| V. Custos autem, quamdiu custodiam terre habuerit, sustentet domos, parcos, vivaria, stagna, molendina et cetera ad terram illam pertinencia de exitibus terre ejusdem, et reddat heredi, cum ad plenam etatem pervenerit, terram suam totam instauratam de carucis et omnibus aliis rebus, ad minus secundum quod illam recepit. Hec omnia observentur de custodiis archiepiscopatuum, episcopatuum, abbatiarum, prioratuum,ecclesiarum et dignitatum vacancium que ad nos pertinent, excepto quod hujusmodi custodie vendi non debent. | V. But the warden, as long as he holds the custody of the lands, shall uphold and preserve the houses, parks, warrens, ponds, mills, and all other things appertaining to them, out of their issues; and shall restore to the heir, when he reaches full age, his entire estate, furnished with carriages and all other things, at the least as such as he received it. All these things shall be observed in the custodianship of vacant Archbishoprics, Bishoprics, Abbeys, Priories, Churches, and Dignities, which belong to us; saving that these wardships shall not be sold." |
| XXXIX. Nullus liber homo decetero capiatur vel imprisonetur aut disseisiatur de aliquo libero tenemento suo vel libertatibus vel liberis consuetudinibus suis, aut utlagetur, aut exuletur aut aliquo alio modo destruatur, nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus, nisi per legale judicium parium suorum, vel per legem terre. | XXXIX. No Free-man shall be taken, or imprisoned, or deprived of his property, or liberties, or free rights, or be outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner harmed; nor shall we condemn him, nor shall we imprison him, except by the lawful judgment of their equals, or in accordance with the laws of the land.—To none will we sell, to none will we deny, to none will we delay right or justice |
| XXXXI. Omnes mercatores, nisi publice antea prohibiti fuerint, habeant salvum et securum exire de Anglia, et venire in Angliam, et morari, et ire per Angliam tam per terram quam per aquam ad emendum vel vendendum sine omnibus toltis malis per antiquas et rectas consuetudines, preterquam in tempore gwerre, et si sint de terra contra nos gwerrina; et si tales inveniantur in terra nostra in principio gwerre, attachientur sine dampno corporum vel rerum, donec sciatur a nobis vel a capitali justiciario nostro quomodo mercatores terre nostre tractentur, qui tunc invenientur in terra contra nos gwerrina; et, si nostri salvi sint ibi, alii salvi sint in terra nostra. | XXXXI. All merchants, unless previously publicly forbidden, shall have protection and security when leaving England, returning to England, and while staying and traveling through England, both by land and by water, to buy and sell, free from any unjust demands, in accordance with ancient and rightful customs, excepting in the time of war, and if they come from a country at war against us: and if such are found in our land at the beginning of a conflict, they shall be detained, without harm to their persons or goods, until it is determined by us, or our Chief Justice, how the merchants of our country are treated in the country at war against us: and if ours are safe there, the others shall be safe in our land. |
