approve_v of_o this_o bill_n have_v not_o only_o be_v teach_v that_o rule_n but_o as_o well_o correct_v as_o myself_o they_o will_v be_v of_o my_o judgement_n and_o i_o wish_v that_o they_o who_o

chastisement_n from_o their_o enrage_a and_o ruin_a countryman_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o that_o our_o author_n be_v whip_v into_o this_o principle_n and_o in_o truth_n its_o pity_n but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v whip_v out_o of_o it_o again_o that_o as_o he_o tremble_v when_o he_o reflect_v on_o his_o former_a correction_n he_o may_v quake_v when_o he_o reflect_v on_o the_o

will_v plain_o seem_v to_o wish_v for_o a_o de-witting_a upon_o those_o member_n that_o be_v for_o the_o bill_n and_o for_o this_o end_n i_o conceive_v it_o be_v that_o such_o great_a bundle_n of_o

honesty_n and_o diligence_n when_o they_o have_v gain_v some_o experience_n in_o the_o necessary_a part_n of_o trade_n general_o send_v they_o abroad_o to_o turkey_n all_o part_n of_o the_o levant_n to_o spain_n portugal_n east_n and_o west-indies_n and_o all_o part_n where_o england_n hold_v any_o considerable_a commerce_n there_o the_o young_a man_n be_v employ_v by_o and_o entrust_v with_o

and_o master_n after_o they_o be_v satiate_v with_o gain_n it_o must_v be_v obvious_a to_o every_o man_n that_o those_o factor_n buy_v the_o product_n of_o those_o country_n where_o they_o be_v
