CUM PRIVILEGIO Regiae Maiestatis.   

Viro jurisprudentia, pietate, & aucthor●●ate praestantissimo, Edmundo Anderson Militi, Regiae Maiestati judici primario civilium actionum, patrono suo omni obseruantia colendo, W. West judicijs diu ac foeliciter praesidere ex animo optat.  
SF squiannus iam est (Vir ornatissime) ex quo primum hoc opus Symbolaeographicum opera curaque mea sub faustiss●mis nominis tui auspicijs in lucem foeliciter prodijt. Cogitari certé quidem vix potest quanto hominum studio atque applausu (te patrono) fuerit acceptum, adeò ut nihil unquam eiusdem generis ipsis gratum magis aut probatum haberetur. Veruntamen quemadmodum alijs etiam in rebus usu venire assolet, nihil primo ut nascatur perfectum: Itidem & in hoc negotio non potuit non contingere, quin nonnulla nec plené, nec accuraté satis polita atque descripta essent: Quinimo plurima, partim quidem desiderata, partim verò redundantia, partim etiam indigesta essent. Quibus quidem incommodis ipse aliquando mederi constitueram, quod ne integre praestare pocuerim, multa me etiam hactenus impediunt. Nam (si quod verum est libere fateri liceat) quamprimum Typographus exempla omnia priora (spe citius) distraxisset, ne speratum inde lucrum diutius expectaret, me tandem ex improviso nil tale adhuc somniantem, immo alio destinatum, de nova etiam editione statim ineunda summonu●t: vehe●●enter rogitans, ut teneram atque informemistam prolem, laeto vultu agnoscere, fovere, ac ad ursae instar relambere non dedignarer. Illius autem petitioni honestae certe, (mihi tamen tunc temporis plurimis magni momenti negotijs implicato non satis aequae) non potui non assentire. Ex quo enim, hanc commentandi provinciam semel suscepissem, nihil prorsus mihi potius tentandum videbatur, quam ut, in quo congerendo aliquantulum â me iam elaboratum est, in eodem etiam digerendo atque honestando diutius adhuc immorarer, ipsumque denuo typis excusum auctiorem, adeoque emendatiorem exhibere curarem. Quae igitur tantillo tempore ad hanc rem conferre potuit mea tenuitas, ea omnia libentissime contuli. Cumque in illa priore editione Hebraea aliquot, Graeca autem non pauca, interseruissem, illa nunc omnia ne imperitiorum studia ac progressus, obscuritatis specie, linguarum ignorantia remoretur, penitus sustuli: ipsorum potius utilitati, quam meae aestimationi inseruiens. Nam, utcunque se res habet, ex usu mihi omnia aestimanda atque approbanda videntur. Quod vero iam postremum atque omnium adeo maximum est (vir illustrissime) ut hos meos labores qualescunque, non minore, quam illosid genus priores, benignitate excipere, & patrocinio iam secundo tutari velis, te etiam atque etiam rogo. Te denique (jurisconsultissime) eternus judex, non Anglicano tantum Regno, Regiaeque Maiestati serenissimae sed universis quoque verae Iurisprudētie vere studiosis quam diutissime servet incolumen. Vale, Rotheramiaes, Maij octavo.  
Tui honoris studiosissimus W. West.

THE FIRST BOOK OF SYMBOlaeography, describing the Method and form requisite to be observed in making of Instruments Extraiudiciall.  

¶ What Symbolaeography is.  
SYMBOLAEOGRAPHY is an Art or cunning, 
Sect. 1.  rightly to form & make written Instruments.  
Symbolaeography, is either judicial, or extraiudiciall.  
Symbolaeography extraiudicial, is the first part thereof, which is altogether occupied in the description of such Instruments, as concern matter not yet judicially in controversy.  
Which be of two sorts, namely, Instruments of agreements, or Contracts, and of Testaments, or last wills.  
For the easier understanding whereof, before we take in hand to describe them, it seemeth convenient in some sort briefly to peruse & set down the several natures of Contracts & last wills, and of such Obligations in law, as they breed the stuff or matter (whereof such Instruments are to be made:) beginning with Obligations.   

Obligations.  

¶ The definition or description of obligations and the causes thereof.  
AN Obligation therefore is, the second head, in which the right 
Sect. 2.  of persons is seen: all whose substance consisteth not in this, that it should make any body or service ours: but to bind another to us, to give, do, or perform some thing.  
Hereupon an Obligation is defined the right of a person by which he hath an other person bound unto him, to pay that he oweth.  
And it standeth in this point, that some thing be done or performed: And the same either a thing, or a person, and either the thing itself, or the interest or damage, or both together.  
And all the doctrine of Obligations consisteth either in making of an Obligation, or in the dissolving of the same, when it is made.  
The constitution or making of an obligation resteth in the causes and manner of making thereof.  
The supreme cause (which is also common to all other effects of law) is right, the inferior cause thereof is the act of man, which rather giveth occasion of thobligation, then induceth the same.  
For although to the making of obligations, the mind & will of man be very necessary, yet thereof ariseth thobligation, not for that a man wileth, but for that right & fact granteth such obligation to arise: And on the other side it happeneth often, that a man will not be bound, and yet nevertheless is bound if he commit any such thing by which right will have him to be bound, as in Obligations with offences.  
Right therefore is the chiefest cause of obligations, the fact of man the remote cause, sine qua non: that, the principal cause, this, the secondary.  
And therefore it is termed the bond of right, or law.  
Of Obligations, some be simple and some mixed.  
A simple or single Obligation is that which leaneth upon right only, that is natural right, or civil right only.  
Which so is either natural or civil.  
The natural Obligation is that whereby a man is bound to yield that only which he oweth naturally: And that is also called the right of the Law of nations.  
A civil Obligation is whereby a man is bound by civil Law, to tender that which he aught civilly.  
A mixed Obligation consisteth of both laws, natural and civil.  
In every Obligation the one is called the creditor, or obligee, the other the debtor or obligor: And by divers other more special names, according to the sundry forms of Obligations and Contracts: as feoffor and feoffee, lessor and lessee, grantor and grantee, donor & donee, vendor and vendee etc.  
The creditor is he to whom any thing is due by obligation.  
The debtor, he that is bound.  
Such is the distinction of obligations by the efficient and original cause thereof.   

¶ Of the fact of Man.  
NOw the fact of the person & the person himself are to be considered 
Sect. 3.  The fact is the covenant or agreement or th'offence, which two are the only way of making obligations.  
The person is he which either agreeth or offendeth, and beside him none other.  
And both may be bound either mediately or immediately.  
Immediately if he which is bound do agreed.  
Mediately, when if he which by nature differeth from him, but not by law whereby as by some bond he is feigned to be all one person, doth contract or offend, of which sort in some cases be those which be in our power, as awife, a bondman, a servant, a factor, an Attorney, or procurator, exceeding their authority.   

¶ Of Covenants and agreements, and who may make them.  
A Covenant is the consent of two or more, in one self thing to give 
Sect. 4.  or to do some what.  
This consent is here of them which both by nature may consent, & to whom it is by law permitted to consent.  
For all which by nature can consent, cannot also consent by law.  
But all may consent of what Sex soever they be, male or female.  
But age hindereth some, and some the defect of the body, as dumbnes, deafness, blindness, and some the defect of mind, so that they cannot consent.  
Age hindereth those which be within the age of xxi. years: defect of the mind those which be of full age. And nature both with the consent of law, but not all after one sort.  
Infants which understand not what is done can therefore neither 
Minor.  make Obligation, nor Covenant, either civil or natural which may take beginning at their persons, except such as be of the age of discretion, that is, males of the age of xiiii. years, & females of xii. years, which may covenant and be bound in some cases, as for necessary food, raiment, schooling, instruction, and marriage etc. or as executor to an other. Doct Stud. li. 2. cap. 27.  
The vice or defect of the mind, as madness, Lunacy, Ideocie, hindereth 
Furiosus, Lunaticus, Ideota.  the making of agreements, and contracts.   

¶ Of Consent true or feigned, or in deed and in Law.  
furthermore, the consent in Covenants, is two ways considered, 
Sect. 5.  the one as it is true or feigned: the other as it is pure or conditional.  
I understand, that to be a true consent, which cometh unto the 
Consensus verus.  fact of man, appointed unto that end, that by the same he may be said to consent: of which sort it is, almost in all Covenants, And this true consent is sometimes expressed, and sometimes concealed, or implied.  
A true consent expressed, is that which is declared by word or deed: by word, either uttered by mouth, or showed by writing or messenger.  
The consent secret, or concealed is, when one doth consent by not dissenting: Whereas in the mean● time he might have hindered thact done, if he had disagreed.  
So that an express consent is always in deed, and asecret consent in Law.  
For they, between whom there is nothing expressly agreed, concerning the nature and essence, which a covenant hath by law, are understood secretly to consent to the nature of the Covenant which is appointed by law.  
The feigned consent is by Law for some fact, when the consent of 
Fictus consensus.  both parties appeareth not, and yet in as much as the fact is done, they are by law both feigned, and deemed to consent, for the nature and reason of the business, which is between them both.  
In a true Consent we make choice with whom we will covenant: In a feigned consent we happen upon him casuaily: In the true consents, our wills conjoin us, In the feigned, fortune, or rather Gods providence. In true consents we begin at the fact of man: In the feigned, at the law.   

¶ Of pure Obligations and Covenants.  
ANd as far forth as the consent is either pure or conditional, 
Sect. 6.  so far forth by that quality some Covenants and Obligations be pure, and some other condicional.  
Obligat●o pura, pure Obligation is that, which is, and hath being forthwith, not being suspended or stayed with any Condition.  
Which sometime is pure simply, when the agreement is such, that by force of the Obligation, it may by and by be performed with effect: sometimes pure after a certain manner, and that by the adding too of time certain, unto which not the obligation (which already is made) but the performance thereof is deferred.   

¶ Of conditional Obligations or Covenants.  
A Condicional Obligation is that which is deferred to some chance, 
Sect. 7.  whose whole effect resteth in this, that if the Condition happen, it may be drawn back to the very time of the agreement, and be holden, even as the agreement had been originally pure.  
But it behoveth the Condition to be possible in deed and in Law, otherwise the agreement is voided.   

¶ Of bore Promises.  
A Consent in covenant, is sometime alone, & somteime with cause. 
Sect. 8. Consensus solus. Policitatio.   
A sole consent consisteth in promise and agreement.  
A promise is a covenant offered by one freely, which is of none effect in the law to produce an Obligation, if there be no cause why it should be done.   

¶ Of bore Agreements.  
AN agreement by sole consent, is a covenant consisting within 
Sect. 9 Pactum & placitum, vel pactum nudum.  the bonds & limits of his pleasure that maketh it: And therefore it is called with us Nudum pactum, which of his own nature breedeth no Obligation. As if I S. promise' to pay x. li. to P. L. not having quid pro quo 9 H. 5. fo. 14. For if a man promise to do or make any thing, & no agreement being made what he shall have for his labour, it is Nudum pactum, 13. H. 6. 36. Of which sort been all natural Obligations: as recompensing, requiting, & other bore promises without lawful consideration.   

¶ Of Contracts.  
A Covenant or agreement which hath a cause, is termed a Contract 
Sect. 10. Consensus cum causa  which is nothing else but an agreement with a lawful cause or consideration, Doct and Stud. lib. 2. cap. 24.  
A cause is a business which being approved by law, maketh the obligation rise by the contract, and the action upon the Obligation.  
There are two principal heads to be observed in the learning of 
Contractuum distributio.  Contracts: the one pertaineth to their substance or nature, the other to their adjuncts or accidents.   

¶ The substance of Contracts.  
THe substance of all Contracts consisteth in consent, as their matter, 
Sect. 11. Materia & forma contractuum.  and in the cause or business as their form,  
Yet that consent which is common to all contracts also distinguisheth them, and that by the diversity of the manner of consent which is used in Contracts.  
For consent is sometimes used indeed, and sometimes feigned, as in law: so of contracts, some be true, and some be feigned.  
True Contracts, be contracts having a true consent ordained to 
Contractus verus.  that end that the contract may be made, and thereof an Obligation or bond.  
Which true consent is always interposed of both sides, whether it be expressly or secretly: insomuch, that if there be any error or deceit in the consent or thing, for which the contract is entered into, that contract is either made altogether none, or of none effect.  
Therefore the true Contracts be those, which are by mutual consent of both parties: which consent is therefore interposed that the contracts may be, and that either both or the one may be bound thereby, and both those things even from the beginning.  
But if you mark the end and effect of contracts, there is no difference 
Contractuum est. ctus.  amongst them at all, but all equally, aswell feigned as true contracts breed obligations, which obligations so bred bring forth actions.  
Again, true contracts be distinguished by their cause, which is common 
Con●ractuum ●●●sacōmunis  to them all in general, namely that in all contracts, some thing be given or done: But in some, law hath set & distinguished the business or cause in certain limits, in which it hath forsaken the common nature.  
And an act so long as it appeareth not, whether it may be referred to any certain business defived within certain limits, or not, is left in his general kind, & that common nature: as for example, when I give I S. money that he may give me some thing of his, In general certes this contract is, I give, that he may give. But when law hath severed & defined by certain notes, this business wherein a certain price is given for a certain thing, & hath given thereunto a peculiar name, it may be called buying & selling. We are not now to look back to the general name, I give that I. S. may give, but to the lowest species or kind that is buying, selling, & the nature thereof. But if I give thee a thing that thou mayest give me a thing of thine, that act or business abideth in the general name, I give that thou mayest give, because the law hath set down no certain contract whereby one thing (other than money) may be given for another, neither truly by nature could certain names be given to all and singular businesses: for that they be infinite: but words or names be infinite, and circumstances divers.  
Yet profit & the frequent use of certain businesses hath brought to pass that a certain form and name might be, & also is given unto them.  
Hence of true contracts, some be named, & some unnamed.   

¶ Of named Contracts.  
NAmed Contracts be those which have a cause by law defined, & 
Sect. 12.  they are called by proper names.  
The same also be termed certain, because they are certain in their 
Contractus nominati.  form, certain in their number, and briefly certain in their name.  
Besides these all the rest are uncertain, as staying in that their general appellation or name.  
And it is to be understood of named contracts, which is said in the rule of contracts, that in a perfect contract there is no place for repentance, that is, that a man can not serve from a Contract named perfect, either party being unwilling, nor except all things be wholly restored, but that the same must altogether be consummate, and either the thing contracted be performed, or if that cannot, in steed thereof them interest or damages thereof.  
And though those contracts only be named which have received both name and form of our Civil Law, and thereby it is to be esteemed, whether they may be said to be contracts named or unnamed: yet have they not all one self beginning, For some be said to be of the Law of nations, and some of the Civil Law.   

