reasonable_a price_n or_o price_n upon_o wool_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v indifferent_a and_o convenient_a betwixt_o buyer_n and_o seller_n landlord_n and_o tenant_n and_o continue_v a_o absolute_a prohibition_n as_o now_o it_o be_v for_o three_o year_n i_o dare_v say_v less_o wool_n will_v be_v export_v then_o than_o have_v be_v for_o many_o year_n before_o notwithstanding_o the_o late_a prohibition_n and_o that_o the_o high_a the_o price_n be_v put_v on_o it_o the_o high_a it_o will_v advance_v the_o price_n of_o corn_n both_o which_o be_v now_o so_o low_o and_o have_v be_v for_o some_o time_n that_o all_o be_v sensible_a farmer_n be_v not_o able_a long_o to_o hold_v it_o at_o those_o rate_n much_o less_o pay_v tax_n ii_o or_o that_o the_o parliament_n make_v the_o prohibition_n conditional_a as_o it_o be_v for_o wheat_n etc._n etc._n though_o bread_n be_v the_o staff_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o all_o man_n life_n viz._n when_o it_o be_v not_o above_o such_o or_o such_o a_o price_n at_o the_o place_n of_o exportation_n or_o at_o london_n to_o be_v due_o certify_v then_o to_o be_v export_v and_o not_o else_o nay_o further_o that_o the_o prohibition_n may_v be_v make_v absolute_a for_o six_o or_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o year_n as_o from_o the_o first_o of_o may_n or_o june_n to_o the_o first_o of_o december_n or_o more_o that_o no_o wool_n shall_v be_v export_v within_o those_o month_n upon_o the_o severe_a penalty_n that_o can_v be_v invent_v that_o so_o our_o own_o people_n shall_v and_o may_v have_v the_o opportunity_n and_o benefit_n of_o pre-emption_a if_o they_o please_v and_o this_o way_n i_o conceive_v there_o will_v be_v less_o wool_n open_o transport_v than_o be_v now_o do_v secret_o by_o stealth_n iii_o or_o that_o the_o parliament_n direct_a work-house_n to_o be_v set_v up_o in_o every_o market-town_n in_o england_n for_o the_o work_n out_o of_o all_o our_o wool_n with_o such_o regulations_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v fit_a which_o may_v be_v so_o constitute_v as_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o ease_v the_o burdensome_a parish-charge_a of_o the_o poor_a which_o begin_v to_o grow_v too_o heavy_a for_o we_o to_o bear_v already_o in_o many_o place_n or_o direct_v some_o other_o way_n for_o the_o buy_v up_o destroy_v or_o consumption_n of_o it_o at_o home_n by_o sumptuary_n law_n order_v such_o and_o such_o degree_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o wear_v only_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n &c_n &c_n iv_o or_o that_o the_o parliament_n give_v free_a liberty_n to_o all_o person_n be_v our_o own_o freeborn_a subject_n to_o export_v our_o own_o woollen_a manufacture_n to_o any_o part_n or_o place_n beyond_o the_o sea_n whatever_o and_o that_o the_o several_a company_n be_v regulate_v as_o to_o the_o trade_n in_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o their_o export_v our_o bullion_n and_o also_o as_o to_o what_o good_n they_o import_n which_o hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n at_o home_n v._o and_o that_o they_o prohibit_v the_o importation_n of_o irish_a wool_n as_o strict_o in_o all_o respect_n as_o they_o prohibit_v the_o exportation_n of_o our_o own_o or_o else_o that_o ireland_n be_v prevent_v as_o strict_o from_o export_v any_o of_o their_o wool_n into_o france_n flanders_n holland_n or_o any_o other_o foreign_a part_n as_o well_o as_o we_o be_v prevent_v for_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n we_o shall_v impoverish_v ourselves_o and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o make_v the_o irish_a in_o general_a rich_a or_o some_o private_a person_n and_o particular_a company_n of_o our_o own_o to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o damage_n of_o five_o hundred_o time_n as_o many_o i_o know_v nothing_o can_v hardly_o be_v propose_v which_o may_v not_o be_v attend_v with_o some_o inconveniency_n and_o we_o owe_v most_o of_o it_o to_o the_o make_n of_o the_o unfortunate_a irish_a act_n but_o that_o which_o we_o ought_v now_o to_o consider_v be_v which_o will_v be_v the_o less_o and_o the_o great_a inconveniency_n i_o know_v also_o there_o be_v two_o vulgar_a objection_n to_o this_o common_o make_v but_o if_o they_o be_v thorough_o and_o right_o consider_v be_v very_o small_a or_o indeed_o no_o objection_n at_o all_o object_n i._o that_o this_o will_v be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o hindrance_n to_o the_o set_v our_o own_o poor_a at_o work._n answer_n it_o can_v be_v no_o loss_n at_o all_o for_o whether_o the_o price_n of_o wool_n be_v at_o ten_o penny_n eight_o penny_n or_o six_o penny_n a_o pound_n the_o work_n of_o the_o poor_a be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o about_o it_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o nor_o have_v they_o more_o or_o less_o for_o it_o and_o now_o much_o be_v steal_v over_o which_o they_o do_v not_o work_v out_o at_o all_o which_o if_o a_o good_a price_n be_v fix_v on_o it_o will_v remain_v here_o to_o be_v work_v out_o but_o i_o will_v make_v it_o apparent_a that_o this_o be_v mere_o a_o bare_a pretence_n in_o these_o objector_n more_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o 1._o then_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v