Being as a light unto all the professors of the law, as well counsellors as atturneys, clerks, soliciters, scriveners, &c.

his_o land_n of_o the_o king_n or_o of_o any_o other_o lord_n by_o fealty_n and_o by_o certain_a rent_n or_o by_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o service_n and_o by_o certain_a rent_n this_o rent_n be_v

and_o unpaid_a the_o lord_n of_o who_o the_o land_n or_o tenement_n be_v so_o hold_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o fee-simple_n fee-tayl_n for_o term_v of_o life_n for_o year_n or_o at_o will_n may_v of_o common_a right_n enter_v and_o distrein_o for_o the_o rent_n though_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n at_o all_o nor_o cause_n of_o distress_n put_v in_o the_o deed_n or_o lease_n i_o say_v before_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o rent-service_n be_v to_o be_v couple_v and_o knit_v to_o the_o tenure_n for_o where_o no_o tenure_n be_v there_o can_v be_v no_o rent-service_n and_o therefore_o if_o
