they_o pay_v such_o custom_n for_o the_o same_o as_o shall_v be_v by_o his_o majesty_n appoint_v 9_o also_o that_o it_o will_v please_v his_o highness_n to_o grant_v that_o sir_n william_n garrard_n with_o his_o company_n may_v establish_v their_o trade_n for_o merchandise_n at_o colmogro_n in_o dwina_n and_o that_o such_o ware_n as_o shall_v be_v bring_v out_o of_o our_o country_n fit_a for_o
