will_v as_o well_o have_v deny_v that_o ever_o he_o carry_v the_o ship_n into_o the_o county_n of_o northumberland_n as_o he_o do_v aver_v that_o he_o take_v she_o upon_o the_o sea_n and_o silence_n be_v not_o a_o consent_n or_o confession_n where_o a_o man_n be_v tie_v to_o one_o plea_n and_o have_v divers_a to_o plead_v this_o therefore_o be_v neither_o confess_v by_o mutford_n or_o any_o else_o but_o by_o the_o author_n himself_o and_o such_o as_o be_v of_o his_o party_n for_o berry_n neither_o affirm_v nor_o determine_v any_o such_o thing_n or_o cause_v he_o to_o answer_v upon_o any_o such_o ground_n but_o upon_o this_o ground_n that_o the_o king_n will_v the_o peace_n to_o be_v keep_v as_o well_o on_o the_o sea_n as_o on_o the_o land_n and_o indeed_o the_o ground_n be_v

on_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o on_o the_o other_o the_o admiral_n his_o deputy_n and_o other_o justice_n with_o he_o appoint_a for_o the_o keep_n thereof_o upon_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o

from_o whence_o it_o be_v draw_v this_o meaning_n of_o take_v partly_o on_o the_o sea_n and_o partly_o on_o the_o river_n must_v be_v that_o a_o ship_n be_v so_o take_v when_o she_o be_v first_o