¶ Of Contracts of the Law of Nations.  
THose Contracts be of the Law of Nations, which have their cause 
Sect. 13. Contractus jurisgentium.  by the Law of nations, received with all men, but have received their certain form and certain name from our civil Law.  
Which be two fold, for certain are made by the thing, & certain by consent.  
Verily there be diverse such contracts that may be made upon some thing, neither is there any wherein it is not needful that consent be: But the same in some more, and in some less.  
As touching those that are perfected by the thing, the matter standeth 
Contractus rei.  thus, that their cause (that is to say) giving, consisteth in this point, that it behoveth the thing always to be present, & necessarily delivered to perfect the Contract. But in other contracts, albeit they be made concerning some thing, yet it is not needful that the thing be present, but it may be in one place, and the contract celebrated and perfected in an other. Whereby it happeneth that the contracts perfected with the thing, & the thing itself whereof the contract is, & the very contract itself are oftentimes called by one self name, which is otherwise in other contracts.  
here-hence we may define real contracts, to be contracts whereby 
Contractus reals.  the thing being delivered & accepted, we are bound to the restitution of the same thing, but if that cannot be, the value or interest thereof.  
Whereof there be two kinds, th'one consisteth in loan and lending, the other in disposition and gauging. Lending is respected in the thing and without the thing.  
In the thing is considered, either the property thereof, or the use thereof.  
The property of the thing is transferred in loan by delivery unto him which borrowed it.  
The use of the thing in commodation, is applied unto him unto whom the thing is lent.  
Without the thing, is the keeping & the security thereof called Depositum, which is a thing left in another man's keeping, and this is termed a pledge, gage, or pawn.  
To all which iiii. kinds this own thing aught to be common, that they be free without usury & price, for if any price or thing be given therefore for them, they degenerate into the nature of other contracts.   

¶ Of Mutuation or lending of things which cannot be restored.  
LOane or lending Mutuatio, is a real contract, whereby we so give 
Sect. 14. Mutuatio.  a thing consistingin quantity that he which receiveth it, may tender the same again to the lender, in kind and nature, but not the self same thing in deed: the thing that is lent, is properly called Mutuatum, 
Mutuatum.  he which giveth, the lender, & he which receiveth, the borrower.  
In loan termed Mutuum, the lender must be owner of the thing 
Mutuum.  lent, and also in delivering of the thing, he must convey the property thereof unto the borrower: because things so lent are so given to be used, that they cannot be used, except they be consumed. And it is therefore called Mutuum, quasi ex meo tuum fiat, Doct St. li. 2. cap. 28.  
But no other things may be given in loan, but those only which consist in quantity, that is, those which are wont and may be numbered, weighed, or measured, as money, corn, wine, cheese, lead, etc.  
And those may receive function in genere, that is, one may be, and also truly is used for an other, that although that the thing restored is other than that which was received in specie infima, seu individuo, yet in that, that a thing of the same kind, goodness, and quality is rendered, it seemeth to be altogether the same.  
In loan therefore the same quantity and quality do cause that thing being diverse in individuo, to be all one in genere. Hence it is that the same things are restored that we lent not in individuo, (because that single thing that was lent cannot be restored, for so much as it is consumed by use: or if it be not consumed, yet the property thereof is conveyed unto the receiver) but in kind and goodness.  
Number is attributed to money etc. measure, to corn, wine, oil, etc. weight, to cheese, lead, and such like of the same sort.   

¶ Of Commodation or lending of things which may be restored.  
COmmodation, is a Contract real, whereby any thing is granted 
Sect. 15. Commodatio.  freely to be used of any one, that even the very self same thing in deed may be restored, and not in lieu thereof an other of the same kind, as a horse, a book etc. Doct & Stu. li. 2. cap. 28.  
The thing lent is called Commodatum, the lender Commodans, the borrower Commodatorius.  
But Commodatum, is properly when a thing, is delivered to an use and purpose certain, which at the last being ended, it aught to be restored and not before.  
For if the thing be so delivered to be used, that it must be restored to the lender whensoever it shall please him, than it is termed Praecarium, 
Praecarium.  or a loan at william.   

¶ Of deposition or leaving with an other.  
DEposition, is a Contract real in which a thing movable is freely 
Sect. 16. Deposition,  given to be kept, that the self same thing be restored whensoever it shall please him that so leaveth it. Do. St. lib. 2. ca 28.  
The thing left is called Receptum, commendatum, or depositum. the leaver, deponens, the receiver depositarius, the keeper thereof. The nature of this Contract is in the free keeping of the thing left, and neither in the use, nor abuse thereof.  
This keeping is either of a thing Litigious, or not Litigious, the thing not Litigious is properly that which we call depositum, which is sometimes left of set purpose, and sometime through urgent necessity as in these three cases of ruin, shipwreck, and burning.   

¶ Of Sequestration.  
THe keeping of a thing Litigious is called Sequestration, which 
Sect. 17. Sequestration.  is therefore defined the deposition of a thing in controversy.  
Which is conventionall or judicial. A deposition conventionall, is made with the wills of the parties between whom the controversy is.  
This doth take the possession from the parties in controversy, and giveth the same to the Sequester or indifferent man to th'end he may deliver the same to him that recovereth it, except perchance it be expressly so agreed that the Sequester shall only detain & not possess it.  
A judicial Sequestration is made by the authority of a competent Magistrate, even against the will of both, or of the one of the parties.  
This taketh not away the possession, but because it is doubtful, it leaveth it in suspense until the parties be either friendly agreed concerning the suit, or it be declared by judgement, who is and aught to be possessed thereof.  
Sequestration judicial aught not to be made, but upon urgent causes, as to avoid fight and breach of peace etc. or if the destruction of the thing Litigious be feared, or the party suspected to become fugitive or insufficient, or if there be any other danger in delay: But deposition of things movable only, and sequestration may be of things immovable.   

¶ Of Pledging and gauging.  
A Pledge is taken sometimes generally, and sometimes specially, 
Sect. 18.  and both of them are sometimes of the covenant, & sometimes of the thing which cometh into the covenant, Do. St. li. 2. cap. 28.  
Pignus generally taken, is a covenant by which right is appointed 
Pignus.  to the creditor in the things of another man, that his debt to him may be so much the surer: which very right is not seldom called a pledge, so that a pledge may be of the covenant, or of the right of a thing, and briefly of the thing in which that right is appointed.  
And a pledge is either proper or improper: an improper pledge is 
Hypotheca.  called Hypotheca, which is of a thing not delivered, which is made and perfected by covenant only, As in clauses of distress, clauses of nomine penae, & other penalties for not performing of covenants etc.  
It is either expressed or implied.  
Expressed is that, when it is expressly agreed, of what thing it should be, as a clause of distress for a rend charge.  
And this is always by express consent of the parties only.  
An improper pledge implied is that which is induced by the Law alone, yet by some occasion thereunto given by some act of man, which is not principally, and by the will of man appointed to make a pledge: although that by that thing which is done, the man doing it is presumed to agreed to the pledge: as when goods be brought into an other man's land, liable to the distress of a stranger, for rent or other movable things bound by the operation of Law.  
A pledge so termed specially, is a pledge delivered to the creditor sometimes by the debtor, and sometimes by a magistrate.   

¶ Of Pledges necessary or voluntary.  
ANd therefore a pledge is either necessary, or voluntary, or conventionall. 
Sect. 19   
A necessary pledge is that which is received by compulsive authority of a Magistrate.  
A pledge voluntary or conventionall, is a pledge delivered by the covenant of both parties.  
A pledge is ever of the debtors own things, namely of such as may be bought and sold.  
For the gauging of the goods of another man is void, if it be not with the will and consent of the owner thereof.  
And a pledge may be pawned to another, yet subject to the first condition, for prior tempore est potior iure.  
Fruits and things growing may be pledged.   

¶ Of Pledges general and special.  
ANd a Pledge may either be general, which is of all a man's 
Sect. 20.  goods.  
Or special which is of some part of them only.  
And all the right of pledges or gauges, consisteth in the security & assurance of the thing due to the creditor. Do. St. lib. 2. cap. 28.   

¶ Of Contracts by consent.  
Such be the Contracts by the law of nations which are perfected 
Sect. 21.  with the thing. Those which are perfected by consent do follow.  
And obligations accrueing of these are said to be contracted by consent, not because these alone have consent in them, but for that to their perfection, the presence of the thing whereof the contract is made is not desired, nor words nor letters, but sole consent sufficeth which yet many times is interposed with the thing, and by thaccess thereof perfected.  
Hereupon contracts by consent are defined contracts, having cause placed in sole consent, to this end and intent, that a business certain may be done.  
And these contracts by consent are partly in the thing, and partly about the thing.  
In the thing, namely either of the property or of the use thereof.  
About the thing, as of communication or fact.   

¶ Of Buying and selling.  
COntracts of property are buying or selling: Of use, are letting, 
Sect. 22.  taking, or hiring: Of communion, society: Offact, is commandment.  
And buying and selling Emptio, venditio, is a contract by consent 
Emptio. Venditio,  of the having of a thing, by or for a certain price.  
In which he that must deliver the thing is named the seller, and he that aught to pay the price thereof the buyer.  
The substance of this contract consisteth in the thing sold, and in the price thereof.   

¶ What things may be sold.  
ALl things may be bought & sold whereof a man may have property 
Sect. 23.  or ownership, as horse, kine, etc. corn growing upon the ground, Tithes not severed, 21. E. 3. 11. 21. H. 6. 43. hay growing 27. H. 8. 25. 11. H. 4. 32.  
All goods, chattels immovable, bondmen, and other things not being by law prohibited (as stolen goods, horses into Scotland, fremen) may be sold.  
Also a man cannot buy his own goods.  
The price in buying and selling in money. 
●●etium   
For one thing given for another, is not price, neither if it so happen, 
Permuta●io.  it is buying and selling, but exchanging, Permutatio.  
The price is certain when it is either expressed in the bargain, how much it is, or aught to be, Or if not certainly expressed, yet some relation is made to some thing, whereby it may be made certain, As if the vendor saith, he selleth it for so much as he bought it, Or for so much as I. S. shall arbitrate, It is certain enough till I S. have denied to declare the certain price thereof, 14. H. 8. 19   

¶ Of payment and delivery of things sold,  
THe payment of the money & delivery of the thing sold are effects 
Sect. 24.  of buying and selling, but not the very substance thereof. 14. H. 8. 19 for buying & selling is perfected, by the certain appointing of the thing to be sold, and the taration of the price thereof, with the mutual consent of the buyer & seller, which consent in & about one self same thing worketh all.   

¶ Of letting or hiring.  
LEtting & hiring, locatio, conductio, is a Contract by consent of 
Sect. 25.  the making or using of some thing for a certain rent, hire or wage.  
He which letteth, lesseth, or setteth any thing to be made or used, is called properly Locator, the lessor or lettor: He which taketh or hireth it, Conductor, the lessee or hyrer.  
Letting and taking is either of a thing, or of the diligence of man.  
And all things which may be bought and sold, may also be let except such only as consume by use. As corn, wine, oil, money, and such like, which may not be let: But houses and land and quick beasts, as sheep & oxen which by nature yield increase, may be let.  
The letting or hiring of a man's labour, is as it were the use of a man in the making or doing of some thing, As in the making of an house, a clock, a garment, in doing of a days work by a labourer etc. Or the use of an house of lands etc. for life, years, or at will for certain rent.   

¶ Of Society, Communion, or Fellowship.  
Society is a contract by consent about a thing to be had and used 
Sect. 26. Societas.  in common on both sides.  
And the society or communion of things may happen between many of divers causes, of which, two be most principal: One by hereditary descents or executorship: As when lands descend to heirs or coparceners, or when a man maketh diverse executors, or administration is committed to diverse. The other, when a thing is purchased or gotten by diverse, by gift or legacy, or some other such single title.  
But that only is properly called Society, which by mutual consent is applied to that end, that there may be partnership or fellowship amongst the persons contracting: wherein so soon as they are fully agreed, th'one is properly called the others fellow.  
And the same society is in the goods and things of all the companions, or of one, or some of them only, and in the labour to be done by them all, one, or some of them, about such goods or things. And again in communicating of gain and loss after the putting of such things in fellowship or barter, and performing of their labour there about.  
So in Society are regarded the goods or things of which the communion is made, And the diligence and labour to be employed in and about them, And the damage or profit which of them both or by thoccasion of them, or the same society contracted, may grow or arise.  
And the whole doth consist in negotiation, as in buying, selling, traffic, or merchandise.   

¶ Of a Society general or special.  
Society in respect of goods is either general or special.  
A general society of goods is of all goods: which contract hath 
Sect. 27.  this one thing peculiar unto itself, that so soon as the partners are agreed thereupon, all their goods are by law common in property and use to each and every of them, without delivery of any part thereof to 'cause a property.  
A special society of goods, is of certain goods only, and the same either one thing only, as of an horse, ox etc. to be bought: Or of some certain kind of merchandises or wares, or other things, as corn, oil, spices, beasts etc.  
Again the general society of goods is so of all, that it extendeth to all things of the partners or fellows. But in the special society of goods, it may be that th'one only conferreth the goods, and the other no goods, but bestoweth only his labour and diligence, which then is in steed of goods.  
For labour is oftentimes of as good regard as money, yea and some times much better, which causeth that even the poor being industrious, may have fellowship with the rich.  
Therefore in general society of goods, the one of the partners sometimes yieldeth more goods, and the other less, the want whereof is intended to be supplied by the other party's labour and diligence, all which dependeth upon the agreement and will of the parties thereunto.   

¶ Of gains and Damages.  
Gain is that which remaineth when all damages and expenses, 
Sect. 28. Lucrum.  which the principal or goods put in barter, are deducted.  
Damage is that which wanteth when the expenses are drawn from 
Da●●um.  the principal, or things put in barter or fellowship.   

