his_o young_a son_n sec_n xlviii_o the_o main_a reason_n insist_v upon_o in_o defence_n of_o intail_v copyhold_n be_v these_o 1._o in_o divers_a manor_n they_o have_v be_v from_o time_n to_o time_n

none_o can_v bring_v but_o tenant_n in_o tail_n 3._o a_o remainder_n limit_v upon_o such_o a_o estate_n in_o such_o manor_n have_v be_v allow_v and_o therefore_o be_v no_o fee_n conditional_a for_o upon_o a_o fee_n whether_o absolute_a or_o conditional_a a_o render_v can_v by_o no_o mean_n depend_v 4._o it_o be_v a_o common_a usage_n there_o by_o a_o recovery_n to_o dock_n intayle_n of_o copyhold_n or_o to_o defeat_v these_o estate_n by_o presentment_n that_o the_o copyholder_n have_v commit_v a_o forfeiture_n and_o so_o the_o lord_n to_o seize_v and_o then_o to_o surrender_v it_o to_o the_o purchaser_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v not_o that_o inconvenience_n which_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o copyhold_n scilicet_fw-la want_v of_o power_n to_o dispose_v of_o such_o a_o estate_n without_o the_o lord_n consent_n 5._o much_o inconvenience_n will_v depend_v upon_o this_o if_o copyhold_n may_v not_o be_v entail_v for_o it_o will_v tend_v to_o the_o subversion_n and_o destruction_n of_o many_o man_n estate_n which_o from_o time_n to_o time_n they_o have_v enjoy_v without_o contradiction_n and_o therefore_o for_o the_o quiet_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n how_o necessary_a it_o be_v that_o copyhold_n shall_v be_v intayled_a let_v any_o man_n judge_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o several_a estate_n of_o the_o copyhold_n a_o word_n of_o their_o several_a quality_n
