unto_o 15258807812500_o pound_n sterling_a which_o i_o think_v exceed_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o all_o the_o prince_n and_o of_o other_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o be_v

so_o that_o every_o sheep_n produce_v one_o each_o year_n for_o at_o the_o end_n of_o 16_o year_n 100_o sheep_n will_v multiply_v and_o increase_v unto_o 6553600_o which_o be_v above_o 6_o million_o
