that_o there_o be_v nothing_o instruct_v against_o the_o forfeiture_n be_v most_o calumnious_a and_o false_a whereas_o it_o be_v allege_v that_o albeit_o the_o warrant_n of_o the_o decreet_a 1651_o

to_o what_o be_v assert_v of_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n concern_v extract_n for_o those_o year_n it_o be_v most_o calumnious_a the_o lord_n not_o sustain_v such_o extract_n to_o satisfy_v the_o
