   “The raveled is a kind of cheat bread also, but it retaineth more of the gross and less of the pure substance of the wheat; and this [manchet], being more sleightly wrought up, is used in the halls of the nobility and gentry only, whereas the other [cheat bread] either is or should be baked, in cities and good towns, of an appointed size (according to such price as the corn doth bear) and by a statute provided by King John in that behalf.”
