If Forreigners by this freedom, or further encourage∣ment, could be invited to work the Manufactures of Tin here in England, the benefits which would redound to the Nation hereby, would be the same as in the increasing our Woollen Manufactures. Herein this difference happened, that those most Excelling Princes Edward 3d and Queen Elizabeth gave encouragement to Forreigners to instruct our Natives in Woollen-Manufactures, but no King of England ever did it to Forreigners in the Manufactures of Tin; whereby though we have Tin in England, in greater aboundance than any other place has, and as I am told the Iron made in England is more temperate and pliable than any other for making Tin-plates, yet to this day we know not how to make one.
