do_v presume_v to_o present_v our_o pressure_n and_o impendent_a injury_n to_o your_o honour_n of_o who_o only_o we_o can_v expect_v redress_n and_o of_o none_o other_o for_o whereas_o this_o city_n

do_v thus_o domineer_v over_o we_o in_o our_o own_o trade_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o so_o many_o break_v every_o year_n see_v that_o their_o trade_n be_v steal_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n to_o the_o great_a discomfort_n and_o confusion_n of_o we_o all_o moreover_o when_o we_o be_v out_o of_o our_o time_n and_o shall_v then_o begin_v to_o trade_n in_o the_o world_n we_o can_v get_v neither_o
