custome

Luxon, Thomas H., ed. The Milton Reading Room, http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton, October, 2014.

Milton frequently scorned the role played by "custom" in politics, religion and law. See Areopagitica; and a second place in Areopagitica. See also the Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce book 1 and book 2; and The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates.
