that_o if_o the_o king_n will_v buy_v pepper_n the_o sabyndar_n and_o the_o admiral_n know_v of_o it_o but_o now_o they_o know_v no_o such_o matter_n then_o he_o confess_v it_o be_v for_o the_o

and_o now_o by_o mean_n of_o his_o proclamation_n they_o will_v not_o pay_v us._n wherefore_o i_o will_v lay_v all_o our_o debt_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o he_o and_o when_o it_o shall_v please_v

the_o which_o be_v just_a as_o it_o be_v before_o also_o he_o confess_v he_o be_v one_o wherefore_o the_o next_o morning_n i_o send_v he_o to_o execution_n as_o he_o go_v out_o of_o our_o gate_n the_o
