Manors hereunder named have ceased for these three years last
past, to pay the rent due to the Lord of the Manor
hereunder likewise named, and the last tenants have (as is said)
forsaken and deserted them nor can any distress be found
upon the lands or the tenements for the levying of the said rent

the fourth of February next by themselves or attorney to shew
cause why the said land should not escheat to the Lord of the
Manor as aforesaid, according to the law and custom of
England in such case.
