seize_v they_o to_o his_o majesty_n use_n and_o take_v they_o from_o our_o servant_n oftentimes_o eight_o or_o ten_o pound_n worth_a at_o one_o instant_a and_o more_o beside_o many_o other_o trouble_n that_o we_o by_o they_o be_v put_v to_o then_o the_o city_n be_v exstreame_o bend_v against_o we_o upon_o their_o act_n of_o common_a council_n which_o be_v against_o the_o use_n of_o the_o

shift_v for_o themselves_o which_o tend_v not_o only_o to_o their_o undo_n but_o also_o to_o we_o for_o they_o use_v many_o trade_n and_o engross_a diverse_a commodity_n to_o themselves_o have_v get_v
