their_o discovery_n they_o shall_v be_v undo_v for_o some_o of_o their_o workmaster_n will_v be_v stark_o mad_a with_o they_o and_o that_o some_o of_o they_o have_v be_v threaten_v by_o their_o work_n

in_o more_o awe_n many_o of_o they_o and_o fear_v to_o displea_v their_o workmaster_n than_o their_o apprentice_n do_v and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n so_o much_o bad_a sleight_n silver_n

the_o wound_n will_v blow_v the_o silver_n away_o of_o the_o silk_n and_o then_o the_o wheele-man_n and_o hand_n spinner_n must_v agree_v with_o some_o of_o these_o workmaster_n as_o the_o silkman_n do_v with_o the_o dyer_n they_o must_v make_v one_o pound_n of_o raw_n silk_n weigh_v two_o pound_n when_o it_o come_v from_o die_v so_o the_o master_n wyer-drawers_a will_n and_o at_o this_o day_n do_v force_v many_o of_o their_o workman_n to_o make_v silver_n three_o ounce_n silver_n to_o cover_v six_o ounce_n of_o silk_n and_o four_o ounce_n silver_n to_o cover_v five_o ounce_n of_o silk_n and_o this_o be_v sell_v for_o good_a silver_n thread_n by_o the_o master_n wire_n drawer_n and_o silkeman_n so_o that_o the_o wearer_n be_v cozen_v many_o time_n half_a in_o half_n and_o this_o make_v knave_n against_o a_o regulation_n for_o they_o can_v get_v more_o by_o sell_v ten_o pound_n worth_a of_o this_o sleight_n and_o deceitful_a silver_n lace_n than_o they_o can_v do_v by_o sell_v forty_o pound_n worth_a of_o good_a silver_n lace_n this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n wherefore_o they_o will_v have_v no_o sealer_n but_o will_v have_v the_o regulation_n of_o this_o business_n leave_v among_o the_o refiner_n and_o wyer-drawers_a themselves_o this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o woman_n spynners_n and_o many_o of_o the_o journyman_n wyer-drawers_a desire_n at_o this_o