¶ Of Commandment or Commission.  
Acommandement or Commission Mandatum, is a contract by consent 
Sect. 29.  to do something gratis or freely.  
He which commandeth is called Mandans or Mandator, he which is commanded may be called Mandatarius.  
Commandments or Commissions do properly rest in the deed and not in the thing, albeit the thing do sometimes come unto the fact.  
And that fact commanded is either in judgement, or out of judgement.  
A Mandate or commandment therefore is either touching some controversy, or the doing of some other businesses.  
And every commandment is general or special. And the general either with free administration or without it.  
And the other person so commanded may be termed an Attorney, Proctor, Procurator, Steward, bailiff, Factor, Overseer, or Governor of other men's businesses.  
For an Attorney is he which administereth, or doth another man's business by the commandment of the owner thereof.  
If the party commanded have any thing for his pain, it is not then properly commandment, but Location and Conduction.  
These Mandatorie contracts are determined by death or will, of either of the Contractors, if the deed be yet undone.  
By death natural.  
By the will of the parties, as if either the Commaundor revoke his Mandate: Or the party commanded renounce and refuse to execute the same.   

¶ Of Contracts named of the Civil Law of Stipulation.  
Such are contracts named of the Law of Nations, Those follow 
Sect. 30.  which are of the Civil Law, which contracts are either made by word or writing.  
Stipulation is a contract made by words only, by an Interrogation or question preceding, and a fit answer to the same following, for the giving or doing of some thing or business: as givest thou: I give: wilt thou do this: I will: which is no binding contract in our Law, if no lawful consideration precede, but Nudum pactum, of which before.   

¶ Of Contracts by writing.  
THe other Contract of Civil Law is made by writing, as the 
Sect. 31.  former is made by words. And that rather for the declaration and proof of the Contract before made, then for thessential making of the same.  
For a written Band, is a Contract whereby any man confesseth himself by his writing orderly made, sealed, and delivered, to owe any thing unto him with whom he so Contracteth.  
And if the thing were due before the making of such writing, than such duty when such writing is so made, is due both by the cause, for which it became so first due, and by such writing, wherein it is so described: by the first naturally, by this civilly. And if it were not due before, than it was not done civilly, by virtue of the writing only. Nevertheless it is to be noted, that by accepting of writing of a Precedent contract, or of any part thereof of the party, the contract precedent, is altogether determined thereby 3. H. 4. 17. 29. H. 8. but not if a stranger be bound 29. H. 8. for no contract can be apportioned or divided, 9 E. 4. 1.  
Obligations and contracts do not forthwith spring of all kind of writings mutually given by the parties, for some are made only for the testimony or memory of things done, to the end to preserve them & win credit unto them, but not to the end to procreate or breed any bond or contract, as histories, private Inuentaries, private notes of remembrance, certificates etc.  
But if I S. by his writing duly sealed and delivered, confess himself to own to T. N. x. l. the proof that he made the same bond, maketh him debtor of somuch, albeit there was never any other contract thereof between them, but such writing only, neither is it necessary that the creditor prove any more, but only the delivery of such bonds or writings thereof.   

¶ Of nameless Contracts.  
ANd true Contracts named, be of such sort: besides which, all the 
Sect. 32.  rest be unnamed, which be true contracts, having no certain name by the Civil Law, and yet containing in them a civil business, whose form is general, not defined within any certain limits.  
Of which sort be all those contracts of which it is either doubtful, or else certain that they can be referred to no Civilll Contract named.  
A Civil business is, if any thing be to be given or done for some cause.  
Of these unnamed contracts there be two kinds, the one may be termed a contract upon the cause or permutation.  
A contract upon the cause is a contract unnamed, made by consent wholly for some lawful consideration, when some thing aught to be given or done, or not to be given or done, As assumption and oaths. Assumption is made for the most part with such words as I give thee that, that thou give or do that: or I do this that thou shalt give or do that. As if I S. receive of D. D. an horse or any other thing, and promise' in consideration thereof, either to deliver the horse sound again, or forty shillings, or if I S. give D. D. ten shillings, in consideration that he shall give him some other thing, or do some act for him.  
These contracts in respect of the sum certain expressed, resemble the contract of buying and selling: And in respect of labour to be taken about the doing of the fact, they counterfeit Location & conduction by reason of the wages: which if it were not set down, they would represent commandments, which nevertheless fully jump not with any of those three contracts named, neither may they rightly challenge any of their names.   

¶ Of Permutation or Exchange.  
PErmutatio, Permutation is a nameless contract consisting in 
Sect. 33.  the thing and consent, by which one certain thing is given and exchanged for another, as an Ox for an Horse, or bread for flesh etc. which name of Permutation, although it seem fit for this business, yet it is rightly termed a nameless contract in law: For albeit it counterfeit buying and selling very near, for that either thing given in exchange resemble both the wares and the price, yet because it cannot be discerned thereby whether is the buyer, and whether the seller, it cannot usurp that title.  
And so those contracts of the Case, Assumption and Permutation, be therefore said to be nameless, because their appellations or names be so general, that no one named contract is able to comprehend them, yet is the knowledge thereof wondered necessary for the apt framing of Instruments.   

¶ Of improper contracts.  
TRue or proper contracts are so described: Contracts improper or 
Sect. 34.  feigned succeed.  
A Contract unproper, is a contract made by a consent feigned by the law, for some deed happening in the same, that is to say, in the which there is no manifest certainty of both the parties consent: but yet according to the reason and nature of the business, a consent is by law feigned to come on both sides, as the administration of an others business without request, and gardenship, the communion of things, as amongst jointenants, Coparceners, tenants in common, joint executors, and joint administrators, joint legataries or donees, by payment of that which is not due, the receivor is bound to make restitution, and detaining of goods in which another hath property.   

¶ Of Contracts mediate and immediate.  
THere be also contracts of the fact: and a fact cleaveth to the person, and is in it, from which it is never separated: but the right 
Sect. 35.  which resembleth and ariseth of the fact of the contract, namely the obligation may be gotten to another than him that made the contract.  
And sometime it cometh to pass that one man bargaineth, & a nother man obtaineth the obligation, whether that other be bound, or another by the same contract be bound to him.  
An Obligation by contract is gotten either mediately or immediately.  
Immediately by a man's own proper contract.  
Mediately where the contract is made by another, As a contract made by the wife with her husband's commandment, consent, or assent, 20. H. 6. 22. 27. H. 8. fol. 25. 21. H. 7. fol. 40. 14. H. 7. 2. R. 2. or by a Bailie known, 27. Ass. P. 5. or by his servant, factor, or Attorney, 8. E. 4. fol. 11. 22. E. 4. fol. 6.   

¶ Of the adjuncts of contracts.  
WE have hitherto spoken of those things which pertain to 
Sect. 36.  the constitution of the very substance of contracts: their adjuncts follow.  
Of which adjuncts some be intern and some extern.  
Of which some be Contracts bonae fidei, others be strictiiuris, Those be contracts bonae fidei, by which that is performed which seemeth equal and good, although it was not once thought of by any of the parties at the making of the contract.  
Of which sort be accommodation, deposition, pledges, buying, selling, letting, hiring, society, commandment, permutation, assumptions, and other contracts upon the case, gardenships', doing of others businesses, communion of things hereditary, and all other communions.  
Contracts of the strict law, are those by which that only is performed, which is expressly covenanted.  
Of which kind be lending, and all other besides those above mentioned, In these the rigour of the law, in those, equity ruleth. Sundry other contracts there be of this kind, which to avoid tediousness I pretermit.  
Extern adjuncts be those which are so in the contract, that they may also be absent from it: but in it only then, when it is so covenanted.  
For but that it is so covenanted, they would either altogether not be therein, or if they were therein, it should be by the only avethority and disposition of the law.  
Of these extern adjuncts, some may be adjoined to every contract which are called Common, & some proper to certain contracts only.  
Common extern adjuncts, be covenants, accessions, and delays annexed to Contracts.  
Of Adjuncts, some add some things unto the contracts, some take some thing from them.  
Adjuncts which add something to contracts, are penalties, warranties, or other securities.  
Adjuncts taking from contracts, be such as diminish the price agreed upon in the beginning.   

¶ Of Accessions to contracts.  
ACcessions, Accessiones contractuum, to contracts be these things 
Sect. 37.  which be required beside the principal things themselves, whereof the contract is made: As all costs and damages, 〈…〉 by occasion thereof, Or limitation of circumst●●●●● of rane, 〈◊〉, person, etc. to perform Contracts.   

¶ Of Delays.  
DElay (Mora) is that linger or prolonging of the performance 
Sect. 38.  of Contracts, which happeneth by the slackness ●●het of the creditor, or debtor.  
Much more might have been said of those contracts and offeines, of which Obligations springs and arise, all which we willingly have omitted, as not much necessary for our present purpose. In this discourse of Contracts necessarily, (as we think) we are in like manner to entreat briefly of estates, possessions, and properties, by which things are conjoined unto persons.   

¶ Of Estates and properties universal, and fee simple.  
AN Estate, Status, dominium, proprietas, is that right & power 
Sect. 39  whereby we have the property or possession of things: that is, whereby we be owners or possessors thereof.  
All Estates be either universal or particular: An universal estate is an estate in fee simple, which is, when a man hath lands or other things inheritable, to him and his heirs for ever, so that thereby it is perfectly his own: and therefore we call it universal, because it comprehendeth in itself all other estates.   

¶ Of particular Estates, and of Fee tail.  
A Particular Estate is every estate which is not so universal, and 
Sect. 40.  may also be said to be of two sorts, that is a particaler estate of inheritance and of a term.  
A particular estate of inheritance, is an estate tail or limited, that is an estate expressing in certain, whose issue, and of what six shall inherit, and it is general or special.  
A general estate tail or limited, is when the estate limited expresseth not between whom the issue inheritable must be engendered: As if the gift or conveyance be to a man & the heir or heirs males, or heirs females of his body lawfully begotten, not naming upon what woman: Or to a woman and to the heir or heirs males or heirs females of her body lawfully begotten, not naming the man by whom it should be begotten, in which case, every heir of their bodies lawfully begotten may inherit, by what wife or husband soever. Or shortly thus: an estate in general tail is, by which any issue of the donees body lawfully begotten may inherit.  
An estate tail special is, when it is certainly set down between whom the issue inheritable shallbe engendered. And this special estate tail is either expressed or implied. An estate in special tail expressed is, where it is specially limited what issue of the donee shall inherit. An estate in special tail implied is, where it is not expressed specially what issues of the donees shall inherit: as by gift in frankmariage, which is, where a man giveth lands with his Daughter, or other kinswoman, to an other in frankmariage, which word frankmariage amounteth to as much, as if he had said to the donees and the heirs of their two bodies lawfully begotten, Litt. Sect ' 17. As if the conveyance were made to a man and a woman, & the heirs of their two bodies lawfully begotten: or to a man & the issue which he shall beget upon the body of A. D. Now may no issue take any benefit by that conveyance, but such only as are between them two lawfully begotten: And this manner of estate is properly called a special estate tail: But if either of them die before they have such issue between them, than the party suruyving is unproperly called a tenant in tail, and therefore for distinction fake, we term such furuivor tenant in tail after possibility of issue extinct.   

¶ Of Estates of freehold.  
A Particular estate which is but only a term, is an estate determinable 
Sect. 41.  by limitation of time, and it is of two sorts: namely an estate of franktenement, or a chattel.  
An estate of franktenement, is where a man hath the freehold of land, and it is either an estate of franktenement, created by the operation of the law, or by the act of the parties.  
An estate of franktenement created by the operation of the law, is either by the common law, or by statute. An estate of franktenement by the common law, is either dower, or by the courtesy of England. An estate in dower is, where the wife is endowed of the third part of such lands as her husband had any such estate of inheritance in, as the issue which by possibility she might have had by him, might by possibility have inherited the same land of the same estate: For dower exassensu patris, ad ostium Ecclesiae, & de la plus bell, as seldom used at this day, I omit.  
An estate of franktenement by the Courtesy, is an estate for the term of life of the husband in all his wives land whom he surviveth, having had issue by her borne alive, which might by possibility if it had lived, have had, and inherited the same lands of such estate as the mother therein had, during the coverture.  
An estate of franktenement by statute is, either by virtue of a bond knowledged according to a statute, or by reason of some execution.  
A franktenement by Statute, is either by virtue of a statute Staple, or of a Statute merchant.  
A franktenement by virtue of an execution is, either by reason of some judgement in some of her majesties Courts of Record: or else by reason of some recognizance: it is when the moiety of the Recognisors lands be delivered to the Recognisee to hold to him as his frehold till his debt be pated. But these estates of freehold growing thus by Statute, are not properly but unproperly termed freehold.  
An estate of franktenement growing by the act of the parties, is an estate for the term of a man's own life, or for term of another man's life. For the term of a man's own life, as if land be leased to any man to have and to hold to him during his life.  
An estate of franktenement for another's life is, when lands be assured to him for the life of I. G. or any other than the lessee himself.   

¶ Of estates of Chattels.  
A Particular estate which is only a chattel, is either certain or 
Sect. 42.  incertain, and it groweth either by the act of the parties, or by the law.  
By the act of the parties is a lease for the term of certain years having a certain limitation when it shall begin, and when it shall end or determine, as if lands be leased to I G. To have and to hold to him and his assigns from such a day, naming some day certain, past, present, or to come for xxi. years, or any other certain number of years agreed upon between the leassor and the leassee.  
Particular estate certain growing by law is, that estate which the Guardian hath in his wa●des lands, during his nonage.  
A particular estate incertain, is an estate at will, or at sufferance.   

¶ Of possession in law and in deed.  
AN estate at will is where the leassor granteth his lands or other 
Sect. 43.  things to the leassee, to have and to hold to him, at the will of the lessor.  
And it is to be remembered, that estates may be in possession, and out of possession. Possession is in law or in deed.  
And a possession in law is when the law only is the efficient cause thereof, and it is either by common law, or by statute. By common law, as if the father or other ancestor die seized of lands, the law casteth the possession in law upon the heir before his entry by force whereof he is tenant to every man's Praecipe: by statute is, that possession which Cestuy que use, hath in lands limited to him in use 27 H. 8. cap. 10. before his actual entre into the same. An actual possession or a possession in deed, is when the owner entereth into the same in deed. An estate out of possession is of two sorts, to wit, in remainder, and in reversion.   

