such_o cause_n if_o happen_v before_o the_o time_n limit_v in_o the_o say_a treaty_n do_v cease_v upon_o the_o conclusion_n thereof_o but_o as_o to_o such_o as_o be_v then_o depend_v concern_v the_o inheritance_n of_o land_n that_o they_o have_v still_o continue_v to_o be_v pursue_v as_o for_o example_n the_o case_n of_o sir_n thomas_n lower_v a_o english_a man_n for_o certain_a land_n claim_v
