the children Of men TO pass over the time
Of their short pilgrimage in this vale Of
tears. We heartily pray Thee TO send
the Holy Spirit ist0 the hearts OF those

out the rents @. their houses and lands
nor yet take unreasonable fines and in

that the Inhabitants thereof may be able
both TO pay the rents, and also honestly

behave themselves in letting ouU their
tenements, lands ami pastures, that after
this life they may be received into ever
lasting dwelling places, through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
