the_o daytime_n that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o their_o trade_n the_o long_o add_v to_o this_o the_o trouble_n and_o disturbance_n which_o be_v give_v to_o servant_n and_o

that_o if_o a_o ordinary_a mechanic_n will_v keep_v company_n with_o none_o but_o gentleman_n and_o merchant_n it_o be_v ten_o to_o one_o but_o he_o starve_v his_o family_n by_o only_o pay_v his_o
