worth_a of_o cloth_n may_v also_o carry_v with_o it_o forty_o thousand_o pound_n in_o money_n then_o can_v the_o merchant_n stand_v the_o stiff_a upon_o his_o term_n and_o in_o fine_a will_v buy_v

to_o return_v to_o our_o wit_n and_o trade_n again_o before_o we_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o do_v in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v consider_v 1._o that_o we_o be_v often_o force_v to_o buy_v corn_n

than_o we_o can_v work_v up_o in_o this_o certain_o wool_n may_v be_v export_v because_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o the_o hand_n which_o work_n be_v already_o employ_v upon_o a_o better_a trade_n 3._o
