again_o if_o other_o man_n and_o those_o perhaps_o your_o neighbour_n shall_v out_o of_o malice_n as_o many_o do_v inform_v your_o lord_n that_o your_o farm_n be_v better_a worth_n by_o twenty_o

belong_v to_o a_o skilful_a surveyor_n land_n true_o except_o he_o know_v the_o tenure_n rent_n custom_n service_n reprise_n and_o have_v some_o understanding_n in_o the_o law_n and_o also_o he_o
