sibi_fw-la de_fw-la maletoltis_n quas_fw-la faciet_fw-la rex_fw-la as_o touch_v the_o word_n toll_n toll_n derivation_n of_o the_o word_n toll_n which_o they_o say_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o toll_n for_o passage_n and_o for_o buy_v and_o sell_v in_o fair_n and_o market_n it_o behoove_v i_o to_o say_v something_o of_o the_o derivation_n thereof_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v very_o often_o use_v in_o our_o ancient_a statute_n and_o record_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v in_o this_o place_n and_o by_o the_o derivation_n thereof_o the_o natural_a and_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v best_o understand_v i_o hold_v it_o therefore_o to_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o latin_a word_n teolonium_n which_o signify_v custom_n by_o cut_v off_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o word_n and_o retain_v only_o the_o first_o part_n teol_n by_o contraction_n toll_n of_o which_o manner_n of_o derivation_n there_o be_v infinite_a example_n in_o our_o language_n the_o latin_a teolonium_n as_o say_v calvin_n in_o his_o lexicon_fw-la juris_fw-la civilis_fw-la be_v derive_v from_o the_o greek_a telos_n which_o signify_v aswell_o custom_n as_o it_o do_v finis_fw-la hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o customer_n be_v call_v in_o latin_a telonarii_n thus_o you_o see_v that_o the_o genuine_a and_o primative_a signification_n of_o our_o word_n toll_n be_v no_o other_o than_o custom_n upon_o merchandize_n from_o the_o word_n toll_n be_v come_v those_o two_o barbarous_a latin_a word_n find_v in_o our_o statute_n and_o record_n toltum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o word_n use_v in_o the_o record_n of_o 16_o h._n 6._o but_o even_o now_o vouch_v by_o i_o and_o tolnetum_n the_o original_a word_n in_o the_o statute_n now_o in_o question_n which_o i_o must_v confess_v be_v also_o in_o our_o law_n latin_a use_v by_o we_o for_o toll_n in_o the_o market_n and_o toll_n for_o passage_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o register_n and_o the_o book_n of_o enetry_n but_o in_o this_o place_n malum_fw-la tolnetum_fw-la proper_o signify_v not_o a_o toll_n in_o the_o common_a sense_n but_o a_o unlawful_a charge_n lay_v by_o the_o king_n upon_o merchandize_n as_o a_o increase_n of_o custom_n according_a to_o the_o primitive_a signification_n which_o be_v evident_o prove_v in_o that_o it_o be_v here_o oppose_v to_o old_a and_o rightful_a custom_n sine_fw-la omnibus_fw-la malis_fw-la tolnetis_fw-gr per_fw-la certas_fw-la &_o antiquas_fw-la consuetudines_fw-la wherefore_o it_o ought_v so_o to_o have_v be_v translate_v for_o so_o it_o signify_v without_o imposition_n by_o the_o old_a and_o rightful_a custom_n this_o exposition_n and_o translation_n be_v further_o warrant_v by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n maletolt_n so_o often_o find_v in_o our_o ancient_a statute_n &_o record_n which_o without_o scruple_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o latin_a malum_fw-la tolnetum_n the_o very_a word_n of_o our_o statute_n i_o find_v it_o diverse_o write_v maletout_a maletolt_n maletot_n and_o sometime_o maletent_a but_o i_o never_o find_v it_o any_o where_o use_v in_o any_o other_o sense_n then_o for_o a_o imposition_n by_o way_n of_o increase_n of_o custom_n upon_o merchandize_n sometime_o indeed_o but_o that_o very_o rare_o it_o be_v take_v in_o the_o best_a sense_n for_o lawful_a and_o rightful_a custom_n as_o the_o word_n imposition_n sometime_o be_v but_o then_o common_o it_o be_v accompany_v with_o another_o word_n to_o free_v it_o from_o the_o worst_a sense_n as_o droiturel_fw-fr maletout_fw-fr etc._n etc._n that_o malis_fw-la tolnetis_fw-gr be_v in_o this_o place_n ought_v to_o be_v translate_v imposition_n may_v be_v far_o prove_v by_o that_o which_o i_o find_v in_o a_o writer_n of_o the_o french_a history_n one_o jean_n serres_n who_o say_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o philip_n le_fw-fr beau_n king_n of_o france_n which_o be_v about_o the_o time_n of_o ed._n 3._o king_n of_o england_n there_o be_v rebellion_n in_o france_n because_o of_o imposition_n lay_v by_o the_o k._n which_o in_o those_o day_n they_o do_v say_v he_o call_v maletouts_o the_o very_a word_n then_o ancient_o use_v in_o engl._n for_o imposition_n as_o may_v plentiful_o appear_v by_o the_o statute_n and_o record_n of_o h._n 3._o ed._n 1._o ed._n 2._o &_o ed._n 3._o imposition_n the_o word_n imposition_n for_o the_o word_n imposition_n be_v not_o use_v in_o any_o french_a record_n statute_n or_o other_o for_o aught_o i_o have_v see_v till_o ed._n 3._o i_o find_v it_o once_o use_v in_o latin_a 