The Humble ADDRESS Of the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal In PARLIAMENT Assembled.  
Die Jovis 9ᵒ. Junii, 1698.  
WE the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled, Do Humbly Represent unto Your Majesty, That the Growing Manufacture of Cloth in Ireland, both by the Cheapness of all Sorts of Necessaries for Life, and Goodness of Materials for Making of all manner of Cloth, doth Invite Your Subjects of England, with their Families and Servants, to Leave their Habitations to Settle there, to the Increase of the Woollen Manufacture in Ireland; which makes Your Loyal Subjects in this Kingdom very Apprehensive, that the further Growth of it may Greatly Prejudice the said Manufacture here; by which the Trade of this Nation, and the Value of Lands will very much Decrease, and the Numbers of the People be much Lessened here: Wherefore We do most Humbly Beseech Your most Sacred Majesty, That Your Majesty would be Pleased, in the most Public and Effectual Way that may be, to Declare to all Your Subjects of Ireland, That the Growth and Increase of the Woollen Manufacture there, hath Long and will ever be Looked upon with great Jealousy by all Your Subjects of this Kingdom; And if not timely Remedied may Occasion very Strict Laws totally to Prohibit and Suppress the same; And on the other hand, if they turn their Industry and Skill to the Settling and Improving the Linen Manufacture, for which generally the Lands of that Kingdom are very Proper, they shall Receive all Countenance, Favour and Protection from Your Royal Influence, for the Encouragement and Promoting of the said Linen Manufacture, to all the Advantage, and Profit that Kingdom can be Capable of.  
Matth. Johnson. Clerc' Parliamentor '   

His Majesty's most Gracious Answer to the Address was to this Effect.  
THat His Majesty will take care to do what Their Lordships have desired.
