and_o forty_o thousand_o yearly_a with_o the_o least_o and_o we_o will_v allow_v two_o pound_n of_o wool_n for_o a_o shroud_n one_o with_o another_o which_o amount_v to_o two_o hundred_o and_o eighty_o thousand_o pound_n of_o wool_n yearly_o bury_v so_o that_o in_o every_o ten_o year_n we_o shall_v spend_v this_o way_n about_o twenty_o hundred_o thousand_o pond_n a_o good_a proportion_n of_o one_o year_n growth_n but_o with_o this_o advantage_n to_o our_o poor_a that_o it_o be_v first_o make_v into_o cloth_n so_o that_o have_v that_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v due_o observe_v as_o
