which_o he_o entire_o mistake_v so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a that_o answer_n have_v little_a in_o it_o as_o they_o who_o will_v take_v the_o trouble_n of_o sedately_a read_n and_o compare_v one_o with_o the_o other_o will_v find_v the_o last_o answer_n be_v more_o regular_a and_o look_v more_o plausible_a but_o be_v examine_v will_v not_o i_o think_v with_o submission_n appear_v to_o carry_v any_o great_a weight_n and_o will_v be_v find_v to_o contain_v many_o mistake_v the_o author_n assert_n that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v former_o by_o the_o advocate_n for_o the_o east-india_n trade_n that_o their_o manufacture_n and_o toy_n be_v not_o spend_v in_o england_n but_o transport_v to_o foreign_a market_n and_o thereby_o occasion_v the_o importation_n of_o more_o bullion_n than_o ever_o be_v export_v and_o that_o therefore_o that_o trade_n be_v no_o damage_n to_o england_n but_o that_o the_o truth_n be_v now_o own_a that_o half_a of_o the_o say_a good_n be_v consume_v at_o home_o which_o he_o say_v be_v former_o deny_v but_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v give_v more_o proof_n thereof_o then_o only_o say_v so_o before_o he_o have_v ground_v such_o a_o insinuation_n thereon_o as_o if_o what_o be_v say_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o east-india_n trade_n need_v to_o be_v support_v with_o falsity_n for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v there_o have_v be_v no_o other_o argument_n make_v use_v of_o in_o its_o behalf_n but_o what_o be_v then_o and_o be_v still_o true_a that_o the_o east-india_n trade_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o bring_v much_o more_o bullion_n into_o england_n than_o it_o carry_v out_o which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v and_o i_o must_v deny_v what_o he_o assert_v also_o in_o the_o beginning_n that_o the_o india_n manufacture_v good_n do_v hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o what_o be_v fabrickt_v by_o our_o own_o people_n to_o that_o degree_n or_o in_o that_o sense_n which_o he_o suggest_v but_o with_o the_o author_n i_o do_v agree_v that_o the_o land_a man_n be_v more_o concern_v in_o this_o contest_v than_o the_o weaver_n for_o if_o the_o propose_v prohibition_n pass_v it_o will_v only_o enrich_v a_o few_o master_n silk_n weaver_n and_o their_o factor_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n take_v away_o the_o mean_n of_o increase_v the_o stock_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o alone_o can_v raise_v the_o value_n of_o the_o land_n of_o england_n i_o go_v on_o therefore_o to_o consider_v the_o east-india_n trade_n the_o author_n of_o the_o answer_n pa_n 4._o find_v fault_n with_o the_o computation_n of_o our_o export_n to_o india_n and_o the_o profit_n upon_o the_o return_v and_o offer_v another_o account_n which_o i_o conceive_v very_o erroneous_a at_o least_o it_o be_v far_o from_o warrant_v the_o conclusion_n he_o draw_v that_o this_o trade_n have_v exhaust_v 400000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la of_o our_o treasure_n pa._n 6._o which_o shall_v be_v examine_v present_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n agree_v with_o he_o that_o nothing_o be_v the_o treasure_n of_o a_o nation_n but_o gold_n and_o silver_n the_o treasure_n of_o a_o nation_n not_o only_o consist_v in_o money_n but_o in_o money_n worth_n silver_n and_o gold_n serve_v as_o the_o measure_n of_o other_o commodity_n and_o be_v valuable_a only_o in_o proportion_n to_o they_o jewel_n lead_v tin_n iron_n silk_n woollen_a good_n ship_n etc._n etc._n aught_o to_o be_v value_v according_a to_o their_o worth_n that_o be_v what_o they_o will_v yield_v in_o money_n and_o all_o go_v to_o make_v up_o the_o riches_n and_o stock_n of_o a_o nation_n the_o nation_n that_o have_v in_o it_o five_o million_o of_o pound_n sterling_a silver_n and_o ten_o million_o worth_n of_o any_o good_n or_o commodity_n whatsoever_o one_o year_n and_o the_o next_o year_n shall_v have_v eight_o million_o of_o