because_o it_o be_v rather_o in_o reality_n a_o engross_a of_o the_o trade_n of_o that_o commodity_n there_o be_v a_o company_n of_o people_n that_o pay_v to_o the_o king_n a_o sum_n of_o money_n

not_o one_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a city_n in_o france_n have_v pay_v about_o 4000_o l._n sterling_n those_o who_o sell_v any_o brandy_n by_o retail_n in_o their_o shop_n or_o in_o the_o
