but_o now_o my_o lord_n i_o must_v confess_v what_o your_o lordship_n say_v it_o be_v a_o difficult_a matter_n to_o challenge_v any_o array_n because_o they_o be_v array_v by_o a_o person_n that_o

so_o be_v that_o my_o lord_n mayor_n of_o london_n that_o be_v have_v power_n to_o adjourn_v the_o court_n and_o it_o be_v admit_v a_o regular_a adjournment_n certain_o the_o riot_n will_v follow_v and_o what_o follow_v then_o then_o come_v on_o a_o question_n and_o it_o be_v immediate_o consequent_a upon_o it_o that_o these_o gentleman_n be_v actual_a sheriff_n of_o london_n they_o be_v

that_o they_o be_v actual_o take_v the_o poll_n and_o the_o poll_n be_v for_o mr._n dubois_n and_o mr._n papillon_n then_o the_o question_n be_v if_o so_o be_v the_o adjournment_n by_o my_o lord_n

this_o we_o suggest_v in_o this_o whether_o your_o lordship_n will_v receive_v this_o challenge_n or_o whether_o your_o lordship_n will_v proceed_v first_o to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o