money_n and_o but_o four_o million_o worth_n of_o good_n be_v poor_a the_o last_o year_n than_o the_o former_a by_o three_o million_o if_o it_o be_v as_o the_o answerer_n say_v that_o good_n be_v not_o the_o riches_n of_o a_o nation_n till_o by_o exportation_n to_o foreign_a country_n they_o be_v convert_v into_o gold_n and_o silver_n no_o more_o than_o be_v money_n riches_n for_o you_o be_v not_o sure_o you_o shall_v purchase_v with_o that_o whatever_o you_o have_v occasion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o use_n of_o riches_n but_o to_o purchase_v what_o serve_v our_o necessity_n and_o delight_n or_o to_o enable_v we_o to_o preserve_v our_o possession_n when_o they_o be_v get_v and_o some_o good_n be_v more_o acceptable_a in_o some_o country_n at_o some_o time_n than_o money_n and_o therefore_o be_v as_o well_o adapt_v to_o answer_v the_o aforesaid_a end_n though_o as_o the_o author_n say_v they_o be_v not_o so_o convenient_a for_o trade_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v perishable_a or_o not_o their_o value_n be_v according_a to_o what_o they_o will_v yield_v in_o money_n i_o think_v it_o do_v not_o concern_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o proposition_n that_o the_o east-india_n trade_n be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o nation_n though_o as_o to_o the_o quantum_fw-la it_o may_v whether_o the_o computation_n in_o the_o essay_n be_v exact_a or_o no_o nor_o to_o examine_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o answerer_n account_v though_o by_o the_o way_n i_o must_v note_v that_o the_o last_o answerer_n pa._n 7._o as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a pa_n 14._o quite_o mistake_v in_o say_v the_o essay_n assert_n that_o the_o nation_n do_v increase_v in_o riches_n from_o anno_fw-la 1656_o to_o anno_fw-la 1688_o two_o million_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o upon_o that_o mistake_v both_o seem_v to_o triumph_v but_o if_o they_o have_v peruse_v the_o say_a treatise_n more_o careful_o they_o will_v have_v find_v that_o the_o author_n of_o the_o essay_n only_o say_v that_o he_o believe_v from_o about_o anno_fw-la 1656_o to_o anno_fw-la 1688_o this_o nation_n have_v every_o year_n gradual_o increase_v in_o riches_n and_o that_o about_o anno_fw-la 1688_o the_o increase_n and_o addition_n to_o the_o wealth_n and_o general_a stock_n of_o england_n arise_v from_o foreign_a trade_n and_o home_n manufacture_n be_v at_o least_o two_o million_o yearly_o which_o intimate_v only_o that_o about_o that_o time_n there_o be_v such_o a_o increase_n and_o not_o yearly_o from_o anno_fw-la 1656._o so_o that_o all_o the_o answerer_n say_v on_o that_o mistake_v head_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n i_o shall_v therefore_o leave_v both_o the_o account_n because_o i_o think_v the_o certainty_n of_o the_o sum_n do_v not_o so_o much_o concern_v the_o point_n in_o question_n as_o the_o proportion_n and_o i_o will_v take_v the_o matter_n both_o way_n first_o suppose_v that_o one_o thousand_o pound_n be_v send_v out_o to_o india_n ⅛_n to_o ¼_n part_n in_o good_n it_o will_v be_v allow_v i_o on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o value_n of_o about_o four_o thousand_o pound_n that_o be_v four_o for_o one_o more_o or_o less_o shall_v be_v return_v in_o indian_a silk_n etc._n etc._n if_o all_o these_o shall_v be_v spend_v at_o home_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o thousand_o

