MAINPRISE.

Mainprise, manucaptio is compounded of two French words, main, id est, manus a hand, and* 1.1 prins, id est, captus taken, as it were taken into their hands. It signifieth in our common Law, the taking or receiving a man into friendly custody, that otherwise is or might be committed to prison,* 1.2 upon securtiy given for his forth-coming at a day assigned.

Such are called Mainpernours, because they do receive him into their hands.
