LESSON III.—­MIXED.

   “The lands are holden in free and common soccage.”
        —­Trumbull’s Hist, i, 133.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the participle holden is not in that form which present usage authorizes.  But, according to the table of irregular verbs, the four parts of the verb to hold, as now used, are hold, held, holding, held.  Therefore, holden should be held; thus, “The lands are held in free and common soccage.”]
