holland_n which_o though_o they_o shrink_v after_o be_v wet_a above_o a_o six_o part_n yet_o the_o russian_n prefer_v they_o to_o our_o clothes_n because_o say_v they_o no_o cloth_n will_v shrink_v but_o what_o be_v new_a it_o must_v be_v own_a that_o we_o be_v much_o in_o the_o wrong_n in_o not_o comply_v with_o their_o humour_n and_o restrain_v ourselves_o to_o that_o commodity_n only_o while_o the_o dutch_a bring_v they_o thither_o a_o vast_a quantity_n of_o toy_n thing_n that_o sell_v better_o there_o than_o clothes_n which_o begin_v now_o to_o be_v out_o of_o fashion_n in_o that_o
