ten_o or_o fifteen_o mile_n at_o night_n towards_o the_o sea_n with_o the_o like_a guard_n as_o before_o but_o for_o other_o part_n it_o must_v be_v do_v partly_o by_o the_o remissness_n of_o the_o

out_o in_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n which_o be_v most_o for_o workmen_n wage_n i_o know_v no_o place_n clear_a and_o then_o another_o reason_n why_o person_n be_v not_o detect_v be_v because_o all_o the_o wool_n that_o have_v be_v take_v in_o those_o part_n where_o most_o have_v be_v export_v have_v be_v suffer_v to_o go_v off_o at_o the_o same_o place_n after_o judgement_n past_a and_o
