Pollexfen, John, b. ca. 1638.; Pollexfen, Henry, Sir, 1632?-1691.

argument_n from_o interest_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v for_o as_o good_a proof_n as_o demonstration_n though_o there_o may_v be_v some_o circumstance_n in_o the_o management_n of_o trade_n that_o may_v

the_o exportation_n of_o our_o product_n and_o manufactory_n or_o by_o such_o good_n as_o come_v here_o from_o our_o plantation_n because_o of_o the_o advantage_n we_o have_v by_o the_o exportation_n