¶ Of Remainders and Reversions.  
AN estate out of possession in remainder is, when a particular estate 
Sect. 44.  is granted to one man, the remainder to another at the same time by one deed, As if a grant be made of lands for years, life, or in tail, to I. S. the remainder thereof to T. N. for life, years, fee, or in tail.  
A reversion is such an estate depending upon like particular estate but not being created all at one time, by one deed: as if I S. seized of lands in fee, grant the same to T. N. for years, life, or in tail, that which after such particular estate remaineth in the grantor, is a reversion.  
Also every estate is either executed maintenant, or executory by limitation of use, which vesteth in possession by virtue of the statute of 27. H. 8. And lastly, every estate is either absolute or conditional.   

¶ Of Instruments, their definition and causes.  
Having thus generally and briefly run over the doctrine of Contracts, 
Sect. 45.  Obligations, possessions, estates & properties so far forth as seemeth behoveful for the description of the several Instruments of all manner of Contracts. It is now time to enter into the discourse of Instruments themselves the very proper matters and object of Symboleography.  
An Instrument therefore is a formal writing made in paper or parchment, wherein are contained & described contracts, covenants, last wills, or other facces and things of persons for the testimony or memory thereof.  
And first we say it is a formal writing to distinguish Instruments from ordinary letters, private notes, reckonings, and remembrances made by any for a man's own private use or memory, and from all books of arts, histories, divinity, philosophy, and such like.  
Secondly, made upon paper or parchment, for that, that before the invention of Paper or Parchment men used to writ sometimes upon boards rubbed over with ware, sometimes upon stones, sometimes upon metal, and sometimes upon the inner rinds of the barks of trees. And sometimes at this day upon tables, stones, or tallies, none of all which kinds of writings we here mean, but such only as are made upon paper or parchment.  
Thirdly, in saying that an Instrument comprehendeth things contracted: it setteth before our eyes, what the very matters, business & acts be, whereof such Instruments must be made: namely of agreements & contracts, grants, wills, plead &c. which may breed Obligations, & not of bore speeches, communications, or private notes.  
Fourthly, the word (persons) pointeth to the efficient cause of these Covenants and Contracts.  
Fiftly, that which ensueth teacheth us the very final cause why such Instruments were first ordained, that is, to the end the acts and things therein comprised might both more certainly be kept in memory, and more easily to be proved: for the proof of the Instruments only proveth the Contracts therein contained. And therefore Instruments are a kind of proof in all laws.  
The form of Instruments doth plainly appear at full in the description of Instruments throughout the second Book, in which you may see the manner, form, and fashion of every kind of Instrument extraiudiciall.   

¶ Of the distribution of Instruments.  
INstruments therefore of their effects be either constitutive and 
Sect. 46.  making, or remissorie and liberatorie.  
An Instrument constitutive is such an Instrument under the proper hand of the party as testifieth and describeth some contract of some debt or duty to be paid, or some fact to be done or performed, as an obligation, bill of debt etc.  
And of Instruments constitutive, some are creating, and some conveying.  
A constitutive Instrument creating, be those whereby any estate, property, power, or obligation, not having any essence or being before, is newly raised and created, as the first grant of a rent, common, way etc. estate tail, for life, years, and such like, Warrants of Attorney, Commissions etc.  
Instruments constitutive conveying, are those by which estates, properties, or powers, being already created are transferred & conveyed to others, As Instruments of feoffements, bargains & sales, assignments, and grants over, or surrenders, confirmations, substitutions and deputations etc. by which, estates, properties and authorities are conveyed over to others.  
And an Instrument remissarie, is an Instrument under the party's hand describing & testifying some precedent contract of a debt, duty or fact to be paid, performed, done, released, or discharged: of which sort, be all acquitances, releases, & other matters of discharge.  
Secondly, of the efficient cause, Instruments be either public or private.  
A public Instrument, is an Instrument made by public authority of a Magistrate or judge, as all grants & charters of the Q. Majesty under her highness great seal, or under the seal of the Duchy, or of any of her highness Courts of Record, & all deeds & charters knowledged & enrolled in any of her majesties courts of record.  
Such public Instruments of their own natures prove the facts or contracts therein contained, and are of such & so great credit of their own natures, that they themselves need no proof at all.  
Private Instruments, are Instruments made between private persons, by the private authority of the contractors themselves only without public authority, wherefore although they being proved by witnesses, or otherwise do prove the contracts & facts of the parties therein mentioned: yet of themselves without such proof, they prove nothing, as deeds of feoffment, obligations, acquitances, wills etc.  
Thirdly, Instruments be either of such persons as have natural capacity by birth, which every liege subject being borne within her majesties dominion hath by his nativity.  
Or by making, as every stranger borne hath, being by act of Parliament naturalised, or made a Denizen.  
Or else of such as have only civil capacity, as of all corporations or civil bodies, & lawful societies, colleges, guilds, fraternities, fellowships, & companies incorporate, as Majors, & commonalties, bailiffs, & burgesses, deans & chapters, Bishops, Parsons, Vicars, etc. & all such as have succession perpetual, & take to them & their successors.  
Fourthly instruments be either sealed and delivered, or not sealed and delivered.  
Fiftly of their form also, Instruments be either polled, and single, or indented.  
A polled deed, is a deed testifying, that only the one of the parties to the same hath put his seal thereunto, after the manner following: Sciant pnsentes & futuri quod ego W. W. de R. in come C. generosus, dedi, concessi, & hac praesenti charta mea confirm T. D. de S. in eodem come are, unum mesuag', & xx. acras ter̄ cum pertin' in R. pnd in praed' come C. Habend & tenend' ten' pnd, cum pertin' praef. T. D. haered', & assign' suis in ꝑpet, ad solum, ꝓprium opus & usum eiusdem T. D. haered', & assignat' suor imperpet. Tenend' de capital' Dnis feod' illius per seruitia inde prius debita, & de iurè consuet̄. Et ego vero praefat' W. W. & haeredes mei ten' praed' come pertin' praefat' T. D. haered' & assignat' suis contra omnes homines warrantizabimus, & imperpetuum defendemus per praesentes. In cuius rei testimonium huic praesenti chartae meae sigillum meum apposui, datum 30. die Martij, Ann. regni Dominae nostrae Eliz. Dei gratia Angliae Franciae, & Hibern Reginae, fidei defensoris, etc. 36. Anno Dom. 1594.  
These deeds polled, are also termed Chartae privatae & simplices, because there is only one part thereof which aught to remain with the grantee, donee, feoffee, leassee, etc.  
And poll deeds may begin thus. Omnibus Christi fidelibus ad quos praesentes literae pervenerint W. W. etc. salutem in Dno sempiternam. Sciatis me praesatum W. W. etc. Or thus, Pateat universis per praesentes me W. W. dedisse etc. Or thus, Omnibus Christi fidelibus praesentes literas inspecturis.  
Or thus by a Nobleman, placing his name with all his titles of honour at the beginning thereof. Praenobilis Gilbertus Com̄ Salop', dns Furnival verdon & Strange de Blackmere Dominus Luftoft, nobilis equestris ordinis Garterij sodalis Regiaeque Maiestati à sacris consilijs etc. salutem etc. Sciatis me prefat' Comitem, etc. and the like of others, etc. Or thus, Christianis vniuers. praes. scriptum inspecturis sive auditur, etc. Or thus, Haec billa testat, quod etc.  
Or thus by a Corporation, Noverint universi per praesentes nos R. I. Maiorem burgi de Donc, & Communitatem eiusdem burgi ex unanimi nostr consensu & assensu, dedisse, etc.  
Or by the Queen, or by any other king or Prince thus, Elizabeth dei gratia Angliae, Franciae, & Hibern Reg. fidei defensor etc. Omnibus ad quos pnsent litter nostr' perven salutem, Sciatis nos, or sciatis quod nos etc. Or thus, Elizabeth etc. Archiepisc. Episc. Ducibus, Comitibus, Baronibus, Militibus etc. Sciatis quod nos, etc. Or thus, Reg. univers. & singulis justiciarijs, & Custod ' forestar, Maioribus, Coronatoribus, Eschaetor, Vicecom, Forestarijs, custodibus pacis, venditoribus victual' & cariag', ac omnium aliarum rerum quarumcunque pro expensis hospicij nostri, Constabular, Ballivis, Officiar, Ministris, & omnibus subditis nostris quibuscunque, tam infra libertatem quam extra, ad quos etc. Sciatis etc.  
And in many other like forms according to the quality of the person, to whom her highness Patents are directed. In which who so desireth to be further instructed, may plentifully be satisfied by perusing of the Register, etc.  
And the sealing of the Queen's letters P. are commonly concluded with these or the like words, (viz.) In cuius rei testimonium has literas nostras fieri fecimus patentes. Teste meipsa apud W. 3. die Maij, Anno regni nostri 36:  
And the ensealing of a deed by a corporation thus: In cuius rei testimonium sigillum nostrum commune praesentibus apposuimus. Datum in Guilhalda Burgi praedicti etc.   

¶ Of deeds indented.  
A Deed indented is a deed consisting of two parts or more, in which 
Sect. 47.  it is expressed, that the parties to the same deed, have to every part thereof interchangeably, or severally set their several Seals, And they are most commonly made in this form. (viz.)  
Haec Indentura facta inter A. B. de C. in comitatu Ebor' H. ex una part, & E. F. de G. in comitatu H. Y. ex altera part, Testatur quod praed' A. B. dedit, concessit, & hac pnsenti charta indentata confirmavit praefato E. F. & haered' suis xx. acr terr' etc. Habend' etc. In cuius rei testimonium parts praed' sigill' sua praesentibus alternatim apposuerunt. Datum, etc. Or thus. In evils rei testm uni parti huius praesentis Indentur penes praesatum E. F. reman' paed' A. B. sigillum suum apposuit, alteri vero parti eiusdem Indenturae penes praefatum A. B. remanent praefat' E. F. sigill' suum apposuit, Dat' xx. die lan. Anno etc.  
Or the date thereof may be put in the beginning of the deed thus. Haec Indentura facta xx. die lan. anno regni etc. Inter A. B. etc. & C. D. etc. Testatur etc. These deeds indented, or Indentures & deeds Poll, may be made in the first person also, but are most usually made in the third person. And in the first person be of this form, Omnibus Christi fidelibus ad quos hoc praesens scriptum, Or praesens charta, Or praesentes literae indentatae pervenetint, A, de B. etc. salutem in Domin sempiternam etc. Sciatis me praef. A. B. dedisse, concessisse, & hac pnsenti chart̄ mea indent̄ confirmasse C. D. etc. xx. acras terr' etc. Habend' & tenend' etc. vel sic, Sciant praesentes & futuri etc. vel Noverint universi per pnsentes etc. vel Pateat universis etc. qued ego A. B. de etc. dedi, concessi, & hoc praeienti scripto meo indentato confirmavi C. D. xx. acras te●rae etc. Habend' etc. In cuius rei testimon̄ tam ego praef. A. B quam prefat' C. D. his Indenturis sigilla nostra alternatim apposuimus, Datum etc. vel sic, In cuius rei testimonium uni parti huius praesentis Indentur sigillum meum apposui, alteri vero parti eiusdem Indenturae praefatus C. D. sigillum suum apposuit, Datum, etc.  
And both parts of such deeds Indented be the deeds of both the parties to the same: And every part of such Indentures is the deed of either of the said parties, and each part is of as much force and effect alone, & as beneficial to either of the said parties, as both parts thereof together.  
These deeds indented are not only bypartite as these above mentioned, but also may be made tripartie, that is of three parts, or quadrupartite, quinquepartite, or of as many parts as shall be needful in form abovesaid, Mutatis mutandis etc. as by sundry examples in this preseut discourse may appear.  
And these deeds indended or Indentures are most commonly indented or cut one of them into another. But the cutting of them in that manner only doth not suffice to make them deeds indented, nor the calling of them so by the parties, if the putting too of the seals, in form abovesaid be not therein expressed. Thus much generally for the several forms of deeds.   

¶ Observations necessary for the making of Instruments.  
IN the form of every Instrument it seemeth needful to consider 
Sect. 48.  the substance thereof, and of the adjuncts. Touching the substance, a deed doth consist of two principal parts, namely the premises and consequence thereof.  
The premises of an Instrument is the former part thereof, and is commonly said to be all that which preceadeth the Habendum or limitation of the estate.  
In the premises of Instruments are principally to be considered three things.  
The first, the person contracting, next the thing, matter, or fact whereof the contract is to be made, and then the words with which the said contract is to be described.  
The persons are the very efficient causes of the Instruments, by whose consent they are agreed upon and made.  
And the persons to Instruments be either active or passive.  
The active person in Instruments is he which maketh the Instruments, or which giveth, feoffeth, releaseth, confirmeth, granteth, sealeth, dareth, delivereth, letteth, departeth with, covenauteth, or promiseth any thing: or shortly he which maketh any contract or bargain, to, or with any other, and is named according to the contract: As the donor, feoffor, lessor, obligor, releasor, grantor, confirmor, seller, lender, bargainer, etc.  
The passive person in Instruments, is he, unto whom the Instruments be made, and which taketh thereby, who is likewise diversly named, according to the several natures of the contracts, to or with them made.  
In the persons 2. things are to be heeded: The capacities: & nams'.  
Touching capacity, consideration is to be had, that the active persons which should make any deeds be persons able to do it: namely, that they be voided of all impediments, either natural or civil: of which we have entreated before amongst contracts.  
And the passive persons be such as be capable of things which should be given or transferred unto them, and void of the like impediments, and not dead persons in law, as Monks, Friars, Nuns, and such superstitious votaries.   

¶ Of the names and Additions of persons.  
ANd touching the names or Additions of the parties to Instruments, 
Sect. 49.  it is requisite, that they be certainly named by their names of baptism & surnames, with a lawful & sufficient additions of place, estate, degree, mystery, or occupation, to distinguish them from all other persons of like name, whether such person be King, Prince, Duke, marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron or Lord, which be names of great Nobility and honour: Or he be a Knight, Esquire, or Gen 〈…〉, which for difference are termed names of less Nobility or honour: Or he be a ye woman, husbandman, artificer, or labourer: Or else if it be any Ecclesiastical person, as Archbishop, Bishop, Archdeacon, Deane, Parson, Vicar, Clerke, etc. Or if it be any Corporation, or body civil or politic, having Covent & common seal, as bailiff, & Burgesses, Mayor & Commonalty, or other brotherhood, etc. And for the avoiding if confusion & error, thus: Sciant etc. quod ego W. W. de R. in come E. gen, dedi, etc. T. N. de R. in eodem comitatu Tailor etc. and such like.   

