leather_n to_o which_o the_o partner_n pretend_v skill_n and_o unlesss_v there_o be_v great_a odds_o of_o their_o skill_n the_o partner_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o the_o manufactory_a and_o that_o by_o the_o say_a erection_n they_o and_o the_o hail_n skinner_n of_o the_o kingdom_n sustain_v prejudice_n in_o so_o far_o as_o that_o skin_n be_v buy_v up_o by_o they_o and_o export_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o that_o the_o skinner_n can_v have_v enough_o of_o the_o product_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o serve_v the_o liege_n but_o at_o dear_a rate_n 2._o that_o if_o the_o say_v manufactory_a be_v free_a of_o public_a burden_n they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o out-sell_a all_o the_o skinner_n who_o bear_v a_o proportion_n of_o these_o burden_n and_o so_o

particular_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v allow_v to_o exercethe_v skinner_n trade_n but_o such_o as_o be_v admit_v by_o the_o say_a incorporation_n whytfield_n hayter_n and_o his_o partner_n need_v make_v no_o other_o answer_n but_o short_o this_o that_o all_o these_o objection_n be_v under_o the_o lord_n of_o privy_a council_n their_o consideration_n the_o time_n of_o their_o pronounce_v their_o act_n and_o particular_o their_o second_o act_n and_o that_o the_o opposition_n make_v by_o the_o skinner_n be_v chief_o of_o design_n to_o have_v a_o monopoly_n of_o dress_v of_o skin_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n which_o may_v clear_o appear_v from_o this_o that_o there_o be_v only_o one_o in_o the_o kingdom_n who_o know_v to_o dress_v leather_n the_o skinner_n at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o have_v take_v he_o bind_v to_o work_n to_o none_o but_o themselves_o however_o more_o particular_o it_o be_v answer_v 1._o that_o what_o be_v represent_v by_o the_o skinner_n themselves_o anent_o the_o exportation_n of_o leather_n do_v full_o evince_v the_o partner_n skill_n in_o dress_v of_o leather_n see_v if_o the_o leather_n be_v not_o dress_v better_a than_o ordinar_fw-mi it_o can_v not_o be_v so_o export_v as_o the_o skinner_n do_v complain_v it_o be_v and_o see_v the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o exportation_n of_o it_o he_o native_a commodity_n and_o manufactory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v so_o much_o tend_v to_o the_o advantage_n both_o of_o his_o majesty_n custom_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a nation_n it_o be_v hope_v that_o the_o skinner_n argument_n found_v upon_o the_o great_a exportation_n of_o leather_n occasion_v by_o the_o foresay_a manufactory_a will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o tend_v to_o their_o prejudice_n that_o on_o the_o contrair_a the_o copartner_n will_v retort_v the_o same_o and_o make_v it_o a_o argument_n why_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n ought_v to_o pass_v in_o their_o favour_n and_o as_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o skinner_n skill_n in_o dress_v shambo_n and_o marikin_n the_o copartner_n be_v not_o concern_v therein_o see_v it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o their_o manufactorie_a but_o as_o to_o any_o specimen_fw-la of_o their_o art_n if_o need_v beis_n they_o be_v willing_a to_o give_v the_o same_o when_o require_v but_o as_o say_v be_v the_o great_a export_n albeit_o it_o be_v not_o so_o great_a but_o there_o always_o remain_v sufficient_a to_o serve_v the_o skinner_n and_o a_o great_a quanity_n of_o skin_n even_o in_o the_o wool_n be_v yearly_o export_v be_v a_o sufficient_a demonstration_n and_o proof_n of_o their_o skill_n it_o be_v answer_v to_o the_o 2d_o and_o 3d._n that_o the_o same_o be_v of_o no_o moment_n in_o respect_n that_o the_o partner_n have_v be_v at_o vast_a charge_n and_o expense_n in_o set_v up_o their_o say_a manufactorie_a which_o will_v more_o than_o balance_v any_o immunity_n they_o may_v enjoy_v beside_o that_o always_o there_o be_v encouragement_n give_v to_o ingenious_a spirit_n for_o promote_a of_o new_a invention_n and_o manufactory_n and_o the_o advantage_n arise_v by_o the_o immunity_n be_v but_o small_a the_o skinner_n their_o proportion_n of_o relief_n will_v be_v very_o inconsiderable_a and_o will_v bear_v no_o proportion_n with_o the_o advantage_n they_o and_o the_o liege_n will_v reap_v by_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o say_v manufactorie_a especial_o these_o who_o state_n consist_v in_o sheep_n and_o cow_n neither_o will_v the_o king_n sustain_v any_o prejudice_n thereby_o see_v the_o thrive_a of_o the_o nation_n be_v his_o majesty_n great_a interest_n and_o desire_n and_o that_o as_o say_v be_v the_o kingdom_n be_v much_o better_v by_o the_o export_n beside_o that_o the_o foresaid_a export_n will_v occasion_n the_o import_n of_o commodity_n which_o will_v augment_v his_o majesty_n custom_n much_o more_o than_o they_o be_v diminish_v throw_v not_o pay_v of_o duty_n for_o export_n it_o be_v answer_v to_o the_o four_o that_o the_o seal_n of_o cause_n do_v no_o wave_n meet_v the_o present_a case_n see_v conform_v to_o act_n of_o council_n the_o copartner_n be_v not_o to_o set_v up_o within_o any_o
