Treasure but now to reap the full benefit of all their former Costs be better than to have Ireland an useless Limb chargeable and hazarding the Health of the whole English Frame then certainly 't is England's great Profit and Advantage to encourage this Enlarged part of England for 't is no other now with all Natural Affection Tenderness and Care and so I can't believe but England will do being thereto obliged by the Laws of God which take great care of Mankind by Natural wisdom and Polity and true Love even of themselves Prop. III. That the Woollen Manufactures of Ireland are a considerable Security to the Peace and good Government of England Since Ireland after her late almost Mortal Distemper for whose Body the Devil and all his Angels fought with Michael and his is blessed be God and praised be his Glorious Instrument King William not only restored to her former Health and Vigour but her very Youth re-commenc'd and all the latent Seeds of Disorder are irradicated and removed She may truly boast that her Protestant Inhabitants are as sound a Body of People to their Prince Country Religion and Laws as are to be found in the Universe A Jacobite Protestant is now one of those Venomous Animals that will not endure Irish Earth Wolves indeed we have and Foxes but these are now rather Game and Diversion than noxious or hurtful If an Irish Tory or Rapparce prey now but on an English Lamb we have our Hounds ready for him and a full-mouth'd Outlawry gives him Chase and his Head becomes of more value than a Wolfe's so that they are forc'd to wear Sheep-skins themselves for fear of disturbing our Flocks Seeing then that Ireland is so perfectly at Unity in her self that we have not the least Faction or Division among us that our Sun and our Shield are the Protestant Religion and King William we are a very great addition to the Loyal Party in England with whom and for whom we must live and die Would to God England were so free from Noxious Humours but perhaps her Cure was too soon and too easie and therefore only Time and her Healthy Constitution must wear 'em off Ireland now is without doubt the Envy of the Jacobites who out of pure Malice would be glad that the Irish Papists were more considerable than they are as being on their side and therefore we do not wonder if under pretence of England's Interest they desire to have the Protestants recall'd or banisht hence This Country would then be a good Meeting place for the French and Irish to renew their interrupted Projects and Councels and Correspondencies with the Highlanders and they well know that English Protestants will not live if they can help it without Imployment whereby to live decently They can't live with a Cow and Potato-Garden on a Mountain side in a Cabin built in a Days time which the Irish naturally do and there is no other Imployment for so great Numbers of Protestants as God be praised are now in Ireland but that of Woollen Manufactures Therefore says the Jacobite in England Cut away that Root and they 'll all wither No no instead of taking away the Honest Means to get our Bread here our Gracious King William will keep a good Protestant Army here where they 'll be welcome and this Country will maintain 'em without any Charge to England or prejudice to it self but will be the better in having so many the more English-men especially when the intended Baracks are made amongst us But suppose the worst that this Project to put down our Weoken Manufactures should prevail and consequently force the English Protestants to withdraw from this Island The best then that could be hoped for would be that the Scots would succeed in our rooms Now pray what better security can England have that those Industrious and Hardy People won't make Serges and Bays and through Scotland send 'em where they please Ay but the Scots are a meek harmless People that will not pursue their Interest their Common and National Advantages without leave from Mr. C y and some other of the West of England therefore there is no danger of them For though Mr. C y can't Bridle nor Saddle much less Ride 'em in Scotland yet if he catch 'em on Irish Ground he will tie 'em to Rack Staves and take away their Oats and Meal However I hope England will not try his Experiment least his Notions prove too Metaphysical to be of any Use and too sine for Practice Then let us conclude that England had e'en as good foster and cherish her own Legitimate Issue as to adopt those of other People who may perhaps in time forget that single piece of Bounty and go on to do themselves all the good that occasion may present them with Or shall we suppose that in regard Europe is so Canton'd out into petit States and Principalities that England strictly so called is more than a Match for any one of them and therefore scorns to be enlarged by any new accession of Strength which the Kingdom of Ireland would if encourag'd in Woollen Manufactures surely be to her But Safety and Victory are never to be hazarded where they can be got without it It 's much more than probable to me that had Ireland in the Reign of King Charles I. Been so happy as to have been so fully Inhabited by Protestants as blessed be God she is now there had