_v soon_o feel_v the_o consequence_n and_o sure_o no_o particular_a commodity_n ought_v more_o to_o be_v preserve_v than_o the_o noble_a staple_n of_o wool_n this_o kingdom_n so_o just_o value_v herself_o upon_o this_o evil_a be_v grow_v to_o that_o

perfect_o beat_v out_o of_o the_o ancient_a trade_n and_o way_n of_o live_v both_o in_o england_n and_o ireland_n and_o to_o become_v agent_n to_o these_o man_n to_o their_o mortification_n so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a these_o sort_n of_o man_n must_v have_v the_o whole_a market_n for_o irish_a wool_n to_o themselves_o which_o be_v a_o great_a quantity_n and_o of_o a_o vast_a value_n and_o of_o consequence_n the_o price_n both_o of_o wool_n and_o serges_n will_v be_v in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n entire_o in_o their_o power_n if_o not_o prevent_v the_o engross_a the_o wool_n of_o ireland_n upon_o a_o quite_o different_a purpose_n viz._n to_o advance_v and_o keep_v up_o the_o price_n of_o english_a wool_n have_v be_v attempt_v by_o several_a body_n of_o man_n but_o be_v

in_o a_o great_a measure_n effect_v 2._o these_o sergebuyer_n and_o wool-trucker_n get_v so_o very_o considerable_o by_o the_o wool_n they_o dispose_v off_o after_o that_o manner_n they_o can_v serve_v the_o foreigner_n much_o cheap_a than_o any_o other_o factor_n and_o serge-buyer_n that_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o wool_n which_o make_v they_o all_o very_a uneasy_a and_o to_o declare_v public_o that_o they_o must_v likewise_o come_v into_o the_o wool-trucking_a trade_n too_o or_o lay_v down_o their_o commission_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o observe_v that_o these_o man_n in_o prudence_n although_o they_o wish_v hearty_o a_o stop_n may_v be_v put_v to_o this_o practice_n be_v afraid_a to_o appear_v to_o prosecute_v this_o matter_n in_o parliament_n lest_o they_o shall_v by_o these_o wool_n truck_v merchant_n be_v represent_v enemy_n to_o the_o interest_n and_o profit_n of_o those_o foreigner_n they_o have_v employ_v from_o and_o so_o lose_v their_o commission_n and_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o sergemaker_n who_o whole_a stock_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n lie_v under_o a_o great_a fear_n of_o be_v more_o oppress_v if_o they_o shall_v appear_v and_o the_o design_n not_o succeed_v and_o take_v effect_n the_o continuance_n of_o this_o truck_v trade_n will_v force_v the_o sergemaker_n to_o make_v deceitful_a truck_v good_n to_o the_o discredit_v of_o the_o manufactory_a or_o leave_v off_o the_o trade_n and_o the_o gentleman_n and_o farmer_n in_o a_o short_a time_n must_v come_v to_o the_o serge-buyer_n for_o a_o market_n for_o their_o wool_n at_o his_o price_n the_o grievance_n of_o this_o truck_v trade_n in_o other_o case_n have_v already_o be_v censure_v condemn_v and_o provide_v against_o by_o a_o law_n it_o be_v conceive_v that_o matter_n need_v not_o again_o in_o this_o paper_n to_o be_v enlarge_v upon_o but_o only_o to_o observe_v that_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v still_o a_o sort_n of_o man_n
