Where a husband dies before a term, such as Martinmas or Whitsunday, the relict ought not only to be entertained till the next term, but ought also then to have half a year's rent by advance for the subsequent term, to live upon; since she cannot feed on the air, or live perquire, her head bound to the heck, or take in trust; for it is a venture, and she may lose as much at her death, if she decease but one day before Whitsunday or Martinmas, and so the fiar will happen thereby to be a gainer.