¶ Of the matters and things or facts whereof Instruments be made.  
ANd as concerning the matters, things & facts whereof Instruments 
Sect. 50.  are to be described, are also to be considered 2. things: First the things or facts themselves, & then their necessary circumstances.  
And as for the things themselves, it is to be weighed, whether the very bodies of the things themselves be to be contracted for, as lands or goods etc. or the rights pertaining to the persons in the use of the bodies of things: as wares, use, fruits, & profits, which we take thereby. And in things is to be noted whether they be corporal or incorporal.  
Corporal things are such as of their own nature may be felt or seen, and they be either movable or immovable. Things movable are those which may be removed out of one place into another: as garments, fruits of the earth, beasts, rents, etc.  
Things immovable be such things as cannot be removed from place to place, which be therefore called things of the soil or ground, as the very groci●● itself, and things fixed to the same, which cannot be removed without the destruction thereof, as trees planted therein, houses thereupon builded, etc.  
Things incorporal be such as by their own nature can neither be seen nor felt, & are comprehended only by understanding, & therefore can neither be 〈◊〉 nor divided, as property, possession, inheritance, service, advowsons of Churches, wardships, the use and fruition of things civil, obligations, contracts, alienations, and at a word all rights aswell to have the very things themselves, or the use thereof: as liberty to go through another man's soil, common of pasture, way, liberty to hawk, hunt, or fi●h, etc. notwithstanding that the subjects whereunto they be annexed are corporale as the so●●● incorporal, yet the right to enjoy or inherit the same incorporal.  
Which things being thoroughly surveyed, the writer must have special regard, what manner of thing is to be contracted for ● whether it be honour, castle, manor, house, land, meadow, pasture, farm, parsonage, advowson, office, park, pond, warren 〈…〉 wardships, marriages, ways, common, or other things whatsoever, setting them down by their apt & usual names, if they have any, or by such other accidents & circumstances, as may certainly describs, and distinguish them from all other, as the Town, Hamlet, and County where the thing lieth, hutting it at th'ends, and binding●t at the sides (if need be) and expressing in whose occupation it is be hath been, who was ancientancient, owner thereof etc. As unum masi●●● cum pertin' in S. in come C. vocat' Cowhal jacent inter tennt I S. ex pte Boreali, & ten̄tum T. S. ex part australi, & abuttat ad orient̄ caput so ꝑ tenntum D. D. & ad occident̄ caput so ꝑ ten̄tum L. T. que nu ꝑ ꝑquisnui mihi, & hered' meis de N. N. & nunc sunt vel nu ꝑ fuor in occupatione S. T. vel assignator svorum etc. expressing all things certainly with apt significant wards, & therein eschewing all Metaphorical, figurative, & borrowed speeches, & all words of divers or doubtful significations.   

¶ What words are to be used in the making of Instruments.  
Such words must be used in every Instrument, as the nature of the 
Sect. 51.  contract doth require: As in Feoffements, feoff 〈◊〉 or co●●cessi, etc. In a Release, Romisi, or 〈…〉 Confirmavi, Ratificani, etc. In bargain and sale, Bargainani & vendidi &c. So of other in the premises, and like, with such words as be requisite, & are expressed in tother parts of deeds.   

¶ Of the consequence of Deeds.  
THus much touching the premises or first part of Instruments, 
Sect. 52.  Now let us enter into consideration of the subsequence or sequel thereof. The latter part of Instruments, and consequence thereof is all that necessarily followeth the premises, and that is the Habendum, in which is limited and ●●●●●essed what estate or property the party passive shall have: as f●e▪ sail, etc.  
And that is two fold, namely the limitation of the state & of 〈◊〉.  
The limitation of the estate is to limit and express in certain, what estate the party shall have in the thing contracted.  
The limitation of those is to express in the said Habend, to or for whose use & benefit he shall have the same estate, r●●iting with all the thing granted by some sufficient general name: as H●bēd & teneodi praed' manner imperpet (if a man●● be granted 〈◊〉 the premises) pnd mesuag' cum pertin' or tennta praed' come pertin', as the case requireth pref. I. S. & haered' & assign' suis imperpet, ad opus & usum praed' I. S. haered' & assignator snor imperpet.   

¶ Of the adjuncts or accindents of Instruments.  
THus are the essential parts of Instruments discussed, The adjuncts 
Sect. 53.  now come in place.  
Wherein are all those things which come to the Instruments beside the essential parts thereof, which likewise be of two sorts: for either they be adjuncts common to either of the said parties, or proper to the one part only.  
Adjuncts common are two, the date of deeds, and the consideration of the contract.   

¶ Of the date of deeds.  
THe date is the description of the time in which the deed was made 
Sect. 54.  which is done either by the year of our L. or the year of the Prince's reign, & it aught either to be placed in the beginning of the premises, or in the end of consequence, of which see examples thereof ensuing.   

¶ Of the cause of considerations of deeds.  
THe considerations of Instruments is the motive cause, for which 
Sect. 55.  the Instruments are made, as money or other goods, affection natural or such like, which is most commonly, & in my conceit most ap●ly expressed in the premises, and which nevertheless may be put in the consequence, and in many cases be omitted. Of both examples hereof are many in the second book.   

¶ Of Adjuncts proper to the consequence of Instruments.  
A Diuncts of the consequence of Instruments are such as are most 
Sect. 56.  commonly set down after that Habend '. And they be of divers sorts.  
As the reservation, Reddend ', if any rent, suit or service be reserved.  
The reenere.  
The nomine penae.  
The clause of distress.  
The tenend ' showing the land is holden touching things inheritable.  
The clause of warranty general or special or particular.  
The exceptions out of whole things.  
The conditions and provisoes.  
All covenants are to be made of either side according to every several contract.  
As to be saved harmless or discharged, to be ●●ised in fe● etc.  
To have power to cell.  
To be owner of the tenements or chattelsfold.  
To make further assurance.  
To be seized to the alievees use.  
For quiet enjoying etc.  
And every other necessary covenant according to the nature and quality of the thing or fact, whereof the contract is made, & the manner of the contracts made. Regarding heedfully all circumstances of the place, person, occasion, thing, manner of doing, cause, exception, condition, according to the true meaning and agreement of the parties curiously without prejudice, parciality or favour to either of them.  
Than followeth the drawing of such Instruments in form after some precedent ensuing, as the quality of the fact or contract exacteth: whether it be a feoffment, grant, release etc. or any other Instrument.  
Than must such first draft be circumspectly examined, perused, concluded and agreed upon by the parties or their counsel.  
When such draft is so agreed upon, than it is to be fair written & engrossed in paper or parchment, without blotting, rasing, enterlining, writing every word plainly at length, without any abbreviations, cyphers, signs, or notes, which may breed any scruple or doubt.  
Than must they be warily & precisely read over, & examined twice or thrice at the lest, jest any thing be inserted, detracted, omitted, altered or mistaken, differing from the parties good meaning.  
For Instruments once sealed and delivered, may be altered or amended in nothing.  
All things being thus dispatched, the Instruments are to be subscribed by the parties.  
And by them sealed with hard ware like to continued long.  
And when Instruments are sealed and subscribed, they must be openly read and published in the hearing of divers substantial credible witnesses, and afterwards delivered in their presence, as the acts and deeds of the parties.  
These things so finished, the sealing & delivery of such deeds must be certified upon the back side thereof, or in some other convenient place thereof, thus: Sealed and delivered in the presence of A. B. C. D. E. F. etc. And choose always such young witnesses which can subscribe their own names if you can getthem.  
Deeds in old time were wont to be delivered in the presence of men of greatest credit & worship that could be gotten. And many times in open Courts, or great assemblies of people for credit and proof.    
The end of the first Book.   

The first part of Symboleography containing Instruments Extraiudicial, Agreements, Cove nants, Contracts, Grants, etc.  
ALthough by order we learn how to do things, & then put the same in practice, yet the very actions themselves are worthily deemed far more excellent and honourable than the bore knowledge thereof: by so much as the end is more precious than all the means by which the same is attained.  
For as in Schools in vain should children spend their time in learning the rules of Grammar, touching either the Etymology or Syntaxis thereof, if they did not after apply their knowledge to the use of speaking and writing.  
And as Physicians should unprofitably store themselves with the understanding of the several natures and properties of herbs and roots, and other simples, or of the Art of Physic, if they did not show us, the use and fruit thereof in curing diseases, and restoring health: So doubtless the doctrine of all other Arts and Sciences, is idle and barren if use and practice be not therewith conjoined. And therefore we always account those things which are wrought by art, of far more passing excellency than we do the Art itself.  
Neither doth any doubt that it is harder to practise an Art, then only to learn the Theorike part thereof: For neither they which know the several kinds and measures of verses, with the laws of versifying, are thereby strait ways Poets: Nor they which have learned by hart all the tropes figures and precepts of Rhetoric, are by and by Orators: for to their knowledge they must needs couple long use and exercise before they win the names of perfect Poets, or eloquent Orators.  
Even so, it sufficeth not for a notary to know only what Instruments & contracts be, what things and acts they may be made of, & by what persons, with such other general notions. For ere he be worthy that name, he must thoroughly know the several tenors & forms of every special instrument, in each kind of contract & business.  
Wherhfore as heretofore I have generally in some measure laid down the doctrine of Instruments: so in these which follow, I intent to show certain forms of every kind of Instruments, as they have heretofore long time been used, & approved by learned men of great experience: from whose sound examples therein, I think it not good rashly to serve, because it is a far surer course, to retain those certain forms which continually have been many years put in ure, then to devise new: For that, time, who is the touchstone of all Arts, hath confirmed these.  

SYMBOLEOGRAPHY. Of Covenants, Articles, Promises, Contracts, and Agreements etc.  
ANd for so much as Covenants are inserted 
Sect. 57  into all manner of instruments, I think it good first to show examples thereof having defined what manner of instruments they be: an Instrument of Covenants therefore is a formal deed containing an agreement of divers persons, whereby the one doth promise or covenant with the other to do or omit some act or acts, thing or things in such sort as they have concluded thereof amongst themselves, & they are most commonly made with these words following, or the like in effect.  

¶ The words wherewith covenants be made or written.  
THis Indenture made &c. between A. B. of C. etc. on the one party, 
Sect. 58.  & C. D. of etc. on the other party, Witnesseth that the said A. B. for himself, his heirs, executors, and administrators and every of them doth by these presents covenant, grant, promise and agreed to & with the said C. D. his heirs, executors and administrators etc. and every of them that the said A. B. expressing the thing agreed upon by apt words.   

¶ Or thus between two & two.  
Witnesseth that the said A. B. and C. D. do by these presents for themselves and either of them and the heirs, executors and administrators of them and either of them, and every of them covenant, grant, promise, and agreed, to, and with the said E. F. and G. H. and either of them and the heirs, executors and administrators of them and of either of them, and every of them, that they the said A. B. and C. D. etc.   

¶ Or thus between three and three.  
Witnesseth that the said A B. C. D. and E. F. for themselves and every of them and the heirs, executors, and administrators of them & every of them do by these presents covenant, grant, promise & agreed to and with the said G. H. I. K. & L. M. & every of them & the heirs, executors and administrators of them and every of them, that if it happen etc.   

¶ Covenants between Executors where the one granteth the goods to the other being bound to perform the william.  
THis Indenture made &c. between R. S. & H. M. etc. Witnesseth 
Sect 59  that whereas T. S. now deceased late brother of the said R in his life time did make his last will & testament in writing, & therein made and ordained the said R. & I then wife of the said T. and now wife of the said H. executor's thereof, as by the said testament & last will appeareth. And where also the said H. & I. have & enjoy not only all such goods and chattels which the said T. did give and bequeath unto the said I. but also all plate, money, & all other goods & chattels which were of the said T. S. at the time of his decease: the said parties to these present Indentures been condescended and agreed in manner and form following: that is to say, The said H. M. for him his executors and administrators, & every of them doth covenant etc. to and with the said R. S. his executors and administrators and every of them by these presents, that he the said H. and I. his wife, or one of them, or that executors, administrators or assigns of them, or of one of them, shall and will content and pay or cause to be paid unto the said R. S. his executors, or administrators, or to the executors of the suruivor of the said executors forty pounds of etc. within 6. months next after the full age of G. and H. S. sons of the said T. S. or of either of them if they or either of them shall so long live, or else within one year next after the decease of the survivor of them the said G. and H. if both the said G. & H. S. shall die before either of them shall come to, & be of his said full age. Provided always and the said H. M. for him etc. doth covenant etc. that if the same I. now wife of the said H. M. shall departed this present life before the said G. and H. S. or either of them shall come and be of his said full age, and the said G. & H. S. or either of them surviving the said I. That then the said H. M. his heirs etc. shall content & pay, or cause to be contented & paid unto the said R. S. his executors or administrators or to the executors of the suruivor of the executors of the same R. S. the sum of xx. l. etc. within one year next after such decease of the same I. And over this the said H. M. for him etc. doth covenant etc. that he the said H. M. & I. his wife & their exe●̄, adm and assigns, & every of them, of his, her, and their proper costs and charges, during the marriage betwixt him the said H. and the said I. shall well and sufficiently sustain, and maintain the houses & buildings which be set and builded upon such customary lands & tenements in W. in the said county of N. which the said H. M. & I. in the right of the said I. now have and do hold for term of life of the said I. And that he the said H. M. & I nor either of them shall do no manner of waist in or upon the said customary lands and tenements, or any parcel thereof. And also where the said H. M. together with I. B. of S. & I D. of W. by their writing obligatory do standjointly & severally bound unto the said R. S. in one hundred pounds of good etc. with & upon condition thereupon endorsed for the true performance of the covenants, grants, payments, and agreements contained in these present Indentures on the part of the said H. M. his heirs, executors, administrators, & assigns, or any of them to be performed, paid, or kept, as by the said writing obligatory, and condition aforesaid more plainly it doth and may appear: The said H. M. for him etc. doth covenant etc. to & with the said R. S. etc. that if an●e two of the persons bound in or by the said writing obligatory, or any two of any other persons hereafter to be bound, in, or by any other writing obligatory to be made for the same purpose, shall die & departed this present life before all the covenants, grants, articles, payments, and agreements, in these present Indentnres contained, shallbe well and truly performed and kept, that then the suruivor of the persons bound by any such writing obligatory shall with two other sufficient sureties within two years next after such departure or death as is last aforesaid, by their sufficient and lawful writing obligatory become jointly & severally bound to the said R. S. his executors or administrators, or to the executors of the suruivor of the executors of the said R. S. in the sum of etc. with and upon condition in effect as is aforesaid, and so often to found and lay in such bonds with such sureties as is aforesaid, as any such death or deaths, as is aforesaid, shall happen, as is afore declared, during the said time. And over this the said R. S. for him, etc. doth covenant to and with the said H. M. etc. that he the said R. S. his etc. shall acquit, discharge, & from time to time for ever save harmless the said H. M. & I his wife, and either of them, & all the executors, administrators, & assigns of them & either of them against the said G. C. & H. S. & either of them of all and singular legacies, gifts, & bequests which the said T. their father did by his last will and testament give and bequeath to the same G. C. and H. S. and either of them. In witness whereof etc.   

