the_o answer_n of_o the_o master_n of_o the_o trinitie-house_n to_o the_o special_a objection_n of_o the_o patentee_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o winterton_n light_n neglect_n whereas_o it_o be_v object_v that_o from_o the_o eight_o of_o elizabeth_n we_o never_o set_v up_o light-house_n at_o winterton_n until_o this_o time_n we_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a the_o reason_n be_v that_o until_o now_o

14_o year_n since_o we_o build_v 2_o light-house_n and_o lay_v 2_o booye_n at_o a_o place_n call_v castor_n at_o which_o time_n we_o sound_v all_o those_o channel_n but_o find_v no_o cause_n why_o to_o set_v up_o or_o lay_v out_o any_o sea-mark_a either_o for_o day_n or_o night_n at_o winterton_n some_o 10_o year_n since_o or_o thereabouts_o we_o make_v 2_o other_o light-house_n at_o
