hereupon_o it_o will_v not_o be_v much_o devious_a or_o out_o of_o the_o way_n to_o make_v some_o mention_n of_o those_o fashion_n which_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o seal_v and_o subscribe_v of_o deed_n

to_o be_v pass_v over_o in_o silence_n that_o a_o livery_n in_o law_n may_v sometime_o be_v perfect_v by_o a_o entry_n in_o law_n as_o if_o a_o man_n make_v a_o deed_n of_o feoffament_n and_o deliver_v seisin_n within_o the_o view_n the_o feoffee_n dare_v not_o enter_v for_o fear_n of_o death_n but_o claim_v the_o same_o this_o shall_v vest_n the_o freehold_a and_o inheritance_n in_o he_o
