A58265	Reasons humbly offered to the High Court of Parliament for an additional supply of wooll for the islands of Guernezey, Jersey, Alderney and Serk		1680 (1680)	Wing R557A; ESTC R5877	694	1

reason_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o high_a court_n for_o parliament_n for_o a_o additional_a supply_v of_o wool_n for_o the_o island_n of_o guernezey_n jersey_n alderney_n and_o serk_n whereas_o by_o a_o act_n of_o 12_o car._n 2._o entitle_v a_o act_n for_o prohibit_v the_o transportation_n of_o wool_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v liberty_n give_v to_o transport_v from_o southampton_n certain_a quantity_n of_o wool_n to_o the_o say_a island_n viz._n to_o guernezey_n 1000_o tod_n to_o jersey_n 2000_o tod_n to_o alderney_n 200_o tod_n and_o to_o serk_v 100_o tod_n but_o since_o the_o make_n of_o that_o act_n the_o inhabitant_n and_o the_o manufacture_n of_o stocking_n be_v very_o much_o increase_v double_a that_o quantity_n will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o carry_v on_o the_o say_a manufacture_n by_o which_o alone_o the_o aforesaid_a inhabitant_n do_v subsist_v therefore_o it_o be_v humble_o desire_v that_o to_o the_o act_n which_o be_v now_o pass_v a_o clause_n may_v be_v insert_v to_o increase_v the_o number_n of_o tod_n to_o be_v transport_v to_o the_o say_a island_n which_o be_v conceive_v may_v be_v fit_a to_o be_v grant_v for_o the_o follow_a reason_n 1._o a_o further_a supply_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v necessary_a if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o sole_a isle_n of_o guernezey_n at_o least_o 4000_o knitter_n who_o make_v 4000_o pair_n of_o stocking_n a_o week_n do_v thereby_o weekly_a manufacture_n about_o 60_o tod_n of_o wool_n and_o consequent_o above_o 3000_o tod_n in_o the_o year_n which_o be_v so_o and_o the_o parliament_n take_v now_o effectual_a care_n for_o prevent_v the_o transportation_n of_o wool_n into_o france_n from_o whence_o the_o say_v inhabitant_n be_v necessitate_v to_o supply_v themselves_o with_o english_a wool_n without_o which_o they_o can_v possible_o work_v there_o stocking_n it_o be_v from_o thence_o evident_a that_o unless_o some_o great_a quantity_n be_v now_o allow_v they_o out_o of_o this_o kingdom_n more_o than_o half_a of_o the_o say_a knitter_n will_v remain_v idle_a and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o subsist_v must_v either_o starve_v or_o be_v a_o unsupportable_a burden_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o islander_n 2._o the_o king_n service_n do_v require_v it_o for_o otherwise_o the_o king_n must_v be_v at_o extraordinary_a charge_n to_o preserve_v those_o island_n if_o through_o want_n of_o what_o be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o their_o subsistance_n the_o inhabitant_n shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o extremity_n of_o want_n and_o misery_n which_o must_v render_v they_o incapable_a of_o make_v any_o defence_n against_o the_o public_a enemy_n
