as_o often_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o manor_n though_o for_o the_o better_a ease_n both_o of_o lord_n and_o tenant_n they_o be_v keep_v but_o very_o seldom_o but_o a_o

court-leet_n by_o the_o say_a statute_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o certo_fw-la loco_fw-la ac_fw-la determinato_fw-la within_o the_o precinct_n 3._o three_o in_o this_o that_o original_o court-baron_n belong_v unto_o inferior_a lord_n of_o manor_n but_o court-leet_n belong_v unto_o the_o king_n only_o 4._o four_o in_o this_o that_o court-baron_n be_v inseparable_o

the_o jury_n but_o freeholder_n in_o court-baron_n of_o the_o same_o manor_n but_o in_o court-leet_n stranger_n be_v oftentimes_o empanel_v 7._o seven_o in_o this_o that_o court-baron_n can_v subsist_v without_o two_o suitor_n ad_fw-la minimum_fw-la but_o court-leet_n can_v well_o subsist_v without_o any_o suitor_n 8._o eight_o in_o this_o that_o court-baron_n inquire_v of_o no_o offence_n commit_v against_o the_o protector_n but_o court-leet_n inquire_v of_o all_o offence_n under_o high-treason_n commit_v against_o the_o state_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o protector_n 9_o in_o many_o
