The CASE of the Merchants & Clothiers of this Kingdom , And all others concerned , in the Free Exportation of the Woollen Manufacture of ENGLAND To Holland , Flanders , Brabant and Germany .

BY an Act , made in the first Year of Their Majesties Reign , entituled , An Act for the better preventing the Exportation of Wool , and encouraging the Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom , it is for the better Encouragement of the Manufacture , as well as the Growth of Wool , enacted ; that from thenceforward it should and might be lawful to and for any Person or Persons whatsoever to Buy any Cloth , Stuffs , Stockins , or other Manufacture of Wool , made in the Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , or the Town of Berwick upon Tweed : and the same freely , without any Molestation or Trouble whatsoever , to Export into any Parts beyond the Seas , paying the usual Customs .

Which Act passed the Royal Assent the Twentieth Day of August , 1689. and was to continue for three Years , and from thence to the End of the next Session of Parliament , which is this present Session .

Since the making of which Act there hath been Exported to Holland , Flanders , Brabant and Germany far greater Quantities of the Woollen Manufacture of England , notwithstanding the Obstruction of Commerce , by reason of the present War , than was exported before , when the Trade was limited to the Members of the Hamborough Company only , as by the Entries in the Books of Their Majesties Customs plainly appears : By which Increase of the Woollen Manufacture exported , Their Majesties Customs , and the Price of Wool , hath been considerably advanced , so that the Continuance of the said Free Trade will be very beneficial to Their Majesties and their Subjects ; whereas if the Trade in the Woollen Manufacture be restrained , it will be very prejudicial , not only to the Merchants and Clothiers of this Kingdom , but to all other Persons , whose Commodities they Use and Consume .

It is the Interest of this Nation to invite all Persons to Buy and Export the Woollen Manufacture of England , for that a Pound of Wool , when wrought , yield then times the Value of the Wool , there being many Thousand Families maintained thereby , and several Trades that depend wholly on the Woollen Trade , viz. the Washer , Shearer , Picker , Comber , Karder , Reeler , Warper , Spinner , Knitter , Weaver , Clothworker , Tucker , Fuller , Drawer , Napper , Kalenderer , Dyer , Setter and Packer , besides several other Trades , whose Commodities they consume , as the Makers of Wyer , Cardmakers , &c.

It is therefore humbly hoped , That Leave will be given to bring in a Bill for the Continuance of the said Free Trade in the Woollen Manufacture of England to Holland , Flanders , Brabant and Germany ; and that the said Bill may be past into an Act of Parliament .

The CASE of the Merchants and Clothiers OF ENGLAND .
