a_o brief_a survey_n of_o our_o loss_n by_o the_o exportation_n of_o wool_n i._o he_o that_o due_o consider_v the_o quantity_n and_o quality_n of_o our_o english_a wool_n will_v ready_o acquiesce_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o our_o ancestor_n who_o term_v it_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o king_n be_v grow_v the_o dowry_n of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o chief_a revenue_n of_o the_o king_n the_o gold_n of_o our_o ophir_n and_o the_o indies_n of_o england_n it_o affect_v all_o condition_n and_o calling_n of_o man_n among_o we_o from_o the_o high_a peer_n to_o the_o low_a peasant_n ii_o the_o quantity_n of_o our_o wool_n be_v so_o comprehensive_a that_o be_v it_o secure_v to_o ourselves_o industrious_o manage_v in_o its_o full_a manufcture_n and_o export_v by_o a_o english_a merchandise_n and_o navigation_n it_o will_v give_v employment_n to_o so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o people_n that_o we_o shall_v soon_o become_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o be_v able_a to_o balance_v the_o affair_n of_o all_o europe_n iii_o its_o quality_n be_v more_o excellent_a god_n and_o nature_n have_v herein_o seem_o conspire_v for_o a_o suitable_a accommodation_n to_o all_o rank_n and_o

wonderful_a variety_n of_o manufacture_n suitable_a to_o all_o season_n of_o the_o year_n at_o home_n and_o the_o more_o different_a climate_n abroad_o iv_o by_o this_o excellent_a commodity_n we_o be_v able_a to_o outdo_a our_o neighbour_n in_o all_o merchandize_v abroad_o in_o what_o esteem_n have_v our_o english_a factory_n live_v in_o at_o hambro_n flanders_n holland_n and_o dantzick_n in_o
