unto_o you_o the_o dignity_n and_o estimation_n of_o copyholders_n by_o the_o antiquity_n and_o allowance_n of_o time_n and_o by_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o this_o realm_n it_o appear_v by_o

derecto_fw-la clauso_fw-la i_o will_v begin_v with_o his_o word_n and_o judgement_n in_o the_o same_o and_o proceed_v to_o other_o authority_n master_n fitz-herbert_n say_v that_o this_o term_n

by_o divers_a wrest_v to_o make_v no_o diversity_n between_o tenure_n in_o villeinage_n and_o tenure_n by_o copy_n of_o court_n role_n or_o base_a tenure_n wherein_o whatsoever_o interpretation_n may_v be_v make_v master_n fitz_n herbert_n meaning_n be_v very_o plain_a and_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a tenor_n be_v to_o be_v far_o otherwise_o understand_v as_o also_o i_o suppose_v all_o

but_o otherwise_o it_o be_v of_o the_o tenant_n in_o base_a fee_n and_o this_o it_o seem_v the_o say_a book_n of_o old_a tenure_n to_o be_v by_o mr._n fitzherbert_n mis-recited_n which_o i_o be_o the_o bold_a to_o affirm_v save_v the_o due_a reverence_n to_o his_o learning_n because_o one_o mr._n thornton_n of_o lincoln_n inn_n a_o man_n very_o learned_a in_o his_o late_a read_n there_o upon_o

and_o beside_o for_o the_o further_a credit_n of_o coppy-holds_a we_o ought_v to_o consider_v the_o great_a authority_n of_o mr._n littleton_n who_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o tenor_n do_v make_v a_o

a_o certain_a and_o indefeazable_a estate_n and_o not_o otherwise_o as_o if_o a_o tenant_n at_o will_n or_o at_o sufferance_n after_o he_o have_v occupy_v the_o land_n for_o ten_o year_n will_v prescribe_v to_o have_v the_o same_o for_o ten_o year_n this_o be_v not_o good_a but_o a_o tenant_n at_o will_n after_o the_o custom_n although_o he_o come_v in_o at_o the_o first_o by_o the_o lord_n

or_o prescription_n except_o in_o some_o case_n of_o necessity_n the_o lord_n of_o a_o manor_n or_o of_o a_o patronage_n for_o year_n or_o life_n may_v grant_v a_o copy_n in_o perpetuity_n or_o

to_o the_o second_o capacity_n must_v be_v in_o himself_o that_o do_v prescribe_v which_o ability_n and_o capacity_n must_v consist_v in_o the_o person_n of_o he_o that_o do_v prescribe_v for_o as_o