12._o ed._n 3._o in_o the_o letter_n which_o king_n edward_n the_o three_o write_v to_o the_o archbishop_n to_o excuse_v he_o to_o the_o people_n for_o lay_v imposition_n and_o as_o all_o that_o letter_n throughout_o be_v of_o a_o eloquent_a stile_n so_o as_o it_o seem_v he_o be_v careful_a to_o avoid_v also_o that_o barbarous_a word_n malum_fw-la tolnetum_fw-la though_o common_a and_o familiar_a and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o to_o use_v the_o pure_a latin_a word_n impositio_fw-la silvius_n write_v upon_o tully_n oration_n for_o marcus_n fonteius_n where_o these_o word_n be_v use_v by_o tully_n imposuit_fw-la vectigal_a say_v ita_fw-la usitatum_fw-la vulgo_fw-la est_fw-la ut_fw-la vectigalia_fw-la nova_fw-la appellent_fw-la impositiones_fw-la the_o word_n vectigal_n in_o this_o place_n though_o in_o a_o general_a sense_n it_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o revenue_n whatsoever_o yet_o with_o the_o civil_a lawyer_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o excellence_n common_o use_v for_o custom_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o calvin_n in_o his_o lexicon_n vectigal_n quod_fw-la fisco_fw-la vel_fw-la reipubl_n portorii_fw-la nomine_fw-la pendintur_fw-la id_fw-la est_fw-la pro_fw-la mercibus_fw-la quae_fw-la invehuntur_fw-la vel_fw-la evehuntur_fw-la sometime_o they_o use_v to_o join_v with_o it_o for_o a_o more_o clear_a distinction_n the_o word_n portorium_n as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v the_o revenue_n of_o the_o port_n agreeable_a with_o which_o upon_o some_o record_n of_o henry_n the_o three_o time_n i_o have_v find_v it_o to_o be_v call_v exitus_fw-la portuum_fw-la by_o this_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o impositio_fw-la in_o pure_a latin_a and_o imposition_n in_o english_a be_v the_o same_o with_o maletolt_n in_o french_a and_o malum_fw-la tolnetum_fw-la in_o our_o law_n latin_a and_o they_o do_v all_o signify_v a_o new_a increase_n of_o custom_n and_o not_o any_o thing_n else_o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o these_o word_n sine_fw-la malis_fw-la tolnetis_fw-gr in_o our_o present_a statute_n be_v natural_o and_o proper_o to_o be_v expound_v and_o understand_v of_o imposition_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v translate_v and_o not_o as_o they_o be_v and_o although_o the_o word_n imposition_n itself_o as_o also_o the_o word_n maletout_a and_o malum_fw-la tolnetum_fw-la may_v be_v as_o i_o have_v confess_v take_v as_o well_o for_o a_o new_a increase_n of_o custom_n by_o a_o lawful_a mean_n viz._n by_o assent_n in_o parliament_n as_o for_o a_o increase_n of_o custom_n by_o the_o king_n absolute_a power_n which_o be_v unlawful_a yet_o by_o the_o word_n that_o immediate_o follow_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o statute_n do_v only_o intend_v unlawful_a imposition_n that_o be_v imposition_n lay_v by_o the_o king_n absolute_a power_n without_o assent_n in_o parliament_n otherwise_o will_v they_o not_o have_v be_v oppose_v to_o due_a and_o rightful_a custom_n as_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o statute_n they_o be_v but_o because_o there_o have_v be_v some_o exception_n also_o take_v to_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o word_n custom_n in_o that_o sense_n in_o which_o i_o take_v it_o that_o be_v for_o custom_n upon_o merchandise_n for_o that_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v consuetudo_fw-la expound_v the_o word_n custom_n custuma_n and_o consuetudo_fw-la expound_v which_o signify_v a_o usage_n and_o not_o custuma_n which_o be_v the_o latin_a word_n we_o now_o use_v for_o custom_n upon_o merchandise_n it_o behoove_v i_o therefore_o to_o say_v something_o touch_v these_o word_n consetudo_fw-la and_o custuma_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o scruple_n this_o word_n consuetudo_fw-la in_o his_o first_o and_o proper_a signification_n do_v i_o confess_v signify_v a_o usage_n or_o practice_v of_o a_o thing_n time_n out_o of_o mind_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o record_n in_o the_o time_n of_o h._n 3._o and_o ed._n 1._o this_o word_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n be_v apply_v to_o all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o duty_n belong_v to_o the_o crown_n by_o reason_n of_o trade_n as_o consuetudo_fw-la aquae_fw-la thamesis_n consuetudo_fw-la piscis_fw-la venientis_fw-la ad_fw-la vicum_fw-la pontis_fw-la london_n consuetudo_fw-la quae_fw-la voco_fw-la scavagium_fw-la consuetudo_fw-la quae_fw-la voco_fw-la gage_n but_o yet_o more_o special_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o that_o duty_n which_o we_o follow_v the_o
