do_v yet_o hitherto_o continue_v the_o name_n two_o conjecture_n i_o have_v of_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o name_n the_o one_o ground_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o descent_n and_o inheritance_n of_o these_o land_n themselves_o the_o other_o found_v upon_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o duty_n and_o service_n that_o they_o yield_v both_o which_o i_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o recite_v and_o yet_o leave_v to_o each_o man_n free_a choice_n to_o receive_v either_o or_o to_o refuse_v both_o as_o it_o shall_v best_o like_o he_o arise_v i_o gather_v by_o cornelius_n tacitus_n and_o other_o that_o the_o ancient_a german_n who_o offspring_n we_o be_v suffer_v their_o land_n to_o descend_v not_o to_o the_o elder_a son_n alone_o but_o to_o the_o whole_a number_n of_o their_o male_a child_n &_o i_o find_v in_o the_o 75._o chap._n of_o canutus_n law_n a_o king_n of_o this_o realm_n before_o the_o conquest_n that_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o father_n his_o heir_n shall_v divide_v both_o his_o good_n and_o his_o land_n amongst_o they_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o the_o next_o of_o the_o kindred_n do_v this_o inherit_v together_o i_o conjecture_v that_o therefore_o the_o land_n be_v call_v either_o gavelkyn_n in_o meaning_n giveall_n kin_n because_o it_o be_v give_v to_o all_o the_o next_o in_o one_o line_n of_o kindred_n or_o give_v all_o kind_n that_o be_v to_o all_o the_o male_a child_n for_o kind_n in_o dutch_a signify_v yet_o a_o male_a child_n beside_o this_o the_o welshman_n also_o who_o but_o now_o late_o lose_v this_o custom_n do_v in_o their_o language_n call_v this_o descent_n gwele_v and_o in_o their_o latin_a record_n lectus_fw-la progeny_n &_o gavella_fw-la of_o their_o own_o word_n gefeil_v which_o signify_v twin_n or_o such_o as_o be_v bear_v together_o because_o they_o do_v all_o inherit_v together_o and_o make_v as_o it_o be_v but_o one_o heir_n and_o not_o many_o and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n i_o can_v omit_v to_o show_v that_o they_o of_o this_o our_o kentish_a country_n term_n do_v yet_o call_v their_o partition_n of_o land_n shift_v even_o by_o the_o very_a same_o word_n that_o the_o law_n of_o canutus_n many_o year_n since_o term_v it_o namely_o scyftan_n in_o latin_a herciscere_fw-la that_o be_v to_o shift_v depart_v or_o divide_v land_n my_o other_o conjecture_n be_v raise_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o

abroad_o so_o this_o land_n be_v of_o socage_n tenure_n command_v his_o attendance_n at_o the_o plough_n and_o other_o the_o lord_n affair_n of_o husbandry_n at_o home_n the_o one_o by_o manhood_n defend_v his_o lord_n life_n and_o person_n the_o other_o by_o industry_n maintain_v with_o rent_n corn_n and_o victual_v his_o estate_n and_o family_n this_o rent_n and_o customary_a payment_n of_o

of_o the_o kind_n to_o yield_v rent_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o the_o rent_n custom_n and_o service_n which_o the_o tenante_n of_o london_n pay_v to_o their_o land_n lord_n be_v

be_v say_v let_v we_o proceed_v further_o custom_n it_o have_v already_o appear_v how_o the_o kentishman_n immediate_o after_o the_o conquest_n obtain_v the_o continuation_n of_o their_o custom_n

certain_a other_o point_n wherein_o they_o vary_v also_o as_o if_o the_o husband_n commit_v felony_n at_o the_o common_a law_n his_o wife_n have_v lose_v her_o title_n of_o dower_n but_o by_o the_o

h._n 3._o praescription_n 60._o at_o the_o common_a law_n also_o the_o wife_n shall_v be_v endow_v of_o a_o possession_n in_o law_n but_o as_o i_o think_v she_o shall_v have_v no_o dower_n by_o this_o

such_o other_o profit_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o word_n of_o this_o customary_a dower_n be_v terres_fw-la &_o tenement_n and_o for_o that_o all_o custom_n shall_v find_v a_o literal_a and_o straight_a interpretation_n the_o opinion_n of_o master_n parkins_n be_v that_o no_o dower_n lie_v of_o a_o fair_a by_o this_o custom_n furthermore_o if_o the_o wife_n recover_v her_o dower_n at_o the_o common_a law_n she_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v endow_v by_o meat_n and_o bound_n but_o in_o dower_n after_o this_o custom_n say_v the_o same_o author_n she_o may_v very_o well_o be_v endow_v of_o a_o moiety_n to_o be_v hold_v in_o common_a with_o the_o heir_n that_o enjoy_v the_o other_o half_a last_o this_o custom_n beside_o dower_n of_o the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o husband_n

issue_n whereas_o the_o common_a law_n at_o the_o least_o in_o common_a practice_n at_o this_o day_n have_v no_o consideration_n of_o any_o such_o endowment_n these_o than_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o common_a law_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o the_o particular_a custom_n of_o this_o country_n concern_v dower_n the_o comparison_n whereof_o and_o whether_o sort_n of_o dower_n be_v more_o

the_o resolution_n of_o which_o doubt_n will_v depend_v chief_o upon_o comparison_n whether_o it_o be_v more_o advantage_n to_o she_o to_o have_v the_o third_o at_o the_o common_a law_n absolute_o or_o the_o moiety_n by_o the_o custom_n conditional_o for_o if_o the_o dower_n at_o the_o common_a law_n be_v better_a for_o she_o than_o it_o seem_v reasonable_a that_o she_o shall_v stand_v to_o the_o worse_o which_o be_v the_o custom_n even_o as_o tenant_n by_o the_o courtesy_n must_v take_v the_o moiety_n that_o the_o custom_n give_v and_o not_o ask_v the_o whole_a as_o common_a law_n

which_o otherwise_o be_v unadvised_o make_v away_o may_v work_v his_o own_o impoverishment_n and_o overthrow_n and_o true_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o custom_n itself_o have_v a_o watchful_a
