 to demonstrate my under-takings ; setting 

 forth the Clothier (with his twenty broad 

 Loomes) for the finest cloth, to be the

 Wool, Flaxe, Hempe, and Hurdes. Some 

 Fustian -loomes, with such silke- homes as 

 shall bee needfull : Two thousand poore 

 Spinners, Carders, Wooll-pyckers, Quti-nvin- 

 ders, with the Broad and Narrow-weavers;

 hands ; for severall Artificers, that neither

 winders, Spinners and Carders, shall ever 

 lose an houres labour. No women, chil- 

 dren, nor Prentises, shall be free of this 

 place, but all selected Journey-men of the 

 best ability of body and Arte that may 

 be had. I give fifty pound yearely and 

 perpetually unto a Preacher ; twenty
