Reseruation.

REseruation, is taken di∣uers waies, and hath diuerse natures, as some∣times by waie of excepti∣on to kéepe that which a man had before in him, as if a lease bée made for yeares of grounde reser∣uing the great trées grow∣ing vppon the same, now the lessée may not meddle with them, nor with a∣ny thing that commeth by reason of them so long, as it abydeth in, or vpon the trées, as mast of Oke, Chestnu••, Appels, or such like, but if they fall from the trées to the ground then they are in righte the lessées, for the ground

is let to him, and all there vpon not reserued &c.

Sometimes a reserua∣tion doth get and bringe foorth an other thinge which was not before. As if a man lease his landes reseruing yéerely for the same xx. li. &c. And diuers other suche reseruations there be.

And note that in aun∣cient time, their reserua∣tions were as well (or for the more parte) in vi∣tualles, whether flesh, fish, Corne, Bread, Drinke, or what else, as in money▪ vn∣till at the last, & that chief∣ly in the Raigne of King Henrie the first by agrée∣ment, the reseruation of victuals was changed in∣to ready money▪ as it hath hitherto since continued.
