only_o ¶_o homage_n auncestrell_n ¶_o tenant_n by_o homage_n auncestrel_n be_v he_o which_o hold_v his_o land_n of_o his_o lord_n by_o homage_n and_o both_o he_o and_o his_o ancestor_n who_o heir_n

land_n in_o fee_n simple_a and_o dye_v without_o issue_n of_o my_o body_n my_o father_n can_v not_o be_v my_o heir_n but_o my_o father_n brother_n or_o sister_n shall_v and_o than_o if_o my_o uncle_n
