proposal_n for_o the_o actual_a survey_v of_o all_o the_o county_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n by_o mr._n adam_n of_o the_o inner-temple_n the_o true_a measure_n of_o a_o meridian_n line_n and_o

be_v a_o sure_a foundation_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o survey_n thereof_o especial_o if_o such_o meridian-line_n be_v continue_v from_o monmoth_n to_o the_o southern_a sea_n on_o the_o coast_n of_o
