by_o the_o general_n custom_n be_v mean_v the_o ancient_a use_n and_o order_n of_o all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o ancient_a nature_n thereof_o of_o which_o let_v traveller_n first_o note_v

a_o note_n of_o singular_a favour_n and_o gratefulness_n of_o the_o king_n to_o honour_v his_o subject_n the_o which_o custom_n or_o the_o like_a though_o they_o be_v strange_a and_o not_o regular_a
