much_o more_o the_o decay_a sommer-land_n which_o lie_v further_a from_o the_o fall_n as_o be_v manifest_v by_o the_o transaction_n of_o the_o lord_n bailiff_n and_o jurate_n of_o romney_n marsh_n the_o commissioner_n for_o walland_n marsh_n and_o the_o commissioner_n for_o the_o upper_a level_n and_o be_v declare_v in_o my_o remonstrance_n fol._n 13_o 14._o all_o which_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o since_o the_o year_n 1633._o the_o late_a drown_a land_n be_v then_o perfect_o drain_v as_o they_o now_o be_v both_o the_o late_a decay_a land_n and_o late_o drown_v land_n have_v be_v only_o

the_o late_a decay_a land_n at_o four_o penny_n per_fw-la acre_n large_a measure_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o wittersham_n indraught_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o whole_a rent_n and_o profit_n of_o all_o or_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o late_a drown_a land_n as_o they_o have_v be_v for_o fifty_o year_n past_a so_o may_v be_v for_o fifty_o year_n to_o come_v swallow_v up_o in_o

thereby_o yield_v to_o the_o owner_n thereof_o eighteen_o or_o twenty_o shilling_n per_fw-la acre_n clear_a yearly_a profit_n above_o all_o charge_n of_o scot_n so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v much_o
