to_o be_v reform_v and_o that_o such_o allowance_n be_v not_o make_v without_o warrant_n from_o the_o lord_n treasurer_n or_o order_n of_o court_n and_o that_o a_o entry_n or_o memorandum_n thereof_o

or_o late_a attempt_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o great_a damage_n to_o the_o king_n by_o it_o for_o it_o be_v but_o the_o payment_n of_o one_o real_a debt_n with_o another_o but_o howsoever_o this_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v reform_v by_o order_n of_o the_o court_n that_o the_o sheriff_n deliver_v not_o in_o the_o roll_n of_o the_o vicontiel_n as_o be_v require_v by_o the_o statute_n and_o it_o be_v

than_o in_o the_o pipe_n and_o for_o want_v of_o a_o clear_a understanding_n of_o those_o intricate_a and_o obscure_a proceed_n of_o the_o pipe_n and_o upon_o a_o full_a search_n of_o the_o
