such_o alteration_n i_o know_v may_v happen_v many_o much_o different_a one_o from_o another_o though_o ground_v all_o upon_o the_o same_o reason_n but_o i_o speak_v it_o of_o such_o especial_o as_o proceed_v from_o variety_n of_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n in_o matter_n of_o right_n and_o wrong_n now_o the_o power_n of_o custom_n in_o all_o these_o change_n alteration_n difference_n according_a to_o variety_n both_o of_o time_n and_o place_n be_v twofold_a first_o in_o that_o most_o of_o these_o difference_n and_o alteration_n have_v their_o beginning_n from_o custom_n which_o by_o continuance_n do_v not_o only_o get_v the_o strength_n of_o law_n and_o go_v for_o law_n in_o all_o place_n but_o also_o common_o beget_v law_n proper_o so_o call_v for_o that_o be_v the_o original_n of_o most_o law_n in_o most_o place_n and_o it_o be_v both_o a_o witty_a and_o a_o true_a speech_n of_o he_o that_o first_o as_o i_o find_v in_o suidas_n and_o other_o define_v custom_n to_o be_v

by_o many_o as_o the_o most_o acceptable_a so_o the_o most_o natural_a and_o obligatorie_n law_n that_o be_v as_o be_v not_o the_o invention_n of_o any_o one_o single_a man_n but_o of_o long_a time_n and_o experience_n dio_fw-mi chrysostomus_n be_v very_o rethoricall_a upon_o this_o subject_n and_o more_o rethoricall_a than_o sound_n sometime_o as_o when_o he_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o it_o be_v more_o proper_a for_o man_n that_o be_v free_a to_o be_v govern_v by_o custom_n as_o for_o man_n that_o serve_v by_o law_n whereas_o indeed_o true_a liberty_n do_v consist_v in_o this_o to_o be_v subject_a unto_o reason_n whether_o command_v unto_o we_o by_o law_n or_o recommend_v by_o custom_n but_o certain_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o any_o kingdom_n to_o be_v

rather_o because_o some_o learned_a man_n i_o see_v be_v of_o opinion_n that_o jus_o consuetudinarium_fw-la and_o consuetudo_fw-la in_o point_n of_o law_n be_v phrase_n of_o latter_a age_n only_o
