when_o his_o lease_n be_v expyre_v go_v willing_o out_o of_o his_o farm_n or_o do_v his_o landlord_n thrust_v he_o out_o by_o force_n omen_n forsooth_o neither_o for_o he_o tarry_v in_o it_o still_o &_o will_v not_o go_v out_o but_o keep_v possession_n thereof_o so_o that_o he_o that_o hire_v the_o say_a farm_n over_o his_o head_n complain_v of_o he_o to_o the_o judge_n who_o be_v his_o own_o son_n think_v that_o he_o will_v weigh_v with_o he_o altogether_o be_v his_o father_n siuqila_n it_o be_v very_o like_o so_o therefore_o it_o be_v marvel_n that_o he_o dare_v stand_v so_o against_o his_o landlord_n and_o against_o he_o that_o have_v hire_v his_o farm_n consider_v the_o judge_n be_v his_o son_n omen_n yea_o you_o and_o they_o of_o your_o country_n may_v marvel_v at_o it_o well_o enough_o for_o perhaps_o some_o judge_n with_o you_o will_v have_v favour_v their_o father_n cause_n though_o it_o have_v not_o be_v altogether_o right_o siuqila_n that_o be_v very_o like_a for_o there_o have_v be_v judge_n with_o we_o ere_o now_o that_o have_v wink_v at_o the_o right_n and_o have_v favour_v such_o as_o have_v neither_o right_a nor_o good_a title_n in_o the_o thing_n they_o sue_v for_o and_o yet_o be_v neither_o their_o father_n mother_n sister_n nor_o brother_n nor_o any_o kin_n at_o all_o to_o they_o omen_n then_o perhaps_o they_o grease_v they_o in_o the_o hand_n with_o the_o golden_a ointment_n which_o have_v as_o great_a virtue_n to_o allure_v wicked_a judge_n as_o consanguinity_n or_o kindred_n but_o this_o farmer_n who_o house_n be_v hire_v from_o he_o do_v assure_v himself_o that_o the_o judge_n of_o mauqsun_n be_v so_o righteous_a godly_a and_o fear_v god_n so_o much_o that_o neither_o love_n of_o their_o kindred_n favour_n of_o their_o friend_n nor_o yet_o bribe_v of_o stranger_n can_v make_v they_o once_o tread_v awry_o beside_o that_o he_o know_v full_o well_o that_o if_o the_o judge_n shall_v weigh_v with_o the_o wrong_n and_o do_v contrary_a to_o equity_n and_o justice_n that_o then_o we_o have_v such_o a_o love_a affable_a diligent_a and_o righteous_a king_n that_o if_o any_o poor_a man_n complain_v to_o he_o of_o wrong_n do_v to_o he_o by_o any_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v he_o will_v hear_v the_o matter_n himself_o and_o whether_o he_o be_v lord_n ruler_n or_o judge_n that_o do_v the_o party_n wrong_v he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o pay_v full_o dear_o for_o it_o according_a to_o the_o law_n without_o any_o hope_n of_o remission_n or_o pardon_n and_o therefore_o this_o farmer_n do_v not_o fear_v his_o righteous_a matter_n at_o all_o though_o the_o judge_n be_v son_n to_o his_o enemy_n so_o that_o when_z the_o judge_n father_n have_v complain_v to_o his_o son_n as_o be_v before_o say_v make_v to_o his_o son_n a_o very_a plain_a &_o smooth_a matter_n of_o it_o as_o he_o tell_v the_o tale_n the_o judge_n then_o say_v father_n i_o much_o muse_n that_o the_o say_a farmer_n will_v first_o consent_v &_o be_v willing_a judge_n the_o wise_a say_n of_o the_o judge_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v his_o farm_n after_o his_o year_n be_v expyre_v &_o now_o after_o his_o lease_n be_v end_v to_o withstand_v you_o &_o not_o suffer_v you_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o same_o &_o so_o much_o that_o rather_o for_o that_o he_o know_v you_o be_v my_o dear_a father_n &_o that_o i_o love_v &_o estéem_v you_o above_o all_o erthly_a creature_n who_o may_v very_o well_o think_v that_o if_o i_o will_v aid_v &_o help_v the_o widow_n fatherless_a &_o stranger_n that_o i_o know_v not_o to_o their_o right_n that_o then_o i_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o take_v any_o wrong_n therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o either_o he_o be_v a_o naughty_a obstinate_a or_o foolish_a fellow_n or_o that_o he_o be_v drink_v when_o he_o consent_v &_o agree_v to_o your_o take_n of_o his_o farm_n or_o else_o it_o seem_v that_o you_o go_v about_o to_o do_v he_o wrong_v presume_v that_o rather_o to_o prosecute_v your_o pretend_a matter_n against_o he_o in_o hope_n to_o obtain_v your_o desire_n for_o that_o i_o be_o your_o son_n that_o must_v be_v judge_n of_o the_o cause_n but_o father_n i_o have_v such_o a_o good_a opinion_n in_o you_o that_o you_o will_v neither_o go_v about_o to_o do_v any_o man_n wrong_v neither_o bring_v any_o false_a matter_n before_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o foolish_a farmer_n of_o

i_o will_v not_o &_o that_o you_o may_v credit_n my_o matter_n the_o better_a lo_o here_o be_v three_o witness_n that_o be_v by_o when_o he_o consent_v &_o agree_v that_o i_o shall_v take_v a_o lease_n of_o his_o farm_n &_o here_o be_v the_o gentleman_n his_o landlord_n that_o will_v affirm_v the_o same_o and_o then_o the_o gentleman_n say_v to_o the_o judge_n my_o lord_n you_o know_v we_o have_v a_o law_n that_o they_o that_o have_v any_o land_n house_n or_o ground_n here_o in_o the_o country_n of_o mauqsun_n may_v neither_o put_v out_o their_o tenant_n but_o for_o certain_a great_a

the_o judge_n that_o matter_n seem_v to_o be_v very_o apparent_a but_o i_o marvel_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o will_v before_o &_o so_o unwilling_a now_o belike_o say_v the_o gentleman_n he_o be_v

that_o i_o can_v find_v out_o the_o truth_n &_o that_o i_o will_v not_o take_v his_o part_n in_o wrong_n to_o be_v against_o my_o father_n in_o right_n if_o he_o have_v be_v disappoint_v of_o a_o
