at_o home_o shall_v cost_v nine_o shilling_n per_fw-la yard_n notwithstanding_o which_o the_o indian_a silk_n so_o improve_v by_o we_o shall_v do_v equal_a the_o service_n and_o be_v more_o

and_o more_o please_v to_o the_o eye_n than_o any_o silkman_n because_o among_o the_o silk-weaver_n a_o good_a workman_n will_v expect_v half_o a_o crown_n a-day_o and_o not_o work_v hard_o from_o
