England of some Hundreds of years after Domesday Book was made Viz. till 15 Hen. 8. according to our Chronicles But the word is mentioned in 1 Inst. fol. 5. b. Maihim or Mayhem But the cutting off an Ear or Nose or such like is no Mayhem This is otherwise since the Statute of 22 23 Car. 2. which was in Print before our Authors Book though since the Law Dictionary was published Maiden Rents Is a Noble paid by every Tenant in the Mannor of Builth in Radnorshire at the marriage of a Daughter and was anciently given to them for his quitting the Custom of Marcheta If any one would pretend to make sence of this to whom shall them and his relate Our Author is very unhappy in his alterations Marle Marla is a kind of Earth or Mineral like Chalk which men cast on their Land These two words like Chalk he adds to my Interpretation when as Marle is as like Chalk as Chalk is like Cheese Marlerium A Marlepit Mr. Dugdale hath an old Deed by him wherein is mentioned this word This is a pretty kind of impudence to make the World believe he is intimately acquainted with Mr. Dugdale and knows what old Deeds and Charters he has by him when as Mr. Dugdale lately told me discoursing of our Author that he knew him not nor ever heard of him till then And in the word Sacrafield Rents he pretends the like familiar acquaintance with a person of quality utterly unknown to him Mediterranean Is any that passeth through the midst of the Earth Whether he means any thing as Bull Bear or Horse I know not Mile Miliare is a quantity of a thousand Acres This I confess is a Mile of a large size perhaps according to the measure in the Isle of Pines Minstrel Minstrellus from the French Menstrel There is no such French word it is Menestrier In Misfeasans and Mistrial Cokes Reports are cited for Crokes Multa or Multura Episcopi is derived from the Latine word mulcta for that it was a Fine given to the Kings that they might have power to make their last Wills and Testaments 2 Inst fol. 491. Our Author by miswriting my words hath made nonsence yet boldly cites Cokes Institutes Nihil or Nichil Is a word which the Sheriff answers that is apposed concerning Debts illeviable and that are nothing worth by reason of the parties from whom due See the Law Dictionary on this word if our Author have not by his blundering alteration made it less intelligible at least Occasiones Are Assarts whereof Manhood speaks at large See Spel. Glossary verbo Essartum That learned Glossary says the word is in some Authors false written for Occationes from Occo to harrow or break Clods but our Author had not time to read him out Open Law Imperfection for Imputation Such smalnesses are frequent with him Oyer and Terminer A Commission of Oyer and Terminer is the first and largest Thus it ends abruptly leaving out two or three lines which should make it sence viz. Of the Five Commissions by which our Judges of Assise do sit in their several Circuits Pais A Countrey or Region which Spelman in his Glossary saith Non intelligendum est de quovis populo Here the Learned Spelman is false quoted for he speaks not these words of Pais but of Trial per Pais which our Author omitted as being obliged to make alterations Pannage or Pawnage Is most properly taken for the Woods within the Forest Which ought to be For the Mast of the Woods Pax Ecclesiae Is said when all the Priviledges and Immunities of the Church her Servants and Ministers Vide Leg. Edw. Conf. cap. 8. Here he pretends to translate my Citation being the very words of King Edwards Law and makes this nonsence of it In Pedage and Peers he cites Baldus in veribus Feudorum and Bartilayus de regno There is no such Book as the first nor any such Author as the last Pervise non ad tyrocinia juris quas motas volant exercenda says Spelman Another false quotation for vocant Poleine was a sort of shooe not utterly laid aside till the Reign of Hen. 8. in which time they were increased to that excessive length that in Rich. 2. time they were tied up to the knees with Gold or Silver Chains And forbidden by Edw. 4. under great penalty Does our Author think Rich. 2. succeeded Hen. 8. which his words seem cleerly to intimate Possession If the Lord purchase the tenancy held by Heriot-service then the Heriot is extinct by verity of possession We 'l suppose he intended to say unity Proporcitas Skene de verbo signif Latines it Proportio Assisae Skene calls it Proportatio Assisa in his de verborum significatione not verbo signif as our Author often mistakes it Pudhepec But the Learned Spelman thinks it is miswritten for the Sax. puchepec i. e. wudhepec This Saxon is Rudhewec as here written Spelman writes it better I le secure you but our Author has very ill luck in transcribing even from fair printed Books and it seems understands not the Saxon Characters The Law Dictionary begins the Letter Q. with Quadragesima Sunday but our Author was not willing to begin so lest it should look too much like alter-idem Therefore prepones Quadrans and Quadranta terrae and so poor Quadragesima has lost his due place in the Alphabes but Quack had he thought on 't would have done his work better and been as able a Law-word as Quadrans Quietantia Assisarum super Assisam Quod non ponantur in Assisis jurat nec magis Assisis For Juratis nec magnis Assisis Realty Sometimes it is taken for Royalty Never for they are two different words Recordare facias It seems to be called a Recordare because the form that it commands the Sheriff to whom it is directed to make a Record Of our Authors mistakes Renegeld infra hundred de Maulestria There is not such a Hundred in all England Rescyte As if Tenant for years brings he in Reversion comes in and prays to be received The Tenant it seems may bring what he will Rogus Constabulario Castri de Divis Custodi Forestae de Cippeham I see our Author by his writing it does not understand this Divis which should be Divisis or Divis with a Period for the Divizes in Wiltshire Scandalum magnatum And hath given name to wit granted to recover damage thereupon Then it seems to give name is to grant Scyre-gemot In this word Seldens Titles of Honor is misquoted Sea-rover See Privateer Anno 16. Car. 2. cap 6. Quere if not the same with Pyrate You must know all this except the Learned Quaere is in the Law Dict. where Privateer was misprinted for pirate but our Author neither makes Errata's to his own Works nor reads others Selda In the conclusion he adds to what the Law-Dict saith thus Selda also in Doomsday signifies a Wood of Sallows Willows and Withyes Which addition

Reasonable Aid In Common Law is a duty that the Lord of the Fee claimeth holding by Knights Service or in Soccage to marry his Daughter or make his son Knight I doubt our Author bears some malice to the Common Law else he could not have maimed so many of its Terms which are in several Books expounded to his hand It should be claimeth of his Tenants to make it sence Returns Certain set times in each of the four Terms Each Term consisting of 4 5 or 8 Returns The longest Term has but ● Returns as every Almanack will shew Rosemary Lat.
