only_o a_o penny_n for_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v the_o say_v ten_o dish_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o some_o of_o the_o plaintiff_n predecessor_n have_v allow_v sometime_o to_o the_o miner_n when_o their_o work_n fall_v in_o hard_a and_o rocky_a ground_n and_o in_o place_n much_o annoy_v with_o water_n a_o great_a proportion_n viz._n sometime_o four_o penny_n the_o dish_n and_o it_o be_v allege_v on_o the_o defendant_n part_n that_o the_o cleanse_n of_o a_o dish_n be_v worth_a eight_o penny_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n to_o enforce_v the_o poor_a

that_o the_o say_v complainant_a aught_o to_o be_v pay_v his_o tithe_n of_o lead-oar_n and_o that_o the_o most_o constant_a custom_n have_v be_v to_o allow_v but_o a_o penny_n for_o cleanse_v it_o and_o that_o the_o say_v miner_n of_o the_o parish_n of_o wirksworth_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n and_o condition_n as_o other_o the_o miner_n in_o the_o high-peak_n be_v the_o

a_o competent_a recompense_n for_o the_o labour_n of_o wash_v the_o say_v 10_o dish_n yet_o in_o these_o time_n it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o and_o consider_v that_o whatever_o the_o plaintiff_n right_a
