“...whereas great quantities of the
like manufactures have of late been made, and are daily increasing in
the kingdom of Ireland, and in the English plantations in America,
and are exported from thence to foreign markets, heretofore supplied
from England...And for the more effectual encouragement of the woolen
manufacture of this kingdom; be it further enacted...no wool,
woolfells, shortlings, mortlings, woolflocks, worsted, bay, or
woollen yarn, cloth, serge, bays, kerseys, says, friezes, druggets,
cloth-serges, shalloons, or any other drapery stuffs, or woollen
manufactures whatsoever, made or mixed with wool or woolflocks, being
the product or manufacture of any of the English plantations in
America, shall be loaden or laid on board in any ship or vessel, in
any place or parts within any of the said English plantations, upon
any pretence whatsoever; as likewise...the product of manufacture of
any of the English plantations in America as aforesaid, shall be
loaden upon any horse, cart, or other carriage, to the intent and
purpose to be exported, transported, carried, or conveyed out of the
said English plantations to any other of the said plantations, or to
any other place...”
William III, May 4, 1699
