other_o hand_n complain_v that_o the_o wooll-buyer_n combine_v so_o to_o undervalue_n their_o wool_n that_o they_o be_v necessitate_v to_o study_v all_o way_n to_o make_v the_o most_o of_o it_o

wool_n for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o be_v export_v thither_o the_o french_a have_v no_o wool_n of_o their_o own_o but_o such_o as_o be_v very_a course_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v cloth_n

for_o worsted_n stuff_n and_o not_o in_o any_o wise_a fit_a for_o comb_v so_o that_o without_o engl_n sh_n or_o irish_a wool_n there_o can_v be_v no_o quantity_n of_o fine_a worsted_n stuff_v nor_o a_o middle_a sort_n of_o cloth_n make_v in_o the_o whole_a world_n neither_o will_v any_o woll_n be_v all_o mix_v together_o but_o english_a and_o spanish_a and_o that_o for_o cloth_n only_o because_o the_o spanish_a be_v with_o the_o english_a of_o one_o nature_n only_o a_o little_a fine_a and_o in_o proportion_n the_o same_o may_v be_v of_o the_o spanish_a and_o irish_a wool_n wherefore_o the_o
