A34896	Carter, W. (William)	The usurpations of France upon the trade of the woollen manufacture of England briefly hinted at, being the effects of thirty years observations, by which that King hath been enabled to wage war with so great a part of Europe, or, A caution to England to improve a season now put into her hand, to secure her self by William Carter.	1695.0		.xml	application/xml	14842	203	22	I may without offence add , that the Season of this Address was such , that his Majesty was then , in a quarter of an hour after we came forth from his Presence , visited by Father Peter , Sir Edward Hales , and Sir John Gage , that came to intercede for three persons then Prosecuted for Exporting of Wool to France , one of which was the then Mayor of Galloway , who confest a Judgment of 22000 l. and the Earl of Tyrconel wrote in his behalf , but the said King rejected the Motion ; but the Matter was again endeavour'd at the Treary , which I still watched , and put in Caveats , and prevented the design of his Discharge . The Consideration of these Things , hath all along prompted me ( as an English Man ) to use the utmost of my Endeavours in the Post I have stood in for so many years , to prevent the Designs of France on England , that those Things threatnea may be prevented , otherwise I had not appeared in Print at this Time , being rather enclined to be more Retire , especially when I Reflect upon the Discouragement and Difficulties I have met withal in my former Vndertaking ; of which I have given a short Account in the close of this Discourse , but more at large in another , written by me sometime since , for the clearing my self of some Malicious Imputations suggested against me in my said former Vndertakings ; nor did I however intend to be named in this Paper , when I put it to the Press ; but finding my Name made use of in several Projects about Raising of Money , and in bringing in a Bill to lessen the Penalties about the Exportation of Wool ; and which occasioned the Mistake of divers of my Friends , who thereby were induced to believe me concerned in Matters which were utterly against their Opinion ; and indeed I may presume to offer my thoughts , will instead of preventing , be rather an Encouragement to the said Exportation ; and if Experience for near Thirty Years may be credited , there is nothing now wanting in Point of Law but Execution ; and if there were a Thousand Laws made and not Executed it is just the same as if none at all .	cache/A34896.xml	txt/A34896.txt
