first_o that_o to_o monopolise_v they_o do_v take_v their_o patent_n and_o this_o offence_n they_o translate_v upon_o the_o first_o sope-patentees_a second_o that_o by_o monopolise_v they_o have_v

the_o city_n nay_o may_v i_o not_o say_v it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v with_o some_o in_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o patentee_n suffering_n by_o the_o cruel_a oppression_n of_o
