3. As it hath received equal Advantages with the other Plantations from the Expence _England_ hath been at in carrying on Wars Abroad and Revolutions at Home; And on this last there is greater Reason against _Ireland_ than any of the rest, we having lately paid more Money for the Purchase of that Trade than the Profits thereof may bring to us and our Posterities for many Generations; so that 'twould be a piece of great Ingratitude for the Free-holders of _Ireland_ unwillingly to submit to any thing whereby the Interest of _England_ may be advanced, to the Inhabitants whereof they are indebted for their Lands, who have laid down their Lives and spent their Treasures to reinstate them in their Possessions. As for Corn, Fish, and Horses, whither a Liberty may not be allowed to transport them thence direct for other Markets on Ships first entring here in _England_ is a point worth serious Consideration. But the main objection as to _England_ is yet behind, a great part of the Gentlemen of this Kingdom thinking it will sink the Rents of their Lands if _Irish_ Cattle are admitted to be brought over alive, others that the Importation of Provisions thence will fall the Price of our own; and though in the former they do not so generally agree, differing according as their Lands are Scituated, and proper for Breeding or Feeding, yet in the latter they more unanimously consent, and cry out, _This is the great Diana of the Ephesians_, the less Provisions are brought in, the more our own will be expended, whereas if they did impartially consider, they would find it an empty _Idol_; Nothing will advance their Lands like Trade and Manufactures, therefore what-ever turns the Stream of these elsewhere lessens the Number of Inhabitants who should consume their Provisions, and when those increase so do the others, which (besides a home consumption by People engaged in Imployments distinct from Husbandry) doth always invite many Foreigners hither, who being Temporary Residents spend our Product, it being a sure Maxim that _where the Carcass is there will the Eagles be gathered together_.
