what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o the_o creditor_n now_o compare_v our_o bank_n with_o this_o if_o our_o nation_n shall_v be_v put_v hard_o upon_o by_o any_o foreign_a power_n the_o king_n may_v

only_o they_o keep_v their_o whole_a fund_z in_o specie_fw-la and_o so_o it_o be_v much_o worse_o their_o money_n lie_v dead_a consider_v how_o money_n will_v abound_v in_o england_n if_o five_o

these_o bank_n probable_o will_v do_v all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o as_o to_o the_o bank_n at_o venice_n it_o be_v not_o of_o any_o long_a stand_n it_o have_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o dishonesty_n of_o the_o banker_n the_o banker_n of_o venice_n do_v just_a as_o some_o of_o our_o banker_n in_o england_n have_v do_v they_o get_v man_n money_n into_o their_o hand_n at_o interest_n and_o use_v