¶ Covenants to sue Statutes.  
THis Indenture made &c. between R. D. & W. M. on th'one partty, 
Sect. 60.  & R. B. etc. on tother party. Witnesseth, That whereas the said R. is lawfully entitled to a certain deed obligatory, made by the said W. M. according to the statute of Acton Burnel, & knowledged, etc. before H. A. then Mayor of the city of C. unto P. D. in the sum of etc. commonly called a statute merchant: by mean whereof, the said W. M. at this day, is, & for a long time hath been grieved. For the better help & ease whereof, & for divers other considerations, the said parties & every of them moving, they are condescended & agreed, in manner & form following, that is to wit. The said W. & R. & either of them are well pleased, contented, & agreed, & further covenant & grant, to, & with the said R. that what time it shall please the said R. & as often, and at all & every time and times, as he shall so please, and when he shall think it most to him convenient to sue forth execution, upon the said statute merchant, and to do his best, & uttermost endeavour, for the obtaining of the same, & also to extend all & singular the lands & tenements which were the said W. M. at the time of the making of the said statut Merchant, or at any time sithence, as far forth, and in as ample manner & wise, as the laws, usages & customs of this realm, will bear & permit, that the said W. & R. nor any of them, shall not in any wise hinder, let, or gainsay the same.

Statutes and Statutes Merchant.  
A Statute is a bond of Record sealed, testifiing 
Sect. 105.  the debtor to own unto the creditor a certain sum of money. And the same bond is knowledged before such persons, and in such manner as is appointed by Statutes in that behalf made. And thereof been such bonds termed Statutes, and they be of two sorts: that is to say, Statutes Merchant, and Statutes Staple. A Statute Merchant is a bond knowledged before one of the Clerks of the Statutes Merchant and Mayor or chief warden of the City of London, or two Merchants of the said City for that purpose assigned, or before the Mayor, chief Warden or Master of other Cities or good Towns, or other sufficient men for that purpose appointed. And sealed with the seal of the debtor, & of the King, which is of two pieces, the greater is kept by the said Mayor, chief Warden etc. and the lesser piece thereof by the said Clarks. The fee for the said Seal is for Statutes knowledged in Fairs of every pound an halfpenny, and out of Fairs of every pound a farthing. The execution upon Statutes Merchant is first to take the body of the debtor, if he be lay, and can be found, if otherwise, then upon his lands and goods. 13. Ed. 1. cap. And it is made in form following.

¶ Feoffements.  

¶ Of Feoffements, and what a feoffment is.  
A feoffment, Feoffamentum, or rather Feufamentum, for it 
Sect. 235.  seemeth to be derived of Feudum, a Gottish word, so called a fide vel fidelitate, which is defined of the Civil Lawyers, A loving and free grant of a thing either immovable, or of like nature, by transferring of the use and profit thereof, retaining the very property under the doing of Fealty, and other services. And of some it is said to be a kind of protection or patronage, safeguard, or homage, whereby some dignity, pension, or ground, is in such manner given or granted to any man, that he and his heirs and posterity should for ever acknowledge the author of the same good turn, and worship him as their Patron or Lord, and defend his person, honour, lands, & goods &c. By which I gather, that Feoffamentum generally signifieth donationem feudi. But with us it is properly any gift or grant of any honours, castles, manors, messages, lands, or other corporal immovable things of like nature, to another and his heirs for ever, by the delivery of seisin and possession of the thing given, whether the gift be made by word or writing. And when it is by writing, it is called a deed of feoffment. And in every feoffment the giver is called the feoffor, feoffator: and he that receiveth by virtue thereof the feoffee, feoffatus. As in these examples following.   

¶ A feoffment of lands descended.

Livery of seisin.  
ALbeit deeds of feoffment thus made be sealed & delivered 
Sect. 251.  by the feoffor unto the feoffee, and openly read, yet the things in such Charters contained pass not without livery of possession and seisin, Litt Sect' 59 & 60. For no feoffment can be made without Livery of seisin. It is meet therefore I should show what Livery of seisin is, and to what end it was invented, and how it aught to be made. It is termed in Latin, Traditio possessionis, Inuestitura, vulgo deliberatio seisinae, which is nothing else, but datio possessionis, for Tradere non significat rei proprietatem da●e, sed rem ipsam accipienti porrigere eiusue possessionem ad illum transfer. Wherefore we may well define Livery of seisin to be a Ceremony in our Law, used in the conveying of lands or tenements, or other things corporal (for of things incorporal no Livery of seisin may be) by feoffment from one man to another, in fee simple, fee tail, or for the term of life, as an argument or token of the willingness of the feoffor to departed with, & of the feoffee to receive the thing whereof the feoffment is made. Which was ordained at the first, that the common people might thereby have notice of th'alteration of such estates, and so better know in whom the right thereof remained, for their common quiet and repose. Perkins 209. 210. Bracton Lib. 2: cap. 18. Sect'. 1. 2. The usual manner of delivery of seisin of houses, lands or tenements is, that the feoffor and feoffee if they be present, or in their absence, their Procurators or Attorneys (by sufficient warrants of attorney in writing) do come to the house or place whereof seisin is to be delivered: And there in the presence of sundry good witnesses openly read, or cause to be read, the deed of feoffment and letter of Attorney thereof, or to declare the very effect thereof before them in English. Which being so done, the feoffor or, his Attorney must take a clot of earth, or a bough, or a twig of a tree thereupon growing, or the ring or haspe of the door of the house, and deliver the same with the said deed unto the feoffee or his Attorney, saying: I deliver these unto you in name of possession and seisin of all the lands and tenements contained in this deed, to have and to hold according to the form and effect of the same deed.  
If the feoffment be without deed (as it may well be) then at the time of the delivery of seisin, must be expressed the very estate which the feoffee must have thereby. In delivery of Seisin, all persons having any lawful possession or seisin in the thing of which seisin is to be delivered, aught either to join together in the making of the Livery of seisin, or to be removed thence, as lessees for years, or for life: for every Livery aught to bring an immediate possession unto the feoffee, Littleton Sect ' 61. & 418. Also if the feoffment be of divers parcels of lands lying in several Towns in one County, Livery of seisin in any part thereof sufficeth for all, if they be then in the feoffors' possession and out of lease. But if they be in divers Counties, or in lease, or out of his possession, it is convenient that he enter into every parcel thereof and make Livery of seisin in every several parcel thereof, for he can give no possession unto his feoffee if he have it not in himself at the very instant of the delivery of seisin made, Littlet cap. 18. Sect ' 1. And Bracton saith, Non iaceb●t seisina aliquo tempore medio vacua. By Livery of seisin the feoffor transferreth unto the feoffee all that he hath in the things whereof the Livery is made, according to the state thereupon limited. If two several deeds of feoffment be made to two several persons of one self thing it passeth unto him unto whom seisin is first delivered according to the verse.  
Rem domino vel non domino vendente duobus,  
In iure est potior, traditione prior.  
Where the gift or grant is of lands or tenements in lease, they commonly pass by Atturnment of the particular tenants thereof, & not by Livery of seisin. And the like order is to pass things which cannot pass but by grant in writing, as services, reversions, remainders, rents, commons etc. of which it shallbe entreated in the Chapter of Grants, Litt Sect ' 283. Also by every Livery of seisin passeth an estate of freehold at the lest.

And forasmuch as we found neither proof nor sufficient ground whereby we may understand that the said I. and W. or any of their issue should be villains or bound unto us, but by evident proof in sundry wise brought & showed to us, we rather understand the contrary to be true, therefore we being desirous to set all doubtful matters apart, and willing also the said I. and W. to be no further grieved or molested wrongfully without sufficient cause, & that they may from henceforth live in surety of the same, have remised, released, etc. ut supra in the ●ormer Manumission of a bondman.    

Attornement.  

¶ The form of endorsing or entering of Attornement of Tenants.  
ANd because lands and tenements and such things as naturally 
Sect. 382.  lie in grant cannot be transferred from one to another by bore grants of the parties, without the attornement and agreement of others, it is meet somewhat to discourse of Attornement. An Attornement therefore is the agreement of the tenants of the land, which is when the signory, rent, reversion, or remainder is granted unto him to whom the same is granted. And every Attornement is either actual, or in law: An actual Attornement is the expressed consent of the tenant to such grant in any such deed by some overt or open act, as by saying, I become your tenant according to this deed: Or that he liketh well thereof, or is contented therewith, or that he attorneth tenant to the grantee according to the tenor thereof, giving to him some money in name of Atto●nement etc. Littleton 551. Plowden 25. a. 344. a. Attornement in law is when the person that aught to attorne doth not by plain and express woord●, as is aforesaid, declare his consent to such a grant, but doth some other such act as in law sufficiently implieth and argueth his agreement thereunto: As if there be Lord and Tenant, and the tenant leaseth for life to a woman, the remainder in fee to an other, and the woman taketh an husband to whom the Lord granteth the services: Or if there be Lord and Tenant, who marrieth a wife, and after the Lord granteth the services to her, and her husband accepteth the deed: Or if a lease be made for life, or years, and after he that hath the reversion or remainder, granteth the same to his lessee, who accepteth of the deeds. These and such like be Attornements in law, Littleton Sect 558. 559. 560. 561. 564. etc.   

¶ Attornement of tenant for life.  
MEmorandum that the within named E. M. being tenant for 
Sect. 383.  term of life of the said manor of Q. and other the lands and inheritance expressed in this Indenture, did the 5. day of I. in this present month of june, the 32. year of the Queen's majesties reign that now is, attorne unto the within named I. B. according to the effect of the grant mentioned in the said Indenture: And for proof thereof did give unto him the said I. in name of Attornement the sum of iiii. d. of usual English money. in the presence of these persons whose names are subscribed, viz. A. B. C. D. etc.   

¶ Or thus by divers Tenants.  
¶ Memorand ' that the persons whose names are under written, tertio die ●. & anno &c. did attorne & become tenants unto the within named E. B. and M. his wife, according to the purport of the lease within mentioned. And for proof thereof every one of them did give unto the said E. and M. one penny in the name of Attornement.

Letters of Attorney.  

¶ What and how necessary Atturneiss be.  
HItherto have we, in some sort, entreated of such acts & instruments 
Sect. 516.  as are made and done by the parties themselves, being personally present: now we intent to set down such Instruments, as give authority to other as their factors or Attorneys, to do the like for them. And that the rather, for that mention is made before, that Livery of feisin may be made by Proctors or Atturneiss, authorized thereunto by written Warrants. And even as Livery of seisin, so may many other acts and Instruments in civil causes be performed by Atturneiss which seemeth very reasonable, for that that many times the parties themselves, are so hindered either by infirmity, or by such multiplicity of business & affairs in sundry places at one time, that they cannot possibly be present at all: wherefore Atturneiss be very necessary & profitable for human society: which be defined such persons as by the consent, commandment or requests of the parties do take heed, see too, & take upon them the charge to do other men's business & affairs in their absence, according to the authority and trust to them committed by the owners thereof. In Instruments making & ordaining of Atturneiss, which be sometimes called letters of Attorney, sometimes Warrants of Attorney, sometimes Proxies or Procurations, seem necessarily to be considered six things, viz. First the name of the party which is to make the Instrument, & of him which is to be made Attorney. 2. The Atturneiss consent to the same. 3. Against whom. 4. In what matter or cause. 5. Before what judge or other person. 6. For what act or end, All which things will plainly appear in the ensamples following:

