                  Replicacon of the Said Lovelace is uncertaine Vagous & wants
                  forme, And that the Said Lovelace doth not Sett forth that there
                  were two parts of the Said Award according to the Condition afore
                  said And further that the Said Award is in it Self voyd in law in
                  regard the Arbitrators by law have not Power to determine the right
                  of ffree hold And likewise that ye submission was onely of lands in the
                  possession of the said Lovelace And therefore to award that the said

                  William & that the same Plea and the matter therein contained the
                  said Lovelace is ready to verify & prove as the Court shall Award,
                  And because the said William to the plea aforesaid doth not answr
                  nor the Same in any thing doth gainesay Therefore the said Love-
                  lace as before Prayeth Judgment and his debt aforesaid with his
