I shall now give a brief description of several Springs, that fill our Kingdome with Prohibited goods, and of several Leaks, that empty the Kingdome of other sorts of our goods, which are prohibited to be Exported out of the Nation: As our Wooll, and Fullers Earth, formerly spoke to, which are by stealth carryed out of the Kingdome, to the great damage and prejudice of the Nation, and many Forreign Prohibited goods, are brought in among us, to the great injury, and undoing of many Tradesmen; as Silk and Ribbon Weavers, and other Artificers in and about _London_, and several parts of the Kingdome, which occasions the great decay and loss of our own Manufacture, with the loss of the imployment of the Poor, to the ruine of many thousands, of men women and children, that have had their dependance, cheifly, if not only, on those Merchandises, which are dayly Imported from _France_, _Flanders_, and other Sea-ports, secretly into this our Kingdome. [Sidenote: _Wooll Shipped off._] There are many of our Sea-Port Towns, and several Creeks, and holes along the South-shore of _England_, besides _Dover_, _Rumney Fairlee_, _Hastings_, _Poleston_, _Rye_, _Bredhempston_, _&c._ where these things are practised; and indeed in the Summer time, when it is fair weather, goods may be Landed on the Shoar, and Shipped off from the Shoar, on Vessels all along the Coast, almost from _Dover_ to the Lands end, in _Cornwal_; and many times there are both brought ashore, and carried off such Goods as are Prohibited both wayes, both for coming into the Land, and carrying out of the Land, and this done in a fair night, and the goods brought in, lye sheltred in Countreymens houses, which can hide and secure them till there be a convenient opportunity to dispose otherwise of them with safety, and these Countreymen help them to Horses, to carry them to _London_ or other Markets. Neither do I here mention any thing of the North-Coast, because I have hitherto been altogether unacquainted with those parts, although I have reason to beleive, that the same Smuggling Trade is also practised in those quarters, for their Coast lying over against _Holland_, doubtless the people there are as ready to comply privately, in forbidden tradeing with the _Dutch_, as along the South-Coast, they are with the _French_, notwithstanding there is sufficient Provision made, in our Lawes against such sinister and evil Practices: But about _Kent_ and _Sussex_, are most frequently imported Prohibited goods from _France_ and _Flanders_, and they are goods of such value, that a single Horseman may carry five, or six hundred pounds worth about him, and yet it shall hardly be known that he hath any thing with him.
