that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o say_a verderor_n be_v judge_n of_o record_n and_o have_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o roll_n for_o matter_n of_o the_o forest_n until_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n justice_n in_o eyre_n of_o the_o forest_n therefore_o if_o the_o forester_n do_v take_v any_o offender_n with_o the_o manner_n offend_v in_o vert_fw-fr in_o the_o forest_n they_o be_v to_o attach_v he_o by_o the_o body_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o before_o the_o verderor_n and_o then_o they_o may_v take_v a_o recognizance_n of_o the_o offender_n and_o his_o pledge_n to_o answer_v the_o same_o offence_n in_o the_o eyre_n of_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o forest_n because_o they_o be_v judge_n of_o record_v and_o therefore_o they_o may_v take_v a_o recognizance_n in_o this_o case_n and_o so_o may_v not_o the_o forester_n do_v for_o they_o be_v no_o judge_n of_o record_v but_o accuser_n of_o offender_n &_o presenter_n of_o offence_n do_v by_o other_o in_o the_o forest_n before_o the_o say_a verderor_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o that_o the_o say_a verderor_n be_v man_n that_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v learned_a and_o well_o practise_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o forest_n and_o such_o offender_n must_v be_v bail_v and_o mainprise_v according_a to_o the_o quality_n &_o degree_n of_o their_o offence_n in_o some_o case_n by_o two_o pledge_n and_o in_o other_o some_o case_n by_o four_o six_o or_o eight_o pledge_n and_o in_o some_o other_o case_n the_o offender_n be_v not_o to_o be_v bail_v at_o all_o by_o the_o say_a verderor_n or_o forester_n as_o it_o have_v be_v already_o show_v before_o nor_o yet_o by_o any_o other_o person_n but_o only_o by_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n in_o eyre_n of_o the_o forest_n or_o by_o the_o chief_a warden_n of_o the_o forest_n and_o then_o if_o the_o forester_n or_o other_o officer_n of_o the_o forest_n that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o forest_n shall_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o bail_v such_o offender_n no_o doubt_n but_o great_a inconvenience_n will_v ensue_v thereby_o aswell_o unto_o the_o king_n as_o also_o to_o the_o offender_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o such_o offender_n be_v most_o meet_a to_o be_v bail_v by_o the_o foresay_a verderor_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o say_a verderor_n may_v bail_v they_o according_a to_o the_o very_a law_n of_o the_o forest_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n the_o law_n have_v provide_v and_o appoint_v a_o steward_n that_o must_v be_v learn_v in_o those_o law_n to_o join_v with_o they_o and_o to_o direct_v they_o in_o their_o proceed_n according_a to_o the_o same_o law_n and_o when_o such_o offender_n be_v bail_v before_o the_o say_a verderor_n than_o the_o same_o verderor_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o same_o recongnizance_n for_o the_o king_n use_n until_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n justice_n in_o eyre_n of_o the_o forest_n and_o also_o to_o cause_v the_o forester_n to_o present_v the_o same_o offence_n in_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v do_v and_o then_o such_o presentment_n to_o be_v enter_v in_o the_o roll_n of_o the_o verderor_n according_o whereas_o if_o the_o forester_n when_o they_o have_v arrest_v such_o a_o offender_n may_v bail_v such_o offender_n themselves_o at_o their_o own_o will_n &_o pleasure_n without_o the_o verderor_n there_o may_v be_v great_a partiality_n
