300_o lib._n scot_n year_o which_o i_o think_v the_o best_a way_n or_o the_o half_a third_z four_o or_o five_o part_n of_o such_o a_o rent_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o six_o chaler_n of_o

give_v i_o down_o a_o chalder_n of_o victual_n or_o 100_o pound_n scot_n of_o my_o year_o rent_n and_o give_v i_o a_o heritable_a right_n to_o it_o for_o myself_o heir_n and_o successor_n for_o the_o

the_o master_n to_o accept_v because_o if_o he_o be_v a_o frugal_a man_n he_o know_v how_o to_o make_v all_o be_v good_a use_n of_o his_o money_n and_o it_o evident_o insure_v the_o rest_n of_o his_o rent_n and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o spendthrift_n it_o be_v all_o be_v good_a to_o take_v of_o his_o own_o as_o to_o borrow_v from_o his_o neighbour_n and_o possible_o turn_v bankrupt_a altogether_o if_o the_o same_o tennent_n purchase_v more_o i_o do_v advise_v both_o master_n and_o tennent_n to_o do_v the_o same_o till_o the_o half_a rent_n or_o at_o most_o two_o part_n of_o the_o rent_n be_v thereby_o exhaust_v and_o thereafter_o the_o tennent_n &_o his_o successor_n be_v to_o pay_v the_o superplus_n to_o the_o master_n for_o ever_o &_o be_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o keep_v good_a horse_n &_o arm_n to_o attend_v he_o and_o maintain_v their_o house_n in_o good_a and_o sufficient_a condition_n and_o this_o i_o call_v feve_v of_o land_n i_o know_v this_o be_v not_o the_o ordinar_n and_o stricke_v way_n of_o feve_v according_a to_o the_o feudal_n law_n or_o conform_v to_o the_o practice_n in_o some_o place_n especial_o in_o the_o west_n of_o scotland_n where_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o the_o master_n or_o tennent_n the_o feu-duty_n be_v double_v and_o for_o that_o of_o a_o singular_a successor_n the_o whole_a intrinsic_a value_n of_o the_o land_n so_o hold_v for_o a_o year_n be_v payable_a to_o the_o landlord_n where_o also_o several_a clause_n anent_o alienation_n without_o consent_n of_o superior_n and_o other_o unreasonable_a irritant_fw-la clause_n place_n against_o the_o poor_a vassal_n whereby_o when_o a_o unjust_a and_o hard_a master_n succeed_v or_o very_o frequent_o a_o lawyer_n there_o be_v many_o evident_a advantage_n to_o be_v take_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o poor_a vassal_n but_o as_o i_o dislike_v such_o course_n so_o what_o be_v say_v be_v all_o which_o i_o understand_v and_o mean_v by_o feve_v and_o it_o seem_v most_o reasonable_a that_o as_o i_o will_v not_o advise_v master_n to_o diminish_v their_o rent_n above_o the_o one_o half_a by_o this_o new_a way_n of_o feve_v so_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o subject_v the_o poor_a laborious_a husbandman_n to_o any_o irritant_fw-la clause_n neither_o to_o vast_a entry_n which_o in_o time_n probable_o may_v destroy_v both_o he_o and_o his_o succession_n thus_o in_o as_o few_o and_o plain_a word_n as_o i_o can_v i_o have_v finish_v my_o advice_n that_o what_o be_v say_v may_v be_v easy_o understand_v by_o the_o mean_a capacity_n i_o have_v use_v your_o own_o dialect_n
