not_o allow_v that_o be_v assign_v for_o a_o general_n cause_n which_o be_v but_o one_o among_o many_o and_o that_o a_o very_a small_a one_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o abate_v the_o price_n of_o

say_a argument_n do_v whole_o depend_v upon_o a_o supposition_n which_o be_v no_o way_n fit_a to_o be_v grant_v viz._n as_o if_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o merchant_n mariner_z and_o artisicer_n be_v not_o only_o opposite_a to_o but_o whole_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o farmer_n whereas_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o evident_a than_o the_o contrary_a so_o that_o the_o whole_a argument_n itself_o fall_v for_o want_n of_o a_o foundation_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o which_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v defend_v ourselves_o as_o a_o island_n otherwise_o than_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o our_o ship_n and_o see_v this_o be_v much_o less_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v now_o at_o such_o a_o juncture_n of_o time_n when_o our_o near_a neighbour_n do_v partly_o out_o of_o fear_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o emulation_n multyp_o ship_n upon_o we_o and_o use_v all_o endeavour_n that_o be_v possible_a to_o gain_v the_o dominion_n of_o the_o sea_n from_o we_o it_o be_v hence_o clear_a that_o we_o must_v either_o say_v that_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o farmer_n be_v not_o the_o

and_o ship_n of_o this_o country_n and_o consequent_o to_o uphold_v the_o merchant_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o that_o understand_v trade_n do_v well_o know_v that_o all_o the_o commerce_n of_o this_o nation_n do_v for_o the_o value_n and_o bulk_n of_o it_o entire_o depend_v upon_o the_o woollen-manufacture_n consequent_o it_o must_v be_v the_o interest_n of_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n

for_o without_o so_o much_o as_o meddle_v with_o that_o of_o the_o clothing-trade_n it_o must_v avoidable_o follow_v that_o if_o our_o manufacture_n shall_v be_v total_o lose_v as_o there_o will_v
