who_o be_v numerous_a and_o a_o company_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n incorporate_v by_o charter_n to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o apothecary_n be_v become_v so_o numerous_a in_o

of_o write_v all_o in_o bill_n to_o apothecary_n must_v ruin_v the_o physician_n who_o education_n do_v cost_v a_o good_a estate_n or_o stock_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o time_n of_o their_o