In most humble wise complaining showeth unto your most excellent Highness, your Orator and faithful subject T. D. of Greyes' Inn: That whereas one I D. deceased Doctor of the Laws, for the zeal and love that he had to his Country, and to the education and bringing up of youth in virtue and learning, gave, granted, confirmed, and assured certain lands and tenements in the County of Y. of the clear yearly value of fifteen pounds, above all charges and reprises, unto the Master, fellows, and Scholars of S. john's College in C. to have and to hold to them and their successors for ever, to the intent, that they the said Master, fellows, and Scholars, and their successors for ever, should remain and keep in their College five Scholars that had been brought up in the Grammar School, freely erected by the said I. D. in P. in your Grace's County of Y. for ever, in such manner and form, as is is contained in a deed of composition quadripartite Indented of the said I. D. bearing date the first day of September, in the year of our Lord God 1515. and in the seventh year of the Reign of the late king of famous memory Henry the eight, being made to the said Master, fellows, and Scholars, as more plainly doth and may appear. And amongst the provisions, grants, articles, and agreements of the said composition it is contained, That the Master, Wardens, and brethren of a certain Fraternity and Guild in P. aforesaid, founded there by the said I. D. by the licence of the said late King of famous memory H. viii. should always when the said Scholars rooms, or any of them fortuned to be void by death, resignation, forfeiture, or otherwise have the election, nomination, and appointment of a Scholar, or so many Scholars as then might, or would supply the room or rooms of the said Scholars then being vacant or voided in the said College. And that the said Masters, Fellows, & Scholars of saint john's College should always give knowledge unto the Masters, Wardens, and Brethrens of the said Guild, when any such avoidance should happen to fall by any the means aforesaid, within a certain time appointed within the said composition, as therein more plainly appeareth. And now most gracious Sovereign L. by reason of the Statute made in the first year of your most noble reign, for the dissolution of chantries, Colleges, free Chapels, Guilds, and Fraternities, although the meaning of the matters of the said Statute was not to hurt, altar, or change any such good and godly foundations, made only for the increase of learning, but rather to fortify, augment and enlarge such godly foundations and ordinances: yet that notwithstanding, the said fraternity and Guild only founded for the godly intentes aforesaid, by the said Statute made for the dissolution of Chantries, Fraternities and Guilds, as is aforesaid, colourably under the pretence of Fraternity superstitiously used, is no we dissolved and taken away, and by the means thereof the benefit and preferrment which the Scholars of the said free School in P. aforesaid have always had sithence the said foundation made, is likely to be clearly gone and taken away, most contrary to the meaning and good intent of the said godly ordinance & foundation. And yet the said College of Saint I. at this day is possessed and seized of the said lands & tenements, given only for the intents and purposes aforesaid, which thing is like to ensue to the great displeasure and loss of the inheritance of the said Town of P. and of all the Country there, unless it shall please your Majesty, that the said godly ordinance may be perfited, recontinued and established by some good and godly devise and ordinance. And whereas your said Orator is seized in his demean as of fee, aswell of the schoolhouse of the said free School, as also of all the lands and tenements purchased by the said I. D. Doctor of the Laws for the maintenance of the said free grammar School, without any use declared, And no other devise as yet made for the more perfect continuance of the said free grammar School, so that if your said subject should chance to die, whereof he is most assured, it is not certain that the said lands shallbe employed unto the use & godly intent aforesaid, as heretofore they have been. May it therefore please your most excellent highness, tenderly considering the premises, that it may be enacted with the assent of the Lords spiritual & temporal, & the commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, in manner and form following. First that it shall and may be lawful unto the said Master and Fellows of the said College of Saint I. in C. and their successors for ever, to nominate and appoint one discreet & well learned man to supply the room of the Schoolmaster of the said free grammar School. And that it shall be lawful for the said Schoolmaster, with the Churchwardens of the Parish Church of P. aforesaid, to nominate & appoint one sufficient learned young man to be the usher of the said free grammar School. And that as often as the said Schoolmasters room shall fortune to be voided by death, resignation, or otherwise: that then it shall be lawful for the said Masters and Fellows of S. I. College. and their successors for ever, to nominate and appoint one discreet and well learned man, as is aforesaid, to supply the room of the said Schoolmaster then being voided. And in like manner & as often as it shall fortune the said Ushers room to be voided by any the means aforesaid: that then it shall be lawful for the said Schoolmaster & Churchwardens, & their successors for ever, to nominate & appoint one well and sufficiently learned young man to supply the room of the said usher then being voided. And that the said Master and Usher for the time being for ever, shall by the authority of this present Parliament be incorporated by the name of Master and Usher of the said free grammar School of P. And that they and their successors, shall have perpetual succession in the same for ever. And that the said Schoolmaster & usher of the said free school of P. aforesaid for the time being, shall be enabled by th'authority of this present Parliament, to receive to them and their successors in perpetuity for ever, of the gift and grant of the said T. D. or of any other person or persons, lands, tenements, annuities, and rents of the clear yearly value of xx. l.. and not above, for the exercising and using of the said room & rooms of the Schoolmaster & Usher, of the said free grammar School. And that the said Master, & Usher, and either of them and their successors, and the successor of either of them, shall and may be enabled by the authority aforesaid to sue and be sued, to implead and to be impleaded, for any matter or cause concerning the said lands, tenements, annuities, and rents, or any parcel thereof, by the name of Master and Usher of the said free grammar School in P. aforesaid. And that from henceforth as often as the said five Scholars rooms, or any of them within the said College of Saint I. shall fortune to be voided by any the means abovesaid: that then it shall and may be lawful unto the said Master of the said free Grammar School in P. and his successors for ever etc. Nos autem tenores brevis & actus praedict', ad requisition T.

¶ Notes touching Presentations.  
IF a Church be voided by resignation, than ye shall say. 
Sect. 598.  Modo per liberam et spontaneam resignationem A. B. ultimi Incumbentis eiusdem, vacant etc.  
If by attainder, than thus.  
Per attiucturam A. B. ultimi incumbentis ibidem, qui de alta ꝓditrone nup er attinctus fuit vacant. Et sic de consimilibus.  
Also ye shall understand, that the King's Majesty hath as the case requireth, sundry Titles to present, for sometime he presenteth by his Prerogative Royal, and then ye shall say.  
Et ad nostram donation, ratione praerogativae nostrae Regiae spectantem etc.  
Sometime by reason that the Temporalities of a Bishopric be in his hands, and then ye shall say.  
Ratione temporalium Episcopatus N. in manibus nostris existentium.  
Sometime his Grace presenteth by the grant of an Aduowson of another man, and then ye shall say.  
Ratione concessionis A. B. cum idem A. primam et proximam advocationem eiusd' nobis largitus est etc.  
And if the manor whereunto thadvowson is appendent be parcel of the Duchy of Lancaster, than ye shall say.  
Et ad nostram donationem ratione Ducatus nostri Lancastr̄ spectant etc. Et sic de reliquis.  
In a presentation by this word Eccles. parochial ', is intended always a Parsonage: Howbeit now a days many be wont to writ, Ad Rectoriam Ecclesiae parochialis de N. But if the presentation be to a Vicarage, then may ye not say, ad Eccles. but ad Vicariam, And the presentment to a Vicarage appertaineth of common right to the Parson, for the Vicar in effect is but the Parson's deputy: Howbeit the Parson with assent of his Patron and ordinary may grant away the patronage of the Vicarage from him and his successors to another man and his heirs or successors for ever. Sometime one man hath the nomination to a benefice, and another the presentation: In which case he that hath the presentation can present no other person to the Ordinary, but such as the other man shall name by his sufficient writing under seal. Also the King shall join with no man in presentment, but shall have the whole presentment alone in all cases.  
And if the King be entitled by reason of the custody of his ward, than ye shall say: Et ad nostram donationem ratione custod' terrae & haeredis eiusdem Comitis de A. defuncti, & qui de nobis tenuit in capite, & in manu nostra existentis, spectant etc.  
And if the King be entitled by reason of the temporalties and possessions of an archbishopric or Bishopric, being in time of vacation in his hands, than ye shall say in the presentation: Et quae ad nostram spectat donation ratione Episcopat Cantuariam vacant, & in manu nostra existent': Or, ratione vacat●onis sedis Cant & temporalium eiusd', iam de iure & facto vacant, & in manibus nostris existentium etc.  
Finally, concerning chantries, Free chapels, and Prebends, ye shall observe and know, that some be presentative, and some donative. Presentatives, be of such nature, that ye cannot confer them but by way of presentation to the Ordinary, the form whereof is set forth before. But chantries, free Chapels, and Prebends donarive be of that nature, that ye need not to present the person to whom ye will confer the same, to the Ordinary, but it sufficeth to give the same by your charter of grant under your seal: The form whereof ensueth hereafter. But take heed ye present not your Clerk to the Ordinary unto that which is donative by your letters patents, for if you do, the nature is changed, and you can no more make collation of it, but you must needs now present your Clerk to the Ordinary, which if you do not within six Months, the Ordinary may take advantage of the Laps.

Copies of Court Roll.  

What a Copiholder is.  
TEnant by Copy of Court Roll, is he which is 
Sect. 603.  admitted tenant of any lands or tenements within a Manor, that time out of the memory of man, by the use and custom of the said Manor have been dimiseable & demised to such as will take the same in fee, fee tail, for life, years, or at will, according to the custom of the said Manor by Copy of Court Roll of the same Manor. And therefore they be called Tenants by Copy of Court Roll, because they have no other Writings or Evidence concerning such their lands and tenements, but only the Copies of the Rolls of the Courts of the Manners, within which they lie. And in ancient time, as Master Fitzherbert saith in his Natura brevium fol. 12. C. they were called Tenants in villeinage, or in base tenure, or by Verge. And in the Saxons time before the Conquest, such lands were called Folk●sland: At which time Charter lands were termed Bockland, Master Kitchen fol. 128. b. And Copies of Court Rolls be such Instruments as do contain the Surrenders, Presentations, Admittances, or other acts entered in the Rolls of the Court, within which such Customary lands lie and concern the estates thereof and be exemplified out of the same Rolls in form following, videlicet.  
Curia parva praenobilis G. Comitis Salop' etc. Manerij sui

¶ Instructions for the making of Surrenders and Copies.  
FIrst Note, that all the customs, fines, rents, and services, which 
Sect. 605.  Copyholders aught to do, be certainly set down in their Copies. And that the lands be certainly bounded. And in like manner of all Ours of Lead, Ore, Tin, Iron, stone, coals, and quarries, & such like, and all intakes, enclosures, and improvements.  
If the party admitted tenant be within age, his fealty must be respited till he be of the full age of xxi. years, and so entered in the Roll and Copy.  
Such estate, agreements, covenants, and conditions, may be made of Copyhold lands, by Copy, as are made of Charter lands by deed Mutatis mutandis.  
If the old Copies chance to be lost, or destroyed, the Steward may make new according to the ancient Court Rolls.  
Surrenders may be made in Court, And by the Customs of divers signiories, the same may be made out of the Court to the Steward, Bailiff, or Reeve of the manor, or to one, two, or more Copyholders of the same manor, or before two honest men of the same Signiory, and then the same must be presented at the next Court, or some other Court of the same manor, as the custom thereof is.  
By the custom of some Manors, Surrenders, and admittances of Copyholders may be made by Attorney, by virtue of Letters of Attorney.  
In some Manors, the tenants have their lands granted unto them, and their heirs, in fee, fee tail, or for life, or years, according to the custom of the Manor, And not at the will of the Lord, according to the custom: In which case the Rolls and Copies aught to be made accordingly.  
Within some Manors the Copies have used to be sealed with the Seal of the Steward: And in some not.  
In every case, the Custom of the manors must be diligently inquired of, and duly observed by such as make Surrenders and Copies.  
It is very good to have in every several Manor a Customary fair engrossed in parchment, of all the customs, fines, duties, estates, and services, & other circumstances concerning the Copyhold lands within the same Manor.  
Item such estates in fee, fee tail, for life, or lives, years, or at will, absolute or condicional, may be limited aswell by Copy, as by Charter, Mutatis mutandis.  
Item the Names and Additions of persons and Lands, and other circumstances of time and place may be so set down in Copies, as in Charters: Mutatis mutandis, And the same to be agreed to, by all the Customary tenants of the same Manor, with the assent of the Lord of the Manor, and to be presented by the Homage upon their oaths, and entered into the Rolls of the Court thereof, for the certain information of the Lord, and his tenants, or that aught to be given, taken, done, or demanded for the same.  
Item the same reservations of rents, customs, services, heriots, disseisins, reentries, and other things, may be contained in the Copies, as they be in Charters: Mutatis mutandis.

Last wills and Testaments.  
Having hitherto entreated of Instruments of 
Sect. 632.  such contracts as take effect in the life time of yus parties, with their manifold differences and examples: It is now time to deal with Instruments which take effect after their deaths. Of which sort be last Wills & Testaments, & letters of administration, which is a matter of no less difficulty than those other, aswell for their great diversity, as also for their obscurity, ambiguity, & incertainty: For many times it is doubtful in what sense the Testator would have his words taken, Insomuch that his will therein may rather by probable arguments be guessed then rightly gathered.  
By means whereof it happeneth oftentimes, that things well meant by the Testators, are evil and diversly understood by their posterity and survivors. Which difficulty deceiveth sometimes not only the common sort, but even men of good judgement: Insomuch that of one self question they pronounce different opinions.  
As if a man devise lands to I. S. to have & to hold to him for ever, and die, and the devisee enter into the same lands, some think he hath thereby fee, Littlet Sect. 586. and 22. E. 3.  
And others think he hath only an estate for the term of his life, for they hold that these words (for ever) can extend to none other than the devisee, because no more persons be named in the devise. And that the life of man in this respect, is said to be for ever with him. Perkins Sect. 557.  
But seeing all the ambiguities and incertainty of wills happen chief through their obscurity in the words or sentences thereof, it behoveth Notaries, and such as writ Wills, to have special care to set down the Testators very sense and mind very plainly, with apt and significant words and phrases omitting all such as be either hard to be understood or diversly to be taken.  
Notwithstanding that Wills being doubtful, are always to receive a benign and favourable interpretation, that if by any means it can, they may stand and be of force: for much better it is that Wills be perspicuous of themselves, then to be enlightened by the exposition and allowance of others.  
We will therefore in this treatise, discourse of some points of the doctrine and examples of last wills and Testaments plainly and briefly, leaving precise and curious questions to be handled by others of better skill.  

¶ Of civil succession, and what last Wills and Testaments be.  
LAst wills and Testaments, are a kind of Civil successions. 
Sect. 633.  For civil succession is divided into succession immediate or lawful, and mediate or testamentary.  
Succession mediate or testamentary, is when the person deceased made a william.  
This hath his efficacy by law, and that by man's will which receiveth full strength by and after the Testators death, and not before, and therefore is called a last william.  
The other is called lawful succession, because it hath being by the operation of law only.  
And the mediate succession, is termed testamentary (by Senecdoche) for that a testament is the principal kind or part of last wills.  
Hereby it seemeth with us that an Executor may be termed a successor testamentary, which is made by the last William.  
And an Administrator, a Successor lawful, which succeedeth him which dieth intestate.  
And for so much as while a Testament is hoped, there is no place for lawful succession, the doctrine of that aught to precede this.  
A last will therefore (ultima voluntas) is the disposition or bestowing of a man's own goods and lands, taking effect after his death.  
And it is Testamentary or Codicillarie: namely which is made by Testament, or Codicill, or Schedule.  
A testament is defined by most men voluntatis nostrae justa sententia, de eo quod quis post mortem suam ficri velit, for the perfiting of which definition, it seemeth good to add these words, (cum executoris institutione) for without an executor there can be no testament, for thappointment of an executor is the true formal cause thereof, giving essence thereunto.  
And therefore some shortly define a Testament (haeredis institutio) which is the naming of an executor, whereupon we may say, a Testament is a just sentence, or declaration of our mind, concerning that which we would have done after our deaths, with the ordaining of an Executor thereof.  
Or rather a testament is a last Will, which of his own nature in itself containeth a direct institution of an executor.  
The doctrine of Testaments standeth upon two parts, the making and a destroying thereof, both which, and also the will of every testator are to be measured by the rules of the law.  
The making of a Testament, is the right which giveth the communion or participation of the Testament. And this is chief regarded in the persons, and in the form of the Testament.  
And persons are principal or less principal: The principal persons be the testator and the executor, less principal be the witnesses and legatories: Hereupon the making only of a testament is active and passive.  
The active making of a Testament is which belongeth to the Testator, that he have right to make a Testament.  
And the passive making of a Testament, is that right which pertaineth to the executor and other persons less principal in Testaments, as to be made executors, legatories, or witnesses thereof, to take some legacies or benefits thereby.   

