<HEAD>FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE <HI>Woollen Manufacture</HI> OF ENGLAND.</HEAD>
<P>VVHEREAS, Till within few Years la&s;t pa&s;t, there hath been a very great Con|&s;umption of <HI>Wool</HI> u&s;ed in making of Set-work Cu&s;hions for Chairs, Couches, Carpets called Turky-work made in <HI>York-&s;hire;</HI> Great quantities of Cloth Serges, Perpetuanoes, Ker&s;eys, Camblets, Nor|wich Chenys, Bays, Kiddermin&s;ter prints, Says and Cottons, and all other Commodities of the Woollen Manufacture: As al&s;o many Bales of Silk wrought up into Fringes for Chairs, and divers bales of <HI>Ru&s;&s;ia</HI> Lea|ther wrought up into Chairs, which is the product of our Cloth from <HI>Turkey</HI> and <HI>Ru&s;&s;ia,</HI> whereby many Thou&s;and Families have been Employed and maintain|ed. All which Manufactures have been generally laid a&s;ide and little made u&s;e of, to the ruine of many Families.</P>
<Q>It is therefore Humbly Prayed that this Honourable Hou&s;e will ac|cording to their great Wi&s;dom provide, That all <HI>Couches</HI> and <HI>Squobs</HI> under the value of four pounds, and all Chairs and Stools under the value of Twenty &s;hillings a piece, (except &s;uch as are made of <HI>Leather)</HI> may not be Backt, Bottomed, Covered, Ca&s;ed, or made with any thing but what is of the Woollen Manufacture or the Growth of <HI>England.</HI></Q>
