House-bote is a sufficient allowance of wood from off the estate to repair or burn in the house, and sometimes termed fire-bote; plough-bote and cart-bote are wood to be employed in making and repairing all instruments of husbandry; and hay-bote or hedge-bote is wood for repairing of hays, hedges, or fences.

It differs from a rent, principally in freedom of enjoyment on the one hand, and in freedom from obligation on the other; which the law expresses by the quaint antithesis that it lies not in render but in prender.