bullion_n the_o value_n of_o 200000_o l._n and_o then_o argue_v upon_o it_o whereas_o all_o trader_n in_o the_o exportation_n of_o india_n good_n know_v the_o fact_n to_o be_v quite_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o swell_v this_o too_o much_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v some_o article_n which_o the_o opposer_n of_o this_o prohibition_n offer_v to_o the_o most_o honourable_a house_n of_o lord_n to_o prove_v upon_o oath_n before_o they_o and_o distinguish_v between_o what_o part_n of_o they_o the_o weaver_n advocate_n in_o their_o print_a answer_n allow_v and_o what_o part_n they_o contradict_v though_o the_o person_n concern_v be_v yet_o ready_a to_o prove_v and_o make_v out_o the_o whole_a 1._o that_o near_o half_a the_o woollen_a manufacture_n send_v to_o india_n be_v vend_v at_o china_n surrat_n fort_n st._n george_n and_o the_o bay_n of_o bengal_n as_o well_o as_o at_o persia_n and_o be_v use_v for_o cover_v of_o room_n tent_n cover_v for_o camel_n and_o abundance_n of_o other_o use_n as_o well_o as_o garment_n and_o that_o the_o indian_n like_o our_o manufacture_n so_o well_o that_o the_o vent_v thereof_o be_v daily_o increase_v and_o the_o good_n propose_v to_o be_v prohibit_v be_v in_o great_a part_n the_o product_n of_o the_o say_v woollen_a manufacture_n 2._o that_o the_o value_n of_o one_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o other_o the_o product_n of_o england_n have_v actual_o be_v export_v to_o india_n 3._o that_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o money_n be_v send_v to_o turkey_n to_o help_v off_o our_o woollen_a manufacture_n as_o well_o as_o to_o india_n 4._o that_o in_o holland_n there_o be_v many_o more_o loom_n go_v than_o in_o england_n and_o notwithstanding_o they_o have_v a_o manufacture_n of_o their_o own_o much_o near_o to_o the_o indian_a than_o we_o yet_o they_o not_o only_a import_n these_o good_n from_o india_n themselves_o but_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v import_v into_o holland_n from_o all_o other_o part_n 5._o that_o the_o weaver_n in_o holland_n some_o year_n since_o petition_v the_o state_n to_o make_v such_o a_o prohibition_n as_o be_v propose_v here_o but_o upon_o a_o full_a hear_v of_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v reject_v 6._o that_o the_o french_a have_v mighty_o court_v the_o trade_n from_o india_n and_o settle_v the_o company_n trading_n thither_o with_o great_a advantage_n and_o in_o france_n these_o good_n be_v every_o where_o public_o sell_v and_o wear_v so_o that_o either_o there_o be_v no_o such_o edict_n in_o france_n as_o be_v pretend_v or_o it_o be_v dispense_v withal_o or_o some_o new_a edict_n have_v be_v since_o emit_v 7._o that_o the_o weaver_n have_v a_o good_a trade_n here_o in_o england_n and_o increase_v in_o their_o number_n whilst_o these_o east-india_n good_n come_v over_o in_o great_a plenty_n and_o when_o they_o be_v sell_v at_o half_a the_o price_n they_o be_v now_o at_o and_o there_o be_v at_o present_a a_o duty_n of_o 20_o per_fw-la cent._n upon_o they_o more_o than_o be_v then_o 8._o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o importation_n of_o these_o good_n which_o decay_v their_o trade_n if_o it_o be_v bad_a but_o the_o calamity_n of_o the_o war_n alteration_n of_o the_o coin_n and_o scarcity_n of_o money_n which_o equal_o affect_v other_o trade_n for_o that_o upon_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o coin_n our_o weaver_n good_n fall_v in_o their_o prize_n and_o their_o work_n fall_v off_o whilst_o at_o the_o same_o time_n east-india_n good_n be_v scarce_a grow_v dear_a and_o dear_a 9_o that_o at_o this_o present_a time_n at_o norwich_n they_o begin_v to_o have_v a_o brisk_a trade_n and_o their_o good_n be_v rise_v 10_o per_n cent._n late_o and_o in_o great_a demand_n notwithstanding_o the_o company_n late_a sale_n of_o silk_n which_o they_o complain_v of_o 10._o that_o though_o mercer_n bespeak_v good_n of_o the_o weaver_n the_o weaver_n will_v not_o make_v they_o but_o keep_v their_o man_n out_o of_o work_n that_o they_o may_v clamour_n for_o this_o bill_n 11._o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o silk-weaver_n that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o not_o the_o staple_n woollen-manufactury_a which_o this_o bill_n will_v rather_o lessen_v and_o obstruct_v than_o promote_v so_o that_o the_o clamour_n about_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v all_o out_o of_o door_n in_o this_o case_n for_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v many_o weaver_n of_o wool_n will_v turn_v to_o be_v