and_o estate_n of_o the_o spender_n if_o we_o send_v 100_o thousand_o pound_n of_o manufacture_n to_o holland_n and_o germany_n we_o have_v common_o some_o useful_a manufacture_n for_o they_o however_o if_o we_o do_v employ_v our_o own_o idle_a poor_a upon_o they_o thing_n it_o be_v possible_a they_o will_v be_v able_a to_o raise_v most_o of_o they_o foreign_a good_n that_o we_o want_v but_o then_o our_o woolen_n manufacture_n that_o supply_v they_o country_n will_v complain_v of_o such_o new_a manufacture_n as_o some_o lancashire_n man_n late_o petition_v the_o parliament_n that_o