been no Massacre of the Brittish Nations here in 1641 nor had that Dismal and Bloody Rebellion ensued nor had the Earl of Strafford thought it good Policy as he did some time before that to hold the English who had the Artificial and the Irish who by their Numbers at least had the Natural Strength of the Kingdom in a Ballance which he held in his own Hands that both the one and the other might depend on his Arbitrement His vast Ambition of Power was not less than his very great Parts To humour which as he was resolved to serve his Master without reserve so he expected by that Machine to compel Ireland to serve him But Story too sadly relates the Unhappy Catastrophy of this Policy For his Arbitrary Proceedings produced a Legal Act of Attainder against his Lordship's Head And the Irish with their Natural surprized the Artificial Strength of the English in most places of the Kingdom using them with ineffable Cruelty which mightily encreased the Confusion and Flame in England that ended not till some Years after Neither do I believe that the late King James had ever form'd the Design to Reign Despotically in England had Ireland been so replete with Protestants as God be praised over and over again she now is Tyrconnel then would not have durst taken the Sword of Ireland into his Romish Paws in Contempt of our Manifold Laws against it he would not have dared to Disband an English Army to Enlist Irish Enemies in their room and to put the Civil
A DISCOURSE ON THE Woollen Manufactury OF IRELAND AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF Prohibiting its EXPORTATION DVBLIN Re-printed by J. B. and S. P. at the Back of Dick's Coffee-House in Skinner-Row And are to be Sold by Jacob Milner Bookseller in Essex-street 1698. A DISCOURSE OF THE Woollen Manufactury in IRELAND c. DURING the Session of Parliament in England the Winter 96 the Project for suppressing the Exportation of all Woollen Manufactures from Ireland advanced so far that as I remember there was some Debate thereon in the House of Commons Now we are advised that the same Design is on foot again Wherefore I think in my Duty to God my King and my Country comprehending therein both England and Ireland to shew as far as my little Abilities can the People of England the Mighty Wound that thereby wou'd be given shou'd any such Prohibitory Act pass to the Protestant Religion in both Islands the great loss of Wealth Wealth I say the chief Object of their aim therein particularly to England And lastly that England's Peace Safety and good Government wou'd thereby be extremely exposed to new Troubles both Foreign and Intestine That on the contrary the cherishing the Protestants of Ireland in their Woollen Manufactures the only thing that can well support their Numbers here will bring more Gain to England than the Prohibition propos'd I am not so conceited as to think that the Truth of these Propositions are not clear and apparent to very many of both Kingdoms without my help but in Common Danger the help and skill of every one is to be admitted Proposition I. That the Reformed Religion is much propagated in Ireland by the Woollen Manufactures there Tho the Doctrines of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ are the most simple intelligible and easie to humane Nature of any Religion in the World and his Precepts and Examples guide us in the most Delightful Happy and Wisest Ways of Life that Mortality is capable of yet both Doctrine and Precepts are alas but too little understood and less practis'd by the Generality of our People who tho' excellently instructed in both by our Ministers have not so delightful and clear a knowledge therein as to be able to give manifest Reason of the Hope that is in them yet generally are satisfied of the Truth thereof like Men who learn another Language than their own soon understand more thereof than they can speak themselves But tho very many of them can't in any tolerable Order lay down their own Principles yet ask 'em What are the Faults they find in the Romish Perswasion They 'll passionately reply 't is a False Base Cruel Religion What Popery to burn and hang People Inquisition and Dragoon 'em if they won't do as they would have ' em and if they do then keep 'em Slaves and Beggars whilst the Abby Lubbers Friars and Priests devour their Labours living and when they dye make their Posterity pay Money for the Redemption of their Souls No rather than be of that Religion they 'll be of none Thus tho the Reformation was first promoted by the great Learning Wisdom and Holiness of Life of these whom God of his great Mercy and Grace strengthned to undertake a Work so difficult and dangerous the Truth whereof many sealed with their Blood yet now it is continued by the generality of its Professors not only for its Truths sake which they take for granted but far more sensibly for its being a Fortress or Bulwark against all Arbitrary Power or Violence over their Lives Liberties and Goods Popery they dread as a Monster that would evour 'em and all that is theirs and therefore they had rather die in the Contest than be eaten up alive Of all the Occupations and Trades by which our People get their Living there are none so