any_o part_n of_o our_o charge_n of_o the_o war_n therefore_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o this_o for_o a_o maxim_n whilst_o such_o good_n of_o our_o own_o growth_n carry_v a_o high_a price_n as_o be_v

upon_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o low_a price_n our_o good_n have_v sell_v at_o for_o some_o year_n past_a for_o example_n suppose_v my_o correspondent_n at_o amsterdam_n in_o may_n last_o send_v i_o one_o hundred_o pound_n weight_n of_o clove_n at_o four_o shilling_n a_o pound_n which_o come_v to_o twenty_o pound_n and_o order_v i_o to_o return_v he_o two_o fodder_n of_o lead_n by_o the_o
