7. Every village shall have a market-place. All the rest of the land shall be for tillage and forest. No one shall fell trees without the consent of the community, or without the knowledge of the forester; for the forests are general property, and no man can appropriate them. 8. The market charges shall not exceed one-twelfth of the value of the goods either to natives or strangers. The portion taken for the charges shall not be sold before the other goods. 9. All the market receipts must be divided yearly into a hundred parts three days before the Juul-day. 10. The Grevetman and his council shall take twenty parts; the keeper of the market ten, and his assistants five; the Volksmoeder one, the midwife four, the village ten, and the poor and infirm shall have fifty parts. 11. There shall be no usurers in the market. If any should come, it will be the duty of the maidens to make it known through the whole land, in order that such people may not be chosen for any office, because they are hard-hearted. For the sake of money they would betray everybody--the people, the mother, their nearest relations, and even their own selves. 12. If any man should attempt to sell diseased cattle or damaged goods for sound, the market-keeper shall expel him, and the maidens shall proclaim him through the country. In early times almost all the Finns lived together in their native land, which was called Aldland, and is now submerged. They were thus far away, and we had no wars. When they were driven hitherwards, and appeared as robbers, then arose the necessity of defending ourselves, and we had armies, kings, and wars. For all this there were established regulations, and out of the regulations came fixed laws. HERE FOLLOW THE LAWS WHICH WERE THUS ESTABLISHED. 1. Every Frisian must resist the assailants with such weapons as he can procure, invent, and use. 2. When a boy is twelve years old he must devote one day in seven to learning how to use his weapons. 3. As soon as he is perfect in the use of them they are to be given to him, and he is to be admitted as a warrior. 4. After serving as a warrior three years, he may become a citizen, and may have a vote in the election of the headman. 5. When he has been seven years a voter he then may have a vote for the chief or king, and may be himself elected. 6. Every year he must be re-elected. 7. Except the king, all other officials are re-eligible who act according to Frya's laws. 8. No king may be in office more than three years, in order that the office may not be permanent. 9. After an interval of seven years he may be elected again. 10. If the king is killed by the enemy, his nearest relative may be a candidate to succeed him. 11. If he dies a natural death, or if his period of service has expired, he shall not be succeeded by any blood relation nearer than the fourth degree.
