as_o appear_v by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o exchequer_n 83400_o l._n which_o be_v since_o repay_v by_o these_o present_a lord_n commissioner_n and_o be_v discharge_v in_o the_o exchequer_n this_o

another_o place_n when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o deduction_n my_o lord_n danby_n make_v from_o the_o charge_n it_o be_v likewise_o very_o true_a that_o mr._n charles_n duncombe_n do_v
