Whether it is convenient that our Manufactures of Cloth and Stuffs, should be allowed to be transported out of the Land white (or undied) because it is a very common practice of the _Dutch_ and _English_ too, so to do, and then they Dye them and Dress them in _Holland_, by the which they set many people on work, and all that imployment is lost to _England_: but this is not all, for the Dutch do so handle the matter, as that they mak our own goods more acceptable and saleable in Forreign Countries, than we usually do, with the same sort of goods which we Dy in _England_, to the great profit and credit of the _Dutch_ abroad among strangers, and to the great loss and dammage of _England_, besides the disreputation by that means to _England_, yea many times the same goods that were carryed over to _Holland_ white, are returned to us again, when the _Dutch_ have Dyed them and dressed them, and then they are esteemed the best Colours, and therefore most vendible among us. [Sidenote: _Quære 19._] Whether it would not be very conducible to the publique good, that those perticuler Statutes should be put into effectual Execution, which do positively appoint, that all Merchants Forreigners, Tradeing into _England_ with Commodities of their own Countrey growth, and vending them here, should lay out their money again in our English Manufactures, and not be permitted to carry money out of the Land, directly nor indirectly; but lay it out in the goods, and wares of _England_ (their necessary expences excepted) according to the true intent and meaning of the said Statute. [Sidenote: _Quere 20._] Whether it be not worthy to be taken into consideration, concerning the fineness and weight of our English Coin, above and beyond the Coin of our neighbouring Nations, and whether that be not the cause of its Exportation out of the Land; a broad twenty shillings peice of Gold, being worth in _France_, _Flanders_, and _Holland_, twenty seven shillings, and a Crown piece of silver worth six shillings; so that I suppose we may cease wondring, what is become of the money of the Kingdome, considering it is such profit to the Merchant to transport it beyond Sea. [Sidenote: _Quære 21._] Whether it would not very much increase Trading, and be highly advantageous to the King’s Majesty, to have money plentiful in the Land, and greatly benefit the Common-Weale, if money in _England_ was in some measure made sutable or equal, to the weight and fineness of money in other Lands, and whether this would not be a great means of bringing in money from other Lands, and then keep it in the Kingdome being brought in; by such means the King would be sure to have a speedy supply on all demands, for his occasions; and it is granted on all hands, that good Treasures of Money are the principal Sinews of War.