great Enemies to Popery and Papists as generally our Marriners and Clothiers and therefore very rarely admit any Papist Seaman if he appear to be such either to Sail or Work with them Several Papists indeed are Fishermen and Boatmen but if they use the Sea for any considerable time they so long disguise their Faith that they lose or change it at last So that tho the Protestants of Ireland have had a long time a large Commerce by Sea yet are there very few Papists if compared with the others I think I can only except the County and Town of Wexford where there lately were many Papist Seamen but the Inhabitants there are of an Old English Stock and so much more addicted to a Seafaring-Trade than the Irish which their great Herring-Fishing did much encourage and promote Besides there never was a sufficient Body of Protestant Merchants or Marriners to Discourage or Convert them However 't is to be observed that in the late War with the French King our Coasts were more Infested and consequently more injury done us by those Wexford Deserters in French Privateers than by all the rest put together for they knowing all the Coast Rocks Shoals Harbours and Rivers attempted what no Stranger could or durst attempt And this Injury had been far greater had not our Protestant Merchants and Seamen by their Aversion for 'em prevented their Increase in all other Parts of Ireland As our Seamen so our Clothiers have an invincible Prejudice against permitting any Papists to be instructed in their Art and Mystery as they term it These People are divided into several parts that compose the whole of that Trade viz. The Clothier or Imployer of the rest the Comber the Spinner the Weaver the Miller or Tucker the Dyar the Racker Pressers c. in all which parts they admit no Papist any share The thi●rs Combers Munster specially Cork much 〈◊〉 cautious Discover their and ●●●r●●s to ●●st● 〈◊〉 th●s● in ●●ster are except in the Spinning done by the Women and a small part of the Weaving But shou'd any Papist pretend as a Master Clothier to set up the Trade in any City or Corporate-Town the Protestants of that Trade wou'd soon humble his Pride and Arrogance and no more suffer him than Rome would suffer the Bible to appear in Spain and Italy in their Vulgar Tongues Instead of suffering him to follow their Trade as they call it they would drive him from the place especially since by the Laws no Papist is capable of his Freedom in any Corporate-Town in Ireland and so consequently incapable to be Master in any Trade there The Combers are mostly English Men who are so strictly Confederated against suffering any Papist to intermeddle with their Trade that shou'd a Master imploy a Papist-Comber the rest are all dissolved from his Service not one will or dare serve him but instead thereof if they can conveniently apprehend his Minion they 'll break his Thumbs so that he shall never Comb Wooll again but leave him to lament that ever he did Some very few Papists are allowed by them to be Tuckers but rather to serve the Country in ordinary
as full of English Protestant Inhabitants as England is and as rich Would not England then have double the Power both in Men and Money of what she now has to support her Wars Would not her Vent of her own and her Plantation Goods be vastly greater than if Ireland were Desert o● Protestants or which is worse be in an Enemies Hands But suppose it 's objected Ireland is Peopled by the Depopulation of England and gains no more in Trade than she loses but this is evidently false English are not so fond of their own Country tho' a good one but that an English Man will as well as a Scot who has a bad one Travel abroad rather than live in a poor and painful manner at home If there were no Ireland he would find the way to new-New-England Virginia Maryland or some other place but Ireland lies rather fit to save them from being carried utterly away and lost from England to which he or his encreased Progeny may be restored on any Emergency For the Man of Devon may be as well forbid to go thence to York and say it depopulates England as to prevent his going to Dublin whence he may be as soon back or if be think sit to stay here he is still an English-man and ready for the Defence and Service of his Country whether it be attempted on this or that side And 't is very Unnatural to hinder Men to Live where they can live best especially if under the same Government and Polity As to the Gain Ireland makes by a Trade so prejudicial to England This is indeed a common Topick whereon many declaim against Ireland but have very little cause for it as appears by what has been said already Does no Country make Woollen Goods but England and Ireland Yes they do namely France Scotland Holland Flanders and many more Well then all these may as well rail against Ireland for lessening their Trade also But the truth of it is that Ireland coming into Conjunction with England in this Trade they mutually strengthen each other which may indeed be a great disheartning to Forreign Nations but is no less an Encouragement and Support to England for that she not only gets her own but our Money also and keeps her Sons about her tho' not in the same House yet planted