When the lease was to be sealed, Moxlay carried the document to 'a lower room next adjoining the hall of the said house,' where Moxlay read and sealed it. Samwell promised Woodliffe that, according to their agreement, Woodliffe should continue to occupy the parlour in which he and his wife then lodged until Woodliffe had built one on the other side of the yard.
