against_o the_o company_n as_o they_o oftentimes_o declare_v the_o charter_n of_o the_o east-india_n company_n be_v confirm_v by_o king_n charles_n ii_o in_o the_o thirteen_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n

whereupon_o the_o weaver_n of_o london_n norwich_n canterbury_n and_o the_o woollen_a manufacturer_n in_o many_o other_o place_n petition_v that_o some_o restraint_n may_v be_v lay_v upon_o the_o
