same_o thing_n for_o the_o merchandise_n of_o india_n can_v be_v all_o absume_v at_o bassora_n but_o remain_v there_o little_a or_o nothing_o must_v be_v from_o thence_o disperse_v to_o aleppo_n and_o elsewhere_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o sciah_n raise_v a_o great_a war_n both_o against_o the_o portugal_n and_o the_o people_n of_o bassora_n who_o chief_a subsistence_n be_v from_o this_o trade_n on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o conceive_v it_o may_v not_o be_v true_a because_o emir_n nasir_n draw_v great_a profit_n from_o the_o cafila_n which_o pass_v from_o bassora_n to_o aleppo_n and_o though_o at_o the_o take_n of_o bagdad_n he_o side_v with_o the_o sciah_n for_o some_o end_n of_o his_o own_o yet_o i_o believe_v that_o as_o a_o arabian_a and_o a_o free_a prince_n he_o be_v not_o so_o devote_v to_o the_o sciah_n as_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o proper_a interest_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o keep_v some_o agent_n and_o
