REASONS Humbly Offered for Taking Off THE ADDITIONAL DUTY , laid on East - Country Linnen , by the last Act of Parliament .

I. THAT since the making the said Act , the Importation of Spruce Canvas hath not amounted to one half of what it was the last year , and several Years before . And that most of that Imported last Year , was bought before the said Act was made .

II . That the Duty now demanded and taken by vertue of the said Act , amounts to above 40 per cent . on the Costs ; and is so heavy a Duty , that the said Canvas ( being a Course Commodity ) cannot bear the same , which ( if continued ) will amount to a total Prohibition thereof .

III . That this Duty instead of augmenting the Kings Revenue , will diminish it , in as much as the Ballance of what the advance of the Duty will be , will not countervail by far what their Majesties will loose by the shortness of the Goods Imported .

IV . That it will so discourage Trade , that it will in a great measure loose the Exportation of the English Woollen Manufactures to Dantzick , to which place we send more than to all the places in the Baltick Sea besides , the Returns of which are chiefly in this sort of Canvas .

V. That it may be justly feared that the Dantzickers observing that we Buy none of their Canvas , will lay heavy Duties on Our Woollen Manufactures Exported thither .
