with_o great_a quantity_n it_o be_v reply_v the_o reason_n why_o farmer_n sometime_o want_v vent_n for_o their_o grain_n be_v because_o we_o have_v not_o always_o store_n and_o therefore_o merchant_n make_v no_o provision_n for_o the_o trade_n but_o if_o we_o yearly_o sow_v such_o quantity_n of_o corn_n beyond_o the_o expense_n of_o the_o nation_n as_o merchant_n may_v be_v no_o less_o certain_a of_o a_o constant_a supply_n here_o than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o sound_n where_o the_o country_n depend_v as_o much_o on_o their_o harvest_n as_o france_n do_v on_o its_o vintage_n plenty_n will_v

the_o less_o their_o wine_n will_v cost_v the_o nation_n in_o ready_a money_n or_o bill_n of_o exchange_n which_o be_v all_o one_o but_o if_o you_o allege_v sow_v quantity_n will_v make_v corn_n
