the_o revenous_a beast_n discover_v and_o the_o devourer_n pursue_v in_o a_o short_a account_n true_o state_v of_o the_o unjust_a proceed_n and_o cruel_a deal_n by_o dove_n williamson_n priest_n of_o elton_n in_o the_o county_n of_o nottingham_n against_o william_n claytor_n of_o the_o same_o town_n william_n claytor_n be_v a_o farmer_n painful_o labour_v to_o provide_v for_o his_o family_n and_o
