An esteemable Encouragement to all Men and Women,* 1.1 that would wear Cloth, and Stuff, all the Winter; and a general burying in Woollen, would save us so much Money as would go a great way towards the Fund; and a Peny sav'd being of more value than a Peny got, it would advantage us more ways than one.
For the more we consume of Foreign Commodities,* 1.2 the more we strengthen Foreigners, and weaken our selves, without we over balance it by our own Exportation; for if we have not Manufactures, and Home-Productions, had we never so many Silver Mines, they would be exhausted, as we have an Example in the Spaniard, who consumes all the Silver he hath from the Indies, on Foreign Things he hath occasion for.
