and_o therefore_o the_o say_a jones_n have_v cause_n to_o say_v from_o such_o court_n and_o such_o proceed_n good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o and_o whereas_o the_o say_v jones_n be_v inform_v that_o sir_n

to_o have_v two_o string_n to_o his_o bow_n the_o say_a jones_n do_v humble_o desire_v sir_n george_n to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v every_o man_n concern_v to_o do_v his_o best_a and_o use_v the_o

not_o sufficient_a fee_n to_o speak_v grandfather_n time_n must_v show_v but_o whether_o because_o one_o sergeant_n speak_v so_o much_o and_o other_o say_v nothing_o at_o all_o prohibition_n wear_v overthrow_v in_o westminster-hall_n shall_v be_v lest_o to_o consideration_n however_o the_o say_v jones_n say_v that_o he_o be_v encourage_v to_o take_v this_o way_n because_o divers_a of_o the_o king_n subject_n have_v thereby_o have_v relief_n former_o from_o the_o power_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n who_o be_v under_o the_o same_o circumstance_n and_o therefore_o the_o say_a jones_n do_v humble_o pray_v sir_n george_n jefferies_n to_o consider_v that_o not_o every_o cause_n he_o have_v manage_v either_o for_o the_o plaintiff_n or_o defendant_n have_v go_v currant_n before_o the_o

and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o one_o or_o other_o of_o these_o thing_n have_v attend_v poor_a jones_n and_o other_o who_o have_v proceed_v by_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o
