the_o clothier_n case_n true_o state_v with_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o reason_n against_o the_o bill_n for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o the_o woollen-manufacture_n humble_o offer_v to_o the_o

that_o the_o clothier_n have_v no_o convenient_a place_n to_o show_v or_o sell_v his_o cloth_n to_o woollen-drapers_n etc._n etc._n this_o alteration_n in_o trade_n have_v bring_v on_o a_o long_a
