to_o themselves_o by_o their_o oppress_a patent_n these_o patentee_n be_v covetous_a deal_v with_o these_o poor_a man_n as_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n of_o thessalonica_n move_v with_o envy_n deal_v with_o paul_n namely_o they_o do_v take_v to_o they_o certain_a lewd_a fellow_n of_o the_o base_a sort_n to_o act_v their_o cruelty_n second_o they_o be_v freeman_n and_o have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o the_o sope-boyling_a art_n as_o themselves_o and_o do_v serve_v apprentice_n for_o their_o freedom_n to_o trade_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v these_o patentee_n be_v not_o soap-boilers_a in_o

every_o freeman_n that_o know_v how_o to_o boil_v may_v as_o lawful_o as_o themselves_o use_v sope-boyling_a as_o for_o their_o charge_v of_o boil_a soap_n in_o corner_n they_o mean_v do_v boil_v
