A single-sheet broadside arguing the case of the city of Exeter (Exon) against the closing of its port to wool imported from Ireland. It cites the 10 & 11 William III act restricting wool export from Ireland and England, argues that its bonds and registers make smuggling to France unlikely, and claims the closure harms Exeter's serge makers. It estimates yearly losses from overland carriage costs and from water absorbed by wool, and asks Parliament to allow wool to be imported at the quay of Exeter.
