these_o proposition_n as_o they_o be_v groundless_a and_o upon_o false_a pretence_n propound_v by_o these_o patentee_n so_o they_o be_v deceive_v and_o oppress_v tend_v to_o the_o damage_n of_o many_o

these_o deceive_a proposition_n be_v to_o monopolise_v the_o sope-boyling_a mystery_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o maintain_v 200_o family_n as_o they_o have_v do_v for_o above_o 30_o year_n together_o namely_o by_o the_o engross_n into_o their_o own_o hand_n all_o the_o pot-ash_n the_o reason_n why_o this_o must_v be_v their_o design_n because_o the_o argument_n on_o
