In another placehe distinguishes it accurately from bocland: Pr'dia Saxones duplici titulo possidebant: vel scripti auctoritate, quod bocland vocabant, vel populi testimonio, quod folcland dixere (ibid. voce Bocland).Folc-land was subject to many burthens and exactions from which bocland was exempt.
