to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o yarn_n at_o the_o rate_n we_o have_v set_v they_o and_o on_o the_o whole_a we_o find_v the_o commodity_n make_v of_o fine_a yarn_n though_o they_o be_v much_o better_a than_o those_o make_v of_o course_n yet_o stand_v we_o in_o little_a more_o because_o what_o the_o one_o exceed_v in_o the_o charge_n of_o spin_v be_v very_o much_o make_v good_a in_o abatement_n of_o the_o quantity_n use_v we_o therefore_o send_v to_o the_o manufacturer_n and_o show_v they_o what_o experiment_n we_o have_v make_v but_o find_v they_o still_o unwilling_a to_o advance_v above_o the_o old_a rate_n the_o committee_n vote_v that_o they_o will_v give_v employment_n to_o all_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o city_n who_o will_v make_v application_n to_o they_o at_o the_o rate_n we_o offer_v to_o work_v and_o pay_v they_o ready_a money_n for_o their_o labour_n we_o soon_o find_v we_o have_v take_v the_o right_a course_n for_o in_o a_o few_o week_n we_o have_v sale_n for_o our_o fine_a yarn_n as_o fast_o as_o we_o can_v make_v it_o and_o they_o give_v we_o from_o eight_o penny_n to_o two_o shilling_n per_fw-la pound_n for_o spin_v the_o same_o good_n for_o which_o a_o little_a before_o they_o pay_v but_o eight_o penny_n and_o be_v very_o well_o please_v with_o it_o because_o they_o be_v now_o able_a to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o fine_a and_o course_n yarn_n and_o to_o apply_v each_o sort_n to_o the_o use_n for_o which_o it_o be_v most_o proper_a since_o which_o they_o have_v give_v we_o two_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n per_fw-la
