Whether it would not be as great a renown to His Majesty, if the Trade
of Clothing was recovered to its height, as it was to King _Edward_ the
Third, of Famous Memory, by whose Providence, and Industry it was first
brought into _England_, which hath been so exceedingly advantagious to
this Kingdome, for many years, and doubtless might be revived, to as
great a strength as ever; if such things were consulted and practiced,
which might be the proper and effectual means, conducible thereunto;
and the people of the Kingdome brought to a ready observation, of the
Lawes of the Land, which would turn to his Majesties great advantage in
his Customes, &c. and put all his Subjects in general into a capacity
of paying their Taxes willingly, according as his Majesty should have
occasion, the Springs of Trade then being open and running, would bring
in supplies to all people.

Whether it would not be necessary that all those Laws not yet Repealed,
relating to the furtherance of Trade, and promiscuously scattered in
the Law Books, ought not to be revived, and re-Printed in one Volume,
that so all people might readily know those Laws, and be by Authority
strictly commanded the observance of the same, with incouragements to
the obedient, and punishments to the disobedient.
[Sidenote: _Quære 17._]
In case any Laws be wanting, or are not full enough, against the
Transportation of our Prohibited goods, or the Importation of Forreign
Prohibited goods, as new sorts of Stuffs, that may be made beyond Sea,
or any thing elce, that is not perticularly provided against, whether
it may not be very necessary to have such a defect supplyed.
[Sidenote: _Quære 16._]
Whether there ought not to be a Statute for the regulation or well
making of such Staffs, _&c._ which were not used in former times, that
so all deceits in work may be avoided, which if done, would doubtless
very much advance the credit of the _English_ goods, and greatly
further the sale of them at a Forreign Market.
