???
Explanation: "Asked a license" doesn't make sense in English. It may mean "asked FOR a license". "Stablish" is not an English word. It might be intended to be "establish".
fustic ['fʌstýk]
noun
1 Also called: old fustic a large tropical American moraceous tree, Chlorophora tinctoria
2 the yellow dye obtained from the wood of this tree
3 any of various trees or shrubs that yield a similar dye, esp. Rhus cotinus (young fustic), a European sumach
[ETYMOLOGY: 15th Century: from French fustoc, from Spanish, from Arabic fustuq, from Greek pistake pistachio tree]
Even with this information it is hard to tell what "log fustic" might mean. Perhaps "fustic logs".
It is not the age of the text, but the many mistakes that make it hard to understand.
