in_o their_o generation_n either_o to_o their_o king_n or_o country_n where_o they_o live_v second_o because_o shopkeeper_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o education_n be_v never_o use_v to_o labour_n

they_o have_v be_v make_v free_a of_o the_o same_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o apprentice_n after_o they_o come_v out_o of_o their_o time_n do_v get_v into_o the_o world_n or_o can_v

in_o any_o shop-keeping_a trade_n first_o to_o breed_v he_o at_o school_n and_o to_o make_v he_o fit_a for_o the_o same_o 2._o to_o place_v he_o forth_o to_o the_o say_a trade_n when_o he_o be_v fit_a which_o will_v cost_v in_o a_o country_n market_n town_n not_o less_o than_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o pound_n but_o in_o london_n upward_o of_o a_o hundred_o so_o that_o these_o trade_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v purchase_v and_o that_o not_o only_o with_o money_n by_o the_o parent_n but_o with_o a_o servitude_n also_o by_o the_o son_n therefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o

that_o do_v take_v their_o trade_n from_o they_o and_o as_o shopkeeper_n in_o village_n be_v a_o very_a great_a injury_n to_o market-town_n in_o the_o country_n even_o so_o be_v they_o to_o the_o
