So this woman was Divet. 2She was a rich woman, she had her lands by the […]. He was a Gentleman of along nose. Such a cup, such a cover. She would not depart from her own. This Sheriff was a covetous man, a worldly man. The Judge at the enpanelyng of the quest, had his grave looks, and charged them with this. It was the Kings matter, look well upon it.

I would wish that of such a Judge in […] now, we might have yt skin hanged up.
