of_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o say_a deed_n in_o law_n and_o the_o chief_a question_n which_o be_v put_v to_o they_o be_v whether_o the_o deed_n do_v debar_v the_o late_a king_n of_o improvement_n as_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o manor_n to_o which_o their_o several_a judgement_n be_v give_v that_o it_o do_v mr._n hale_v give_v it_o under_o his_o hand_n in_o writing_n yet_o extant_a thus_o i_o

he_o do_v principal_o rely_v upon_o be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o real_a discharge_n of_o the_o waste_n of_o that_o liberty_n of_o improvement_n which_o the_o statute_n give_v he_o and_o though_o
