forward_v this_o undertake_n there_o have_v not_o be_v in_o all_o probability_n any_o of_o those_o silk_n make_v in_o england_n at_o this_o time_n but_o by_o the_o great_a care_n and_o charge_n of_o the_o say_a company_n many_o thousand_o of_o poor_a be_v employ_v at_o this_o time_n by_o they_o to_o the_o great_a relief_n of_o those_o poor_a weaver_n that_o can_v find_v no_o employment_n by_o
