that_o they_o be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o which_o neither_o french_a dutch_a or_o italian_n ever_o do_v or_o can_v pretend_v to_o import_n upon_o we_o though_o we_o have_v do_v sometime_o upon_o

sir_n i_o can_v compute_v these_o to_o be_v great_a number_n and_o to_o work_v up_o 25_o thousand_o pack_n of_o english_a wool_n and_o when_o employ_v to_o get_v two_o million_o of_o money_n in_o a_o

will_v do_v you_o no_o hurt_n and_o since_o you_o see_v so_o far_o beyond_o other_o you_o need_v not_o oppose_v the_o bill_n object_n 13._o a_o prohibition_n be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v in_o time_n of_o war._n answer_v i_o think_v it_o a_o very_a fit_a time_n when_o we_o want_v money_n to_o do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o get_v it_o and_o the_o east_n india_n manufactory_n be_v buy_v so_o cheap_a if_o export_v be_v very_o like_a to_o fetch_v we_o money_n or_o if_o not_o import_v will_v hinder_v the_o carry_a money_n away_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o the_o long_o pray_v sir_n be_v it_o a_o fit_a time_n for_o thousand_o of_o family_n to_o starve_v or_o run_v to_o ireland_n or_o holland_n and_o there_o set_v up_o the_o english_a manufactory_n object_n 14._o but_o the_o

but_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o the_o petitioner_n for_o this_o bill_n and_o other_o manufacturer_n in_o england_n other_o can_v trade_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v in_o hope_n of_o a_o trade_n at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o we_o have_v no_o such_o hope_n we_o know_v not_o but_o next_o month_n more_o ship_n may_v come_v from_o the_o indies_n though_o we_o have_v enough_o and_o
