in_o great_a measure_n occasion_v by_o the_o delicate_n of_o capon_n and_o turbet_n the_o splendour_n and_o equipage_n of_o intruder_n in_o the_o city_n who_o live_v upon_o the_o woollen_a

the_o day_n of_o edward_n iii_o to_o bring_v back_o a_o multitude_n of_o our_o manufacture_n that_o we_o have_v lose_v which_o will_v be_v no_o small_a advantage_n to_o our_o nation_n for_o although_o in_o some_o respect_n at_o present_a we_o have_v too_o many_o people_n in_o england_n yet_o in_o the_o general_n we_o much_o want_v our_o wool_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o no_o

skinning_n over_o the_o distemper_n which_o in_o a_o little_a time_n will_v break_v out_o in_o the_o great_a rage_n for_o if_o those_o that_o be_v breed_v up_o to_o a_o profession_n can_v get_v a_o

remarkable_a that_o whilst_o we_o give_v money_n free_o upon_o one_o hand_n to_o carry_v on_o a_o war_n against_o france_n with_o vigour_n we_o shall_v support_v they_o upon_o the_o other_o with_o
