GENEAT'S SERVICES.
The geneat's services are various as on the land is fixed. On some he shall pay land-gafol and grass-swine yearly, and ride, and carry, and lead loads; work and support his lord, and reap and mow, cut deer-hedge and keep it up, build, and hedge the burh, make new roads for the tun: pay kirkshot and almsfee: keep head-ward and horse-ward: go errands far or near wherever he is directed.
Then follow what really are sub-sections of the latter clause, and they describe the services of the various classes of geneats; first of the cottiers.
