consonant_a to_o reason_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o think_v that_o in_o the_o ancient_a time_n a_o knight_n fee_n be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o acre_n but_o in_o those_o day_n according_a to_o the_o value_n of_o the_o land_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o alteration_n be_v that_o though_o in_o ancient_a time_n as_o well_o as_o in_o these_o day_n some_o land_n be_v far_o more_o fruitful_a than_o other_o yet_o the_o value_n of_o every_o quantity_n of_o land_n be_v certain_o rate_v according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n and_o never_o upon_o any_o occasion_n be_v the_o land_n increase_v or_o decrease_v and_o therefore_o be_v they_o to_o examine_v whether_o any_o man_n have_v a_o sufficient_a live_n for_o a_o knight_n they_o will_v look_v no_o further_o than_o to_o the_o quantity_n of_o his_o land_n for_o by_o the_o quantity_n they_o can_v present_o judge_v the_o value_n but_o now_o the_o value_n be_v not_o certain_o rate_v in_o any_o place_n but_o increase_v and_o decrease_v upon_o every_o occasion_n and_o therefore_o reason_n require_v that_o in_o these_o day_n a_o knight_n fee_n shall_v be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o value_n not_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o land_n for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a value_n of_o the_o land_n one_o man_n may_v be_v better_a able_a to_o maintain_v the_o dignity_n of_o a_o knight_n with_o two_o hundred_o acre_n in_o some_o place_n and_o of_o some_o land_n than_o another_o with_o four_o hundred_o acre_n of_o other_o land_n but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v whether_o a_o knight_n fee_fw-mi be_v rate_v according_a to_o the_o value_n or_o according_a to_o the_o quantity_n let_v it_o here_o rest_n now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o examine_v at_o what_o time_n and_o by_o what_o law_n it_o be_v first_o provide_v that_o for_o every_o knight_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o knight_n revenue_n shall_v be_v pay_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o relief_n viz._n 5._o li._n for_o every_o baron_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o baron_n revenue_n viz._n one_o hundred_o mark_n for_o every_o earl_n fee_n the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o earl_n revenue_n viz._n one_o hundred_o
