needs_o be_v so_o since_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o fit_v every_o man_n occasion_n in_o such_o proportion_n as_o he_o require_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o receive_v their_o

the_o standard_n of_o trade_n which_o may_v be_v of_o equal_a value_n in_o all_o place_n and_o a_o measure_n to_o the_o worth_n of_o other_o commodity_n the_o excellency_n whereof_o be_v not_o to_o
