be_v enough_o to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o countenance_n but_o hope_v of_o success_n and_o expectation_n of_o gain_n will_v not_o allow_v those_o frail_a of_o man_n to_o be_v wise_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v the_o parliament_n will_v provide_v against_o it_o by_o severe_a penalty_n this_o session_n for_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o knavish_a practice_n the_o fair_a merchant_n be_v

phrase_v it_o and_o may_v consequent_o under-sell_a the_o fair_a merchant_n very_o considerable_o in_o my_o opinion_n there_o be_v not_o a_o punishment_n great_a enough_o for_o such_o wretch_n the_o roman_n make_v a_o crime_n against_o the_o state_n death_n and_o a_o man_n that_o act_v against_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o country_n be_v punish_v with_o the_o great_a ignominy_n the_o present_a
