THE CASE OF THE Manufacturers of Grograin Yarn .

THAT since the Settlement of Manufacturing Raw Silk and Grograin Yarn in England , great Multitudes of People have Increased and been Maintain'd , the Productions of our Lands Expended , and Navigation improved by the Exportation of our Wooll fully Manufactured to Turky , Italy , and again return'd in the aforesaid Raw Silk and Grograin Yarn .

That 't is apparent the great Preference lately and now given to Foreign Wrought Silks and Stuffs , hath Ruined most , and so discouraged all the Silk-Weavers and Throwsters ; for that the Mercers of London and Westminster , finding the Fond Humours of the Female Sex will not be pleased or contented without them , though at double the true Value thereof ; and unless they purchase them , though at those Rates , the Drapers will deprive them of their Trades , bend all their Care , Estates and Credits to Trade therein , and the English Weavers and Throwsters are thereby Undone and Ruined .

That these Manufacturers of London , for some time past , could find no Ways to preserve their Poor from Starving , but by interfering with the Trade of Norwich , and other Woollen Manufacturers , except in that Branch of Grograin Yarn , which alwayes was , and chiefly is , the principal Return of our Coarse English Wooll-Cloths fully Manufactured , and by Winding , Doubling , Twisting , Weaving , Dying , Dressing , and Callendering thereof , doth give vast Imployment to multitudes both of Men , Women and Children ; as hath been made plainly appear before this Honourable House , and shall again , if required .

That he which wears a Hair-Camblet Cloak or Coat , Hair-Prunelloe or Camblet Gown , Advanceth the great Interest of England in the Consumption of our own Wooll , with all the Advantage of its several Manufacturies , and the like in the Return of Raw Grograin Yarn , as aforesaid ; whereas he that wears a Cloak , Sute , or Coat , or pleads in a Gown of above Fourteen Shillings per Yard , bought in Blackwell-Hall , Consumes not One Dram of English Wooll .

Therefore 't is Humbly Hoped this Honourable House will not Prohibit the Wearing of Hair Stuffs , in regard the Manufacturers thereof have no other Branch of the Weaving Trade to Imploy themselves for their Support and Livelyhood .
