that_o this_o difference_n in_o land_n and_o people_n arise_v principal_o from_o their_o situation_n trade_n and_o policy_n to_o clear_v this_o i_o shall_v compare_v holland_n and_o zealand_n with_o

be_v attribute_v to_o the_o situation_n of_o the_o land_n and_o to_o the_o trade_n and_o policy_n of_o the_o people_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v show_v be_v that_o holland_n and_o zealand_n at_o
