no_o certainty_n now_o by_o reason_n of_o latent_fw-la deed_n 2._o it_o will_v prevent_v fraud_n in_o buy_v and_o sell_v borrow_v and_o lend_v the_o borrower_n can_v not_o impose_v upon_o the_o

of_o it_o the_o prospect_n of_o which_o have_v hitherto_o prevent_v the_o obtain_v this_o desire_a liberty_n 1._o this_o will_v prevent_v great_a number_n of_o law-suit_n for_o which_o there_o will_v
