For the Encouragement of the Consumption of the Woollen Manufacture of this Kingdom , It is Humbly proposed to the Consideration of the Parliament , now Assembled ; That a Clause be added to the Bill depending , for Encouragement of the Woollen Manufacture , to Prohibit the making and Vending of Cane Chairs , Stools , and Couches , for the future . And for Reasons ; are Humbly offered ,

1. THat before the abovesaid Chairs , Stools , and Couches , were generally made and used ; there were yearly made and Vended in this Kingdom above five thousand dozen of Set-work , ( commonly called Turky-work Chairs , though made in England , ) and above twenty thousand dozen of Cloth , Serge , Perpetuanoes , Chamlets , Bays , Kersies , Norwich Cheniis , and Kidderminster-Prints , in the Cases and Coverings ; whereof was spent above three thousand Packs of Wool ; which Wool employs at least thirty thousand poor People .

II . To fit these up for Sale there was expended , above Forty thousand pound sterling of Silk Fringe , which Silk is the Product of our own Cloth Exported .

III . To perfect these for use , there was also expended great quantities of Nailes , Girt-web , Sack-cloth , Worsted Fringe , Flax , Hemp , Hair , all of our own Growth and Manufacture ; and worth many thousand of pounds , by which some thousands more of His Majesties Subjects gained their Subsistance .

IV . Great Quantities of these Chairs were Vended and sent yearly beyond the Seas .

But since Cane Chairs , Stools , and Couches , which generally the Frames are made of French Walnut , and the Seats of Indian Canes , are become so much in use ; the Consumption of Wool the Growth of this Kingdom , Silk and Russia Leather , which is the Product of Wool , is greatly decreased ; and above 50000 of His Majesties Subjects formerly Employed in the Manufactury thereof , have lost their Emyloyments , to the Ruine of them and there numerous Families .

Wherefore it is most humbly prayed , That such a Clause as is abovewritten , may be added to the Bill aforesaid ; Nevertheless all is submitted to the Wise determination of both Houses of Parliament .
