this_o that_o whatever_o usage_n it_o meet_v with_o i_o may_v stand_v bind_v to_o recognize_v it_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v such_o a_o warrant_n to_o search_v for_o truth_n that_o will_v justify_v i_o in_o break_v through_o all_o craft_n and_o science_n to_o find_v it_o as_o hunger_n justify_v david_n and_o his_o man_n for_o enter_v the_o priest_n house_n and_o eat_v the_o shewbread_n and_o

bankrupcy_n eschaet_n and_o attainder_n now_o i_o be_o not_o a_o go_v to_o calumniate_v the_o law_n for_o allow_v of_o so_o many_o sort_n of_o encumbrance_n on_o land_n but_o for_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v do_v in_o diverse_a place_n which_o do_v render_v the_o title_n to_o land_n incertain_a and_o therefore_o be_v a_o deficiency_n in_o the_o law_n and_o though_o the_o law_n have_v direct_v several_a of_o they_o to_o be_v record_v yet_o this_o do_v not_o remedy_v the_o incertainty_n first_o because_o these_o record_n do_v lie_v in_o several_a place_n which_o make_v the_o search_n thereof_o chargeable_a and_o the_o find_v difficult_a second_o because_o those_o that_o be_v upon_o record_n have_v no_o preference_n above_o those_o that_o be_v not_o so_o that_o shall_v a_o purchaser_n discover_v all_o that_o be_v record_v he_o may_v be_v defeat_v by_o those_o that_o be_v not_o which_o can_v never_o be_v discover_v but_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o they_o that_o make_v they_o because_o they_o may_v be_v execute_v any_o where_n therefore_o the_o drift_n of_o this_o essay_n be_v to_o give_v a_o sanction_n to_o one_o place_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n by_o annex_v a_o privilege_n to_o it_o and_o leave_v it_o to_o every_o man_n pleasure_n whether_o he_o will_v purchase_v that_o privilege_n or_o not_o to_o show_v the_o necessity_n and_o conveniency_n whereof_o i_o
