consonant_a to_o reason_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v that_o in_o the_o ancient_a time_n a_o knight_n fee_n be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o acre_n but_o in_o those_o day_n according_a to_o the_o value_n of_o the_o land_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o alteration_n be_v that_o though_o in_o ancient_a time_n as_o well_o as_o in_o these_o day_n some_o land_n be_v far_o more_o fruitful_a than_o other_o yet_o the_o value_n of_o every_o quantity_n of_o land_n be_v certain_o rate_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n and_o never_o upon_o any_o occasion_n be_v the_o land_n increase_v or_o decrease_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o to_o examine_v whether_o any_o man_n have_v a_o sufficient_a live_n for_o a_o knight_n they_o will_v look_v no_o further_o than_o to_o the_o quantity_n of_o his_o land_n for_o by_o the_o quantity_n they_o can_v present_o judge_v the_o value_n but_o now_o the_o value_n be_v not_o certain_o rate_v in_o any_o place_n but_o increase_v and_o decrease_v upon_o every_o occasion_n and_o therefore_o reason_n require_v that_o in_o these_o day_n a_o knight_n fee_n shall_v be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o value_n not_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o land_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a value_n of_o the_o land_n one_o man_n may_v be_v better_a able_a to_o maintain_v the_o dignity_n of_o a_o knight_n with_o two_o hundred_o acre_n in_o some_o place_n and_o of_o some_o land_n than_o another_o with_o four_o hundred_o acre_n of_o other_o land_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v whether_o a_o knight_n fee_fw-mi be_v rate_v according_a to_o the_o value_n or_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n let_v it_o here_o rest_n now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o examine_v at_o what_o time_n and_o by_o what_o law_n it_o be_v first_o provide_v that_o for_o every_o knight_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o knight_n revenue_n shall_v be_v pay_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o relief_n viz._n 5._o li._n for_o every_o baron_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o baron_n revenue_n viz._n one_o hundred_o mark_n for_o every_o earl_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o earl_n revenue_n viz._n one_o hundred_o pound_n sure_o relief_n be_v pay_v in_o this_o manner_n before_o the_o statute_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la 9_o glan_n will_v lib_n 9_o cap_n 9_o and_o that_o be_v somewhat_o pregnant_a by_o this_o that_o by_o the_o very_a word_n of_o that_o statute_n this_o relief_n be_v term_v antiquum_fw-la relevium_fw-la and_o by_o glanvil_n who_o write_v before_o the_o make_n of_o this_o statute_n this_o

relevis_fw-la suis_fw-la domino_fw-la regi_fw-la satisfacere_fw-la from_o whence_o i_o gather_v that_o statute_n of_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v in_o part_n a_o affirmance_n of_o the_o common_a law_n in_o part_n a_o institution_n of_o a_o new_a law_n touch_v relief_n pay_v by_o knight_n it_o be_v but_o a_o affirmance_n of_o the_o common_a law_n because_o they_o be_v certain_a before_o the_o statute_n touch_v relief_n pay_v by_o baron_n it_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o a_o new_a law_n because_o they_o be_v before_o uncertain_a and_o the_o reason_n why_o duke_n and_o viscount_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o this_o statute_n as_o well_o as_o earl_n baron_n and_o knight_n be_v this_o because_o when_o that_o statute_n be_v make_v there_o be_v neither_o duke_n marquesse_n or_o viscount_n in_o england_n the_o first_o duke_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o england_n sithence_o the_o conquest_n be_v the_o black_a prince_n elder_a son_n to_o ed._n the_o 3._o the_o first_o marquesse_n that_o ever_o

by_o h._n 6._o but_o though_o at_o the_o make_n of_o this_o statute_n these_o dignity_n be_v unknown_a yet_o they_o be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o statute_n and_o according_a to_o their_o several_a dignity_n shall_v pay_v relief_n unto_o the_o king_n a_o duke_n two_o hundred_o li._n a_o marquesse_n two_o hundred_o mark_n and_o so_o ratable_o and_o proportionable_o but_o to_o conclude_v let_v we_o compare_v herriot_n and_o relief_n together_o and_o observe_v in_o what_o they_o differ_v 1._o they_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o a_o herriot_n lie_v in_o prender_n and_o a_o

3._o in_o this_o that_o heriot_n be_v pay_v by_o copyholder_n as_o well_o as_o freeholder_n but_o relief_n by_o freeholder_n only_o 4._o in_o this_o that_o herriot_n be_v ever_o due_a upon_o a_o special_a reservation_n or_o upon_o some_o particular_a custom_n but_o relief_n be_v incident_a to_o the_o fee_n and_o be_v due_a without_o reservation_n or_o custom_n contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o vincentinus_fw-la who_o hold_v a_o relief_n extrinsecam_fw-la fore_fw-la praestationem_fw-la &_o non_fw-la in_o esse_fw-la feodo_fw-la thus_o much_o touch_v relief_n a_o word_n touch_v

court_n baron_n but_o to_o court_v leet_n only_o or_o other_o count_n it_o be_v of_o record_n 3._o that_o amerciament_n be_v incident_a unto_o every_o manor_n whatsoever_o but_o fynes_n be_v incident_a unto_o some_o few_o manor_n only_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v partly_o ground_v upon_o the_o former_a difference_n for_o sithence_o amerciament_n be_v incident_a unto_o
