the_o woodmonger_n beside_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o the_o woodmonger_n in_o those_o day_n be_v honest_a man_n and_o therefore_o the_o carman_n may_v well_o petition_v to_o be_v

the_o woodmonger_n still_o encroach_a and_o entrench_v upon_o the_o carman_o privilege_n they_o may_v and_o do_v see_v more_o reason_n to_o petition_n to_o be_v seavered_a from_o the_o woodmonger_n than_o ever_o they_o do_v to_o be_v join_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o the_o woodmonger_n allegation_n in_o that_o be_v vain_a and_o foolish_a again_o the_o woodmonger_n say_v the_o carman_n be_v

as_o capable_a of_o government_n as_o a_o farrier_n now_o the_o world_n may_v see_v what_o brave_a blade_n these_o woodmonger_n be_v that_o make_v such_o brag_n of_o their_o excellency_n in_o
