Note 349 — Book IX.
John Beames translation
This was remedied by Magna Carta cap. 2. The Reader may consult Lord Coke’s comment on the words antiquum relevium, where he endeavours to prove, the ancient Relief was certain. (2 Inst. 7. and 8.) Lord Coke, in support of his position, cites a MS. in the Library of Archbishop Parker, which seems almost word for word to coincide with the Laws of the Conqueror. (LL. Gul. Conq. c. 22. 23. 24.) This is the more remarkable, as his Lordship cites from a MS. merely, without describing the nature of it.
