no_o reason_n can_v be_v oppose_v but_o only_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o proposal_n make_v they_o seem_v improbable_a and_o though_o every_o new_a trade_n and_o voyage_n the_o merchant_n contrive_v

the_o water_n grow_v troublesome_a and_o the_o partner_n can_v not_o agree_v to_o raise_v a_o sufficient_a stock_n for_o bring_v up_o a_o level_n to_o drain_v the_o water_n from_o they_o but_o if_o

that_o have_v one_o all_o that_o rich_a land_n must_v lie_v dead_a and_o unprofitable_a and_o yet_o without_o any_o disparagement_n to_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o land_n so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o rich_a mine_n in_o the_o world_n even_o potozi_n itself_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o will_v himself_o to_o raise_v a_o competent_a stock_n to_o make_v level_n etc._n etc._n and_o carry_v on_o the_o

this_o accident_n do_v not_o lessen_v the_o intrinsic_a value_n of_o the_o mine_n to_o man_n that_o have_v both_o stock_n and_o skill_n to_o managethem_n and_o to_o such_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v
