aforesaid by his certain writing obligatory
acknowledged himself to be held and firmly
bound unto the said Barton in the said

be paid to him the said Barton when
afterwards he should be thereunto required

required the said sum of one hundred and
fifty eight pound eleven Shillings
Current money, to him the said Barton
hath not rendered or paid, but the same
to the said Barton hitherto to render as
pay he hath altogether refused and still
doth refuse, wherefore the said Barton
saith he is the worse and hath damage
to the value of two hundred pounds Current
