the_o word_n be_v english_a or_o irish_a but_o i_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v rather_o ancient_a english_a for_o the_o irish_a man_n can_v make_v no_o derivation_n of_o they_o what_o livery_n be_v we_o by_o common_a use_n in_o england_n know_v well_o enough_o namely_o that_o it_o be_v allowance_n of_o horse-meat_n as_o they_o common_o use_v the_o word_n in_o stable_v as_o to_o keep_v horse_n at_o livery_n the_o which_o word_n i_o guess_v be_v derive_v of_o liver_v or_o deliver_v forth_o their_o nightly_a food_n so_o in_o great_a house_n the_o livery_n be_v say_v to_o be_v serve_v up_o for_o all_o night_n that_o be_v their_o evening_n allowance_n for_o drink_v and_o livery_n be_v also_o call_v the_o upper_a weed_n which_o a_o serve_a man_n wear_v so_o call_v as_o i_o suppose_v for_o that_o it_o be_v deliver_v and_o take_v from_o he_o at_o pleasure_n so_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o by_o the_o word_n livery_n be_v there_o mean_v horse_n meat_n like_v as_o by_o the_o word_n coigny_n be_v understand_v man_n meat_n but_o whence_o the_o word_n be_v derive_v be_v hard_a to_o tell_v some_o say_v of_o coin_n for_o that_o they_o use_v common_o in_o their_o coignies_n not_o only_o to_o take_v meat_n but_o coin_n also_o and_o that_o take_n of_o money_n be_v special_o mean_v to_o be_v prohibit_v by_o that_o statute_n but_o i_o think_v rather_o this_o word_n coigny_n be_v derive_v of_o the_o irish._n the_o which_o be_v a_o common_a use_n among_o land_n lord_n of_o the_o irish_a to_o have_v a_o common_a spend_v upon_o their_o tenant_n for_o all_o their_o tenant_n be_v common_o but_o tenant_n at_o will_n they_o use_v to_o take_v of_o they_o what_o victual_n they_o list_v for_o of_o victual_n they_o be_v wont_a to_o make_v small_a reckon_n neither_o in_o this_o be_v the_o tenant_n wrong_v for_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a and_o know_a custom_n and_o his_o lord_n common_o use_v so_o to_o covenant_n with_o he_o which_o if_o at_o any_o time_n the_o tenant_n dislike_v he_o may_v free_o depart_v at_o his_o pleasure_n but_o now_o by_o this_o statute_n the_o say_v irish_a lord_n be_v wrong_v for_o that_o he_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o customary_a service_n of_o the_o which_o this_o be_v one_o beside_o many_o other_o of_o the_o like_a as_o cuddy_n coshery_n bonnaght_n shrah_n sorehin_n and_o such_o other_o the_o which_o i_o think_v be_v custom_n at_o first_o bring_v in_o by_o the_o english_a upon_o the_o irish_a for_o they_o be_v never_o wont_n and_o yet_o be_v loath_a to_o yield_v any_o certain_a rent_n but_o only_o such_o spend_n for_o their_o common_a say_n be_v spend_v i_o and_o defend_v i_o eudox._n sure_o i_o take_v it_o as_o you_o say_v that_o therein_o the_o irish_a lord_n have_v wrong_v since_o it_o be_v a_o ancient_a custom_n and_o nothing_o contrary_a to_o law_n for_o to_o the_o willing_a there_o be_v no_o wrong_n do_v and_o this_o right_a well_o i_o wot_v that_o even_o here_o in_o england_n there_o be_v in_o many_o place_n as_o large_a custom_n as_o that_o of_o coignie_n and_o livery_n but_o i_o suppose_v by_o your_o speech_n that_o it_o be_v the_o first_o meaning_n of_o the_o statute_n to_o forbid_v the_o violent_a take_n of_o victual_n upon_o other_o man_n tenant_n against_o their_o will_n which_o sure_o be_v a_o great_a outrage_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o great_a i_o seem_v as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v treason_n for_o consider_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o treason_n be_v concern_v the_o royal_a estate_n or_o person_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o practise_v with_o his_o enemy_n to_o the_o derogation_n and_o danger_n of_o his_o crown_n and_o dignity_n it_o be_v hardly_o wrest_v to_o make_v this_o treason_n but_o as_o you_o erst_o say_v better_a a_o mischief_n then_o a_o inconvenience_n iren._n another_o

this_o seem_v a_o very_a necessary_a law_n for_o consider_v that_o many_o of_o they_o be_v such_o losell_n and_o scatterling_n as_o that_o they_o can_v easy_o by_o any_o sheriff_n constable_n
