That is to say:
I ask and command, whosoever may have my land, that he every year
give to the domestics at Folkestone fifty measures of malt, and six
measures of meal, and three weys [_heavy weights_] of bacon and
cheese, and four hundred loaves, and one rother [_ox_], and six
sheep.... To the domestics at Christ's church, from the land at
Challock: that is, then, thirty vessels of ale, and three hundred
loaves, of which fifty shall be white loaves, one wey of bacon and
cheese, one old rother, four wethers, one swine or six wethers, six
goose-fowls, ten hen-fowls, thirty tapers, if it be a day in winter,
a jar full of honey, a jar full of butter, and a jar full of salt.
