but_o say_v there_o be_v no_o land_n to_o support_v the_o title_n then_o the_o plaintiff_n pray_v that_o the_o court_n will_v confirm_v what_o they_o own_v by_o a_o rule_n in_o court_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n scrog_n stand_v up_o and_o say_v confirm_v or_o not-confirm_a the_o declaration_n be_v naught_o discharge_v blakeston_n from_o the_o suit_n of_o percy_n notwithstanding_o the_o vast_a charge_n the_o plaintiff_n have_v be_v put_v to_o by_o the_o defendant_n shelter_v under_o the_o senior_a countess_n of_o northumberland_n privilege_n and_o when_o the_o
