that_o without_o some_o kind_n of_o certainty_n neither_o law_n nor_o custom_n can_v be_v good_a for_o in_o divers_a case_n where_o one_o thing_n may_v be_v take_v to_o divers_a intent_n and_o the_o

of_o incertainety_n yet_o by_o circumstance_n and_o contingent_n the_o incertainty_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o certainty_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o manor_n will_v prescribe_v that_o

be_v that_o if_o a_o coppyholder_n die_v without_o heir_n that_o then_o the_o elder_a tenant_n of_o that_o name_n of_o the_o say_a manor_n shall_v have_v this_o land_n this_o be_v a_o good_a custom_n and_o contain_v in_o itself_o sufficient_a certainty_n if_o a_o coppyholder_n do_v surrender_v two_o acre_n of_o land_n into_o the_o lord_n hand_n the_o one_o to_o the_o use_n of_o i._o s._n and_o
