THE CASE OF THE Manufacturers of Grograin Yarn.  
THAT since the Settlement of Manufacturing Raw Silk and Grograin Yarn in England, great Multitudes of People have Increased and been maintained, the Productions of our Lands Expended, and Navigation improved by the Exportation of our wool fully Manufactured to turkey, Italy, and again return'd in the aforesaid Raw Silk and Grograin Yarn.  
That 'tis apparent the great pference lately and now given to Foreign Wrought Silks and Stuffs, hath Ruined most, and so discouraged all the Silk-Weavers and Throwsters; for that the Mercers of London and Westminster, finding the Fond Humours of the Female Sex will not be pleased or contented without them, though at double the true Value thereof; and unless they purchase them, though at those Rates, the Drapers will deprive them of their Trades, bend all their Care, Estates and Credits to Trade therein, and the English Weavers and Throwsters are thereby Undone and Ruined.  
That these Manufacturers of London, for some time past, could find no Ways to preserve their Poor from Starving, but by interfering with the Trade of Norwich, and other Woollen Manufacturers, except in that Branch of Grograin Yarn, which always was, and chiefly is, the principal Return of our Coarse English Wooll-Cloths fully Manufactured, and by Winding, Doubling, Twisting, Weaving, Dying, Dressing, and Callendering thereof, doth give vast employment to multitudes both of Men, Women and Children; as hath been made plainly appear before this Honourable House, and shall again, if required.  
That he which wears a Hair-Camblet Cloak or Coat, Hair-Prunelloe or Camblet Gown, Advanceth the great Interest of England in the Consumption of our own wool, with all the Advantage of its several Manufacturies, and the like in the Return of Raw Grograin Yarn, as aforesaid; whereas he that wears a Cloak, suit, or Coat, or pleads in a Gown of above Fourteen Shillings per Yard, bought in Blackwell-Hall, Consumes not One Dram of English wool.  
Therefore 'tis Humbly Hoped this Honourable House will not Prohibit the Wearing of Hair Stuffs, in regard the Manufacturers thereof have no other Branch of the Weaving Trade to employ themselves for their Support and livelihood.
