John Cook drew up the conveyances who hath often told me Devenish his right was as good as either Law or Ordinance could make it of which Devenish I took a Lease for three yeers in case Young lives so long for as much as I am to pay 13 l. per annum and yet by force of arms without any manner of proceedings at Law by the command and wil of the said T●uftees c. we are dispossessed of our just and legall possessions by the hands of the Sheriff of Surrey who if we could enjoy any Law as in the least we cannot is liable to repay all our wrongs c.
