year_n they_o impose_v above_o twenty_o thousand_o pound_n upon_o the_o inheritor_n estate_n in_o the_o salt-spring_n without_o their_o consent_n wherefore_o for_o prevention_n of_o the_o like_a oppression_n for_o the_o future_a the_o principal_a proprietor_n do_v obtain_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n in_o the_o first_o session_n of_o their_o present_a majesty_n reign_n but_o do_v not_o then_o
