And first to begin with _Sheeps Wool_, whereof either by it self or mixt with _Silk_ or _Linnen_ we make various sorts of pretty things fit for all Climates, and proper for the wearing of both Sexes, wherein the Invention and Imitation of our Workmen is so great that they have no _Idea_ represented or _Pattern_ set before them that is not soon out done; from a strong heavy Cloath fit to keep out cold in Winter they turn their Hands to a fine thin sort which will scarse keep warm in Summer, _Ladies_ may now wear Gowns thereof so light that they can hardly know they have them on; from hence they fell on _Perpets_, _Serges_, _Crapes_, _Stuffs_, _Says_, _Rattoons_, _Gauzes_, _Anthrines_, and many other sorts fit both for outward Garments and inward Linings, of various Colors Stripes and Flowers, some of them so fine and pleasant scarse to be known from _Silk_; besides those multitudes of courser Clothes for the Poor, also _Rugs_, _Blankets_, and all Furniture for Houses, and such a Progress have they made in this sort of Manufactures, that a Man may have his Picture wrought in _Tapestry_ with the same exactness both for Life and Colors as if drawn with a curious Pencil; for this I refer the Reader to those _Hangings_ at the _Custom-House_ in _London_, where he may see the several Officers so lively represented in their Stations, that want of Motion seems to be the only thing which differs them from their Originals; One Workman endeavouring to exceed another they make things to answer all the ends of _Silks_, _Calicoes_, and _Linnen_, of bare Sheeps Wool, which if they were by Fashion brought into wearing would then be thought as handsom; fine _Flannel_ for Shirts; white _Crape_ for Neckclothes, Cuffs, and Head-Dresses; besides the pretty Laces, whereof we see various sorts used about the Dead; and _Caduce_ of several Colours in imitation of _Ribbons_; also Hats, Stockings, and many such things are made of _Wool_ and other Mixtures, both worn at home and Exported abroad. [Sidenote: Cotton Wool.] The next Material for our Manufactures is _Cotton-Wool_, which is now become a great Imployment for the Poor, and so adds to the Wealth of the Nation; this being curiously pickt and spun makes _Dimities_, _Tapes_, _Stockings_, _Gloves_, besides several things wove fit for use, as _Petticoats_, _wastcoats_, and _Drawers_, of different Fancies and Stripes, and I doubt not our Workmen would exceed the _East Indies_ for _Calicoes_ had they Incouragment; with all which we supply Forreign Markets besides the Consumption at home. [Sidenote: Hemp and Flax.]
