most_o country_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o production_n of_o flax_n and_o hemp_n the_o native_n of_o the_o country_n seem_v to_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o this_o manufacture_n it_o be_v

that_o england_n be_v well_o incline_v to_o humour_v the_o genius_n of_o ireland_n when_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o hand_n holland_n france_n and_o the_o northern_a crown_n have_v make_v of_o this_o

with_o that_o linen_n which_o they_o have_v from_o our_o neighbour_a country_n this_o will_v raise_v we_o a_o vast_a treasure_n but_o i_o can_v see_v what_o prejudice_n it_o will_v do_v england_n it_o

in_o linen_n one_o with_o another_o this_o computation_n i_o suppose_v be_v much_o too_o large_a if_o the_o 30_o part_n of_o this_o be_v lay_v out_o in_o ireland_n it_o will_v be_v three_o time_n as_o
