than_o the_o act_n for_o bury_v in_o woolen_n how_o averse_a be_v the_o people_n of_o england_n to_o it_o at_o first_o as_o if_o the_o dead_a can_v not_o rest_v easy_a in_o their_o grave_n if_o wrap_v

those_o employ_v therein_o can_v turn_v their_o hand_n to_o any_o sort_n of_o work_n 2._o let_v we_o consider_v what_o far_a improvement_n may_v be_v make_v on_o the_o manufacture_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o answer_v the_o end_v of_o indian_a silk_n and_o calico_n and_o the_o mean_n to_o bring_v they_o about_o here_o let_v we_o see_v what_o progress_n have_v already_o be_v make_v step_v after_o step_n by_o our_o manufacture_n to_o imitate_v and_o in_o many_o thing_n to_o exceed_v all_o they_o have_v see_v from_o abroad_o witness_v those_o noble_a rich_a silk_n wherein_o they_o have_v attain_v to_o so_o great_a a_o height_n our_o brave_a noble_a arras_n or_o tapestry_n of_o all_o prize_n not_o to_o be_v outdo_v by_o those_o very_a nation_n from_o who_o we_o at_o first_o learn_v the_o art_n and_o this_o be_v allow_v by_o all_o that_o the_o english_a workman_n in_o great_a thing_n outdo_v their_o pattern_n and_o no_o doubt_n they_o may_v soon_o turn_v their_o hand_n to_o a_o

a_o slight_a thin_a broad_a cloth_n from_o thence_o to_o stuff_n perpet_n say_v rash_n shalloone_n gauze_n and_o late_o to_o antherines_n which_o last_o look_v as_o handsome_a as_o indian_a silk_n and_o serve_v as_o well_o in_o lining_n for_o our_o clothes_n also_o crape_v of_o such_o different_a sort_n both_o of_o silk_n and_o wool_n that_o not_o only_a clothes_n for_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v

and_o i_o can_v see_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v against_o a_o total_a prohibition_n of_o their_o be_v wear_v in_o england_n which_o will_v be_v the_o quick_a way_n to_o have_v they_o disuse_v 3._o the_o three_o be_v to_o inquire_v why_o the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v so_o much_o against_o their_o native_a manufacture_n as_o to_o be_v more_o in_o love_n with_o calico_n and_o indian_a

from_o answer_v the_o end_n of_o calico_n its_o weight_n and_o thickness_n which_o render_v it_o improper_a for_o the_o end_n of_o slight_a silk_n in_o lining_n these_o be_v not_o substantial_a but_o

with_o those_o import_v from_o india_n and_o afford_v they_o as_o cheap_a as_o that_o company_n now_o sell_v they_o enough_o not_o only_o for_o our_o home_n expense_n but_o also_o for_o exportation_n we_o will_v next_o see_v what_o employment_n this_o trade_n give_v to_o ship_n as_o it_o be_v now_o manage_v in_o a_o company_n and_o how_o far_o it_o promote_v navigation_n by_o make_v sailor_n the_o number_n of_o the_o first_o be_v but_o small_a and_o i_o think_v far_o from_o make_v seaman_n long_a voyages_n be_v usual_o their_o bane_n those_o ship_n seldom_o bring_v home_o so_o many_o sailor_n as_o they_o carry_v forth_o whereas_o short_a voyage_n do_v more_o make_v out_o of_o landman_n both_o the_o employer_n and_o the_o employ_v be_v desirous_a to_o make_v their_o first_o trial_n on_o

and_o this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o the_o dutch_a raise_v they_o so_o easy_o most_o of_o their_o employment_n be_v a_o home_n trade_n if_o then_o it_o appear_v this_o trade_n be_v no_o

to_o turn_v it_o into_o a_o monopoly_n by_o law_n a_o thing_n very_o contrary_a to_o the_o genius_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n and_o seem_v to_o bar_v the_o freedom_n and_o liberty_n of_o

in_o barter_n for_o those_o we_o receive_v from_o they_o 2._o that_o we_o may_v keep_v down_o the_o price_n of_o their_o commodity_n whilst_o we_o advance_v our_o own_o 3._o that_o as_o the_o consequence_n of_o these_o two_o we_o may_v encourage_v our_o manufacture_n at_o home_n and_o furnish_v foreign_a commodity_n cheap_a but_o when_o a_o monopoly_n shall_v cause_v quite_o different_a effect_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v on_o any_o term_n as_o for_o the_o first_o the_o east-india_n company_n take_v off_o little_a of_o our_o manufacture_n nor_o do_v i_o think_v the_o trade_n will_v admit_v it_o for_o i_o can_v see_v how_o that_o nation_n can_v be_v supply_v with_o manufacture_n hence_o fit_a for_o their_o wear_v answerable_a in_o price_n to_o their_o own_o except_o they_o be_v a_o luxurious_a people_n who_o care_v not_o what_o they_o give_v to_o please_v their_o fancy_n which_o i_o do_v not_o take_v they_o to_o be_v but_o general_o very_o provident_a for_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o when_o the_o east-india_n company_n have_v bring_v their_o calico_n and_o silk_n hither_o with_o great_a charge_n a_o sell_v they_o at_o a_o extraordinary_a advance_v they_o find_v vent_v by_o their_o cheapness_n how_o can_v we_o believe_v that_o any_o of_o our_o manufacture_n can_v afford_v they_o a_o profit_n in_o india_n where_o they_o must_v be_v sell_v suitable_a in_o
