stitched to the first sheet. A line which was formerly covered by

the paper being cut_) thei toke the seid Thomas with ought warant,
afftre trobillyng of the lete.’]

[Footnote 172.2: A word illegible.]
[Footnote 172.3: So in MS.]
[Footnote 172.4: _Supersedeas_ is a writ to stay certain
proceedings; _supplicavit_ a writ for taking surety of the peace
when violence is threatened by any one.]