why_o the_o hamborrow-company_n send_v over_o so_o many_o white_a clothes_n to_o the_o great_a loss_n and_o hindrance_n of_o the_o poor_a dyer_n here_o 2._o but_o if_o they_o indeed_o consult_v the_o good_a of_o the_o poor_a why_o do_v the_o east-india_n company_n import_v so_o many_o wrought_a indian_a silk_n to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o hindrance_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o silk-weaver_n of_o our_o own_o and_o why_o do_v they_o or_o be_v they_o suffer_v to_o import_n many_o other_o such_o good_n as_o hinder_v the_o sale_n of_o our_o own_o manufacture_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o 3._o and_o why_o do_v the_o french_a merchant_n import_n 〈◊〉_d by_o stealth_n as_o well_o as_o otherwise_o so_o great_a quantity_n of_o wrought_a silk_n from_o france_n and_o it_o be_v no_o small_a shame_n as_o well_o as_o loss_n to_o the_o kingdom_n in_o general_n they_o be_v suffer_v to_o import_n so_o much_o any_o way_n both_o to_o the_o over_o balance_v of_o their_o export_a trade_n with_o france_n and_o to_o the_o great_a prejudice_n damage_n and_o impoverish_v of_o ten_o thousand_o of_o poor_a weaver_n and_o other_o of_o our_o poor_a that_o may_v be_v employ_v in_o work_v and_o make_v the_o same_o silk_n manufacture_n here_o at_o home_n and_o thus_o many_o thousand_o more_o of_o our_o poor_a may_v be_v set_v to_o work_v than_o now_o be_v by_o they_o beside_o if_o these_o objector_n be_v in_o good_a earnest_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o poor_a why_o do_v they_o not_o buy_v up_o all_o our_o wool_n and_o not_o put_v any_o for_o want_n of_o vent_n upon_o a_o necessity_n of_o export_v any_o of_o it_o and_o so_o employ_v more_o of_o our_o poor_a but_o instead_o of_o that_o they_o leave_v a_o year_n or_o two_o year_n wool_n upon_o our_o hand_n and_o let_v the_o poor_a want_n so_o much_o employment_n object_n ii_o that_o then_o they_o beyond_o sea_n if_o they_o have_v our_o wool_n will_v make_v cloth_n and_o under-sell_a we_o at_o our_o market_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v lose_v the_o whole_a manufacture_n answer_n this_o objection_n do_v indeed_o concern_v such_o as_o be_v the_o first_o maker_n of_o the_o irish_a act_n and_o prohibit_v the_o bring_n in_o of_o live_v sheep_n from_o ireland_n with_o their_o wool_n on_o their_o back_n into_o england_n whereby_o their_o wool_n become_v our_o own_o growth_n but_o now_o it_o can_v have_v no_o weight_n with_o we_o so_o long_o as_o they_o beyond_o sea_n have_v have_v and_o can_v have_v wool_n from_o ireland_n which_o be_v as_o good_a as_o we_o beside_o from_o spain_n which_o be_v better_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v irish_a wool_n at_o a_o much_o cheap_a rate_n than_o we_o they_o may_v under-sell_a we_o though_o they_o have_v not_o a_o pound_n of_o we_o and_o the_o irish_a since_o the_o irish_a act_n have_v set_v up_o woollen_a manufactury_n and_o can_v and_o will_v serve_v foreign_a market_n cheap_a than_o we_o let_v we_o now_o do_v what_o we_o can_v thus_o then_o unless_o you_o or_o those_o that_o make_v the_o objection_n can_v buy_v up_o or_o destroy_v all_o the_o wool_n of_o the_o growth_n of_o ireland_n the_o objection_n prove_v altogether_o insignificant_a certain_o we_o ought_v not_o be_v so_o weak_a to_o destroy_v ourselves_o and_o let_v ireland_n have_v liberty_n to_o advance_v itself_o that_o they_o may_v make_v the_o best_a of_o their_o market_n for_o their_o growth_n while_o we_o prohibit_v and_o retrench_v our_o own_o give_v they_o leave_v to_o supply_v those_o market_n that_o we_o ourselves_o may_v and_o former_o do_v and_o so_o we_o wise_o raise_v the_o rent_n of_o land_n in_o ireland_n and_o fall_v our_o own_o which_o certain_o one_o will_v think_v can_v suit_v well_o with_o our_o right_a policy_n or_o true_a wisdom_n for_o the_o public_a good._n beside_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o toll_n and_o custom_n put_v upon_o all_o such_o wool_n as_o shall_v happen_v so_o to_o be_v export_v as_o shall_v render_v it_o so_o dear_a to_o they_o beyond_o sea_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o under-sell_a we_o at_o our_o market_n whereas_o now_o the_o price_n of_o wool_n be_v so_o low_o here_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o cause_v such_o as_o steal_v it_o over_o to_o sell_v it_o so_o much_o the_o low_a to_o they_o in_o france_n than_o they_o will_v do_v if_o it_o do_v bear_v a_o good_a price_n here_o at_o home_n so_o that_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v find_v by_o experience_n the_o lower_a the_o price_n of_o wool_n so_o much_o here_o do_v certain_o cause_v so_o much_o the_o more_o wool_n to_o be_v steal_v over_o or_o transport_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o prohibition_n that_o ever_o can_v be_v make_v the_o conclusion_n of_o all_o be_v this_o let_v there_o be_v some_o way_n find_v out_o for_o a_o full_a consumption_n at_o home_n and_o then_o let_v not_o a_o lock_n of_o wool_n be_v export_v otherwise_o without_o that_o it_o will_v prove_v unreasonable_a it_o will_v fall_v our_o rent_n and_o never_o will_v have_v the_o desire_a effect_n all_o which_o be_v humble_o submit_v to_o the_o mature_a consideration_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n
