in_o dilucidate_v this_o point_n let_v we_o in_o few_o word_n learn_v the_o way_n how_o to_o examine_v the_o validity_n of_o a_o custom_n for_o our_o direction_n in_o this_o business_n we_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o observe_v these_o six_o rule_n which_o will_v serve_v we_o for_o exact_a trial_n 1._o custom_n and_o prescription_n ought_v to_o be_v reasonable_a and_o therefore_o a_o custom_n that_o no_o tenant_n of_o the_o manor_n shall_v put_v in_o his_o chattel_n to_o use_v his_o common_a in_o campis_n seminatis_fw-la after_o the_o corn_n sever_v until_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v in_o his_o chattel_n be_v a_o void_a custom_n because_o unreasonable_a for_o peradventure_o the_o lord_n will_v never_o put_v in_o his_o chattel_n and_o then_o the_o tenant_n shall_v lose_v their_o profit_n so_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o custom_n within_o his_o manor_n that_o if_o any_o man_n beast_n be_v take_v by_o he_o upon_o his_o demesne_n damage_n fesant_n that_o he_o may_v detain_v they_o until_o the_o owner_n of_o the_o beast_n give_v he_o such_o recompense_n for_o his_o harm_n as_o he_o himself_o shall_v request_v this_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a custom_n for_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n 2._o custom_n and_o prescription_n ought_v to_o be_v according_a to_o common_a right_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v to_o have_v of_o every_o copyholder_n belong_v to_o his_o manor_n for_o every_o court_n he_o keep_v a_o certain_a sum_n of_o money_n this_o be_v a_o void_a prescription_n because_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o common_a right_n for_o he_o ought_v for_o justice_n sake_n to_o do_v it_o gratis_o but_o if_o the_o lord_n prescribe_v to_o have_v a_o certain_a fee_n of_o his_o tenant_n for_o keep_v a_o extraordinary_a court_n which_o be_v purchase_v only_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o some_o particular_a tenant_n to_o take_v up_o their_o copyhold_n and_o such_o like_a this_o be_v a_o good_a prescription_n and_o according_a to_o common_a right_n 3._o they_o ought_v to_o be_v upon_o good_a consideration_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v that_o whosoever_o pass_v through_o the_o king_n high_a way_n which_o lie_v through_o his_o manor_n shall_v pay_v he_o a_o penny_n for_o pass_v this_o prescription_n be_v void_a because_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o a_o good_a consideration_n but_o if_o he_o will_v prescribe_v to_o have_v a_o penny_n of_o every_o one_o that_o pass_v over_o such_o a_o bridge_n within_o his_o manor_n which_o bridge_n the_o lord_n do_v use_v to_o repair_v this_o be_v a_o good_a prescription_n and_o upon_o a_o good_a consideration_n so_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v to_o have_v a_o fine_a at_o the_o marriage_n of_o his_o copyholder_n in_o which_o manor_n the_o custom_n do_v admit_v the_o husband_n to_o be_v tenant_n by_o the_o courtesy_n or_o the_o feme_fw-fr tenant_n in_o dower_n of_o a_o copyhold_n this_o prescription_n be_v good_a and_o upon_o a_o good_a consideration_n but_o in_o such_o manor_n where_o these_o estate_n be_v not_o allow_v the_o law_n be_v otherwise_o 4._o they_o ought_v to_o be_v compulsary_a and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v that_o every_o copyholder_n ought_v to_o give_v he_o so_o much_o every_o month_n to_o bear_v his_o charge_n in_o time_n of_o war_n this_o prescription_n be_v void_a but_o to_o prescribe_v they_o ought_v to_o pay_v so_o much_o money_n for_o that_o purpose_n be_v a_o good_a prescription_n for_o a_o payment_n be_v compulsary_a but_o a_o gift_n be_v arbitrary_a at_o the_o voluntary_a liberty_n of_o the_o giver_n 5._o they_o ought_v to_o be_v certain_a and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v that_o whensoever_o any_o of_o his_o copy-holders_n dye_n without_o heir_n that_o then_o another_o of_o the_o copyholder_n shall_v hold_v the_o same_o land_n for_o the_o year_n follow_v this_o prescription_n be_v void_a for_o the_o incertainty_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v prescribe_v to_o have_v of_o his_o copy-holders_n 2._o d._n a_o acre_n rent_n in_o time_n of_o war_n four_o penny_n a_o acre_n this_o prescription_n be_v certain_a enough_o 6._o they_o ought_v to_o be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o that_o allege_v the_o prescription_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o lord_n prescribe_v that_o the_o custom_n have_v always_o be_v within_o the_o manor_n that_o what_o distress_n soever_o be_v take_v within_o his_o manor_n for_o any_o common_a person_n cause_n be_v to_o be_v impound_v for_o a_o certain_a time_n within_o his_o pound_n this_o be_v no_o good_a prescription_n for_o the_o lord_n be_v hereby_o to_o receive_v a_o charge_n and_o no_o commodity_n but_o if_o the_o prescription_n go_v further_a that_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v for_o every_o beast_n so_o impound_v a_o certain_a sum_n of_o money_n this_o be_v a_o good_a prescription_n if_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v more_o full_o satisfy_v in_o the_o general_a knowledge_n of_o prescription_n and_o custom_n we_o shall_v find_v many_o maxim_n which_o make_v very_o material_a for_o this_o purpose_n among_o which_o i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o these_o three_o as_o most_o worthy_a of_o your_o observation_n 1._o thing_n gain_v by_o matter_n of_o record_n only_o can_v be_v challenge_v by_o prescription_n and_o

therefore_o no_o lord_n of_o a_o manor_n can_v prescribe_v to_o have_v felon_n good_n fugitive_n good_n d●odands_n and_o such_o like_a because_o they_o can_v be_v forfeit_v until_o it_o appear_v of_o record_n but_o wave_n estray_v wreck_n and_o such_o like_a may_v be_v challenge_v by_o prescription_n because_o they_o be_v gain_v by_o usage_n without_o matter_n of_o record_n 2._o a_o custom_n
