A PROPOSAL

FOR raising the annual Sum of 520000l , and not touch the prime Cost of wrought Goods above one Farthing in the Shilling , nor be at any more Charge than two Pence in the Pound collecting .

IN order to raise this Sum , I humbly propose , that every Master Weaver or Undertaker for Merchants in this Kingdom , do pay one Shilling per Week for every Loom employ'd by him ; and it is allowed by the Weaver's Company in London , that there is an hundred Thousand working Looms within the Weekly Bills ; and consequently all the Counties of England will produce an hundred Thousand more :

The which 200000 working Looms At 52 Shillings per Year each Loom , Will produce Yearly 520000l .

THAT this Sum does not touch the prime Cost of Goods above one Farthing in the Shilling is evident , because every Loom doth bring off as much Work in a Week as sells for 48 Shillings .

THE which is most humbly offered to the Consideration of the Honourable House of COMMONS ,

By Samuel Myhill , Weaver , at the Sun in Spittle-Fields-Market , who is also ready ( if need be ) to shew a short and easy Way of collecting the same at two Pence per Pound Charge , with prevention of Frauds and not troublesome to the Trader .