within Call whose Voice they must and will readily Obey Now that we have seen the good Effects that England will surely have by cherishing her Children planted in Ireland let us take a View of the Damage that would befal her should she not suffer 'em to dwell there or which is all one not let 'em use that Industry there which is necessary for their convenient Support and this we will chiefly suppose to be done by Prohibiting our Manufactures Assoon as this fatal stroke is struck which God avert as deadly to the Protestant Interest in both Kingdoms the Poor Widdow and her Helpless Children sit down and lament for want of Bread The Cities then have too many Houses for their Inhabitants and are breaking up House-keeping and going not for England except that in America but to Pensilvania Carolina Holland Germany any where Scotland it self rather than be so shamefully and hopelesly brought back to their Angry Masters in Devon and Summerset Well then this done here is to be an Army at England's Charge or to live on Rapine who will Intermarry with and degenerate into Irish Rebel and perhaps not so easily as heretofore if at all reduced But suppose it better How shall the King's Revenue arise for Payment of the Civil and Military Lists For support of the Magazines and remittance of a considerable Over-plus into the Exchequer of England For tho' before the Woollen Manufactures took Root here Ireland was a great Charge to England yet she was paying her Old Debts apace when she found a way to Employ her People How little Tillage and Cattle will serve this Country when they who are the chief Buyers and Consumers are gone How small a quantity of English and Plantation Goods shall we import when we have no way to get Money to pay for them The Revenue of Ireland will very soon if our Woollen Manufactures be encouraged amount to more than 500000 l per Annum Let not this seem strange for according to the Advances it made after the Act of Settlement and Explanation in Ireland altho' tempered with extraordinary Lenity to the Irish Papists it rise as I take it from 160000 to 340000 l without any new Grants or Impositions nay contrarily many great Sums reserved on Papists Estates were wholly and for ever acquitted and discharged This great Improvement of the Revenue owed its chief Cause to the Woollen Manufactures which continually furnish'd the poor Spinner and Comber with daily Money to Smoak and Drink So that in all the Towns where the said Manufactures were the Inland-Excise as we term the Imposition on Ale Beer and Vsquebaugh advanced incredibly Will Taunton Exeter and Teverton pay all this Damage No they would indeed rather see Ireland Drowned Annihilated Therefore we are lead to hope that neither the King nor his Great Council in Parliament will think it adviseable to treat the Protestant English Subjects thus severely so immediately after having made a Law to incourage their coming hither as to deprive 'em of the most proper Means of getting a Livelihood decent and sit for English Protestants To please some mistaken Gentiemen and Clothiers in the West of England and the Factors at Blackwell-Hall The Poor French Hugonots that are for the Cause of a Good Con●●●ce Banisht their Native Soil and Invited here by the Clemency of his Most Gracious Maiesty and Laws newly made in their favour will think themselves miserable indeed when instead of following their respective Trade they find themselves condemned to go to the Mountains to feed Cattle and to Plow neither of which they at all understand Surely care must be taken to assign 'em Lands in Shares as is done in Fez and Morocco For when the Trade is gone who will buy their Corn and Cattle But to all this it is answer'd You shall have the Linnen Trade We thank you for your kind intention If we were sit for it as we in all the South parts are not where are the Forreign Markets Can England prohibit Holland German c. to forbear that Trade in favour to Ireland at least not to under do us Now if it be more prosit for England to receive vast Revenues out of Ireland both Publick and Private to receive very great Benefits by furnishing her with Native and Pla●●at on Goods to have her deserting People settle and Plant so near her that they can't properly be said to have left her to have a Country that was full of most inveterate Enemies Enemies to their Religion Nation and Government changed into the most Faithful Friends and Relations that they can hope for and to be at no more expence of Blood or
