Wooll being the cheife Comoditie of this Kingdome , Jt is thought good for this Common weale , to aduance it to the highest rate that Conueniently it may bee .

FIrst by making ample way to disperse it into the hands of al sorts of manifactors within this lande , that no hand may be idle for want of worke , & that euery sort of Woll may be put to that vse for which it is most fitt ,

When it is conuerted then to make the way for the vent of Cloth & all stuffs made of Woll , as large without Confining it to so few hands , which may either , of themselues , or by others , be restrained to priuate ends against the publique proffitt .

First by making an act for free trade , that so euery one of his Maiesties subiects beeing able & willing , to be a Merchant , may haue free libertie to put his hand to so good a worke .

By restoring the power of the Merchants of the Staple , who haue heretofore shipped cloth into those parts beyond the Seas ; where they had trade for Woolls , vntill of late they haue bene interrupted by such meanes as the Merchants Aduenturers haue procured , notwithstanding that the said Merchants haue an especiall prouiso , in their Pattent , that nothing therein Contained should hinder the Merchants of the Staple from vsing any trade or libertie that formerlie they might haue done .

This will make the Staplers more forward and confident to buy Wooll , when they haue power in their owne hands to make the best of the Cloth :

And if the State thinke it fit that all sorts of Merchants , may buy Wooll as free as the Staplers , it may also be thought as fit and as good for the Common weale , that the Staplers may Shipp all Woollen Comodities as free as other Merchants .

By dealing with all Companies and Corporations according to that famous president in 12. of Henry 7. where it appeareth that the Merchants Aduenturers being then newly Incorporate , did appropriate trade to much to themselues , which made the Common weale complaine of them , and the remedie is there set downe ( viz )

That any of his Maiesties liege people should be free to trade with them paying only Ten Markes for their Admittance .

This will preuent Practizes , Combinations , and Limitations of Merchants in their trades . And it will cut off all priuate impositions taxed by any one Companie : When it shall be lawfull for others freely to Shipp the same Comodities , and not be subiect to the foresaide taxes .
