manufacture_n i_o mean_v our_o own_o western_a plantation_n let_v other_o part_n of_o the_o european_a world_n look_v to_o themselves_o and_o share_v they_o among_o they_o the_o damage_n will_v light_v on_o some_o and_o by_o this_o do_n we_o shall_v wise_o support_v our_o wealth_n employ_v and_o increase_v our_o number_n of_o people_n which_o will_v keep_v up_o the_o value_n of_o land_n as_o to_o the_o kingdom_n pay_v dear_a for_o english_a wrought_v silk_n it_o be_v a_o needless_a fear_n for_o if_o man_n of_o substance_n have_v but_o reasonable_a encouragement_n to_o venture_v their_o stock_n in_o the_o silk_n manufactory_a we_o shall_v soon_o make_v such_o multititude_n of_o workman_n as_o shall_v enable_v we_o to_o sell_v better_a pennyworth_n than_o the_o east-india_n merchant_n do_v and_o this_o will_v be_v far_o better_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o kingdom_n than_o to_o let_v they_o be_v as_o at_o present_a about_o london_n reduce_v to_o a_o ten_o of_o what_o they_o be_v and_o at_o canterbury_n to_o a_o eight_o of_o our_o former_a number_n as_o for_o the_o dutch_a or_o other_o serve_v we_o with_o india_n good_n under_o pretence_n of_o their_o own_o manufacture_n it_o be_v a_o objection_n that_o have_v be_v sufficient_o answer_v and_o have_v little_a of_o weight_n in_o it_o unless_o we_o give_v up_o ourselves_o to_o despair_v rather_o than_o contend_v with_o any_o difficulty_n that_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v prevent_v as_o french_a alamodes_n and_o lustring_n if_o englishmen_n can_v have_v but_o the_o same_o favour_n as_o the_o french_a of_o that_o alamode_fw-fr

european_a part_n than_o any_o other_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o all_o manufacture_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v take_v the_o alarm_n and_o stand_v on_o their_o guard_n and_o this_o make_v the_o east-india_n merchant_n so_o zealous_a for_o a_o home_n consumption_n and_o it_o be_v we_o of_o all_o kingdom_n in_o europe_n that_o deserve_v the_o great_a blame_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o a_o little_a private_a profit_n to_o bring_v this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n into_o this_o straight_a for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o dutch_a but_o the_o english_a that_o first_o put_v the_o indian_n on_o that_o vast_a increase_n of_o silk_n worm_n as_o much_o to_o the_o detriment_n of_o the_o turkey_n and_o clothe_v trade_n as_o be_v the_o far_o manufacture_v thereof_o a_o great_a loss_n to_o

that_o put_v they_o on_o the_o far_a improvement_n to_o that_o great_a excess_n they_o be_v now_o at_o of_o throw_v die_v and_o weave_v when_o both_o they_o and_o the_o indian_n can_v not_o do_v

wrought_v into_o silk_n it_o be_v only_o the_o english_a that_o send_v over_o artist_n of_o all_o these_o trade_n and_o pattern-drawer_n and_o pattern_n that_o may_v suit_v the_o european_a humour_n and_o in_o plain_a english_a it_o be_v the_o english_a it_o be_v the_o english_a and_o it_o will_v be_v the_o english_a that_o will_v be_v the_o only_a mad_a part_n of_o the_o world_n in_o this_o

and_o humour_n of_o the_o female_a sex_n with_o the_o advantage_n the_o late_a law_n have_v give_v incline_v several_a man_n of_o great_a stock_n and_o many_o of_o they_o out_o of_o necessity_n and_o against_o their_o judgement_n and_o inclination_n mere_o for_o the_o employment_n of_o their_o estate_n to_o advantage_n to_o strike_v into_o this_o pernicious_a india_n trade_n so_o that_o the_o vogue_n and_o cry_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o public_a good_a work_v backward_o be_v like_o our_o waterman_n with_o a_o high_a india_n high_a india_n high_a to_o almost_o a_o total_a neglect_n and_o disrespect_n of_o the_o good_a and_o welfare_n of_o the_o turkey_n and_o other_o more_o advantageous_a trade_n of_o england_n with_o a_o subversion_n of_o our_o most_o profitable_a manufacture_n for_o as_o they_o have_v leave_v the_o imbroider_n little_o more_o than_o a_o name_n and_o both_o cabinet_n and_o fan-maker_n be_v force_v to_o be_v content_v to_o become_v their_o jobber_n and_o broker_n by_o applaud_v and_o advance_v the_o price_n of_o those_o commodity_n that_o be_v the_o ruin_n of_o number_n of_o their_o trade_n so_o they_o seem_v to_o aim_v at_o the_o destruction_n of_o all_o

that_o late_o one_o parcel_n be_v seize_v and_o be_v in_o the_o custom-house_n warehouse_n and_o i_o hope_v will_v not_o escape_v due_a prosecution_n but_o that_o the_o custom-house_n commissioner_n
