    So Lucy dear I now do hear you are up
    for one thousand pounds to protect you from
    your enemies by which you are surround.

    Michael Biern he will lead you to heaven as he did to Edwardstown.

    I do resigne for eloping with you Lucy

    time is expired I will go and earn my bread so in spite of my friends and parents
    I will have you Lucy Webb.
