will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o have_v hear_v and_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a the_o east-india_n company_n set_v themselves_o so_o entire_o to_o prosecure_v manufacturer_n and_o find_v the_o gentry_n of_o england_n so_o easy_a to_o be_v deceive_v and_o gull_v by_o they_o they_o slight_v all_o other_o trade_n in_o the_o indies_n and_o fix_v whole_o to_o that_o which_o be_v like_a to_o turn_v to_o

of_o the_o last_o ship_n that_o come_v to_o england_n have_v much_o great_a quantity_n of_o these_o good_n than_o the_o whole_a fleet_n of_o 12_o ship_n that_o come_v to_o holland_n and_o i_o
