by the afd Thomas before that time Sold and Delivered and so thereof being Indebted the
Same John in Consideration thereof upon himselfe assumed and to the Same Thomas then and

and pay   Nevertheless the said John his Promise and assumption afd in form afd made Little
Regarding and plotting and fraudulently Intending the said Thomas in that part Craftilly
and Subtilly to defraud and Deceive he the afd Sum of thirty pounds or any part thereof
unto the same Thomas hath not paid or him for it in any wise Contented altho' the said John the
same to do afterwards to wit the same day and Year afd at the County afd and within the afd

the force and Injury when &c and saith that he Cannot gainsay the action of the afd Thomas nor but
that he did assume upon himselfe in manner and form as the afd Thomas above against him hath
Complained neither Can he Say but that the said Thomas hath Sustained damages by occasion of
the Non performance of his promise and assumption afd to thirty pounds Curr.t mony and the
