it_o have_v need_n be_v void_a with_o a_o vengeance_n it_o have_v need_n be_v so_o clear_o void_a that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o prodigy_n if_o it_o be_v not_o submit_v to_o now_o where_o there_o

for_o the_o second_o son_n of_o this_o family_n and_o the_o young_a child_n and_o therein_o it_o do_v perhaps_o appear_v that_o if_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o estate_n and_o the_o honour_n shall_v

the_o trust_n of_o the_o term_n do_v vest_n in_o henry_n till_o the_o contingency_n happen_v but_o in_o wood_n and_o saunders_n case_n there_o it_o be_v limit_v to_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n for_o 60_o year_n if_o they_o live_v so_o long_o then_o to_o john_n and_o his_o heir_n male_n in_o case_n he_o survive_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o the_o trust_n to_o be_v assign_v to_o he_o according_o and_o if_o he_o die_v without_o issue_n in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n then_o to_o edward_n his_o brother_n no_o man_n can_v say_v that_o ever_o any_o thing_n here_o

as_o to_o twenty_o life_n all_o in_o be_v and_o for_o the_o life_n of_o one_o person_n more_o then_o if_o the_o trust_v of_o a_o term_n where_o it_o be_v once_o vest_v in_o tail_n can_v never_o be_v
