And these Officers are twofold viz. of Receipt and of Expence Officers of Receipt are the Receiuers generall and particular the Storer Woodward Bayliffs Collectors and such other Ministers which haue the charge and receipt of the Lord his Rents and other profits of his Reuennue and these are all accomptable to the Auditor for the same Officers of Expence are the Steward of the house and vnder him all other Officers of the houshold which haue any charge imposed vpon them whereof they stand accomptable to him as the Gentleman of the horse Clerke of the Kitchin Baker Brewer Butler and such like all which for breuities sake I omit purposing in this discourse to entreate of none but such as are chiefly necessary for the managing of Land-Reuennue and which haue some charge imposed vpon them for which they stand accomptable to the Auditor And now that we haue sufficiently expressed what Officers are of necessity requisit to the well ordring mannaging of an honorable estate we will according to our former propoūded method set downe the particular dutie of each seuerall Officer as they fall out in order and dependance reseruing the Auditor for the last place because in his office as in a maine streame or Riuer the effects of all the other as the branches therof doe concurre and are made manifest CHAP. 2. Of the Office dutie choyse of a Surueyor THe Surueyor is an Officer of order one of the principall in an honorable Reuennue whose Office is to view and suruey all and singular the Honors Mannors Lordships lands and Tenements of his Lord and to search out all the profits Royalties priuiledges and customes thereunto belonging expressing the same orderly in his Bookes of Suruey and also to set downe and distinguish in his said Bookes the particular lands of euery Tenant within each Mannor truly butting bounding each seuerall parcell thereof and expressing the auncient names of the same the qualitie quantitie and yearely value of each mans Tenement the tenure by which he holdeth and the Rents and seruices yearly due and payable therefore with the Feasts and dayes of payment entering each tenure orderly and seuerally by it selfe To take notice of such encrochments concealements purprestures and such like as he shall meete withall in his view and perambulation and to certifie the Lord or his Commissioners therof that the same may be reformed or presented to the Iurie at the next Court and arented to the Lord his profit as also to enquire of Rents decayed and to doe his best endeauour to reuiue the same To make good formall Terrars or Rent-rolls out of his Bookes of Suruey expressing therein orderly all rents seruices and certaine profits within each Mannor and the times that they are due payable and to be performed and to deliuer the same to the Bayliffs wherby they may gather vp and collect the said profits and also see the seruices duly performed to the Lord his vse To make out Suite-rolls contayning all the Tenants names that owe suite of Court to the Lord his Mannors expressing therein each seuerall tenure by it selfe and what seruices and customes each Tenant holdeth by as fealtie homage reliefe c. and to deliuer the same to the seuerall Stewards that they may thereby call the Tenants at the Lord his Courts and be directed what to doe vpon euery change as death alienation surrender and such like And for the better performance of all these duties and whatsoeuer els is fitting to be required at the hands of this Officer he ought to be sufficiently skilfull in all the parts of Suruey viz. the Mathematicall Legall and Iudiciall which sufficiencie to obtaine he must be endued with these seuerall guifts or qualities following First he ought to haue the perfect vse of some Mathematicall Instrument as the plaine Table Theodelite Circumferentor or such like fitting for the vse of Suruey and also to be well seene in Arithmetick and the grounds of Geometrie whereby he may be able aswell to finde the errors which he may commit in platting of grounds or casting vp the contents and amend the same as also to proue the truth of his worke and to giue a reason thereof Secondly he ought to haue some ●easonable knowledge in the common Lawes especially in such generall points as are incident vnto and doe most concerne a Mannor or Lordship whereby he may be able to know and distinguish the seuerall tenures rents seruices Royalties and such like principall matters required in a Suruey and to expresse the same orderly in his Bookes Terrars Rent-rolls c. Thirdly he ought to be a reasonable good Clerke and to haue good skill in euidences of all sorts aswell ancient as moderne to be able to reade and vnderstand the same whether they be in latine French English or any other language heeretofore vsed in this land Fourthly he ought to haue good skill in the goodnesse of grounds and in the valuation of the profits commodities growing and arising out of the same as Timber vnderwoods Mynes Quarries c. as also in the valuation of lands or casual profits to be leased sold purchased or exchanged either present or in reuersion either in fee-simple fee-Farme vpon liues or terme of yeares c. And now that we haue sufficiently declared the office of a Surueyor and how to make choyse of him by the qualities he ought to be endued withall we will proceede a little further to shew the benefits and commodities that may and doe arise by this Officer executing his place honestly well which although for the most part they doe clearely shine and are manifest in that which we haue before spoken yet because this Officer of all others belonging to Reuennue is hardly thought of and most calumniated by such as either vnderstand not what vse to make of him or rather such whose close packing and secret iniuries are by him in danger to be laid open it shall not be amisse to explaine the profit of his facultie a little better Wherfore I haue heere laid downe the principall commodities of a good and absolute Suruey so farre as at this present my memorie will serue me in these six Articles following viz. Inprimis it is a good meanes to conserue the Rents and Customes of all natures from being concealed left or decayed or their natures by euill disposed Tenants or Officers any way altered or changed 2 Item to let hinder and auoyde encrochments that might be made betweene Lord and Lord Lord and Tenant and Tenant and Tenant or being formerly made to lay open and discouer the same as also in times to come to decide controuersies that may happen in this and diuers other cases 3 Item in letting and setting of lands in fineing of Coppy-holders in sale and exchange a perfect Suruey is able to enforme the qualitie quantitie value tenure and scituation aswell and better then any other view that can be taken besides And by perfect Surueyes so
