notwithstanding_o objection_n to_o these_o head_n of_o a_o bill_n perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v several_a objection_n as_o first_o that_o in_o what_o be_v here_o propose_v for_o a_o bill_n there_o be_v no_o provision_n that_o in_o case_n the_o prisoner_n happen_v to_o have_v a_o estate_n after_o he_o be_v discharge_v that_o such_o estate_n shall_v be_v subject_a to_o his_o debt_n answer_n to_o which_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o prisoner_n part_v with_o all_o his_o estate_n voluntary_o it_o will_v seem_v very_o severe_a that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o legacy_n or_o other_o

objection_n second_o and_o which_o be_v a_o very_a great_a objection_n that_o by_o the_o head_n of_o this_o bill_n although_o mortgage_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v first_o yet_o judgement_n statute_n and_o

there_o can_v be_v as_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o a_o proportionable_a dividend_n of_o the_o estate_n nor_o indeed_o any_o dividend_n at_o all_o for_o one_o judgement_n statute_n or_o recognizance_n

it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o twenty_o part_n answer_n to_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o one_o such_o person_n as_o will_v or_o can_v

it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v seem_v hard_a that_o the_o prisoner_n shall_v have_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o his_o estate_n when_o all_o will_v not_o pay_v his_o debt_n and_o it_o be_v equal_o as_o
