but_o here_o my_o opponent_n may_v perhaps_o say_v that_o after_o all_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o there_o be_v a_o surplus_n of_o wool_n which_o can_v be_v wrought_v up_o by_o the_o clothier_n and_o that_o i_o offer_v '_o not_o one_o word_n how_o it_o shall_v for_o the_o future_a be_v dispose_v of_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o appear_v not_o by_o any_o thing_n which_o my_o opponent_n have_v hitherto_o say_v at_o least_o not_o by_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v hitherto_o prove_v that_o the_o clothier_n either_o can_v or_o do_v not_o work_v up_o the_o wool_n of_o the_o proper_a growth_n of_o england_n to_o the_o full_a of_o it_o but_o if_o a_o far_o great_a quantity_n of_o wool_n be_v bring_v into_o england_n from_o ireland_n then_o ever_o before_o be_v bring_v until_o of_o late_a year_n as_o the_o clothier_n can_v be_v responsible_a for_o his_o not_o buy_v up_o all_o the_o wool_n which_o be_v send_v into_o england_n so_o neither_o can_v he_o or_o aught_o he_o to_o be_v responsible_a for_o the_o glut_n proceed_v from_o the_o importation_n of_o it_o or_o for_o the_o cheapness_n of_o the_o say_a wool_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o say_v glut_v second_o if_o the_o proper_a and_o only_a way_n for_o remove_v all_o evil_a effect_n be_v to_o remove_v their_o respective_a cause_n and_o that_o this_o be_v and_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v by_o all_o rational_a person_n then_o consider_v what_o we_o have_v say_v before_o and_o not_o only_o say_v but_o prove_v and_o make_v it_o to_o appear_v viz._n that_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o surplus_n of_o wool_n with_o the_o cheapness_n of_o it_o at_o present_a among_o we_o be_v partly_o from_o the_o irish_a act_n that_o prohibit_v the_o bring_n in_o of_o live_a cattle_n and_o put_v that_o kingdom_n upon_o the_o breed_n of_o wool_n whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o and_o partly_o by_o the_o decay_n of_o our_o manufacture_n through_o the_o supply_n that_o we_o our_o self_n do_v make_v to_o our_o neighbour_n of_o our_o own_o wool_n for_o the_o promote_a of_o their_o manufacture_n to_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o self_n the_o proper_a remedy_n then_o for_o the_o remove_n the_o cheapness_n of_o our_o wool_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o for_o employ_v our_o poor_a and_o recover_v our_o trade_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n must_v necessary_o be_v the_o stop_v the_o excessive_a growth_n of_o it_o in_o ireland_n and_o as_o strict_o stop_v and_o restrein_v the_o export_n of_o it_o from_o ireland_n and_o from_o hence_o and_o here_o i_o must_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o say_v again_o what_o i_o have_v in_o part_n say_v already_o in_o my_o second_o argument_n viz._n that_o where_o a_o nation_n be_v not_o rich_a in_o mine_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n it_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v enrich_v by_o any_o other_o way_n then_o by_o its_o manufacture_n and_o consequent_o if_o it_o be_v from_o our_o manufacture_n alone_o that_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o nation_n come_v and_o if_o it_o be_v from_o our_o manufacture_n chief_o that_o our_o ship_n be_v employ_v and_o our_o mariner_n breed_v if_o it_o be_v from_o our_o trade_n alone_o and_o from_o the_o riches_n which_o our_o trade_n bring_v in_o that_o his_o majesty_n custom_n be_v raise_v and_o that_o our_o fleet_n have_v be_v hitherto_o build_v and_o maintain_v and_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o sea_n have_v be_v preserve_v than_o it_o be_v must_v be_v from_o our_o manufacture_n only_o that_o our_o bullion_n have_v be_v bring_v in_o and_o that_o the_o rent_n of_o our_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n do_v depend_v and_o be_v sustain_v and_o therefore_o if_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v i_o that_o there_o be_v no_o high_a interest_n in_o the_o nation_n then_o that_o which_o preserve_v his_o majesty_n custom_n and_o that_o which_o sustain_v the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n rent_n and_o that_o which_o support_v our_o navy_n and_o ship_n then_o in_o regard_n our_o manufacture_n alone_o do_v do_v all_o this_o our_o manufacture_n alone_o and_o the_o encouragement_n of_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v the_o great_a interest_n of_o the_o nation_n itself_o and_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o whoever_o place_v it_o in_o any_o thing_n else_o as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o nation_n stand_v at_o present_a must_v either_o mistake_v the_o interest_n of_o this_o nation_n or_o can_v be_v no_o

rather_o than_o the_o whole_a nation_n which_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v a_o solid_a and_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o my_o opponent_n as_o to_o this_o part_n of_o his_o objection_n suppose_v also_o that_o our_o manufacture_n and_o the_o encourage_n of_o it_o be_v the_o main_a and_o chief_a if_o not_o the_o sole_a and_o only_a interest_n of_o this_o nation_n then_o as_o no_o interest_n beside_o can_v or_o aught_o in_o reason_n to_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o it_o so_o much_o less_o the_o irish_a act_n without_o the_o repeal_n of_o which_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v simple_o impossible_a that_o either_o our_o manufacture_n or_o that_o the_o trade_n or_o navigation_n of_o this_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v preserve_v for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o make_v a_o law_n that_o they_o must_v strave_n in_o ireland_n there_o can_v be_v reason_n to_o forbid_v their_o breed_n of_o sheep_n if_o we_o will_v not_o let_v they_o employ_v their_o land_n in_o the_o breed_n of_o live_a cattle_n admit_v also_o that_o the_o pasture_n land_n of_o ireland_n be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o that_o kingdom_n far_o large_a than_o the_o pasture_n land_n of_o england_n as_o they_o be_v and_o must_v necessary_o be_v partly_o through_o the_o smallness_n of_o their_o tillage_n their_o corn_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v export_v and_o partly_o through_o the_o

such_o as_o must_v equal_v if_o not_o exceed_v the_o quantity_n breed_v in_o england_n by_o our_o self_n wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v plain_a to_o every_o person_n that_o not_o only_o the_o

all_o other_o whatever_o that_o have_v a_o concern_v in_o ireland_n which_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o prevent_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v allow_v to_o none_o beside_o ourselves_o who_o whole_a

be_v but_o two_o way_n either_o to_o send_v it_o be_v where_o it_o most_o want_v and_o where_o it_o will_v yield_v the_o best_a price_n which_o be_v to_o our_o neighbour_n to_o improve_v and_o

i_o think_v it_o will_v be_v very_o impertinent_a to_o insist_v upon_o lesser_a argument_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o will_v be_v for_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nation_n great_o to_o arrest_v