conclude that seeing our Manufactures especially our great and chiefest the Woollen can't thrive nay scarce subsist without the benign Influence and Protection of a Protestant Government that certainly those Artificers and Traders from Principles of Self-Interest Love and a full perswasion of its being the best Government and best Religion in the World will immoveably adhere thereto and propagate the same by all possible means to strengthen and enlarge themselves And that therefore the Protestants of Ireland who gave the Irish Papists the worst and most inveterate of all others for their Enemies must with one Heart and one Mind love the present Government of England that rescu'd 'em from their insupportable Cruelties and gave 'em opportunity to serve God in his own way and honestly to live by their Labours and Industry And therefore the encouraging encreasing and confirming of this sort of People is a very great security to the Profession of the Protestant Religion For Men naturally love to choose the Right when they may safely do it but much more when invited by other Advantages also It may be objected Since Protestanism is so great a Patroness of Manufactures how comes China so famous for ' em There is no Protestant Religion there I answer nor Papist Religion nor any thing like it for Fraud Violence or Oppression Where there is no Popery I believe Manufactures may flourish but never where it is Prop. II. That the Wealth of England is much augmented by the Woollen Manufactures and Navigation of Ireland A Stranger arriving in England and should hear many Persons there of seeming good Parts and Repute rail against Ireland sometimes wishing it under Water sometimes Wasted Deserted and what not would think that the People of this Island were some deadly Enemies who infested their Coasts with Piracy and Depredation were the Subjects of some haughty injurious Prince who kept no Faith with 'em but did them all the Mischief in the World he would not dream that we are one and the same People Parents and Children Brothers and Sisters sometimes dwelling here sometimes there that we are of one Religion that we are a Province of their Empire and have neither Laws nor Governours but of their sending us What is it then that we have done to provoke such Indignation Why we made Serges Bays and other Woollen Goods and sent 'em to Holland Flanders Spain Portugal c. would he not wonder what Crime was this and ask what Law or Friendship we violated None say we and hope never shall but being instructed there to get our Living honestly we have endeavoured to do so here But our Fault is that by medling with the Woollen Manufactures we have lower'd the Price àbroad I may well deny the Consequence but for this time I will grant it Well then we have lower'd the Price abroad and so England has had the less profit yet our Trade will be found to be a great addition to the Wealth of England in general For whatever some West-Country Gentlemen take Ireland to be and whatever it was formerly when in the Hands of the Native Irish and Papists it is now an English Protestant Country and to be reputed no more separate from the Care of the Monarch of Great-Brittain than Yorkshire Cheshire or any other part of England Is it because there is a little Channel that runs between Wales and Wexford that when any English dare cross that Stream they must be divested of English Priviledge as if they had transgrest some Law of Nature Or as if indeed Nequicquam Deus abscidit Prudens Oceano dissociabili Terras Horat. God did divide by Seas in vain The Islands from the Main If impious Ships Unite 'em all again Then 't is the Fields on the East side of that Water are blest and those on the West are curst but neither God nor the King will say so Or is' t that one Nation can't live in two Islands as well as two very different Nations dwell in one Island But to return to our promised Wealth from which the Devonshire Gentlemen are kept too long Ireland if permitted to Ship off her Manufactures the quantity from both Kingdoms will in all probability be very much greater than from one And altho hereby at first it may something abate the price of each Piece yet the proceeds of all will be exceedingly more for the scarcer and dearer any thing is the less is made use of and on the contrary the cheaper and more plenty any thing is the Consumption will be also so much the more This will also discourage the Forreign Manufactures for when they see how very cheap and plenty they are brought 'em from England and Ireland they may incline to something else to which they may have more Conveniencies and Encouragement We will suppose then that Exeter sent 1000 pieces of Serges to Holland and had got 2000 Guilders by them had not 1000 pieces arrived at the same time from Cork and reduced their profit to 1500 Guilders and those from Cork making the same Gain put the Account together and there is 3000 Guilders profit by both instead of 2000 by one But says the Man of Land and Trade in Devon What is your 1500 Guilders to us I say as much as if H●ll or Yarmouth got them For 't is very little or no return of Goods we have from Holland Flanders c. but our Money is either brought in Specie or remitted by Bills which at last comes to terminate in the same thing to London When 't is there both Principle which is at least 2500 l more as well as the 1500 Guilders Profit which is about 150 l are applied to the Payment of Irish Rents due to the Nobility Gentry and Rich Men of England and others to Pay the Expence of our Sons at Study at Oxford Cambridge or the Inns of Court to buy vast Quantities of Hops Tobacco Sugar Dye-Stuffs and a thousand other things so far as our Money will go When all this is done what Money our Trade produces more than our Rents payable there the Generous Education of our Children there and the Goods we bring thence amount to is our own to go on with our Trades to do so again and to improve 〈◊〉 Estates at home So that every unprejudic'd Man may see that we are a co●●●derable Root of England's Wealth and add greatly thereto And Dev●● may with as sound reasoning prohibit Yorkshire to Ship off any ●●rsies Colch●ste● challenge the whole Bay-Trade and Norwich the Stuffs and London pretend to prohibit all Out-Ports to Import or Export any Forreign or Native Commodities because they lessen her Trade thereby and that she mo●● powerfully than any City in England supports all Exigencies of the State But how much wiser is the contrary or this Viz. To encourage all the Members of the same Body to extend Care and Kindness to all that from all they may receive mutual Aid and Benefit I pray suppose all Ireland
