make_v the_o will_n be_v dead_a must_v we_o not_o then_o have_v have_v our_o recourse_n unto_o witness_n wherefore_o see_v the_o notary_n do_v not_o come_v time_n enough_o it_o may_v be_v because_o some_o of_o you_o stay_v he_o shall_v not_o the_o witness_n of_o such_o person_n as_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v believe_v serve_v the_o turn_n who_o do_v hear_v the_o decease_a man_n say_v that_o he_o

that_o he_o have_v cause_v this_o man_n to_o restore_v unto_o you_o the_o inheritance_n but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o you_o say_v then_o prove_v it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o credit_v your_o word_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o you_o have_v compel_v your_o father_n to_o do_v that_o which_o you_o can_v believe_v yet_o to_o prove_v that_o this_o be_v so_o the_o effect_n make_v mention_v

that_o your_o reason_n seem_v very_o frivolous_a and_o chief_o when_o you_o say_v that_o this_o decease_a man_n be_v provoke_v by_o the_o foresay_a reason_n or_o by_o his_o own_o conscience_n have_v

that_o which_o come_v by_o gift_n likewise_o therein_o he_o shall_v but_o alter_v the_o meaning_n of_o your_o father_n and_o his_o benefactor_n for_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o he_o do_v give_v
