   Mefears it is an illiterate usage of "meet". Should not I have   
   written instead: "...it is only meet that it (should) receive more   
   weight over other factors..." I have not found a reliable number of   
   instances of "it is only meet to" in Google books, although I see no   
   problem with it...
