bring_v in_o at_o the_o desire_n and_o with_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o incumbent_n be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o prejudice_n that_o the_o liedge_n may_v sustain_v through_o the_o delay_n it_o may_v occasion_v in_o the_o dispatch_n of_o justice_n by_o the_o debate_n and_o quarrelling_n that_o may_v arise_v betwixt_o two_o clerk_n in_o one_o office_n that_o be_v not_o in_o a_o good_a
