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

also_o shall_v not_o the_o lord_n without_o any_o imputation_n of_o rack_a his_o tenant_n take_v what_o willing_o be_v offer_v he_o and_o true_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v this_o of_o most_o tenant_n that_o by_o ●eason_n of_o this_o greediness_n and_o spleen_n one_o against_o the_o other_o of_o hire_v and_o buy_v land_n they_o be_v more_o their_o own_o enemy_n enemy_n tenant_n be_v most_o their_o

buyer_n as_o seller_n thereof_o and_o great_a pity_n it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o redress_n therefore_o neither_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o a_o surveyor_n to_o value_v surveyor_n what_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 must_v be_v very_o judicious_a in_o the_o quality_n and_o quantity_n of_o the_o land_n or_o else_o his_o error_n must_v needs_o be_v great_a therefore_o i_o will_v wish_v all_o surveyor_n to_o be_v
