_Adrian Van Arde_, sworn Measurer of all the Earth and Clay imported to _Rotterdam_, was examined by vertue of the said Commission, and Deposed, That for many Years which he had been in that Office, he never knew or heard of any _English_ Fullers-Earth imported into _Holland_, that they were so plentifully supplied with that sort of Earth from _Flanders_; that it is commonly bought and sold at Seven Guilders a Last, and had an Hundred Last by him to sell at the same Rate. Ten or Twelve Potters in _Holland_ were likewise examined by virtue of the said Commission, and deposed severally, That they had bought considerable quantities of the said _Warner’s_ clay of Mr. _Benj. Furly_, and paid for the same from 25 to 30 Guilders a Last; that they used the same in making Earthen-Ware, but do not believe it any way useful for the Fulling Trade, nor never heard that any of it was ever sold for that use. Colonel _Holt_, a Member of Parliament, swore, That he (being very lately in _Holland_) made the strictest inquiries into the Truth of this Business, that he could, First amongst the Potters, who all declared to the same Effect, as in their Depositions before mentioned, that he likewise took some of the said _Warner’s_ Clay, and got a Fuller to try it, whether it were any way useful for their Trade, who answered it was not? nor could he use it if he might have it for Nothing; after which the Colonel ask’d him, From whence they were supplied with Fullers-Earth, and at what Rates? The Fullers answered, generally from _Flanders_ at 6½, and 7 Guilders _per_ Last; and sometimes from _Rosendale_, in the _States_ Dominions, at 10 Guilders _per_ Last; that being much dryer, and wasted less by lying; all which the Colonel (being unwilling to believe upon the Fuller’s bare word) caused to be drawn up in the Form of an Affidavit, and the Fuller before a Magistrate, swore to the Truth of it, which Affidavit the Colonel hath to produce. Mr. _Edward Paget_, a Divine, swore, That he being in _Holland_ at the same time, made the like Enquiry amongst the Fullers at _Layden_, the chief cloathing Town in _Holland_, who all gave him the same Information, that the Fuller at Rotterdam had done the Colonel above; and for his better satisfaction, Three of the Chiefest went with him before a Magistrate, and swore to the Truth of what they Affirmed; after which he went to _Delft_ amongst the Potters, who all affirmed the same thing, that the Ten or Twelve had sworn in their aforementioned Depositions, the Truth of which they attested by a Certificate, under the Hands of above Twenty, which Affidavits, and Certificate, the said _Paget_ hath to produce.
