there_o be_v no_o society_n wherein_o all_o be_v of_o one_o temper_n and_o out_o of_o the_o care_n we_o have_v always_o have_v for_o the_o common_a good_a of_o all_o our_o people_n more_o than_o of_o

who_o have_v on_o the_o other_o side_n daily_o use_v of_o that_o kind_n of_o spice_n we_o have_v condition_v with_o they_o and_o limit_v that_o they_o shall_v utter_v pepper_n at_o the_o rate_n of_o
