Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"

But this custome hath beene
somewhat shaken, in comming to triall, and laboureth of a dangerous
Feuer, though the Cornish Gentlemen vse all possible remedies of
almost fas et nefas, by pleading the 11. poynts of the Lawe, to
keepe it on liue.
The free Tenants seruices, are ordinary with those of other places,
saue that they pay in most places onely fee-Morton releeses, which is
after fiue markes the whole Knights fee, (so called of Iohn Earle
first of Morton, then of Cornwall, and lastly King of this Land)
whereas that of fee-Gloucester is fiue pound. And to accomplish
this part, I haue heere inserted a note of the Cornish Knights fees
and acres, which I receyued from my learned and religious kinseman
Master Robert Moyle.
