which_o be_v now_o in_o life_n have_v once_o receyve_v the_o homage_n of_o his_o tenant_n he_o ought_v to_o warrant_v the_o same_o tenant_n what_o time_n so_o ever_o he_o shall_v be_v implead_v or_o

now_o all_o that_o be_v not_o knight_n seruyce_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o of_o socage_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n hold_v by_o fealtye_n only_o or_o by_o fealtye_n &_o homage_n for_o all_o
