To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this ought to be by long continuance of time, the contrary whereof man's memory cannot discern ; for at this day a Mannor cannot be made because a Court-Baron cannot be made, and a Mannor cannot be without a Court-Baron and Suitors and Freeholders, two at the least ; for if all the Freeholds except one escheat to the Lord, or if he purchase all | except one, there his Mannor is gone, for that it can- • not be a Mannor without a Court Baron (as is afore- said) and a Court-Baron cannot be hol...den but before Suitors, and not before one Suitor; and therefore where but one Freehold or Freeholder is, there can- not be a Mannor properly, although in common speech it may be so called. Mansion (Mansio) is most commonly taken for the Chief Messuage or habitation of the Lord of a Man- nor, the Mannor-House where he doth most reside, his Capital Messuage as it is called ; of which the wife by the Statute of Magna Charta, chapter 7. shall have her Quarantine." * It will be noticed that in this description the Court- Leet is not mentioned.
