the_o mean_n of_o advance_v trade_n be_v so_o to_o influence_n every_o particular_a person_n in_o the_o kingdom_n that_o he_o may_v have_v money_n according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o his_o call_v

the_o mean_n of_o traffic_n and_o those_o material_n that_o man_n must_v work_v upon_o for_o their_o support_n for_o as_o in_o a_o natural_a body_n there_o be_v require_v nourishment_n to_o keep_v

all_o these_o method_n will_v not_o diminish_v the_o revenue_n but_o increase_v it_o for_o if_o well_o manage_v it_o will_v return_v into_o their_o hand_n again_o perhaps_o double_a as_o suppose_v
