it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n to_o enlarge_v their_o trade_n with_o england_n for_o shall_v they_o buy_v more_o of_o england_n than_o they_o do_v and_o have_v do_v for_o

fifteen_o mile_n from_o london_n whether_o like_o abatement_n have_v happen_v there_o as_o in_o your_o part_n of_o the_o country_n and_o i_o have_v many_o instance_n give_v i_o where_o several_a

inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n thereof_o to_o resolve_v this_o query_n to_o satisfaction_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o retrospect_n the_o condition_n of_o england_n unto_o the_o time_n when_o

about_o 1662._o it_o be_v probable_a that_o that_o will_v direct_v or_o help_v we_o to_o find_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o their_o abatement_n to_o go_v no_o further_a back_n than_o the_o reign_n of_o
