fact_n and_o practice_n to_o which_o i_o reply_v you_o say_v the_o court_n condemn_v i_o for_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o practice_n be_v it_o so_o but_o i_o say_v that_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o

to_o remove_v you_o from_o the_o same_o they_o tell_v i_o the_o motion_n be_v very_o fair_a and_o the_o way_n like_o unto_o a_o disputant_n and_o thereupon_o conclude_v in_o my_o hear_n and_o direct_v
