For Remedy whereof it is humbly Proposed ,

THAT no Weaver shall have above a Certain Number of Apprentices at any one time .

THAT all Apprentices be Bound at Weavers-Hall in the said City : And none Bound for less than Seven Years .

By which means the present Legal Workmen will be Preserved and Incouraged in their Trades ; the Extravagant Increase of Weavers in the said City and Limits , Restrained ; the Manufactures and Manufacturers , in the remoter Parts of this Kingdom , Incouraged and Preserved from Ruine .

All which is humbly submitted to Consideration .