and Military Power into those Hands which the Laws of the Realm had Disarmed of both nor to have applied those Revenues to the Ruin of the Protestants who granted and designed them for their own Defence The Premises considered the Safety of England and Ireland under God are the great Numbers of Protestants in both Kingdoms But as England can't have 'em without ways to Maintain and Support them so neither 〈◊〉 ●●●nd and there is no other way Humanly speaking than by the Wooller Manufactures And God has in his Providence so order'd it that there is room enough in the World to vent the Productions of both Kingdoms Methinks I hear an Objection That we have heard of great Bridges built upon Wooll-sacks but never of a Church built upon Woollen-Cloth a●● this Man labours to perswade us that the Reformed Churches of England and I●●●●nd are Bantering will not do now We know that our Church is built upon the Rock Christ Jesus Eternal Truth which nothing in Earth Rome or Hell shall ever prevail against But seeing she is Militant here on Earth tho her Foundation be impregnable she must take care of her Out-Works and keep good Garrisons and Armies whose Common Soldiers are best made up of ●●●●stant Marriners and Manufactures which Professions our Saviour's own Disciples follow'd who tho often too irregular in their own private Actions are nevertheless very Faithful to the General and Common Cause Of these our Armies can never be too many for they 'll Fight and Work to Defend and Support that which Defends and Supports them and all the Pay they desire is to have that Liberty which even Nature not vitiated bestows on Mankind The Liberty I say to get their own Living by their Labour and Industry and Protection of their Goods gotten thereby Whilst they are thus rewarded scarce any will ever Desert much less Mutiny or Revolt POSTSCRIPT IF the Cheapness of a Commodity of Vse doth increase its Vent than which nothing is more apparently true it must undoubtedly be the Interest of England to render her Woollen Manufactures Cheap at Forreign Markets For that there is scarce any State or Kingdom in Europe that is not her Competiter therein who being Vnder-sold must of consequence lessen and be discourag'd the making the same Manufactures would it not then be more fit to allow Ireland a Province absolutely dependent on England a Share in this Trade than to give it to Forreigners who will inlarge their Manufactures of Wool when the Exportation of them from England is lessen'd by raising the price there which seems to be the chief Design of the intended prohibition on Ireland that otherwise together with England might by making them Cheaper and in greater quantities become the sole Exporters of Woollen Manufactures Besides there are few if any Examples wherein Prohibitions and Monopolies in Trade have been advantagious to the publick they mostly tend to the benefiting of particulars and hurt the Generality and I apprehend if it were throughly inquir'd into that the Prohibiting the Importing of Irish Lean-Cattle into England would be found an Instance of it For that ever since the people of Ireland have fallen into the Trade of Fatting their Cattle themselves and have Exported their Beef c. in large quantities to the Plantations Holland Flanders France Spain and Italy and English Shipping frequently Victual with Irish Beef And thus England hath lost a great part of her Exportations of this kind which constantly keeping down the price at home hath much prejudic'd the Feeding Lands and I doubt hath not much advantag'd the Breeding Lands of England a far greater number of Lean Cattle having been brought in from Scotland since than were before that Prohibitory Law was made And 't is more then probable that this pretended Mischief of the Increase of the Woollen Manufactury of Ireland doth arise from this Restraint put upon the Irish from Exporting their Black-Cattle into England because they were necessitated by it to run upon Breeding a greater number of Sheep which furnishing them with vast store of Wooll lead them most Naturally to the Manufacturing of it and should the people of Ireland be denied the Priviledge that both Nature and Necessity seems to Intitle them to of Exporting the Superfluities of their Manufactures It will be very happy if such a Restraint be not attended with worse Consequences to the Lands and Trade of England than those that Prohibiting of Irish Cattle may have occasion'd FINIS