silk-weaver_n as_o some_o already_o have_v 12._o that_o the_o weaver_n concern_v in_o this_o affair_n be_v nothing_o near_o so_o numerous_a as_o be_v pretend_v and_o that_o the_o linendrapers_n and_o other_o trade_n depend_v thereon_o who_o will_v be_v hurt_v by_o this_o prohibition_n be_v as_o numerous_n as_o those_o who_o will_v receive_v benefit_n by_o it_o 13._o that_o the_o indian_a wrought_v silk_n be_v very_o much_o improve_v here_o by_o a_o further_o manufacture_v and_o great_a number_n of_o our_o people_n employ_v therein_o 14._o that_o the_o poverty_n and_o misery_n among_o the_o weaver_n be_v very_o much_o misrepresent_v and_o that_o it_o be_v no_o great_a in_o proportion_n with_o they_o than_o among_o other_o sort_n of_o poor_a trade_n people_n 15._o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o master_n weaver_n have_v in_o few_o year_n last_o pass_v get_v great_a estate_n and_o continue_v to_o thrive_v well_o 16._o that_o if_o east-india_n silk_n be_v prohibit_v and_o not_o those_o from_o holland_n france_n and_o italy_n and_o other_o part_n we_o shall_v only_o wear_v the_o latter_a in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o former_a to_o the_o far_o great_a expense_n of_o the_o nation_n 17._o that_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v these_o good_n will_v be_v make_v and_o imitate_v in_o holland_n so_o like_a that_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a when_o sell_v here_o for_o the_o draper_n to_o prove_v they_o be_v not_o east-india_n good_n 18._o that_o great_a quantity_n of_o these_o good_n be_v sell_v for_o exportation_n to_o cadiz_n lisbon_n the_o canary_n mader_n as_o and_o other_o foreign_a part_n under_o the_o value_n of_o 50_o l._n 19_o that_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v for_o prohibit_v the_o sell_v and_o wear_v persian_a silk_n it_o be_v probable_a the_o persian_n will_v prohibit_v our_o manufacture_n which_o will_v not_o only_o affect_v the_o east-india_n but_o also_o the_o turkey_n trade_n 20._o that_o a_o ship_n late_o in_o china_n can_v not_o put_v off_o our_o manufacture_n without_o take_v their_o manufacture_n and_o that_o if_o this_o bill_n pass_v we_o shall_v probable_o lose_v the_o trade_n for_o saltpetre_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o trade_n to_o india_n i_o will_v not_o alter_v any_o thing_n from_o these_o article_n as_o they_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o offer_v to_o be_v prove_v only_o in_o the_o second_o after_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v add_v and_o other_o the_o product_n of_o england_n which_o be_v by_o oversight_n omit_v before_o but_o alter_v not_o the_o case_n for_o that_o tin_n lead_v and_o such_o like_a be_v as_o well_o a_o manufacture_n of_o england_n as_o woollen_a good_n and_o you_o have_v the_o article_n or_o such_o part_n of_o they_o as_o the_o friend_n of_o the_o bill_n in_o their_o print_a paper_n deny_v print_v in_o a_o italic_a letter_n to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o other_o article_n and_o such_o part_n of_o they_o as_o they_o allow_v and_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o i_o wish_v the_o lord_n or_o commons_o will_v be_v please_v now_o or_o hereafter_o to_o give_v a_o opportunity_n to_o have_v the_o whole_a matter_n public_o discuss_v before_o they_o and_o to_o have_v such_o thing_n inquire_v into_o as_o will_v give_v the_o best_a light_n to_o make_v a_o judgement_n thereof_o i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o it_o will_v plain_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v very_o wrong_a notion_n of_o trade_n that_o be_v advance_v in_o favour_n of_o this_o bill_n and_o that_o the_o east-india_n trade_n and_o particular_o this_o part_n of_o it_o be_v of_o very_o great_a advantage_n to_o this_o kingdom_n nay_o if_o our_o silk_n weaver_n shall_v have_v twice_o the_o work_n they_o have_v usual_o have_v they_o will_v increase_v soon_o to_o twice_o the_o number_n which_o will_v not_o only_o as_o be_v say_v before_o draw_v they_o from_o