¶ What persons may make Testaments, and what not.  
¶ And all persons aswell males as females may be Testators and 
Sect. 634.  make Testaments, but such as are prohibited: of which some are forbidden to make Testaments by nature, and some by law.  
By nature, through defect of mind or body, but no longer than such defect endureth.  
This defect of mind is when either his age is such that he wanteth discretion, or being of age wanteth it by chance, either natural or casual: Of the first sort be children which know not what they should do, as men under xiiii. years old, & women under xii. years, which above that age may make Testaments, but not of their lands of inheritance before the age of xxi. years, 34. H. 8. cap. 5. S. Lib. 1. cap. 21. lib. 2. capit. 28. Hereunto may be added doting old persons wanting judgement, and drunkards voided of reason.  
Of the latter sort be mad folks and Idiots at the time of the making of the Testament.  
The defect of body, is such infirmity by which the principal senses necessary for the making of Wills are hindered, as deafness, blindness, and dumbnes.  
Dumb or deaf folks by nature can make no Testaments, but they being so by chance or accident may make testaments if they be learned, and can writ and read.  
And blind folks and dumb folks may in some cases by signs, if they could once speak.  
By law are forbidden Testari such as be subject to others power, as bondslaves, villains; (but such as be executors to others) and women covert, without consent of their husbands (except executrices to others, or of thoses in action) Monks, Ehanons, Friars, & such other superstitious votaries. 14. H. 8. 16. 2. R. 2. 5. And such as have no estate or habisitie, as Traitors, felons, convict, notorious heretics, Apostates, captives by iust wars, persons outlawed or waiuted, persons imprisoned by dures, a fellow of himself: for these persons have no goods:   

¶ Who may be Executors or legatories, and who not.  
¶ The passive making of a Willis a right to take by a Testament, 
Sect. 635.  which right allloiall subjects have, as freemen, villeins, men, women, single or married, children, yea, though they be in their mother's womb, lay men and clerks, But Traitors, Felons, heretics, apostates, persons outlawed, and such others, may not make Testaments: nay, neither be Executors nor legatories.   

¶ What persons may be witnesses of Testaments.  
¶ Persons less principal are witnesses of the making of the Testament, 
Sect. 636.  which must be three or four, or more sufficient persons having power to make Testaments, and voided of all natural and civil impediments which may impeach their credit and testimony.   

¶ How Testaments are to be made.  
¶ We have spoken of the persons requisite in Testaments: now 
Sect. 637.  let us view their form or manner of making and publishing of them. The form truly of making of Testaments, is the very disposition of the Testament rightly made, which is considered in the substance and inward form thereof, and in the outward action of making and proof of the same Testament.  
The substance or form of Testaments consisteth in the very institution and the ordaining of an Executor, and in the things of which disposition is thereby made.  
The institution of an Executor, is nothing else, but the Testators naming and appointment whom he will have to be his successor in his stead to enter and to have his goods and cattles; use actions against his debtors, and to pay his debts and legacies so far as his goods and cattles will extend.  
And an Executor may be either of all the Testament, and then he is termed universal, or of part, as of plate etc. and then he is named a particular Executor.  
Furthermore, the institution of an Executor is pure or mixed.  
A pure institution of an Executor, is, when one or more Executors be simply made without time or condition: for the Testator may assign as many Executors as he will, being capable thereof, as if he say, I make A. B. mine Executor, or any other words of the like sense.  
The mixed institution of a Testament is upon time or upon condition.  
Upon time, as if the Testator make I. S. his Executor, when he cometh to full age, or from London, or while he dwelleth at L. etc. and such like referrences to time, as to make him executor during ten years, or after ten years etc.  
Upon Condition, as when the Testator appointeth I S. his executor, if he before probate of the testament found sufficient sureties for the performance of his will, or with the addition of any other possible honest condition or conditions, for impossible conditions hinder not the pure making of the executors.  
And as one or more Executors may be made simply or conditionally, or with reference to time: so may Legacies and Devises be made to one or more simply or conditionally, or with reference to or from time.  
And note, that although that in the assignation of Executors, and giving of Legacies, and making of Devises our law respecteth not so much the natural property and signification of words, as the true intent and meaning of the Testator, whose mind is the very life & soul of the testament: yet it is always very requisite that the writers of Testaments do express the same with as apt and significant words as may be for avoiding of all scruples as may otherwise happen by doing the contrary.   

¶ Of making of Testaments.  
¶ It followeth to speak of the very action of making a Testament which consisteth chief in the fact thereof, and putting of witnesses thereunto, which is to be done at one self time.  
The form of publishing a Testament is the very action whereby a Testament is produced, publicly opened, recited, or made known.   

¶ Of the destroying of Testaments.  
¶ The destroying or weakening of a Testament, is when the 
Sect. 638.  person named Executor, can not, or will not be executor, or die before he shall take upon him the executorship, or shall not be capable thereof.   

¶ Of a Codicill.  
THe latter kind or part of succession universal, is termed Codicillarie. 
Sect. 639.   
A Codicill is an imperfect last Will of one testate, or intestate, not appointing any executor, which may be either written or nuncupative.  
And it skilleth not in what part of a testament the executor is named. Howbeit it seemeth good to name him in the very beginning, because the appointing of an executor is the very head and foundation of a Testament, without the which, neither can it stand, nor any devise or legacy be effectual. And again a Codicill is either perfect or imperfect.  
A perfect Codicill, is a Codicill having an obliqne institution of an executor: this Codicill resembleth a Testament, and is in stead of a Testament of one dying intestate.  
An unperfect Codicill is an addition annexed to a Testament, and it is testamentary or subsidiary.  
A Codicill testamentary, is a part of the Testament, and an addition or supplement thereunto, by which some thing is added to a testament, or some thing detracted there from the testator for the explaining or amendment thereof.  
A subsidiary Codicill is inserted into a Testament, to the end that if, that it be not of force by the right of a Testament, it may be effectual as a Codicill, and is rather termed a Codicillarie clause than a Codicill.   

¶ Of a Testament written and nuncupative.  
¶ And every Testament is either written or nuncupative: A written 
Sect. 640.  testament is that which at the very time of the making thereof is put in writing, by which kind of testaments only lands and tenements may be devised, for they cannot pass by a nuncupative in our last will made by word.  
A nuncupative Testament is, when the testator doth by word only without writing declare his will before a sufficient number of credible witnesses.  
Testaments nuncupative for the better proof and continuance thereof, may after the making of the same be put in writing & proved: which notwithstanding that they be so written are still called and are in deed Testaments nuncupative.   

¶ Of succession universal lawful, and administration.  
¶ When he that is dead is intestate, either for that he made no 
Sect. 641.  Testament, or made one, and the executor refuse to prove it, or otherwise, is of no force: Than lawful or inunediate succession taketh place.  
And this succession is called Administration, which is that trust which the Ordinary of the place where the intestate died, committeth to any person touching the intestates goods, cattles, credits & rights, for wheresoever a man dieth intestate, the Ordinary of that place may commit th'administration of his goods to his wife (if the suruine) or to the next of the intestates kin requiring the same, by the Statute 21. Hen. 8. cap. 5.  
And the power and charge of an Administrator is equal in every respect to the power & charge of executors, for they are both to have and sue for his goods and debts withholden from them, & are bound to pay his debts by specialty, according to the value of his goods. 31 E. 3. cap. 11.  
And sometimes further by their delays of false pleas which lie in their own notice, & being true, are peremptory bars to the creditors of their testator or intestate. But hast we to the several forms of Testaments, Codicils, and bills of Administration, beginning with Testaments.   

¶ A very perfect form of a Will.  
IN the name of God, Amen. The xxvi. day of April in the year 
Sect. 642.  of our Lord God, one thousand five hundred and ninety two, I I. H. the unprofitable servant of GOD, weak in body, but strong in mind, do willingly and with a free heart tender and give again into the hands of my Lord GOD and Creator, my spirit, which he of his fatherly goodness gave unto me, when he first fashioned me in my mother's womb, making me a living and a reasonable creature, nothing doubting but that for his infinite mercies, set forth in the precious blood of his dearly beloved son jesus Christ our only Saviour and Redeemer, he will receive my soul into his Glory, and place it in the company of the heavenly Angels and blessed Saints. And as concerning my body even with a good will and free heart I give it over, commending it to the earth where of it came, nothing doubting but according to the Article of my faith, at the great day of the general resurrection when we shall appear before the judgement seat of Christ, I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of GOD, wherewith he is able to subdue all things to himself, not a corruptible, mortal, weak, and vile body, as it is now, but an uncorruptible, immortal, strong, and perfect body in all points like unto the glorious body of my Lord and Saviour jesus Christ. First as touching my Wife with whom I coupled myself in the fear of God, refusing all other women, I linked myself unto her, living with her in the blessed estate of honourable wedlock, by whom also by the blessing of God I have now four Sons and three daughters viz. F. W. L. I. ja. F. and A. And albeit I doubt not but that God after my departure, according to his promise will be unto her a busband, yea a father, a patron, and defender, & will not suffer her to lack if she trust, fear, and serve him diligently, calling upon his holy name: yet for as much as God hath blessed me with worldly substance, and she is mine own flesh, and who so provideth not for his, denieth the faith, and is worse than an Infidel: I therefore give and bequeath unto her for term of her life, if she remain so long unmarried, the occupation of this house, and fermeholdes wherein I now devil at H. with the appurtenances, even as I presently occupy the same. And also the rents and profits yearly arising of my fermeholdes in H. in the tenure of I. T. And likewise the occupation of all other my lands and tenements, set, lying and being in the Parish of O. in the County of Y. doing no waste, with also her thirds out of all my goods (except my leases) observing the conditions, gifts, bequests and legacies hereafter ensuing in full recompense of her thirds or dower of all my lands and tenements. And except and always reserved to me and mine heirs for ever, my Ring of gold which I use to wear and seal withal, and all mine armour and furniture for the wars etc. with all the glass and wainskot in and about my houses at H. All which my will is, shall be annered to the freehold, and remain as heirelomes to my said house and mine heirs for ever.  
And if it shall Fortune my said wife to marry again and take an husband, than my will and full mind is, that my said house at H. and all other my said lands, tenements and fermes at H. and O. aforesaid with their profits and appurtenances, shall remain, descend and come immediately to the use, behoof and occupation of W. L. I and A. my children, during the minority of mine heir male (doing no manner of waste during the said term.) And in full recompense thereof, my said wife to have during the term of her life natural the sum of xl. pounds of lawful money paid yearly out of my foresaid lands and tenements in H. & O. wherewith she sayeth she is now right well pleased and contented: Let this suffice for my wives portion, whom I doubt not but God will take into his protection, and so provide for her in the time of her short pilgrimage, that she shall want no good thing, and I heartily desire her, that she be diligent in training up our said children in the fear & doctrine of the Lord, so shall God be unto her a husband, and to the children a Father. Moreover as touching my children, albeit I am fully persuaded that God according to his promise will be a Father unto them, and if they live in his fear he will not see them lack, yet since the law of God and nature require that I should have a reasonable care of them: Therefore I give unto mine eldest son F. and to the issue male of his body lawfully begotten, all my lands, tenements, & hereditaments with their appurtenances in H. and A. etc. or elsewhere within the Realm of England, purchased of A. B. the portion appointed to my said wife, for and during her life unto her marriage as aforesaid always excepted & forprised. And for default of such issue, to W. my second son, and to the like issue male of his body. And for default of such issue to L. my third son, & to the like issue male of his body. And for default of such issue to the next heirs of me the said I H. for ever. And to the said I. and A. H. I give and bequeath the other two parts of my goods, except my leases, and one hundredth pounds given to W. and L. as hereafter is expressed and appointed. Provided always, that if my said sons W. and L. or either of them do fortune to die before they shall accomplish the full age of xxi. years, than the suruivor of them shall enjoy such his portion, as is limited & appointed to be paid, that is to say, fifty pounds to each of them.  
And if it fortune God to take to his mercy both my said younger sons before the accomplishment of the said xxi. years above recited, that then both their said portions to be equally divided amongst my daughters then living. And if it fortune my wife to be with child at the time of my death, than that child to have as much in every respect as the said I. and A. throughout all the two parts of my said goods, and all other legacies before or hereafter mentioned, appointed and set out. Provided always that if I marry any of my said daughters before my death, than that daughter to have no part of my said two parts of my said goods in any other sort then as to have her part of such child's portions of my goods, as shall fortune to die, as is hereafter expressed. Provided that all my leases shall be taken as no part of my goods, but delivered unto my supervisors safely to be kept to the use of my next heir during the nonage of my said next heir, putting in good sureties in one thousand Marks to my said supervisors and executors, and administrators, or some of them, to answer such portions and legacies as herein is mentioned, declared, appointed and given to the rest of his brethren and sisters out of my said leases, as also truly to observe such limitations & estates as herein are also appointed or set out. And that he shall not alien, bargain, or self my of my leases, but that the same shall after his decease remain to my next heir male, for the better maintenance of this my house at H. and so from heir male to heir male. Nor shall not make any leases above the term of twenty & one years, or one or two lives at the most, reserving the rents now accustomed.  
And if he shall refuse so to do, than two whole parts of all my said whole lands to go to W. my second son, he putting in good sureties as is aforesaid. And in default thereof then to L. likewise as above is said. Item, I will that in case two parts of my goods will not answer every of my daughters the full sum of two hundred pounds for their marriages, than I will that there shall be taken out of mine own lands commonly called T. xx. pounds yearly & out of my lease of H. yearly until such time as every of my said i● daughters have had the just sum of etc. for their said filial portions.  
And if it shall fortune any of my said daughters to die before the age of nineteen. years unmarried, or married or having any issue of her body lawfully begotten: Than I will that her portion s● dying shall remain to the other of her brethren and sisters suruyving. And if it shall fortune, God to take an other of my said daughters in manner and form abovesaid: That then the second daughter's portion so dying shall be likewise equally divided between my younger sons and the daughter then suruyving. Provided always, that if the said W. and L. or any of them do refuse to stand to this mine appointment: That then they to have only their filial portions of my goods, and no part of my leases or other annuities or legacies in this my will given or bequeathed unto them, or any of them, and that then the said legacies or annuities appointed herein to go wholly to my daughters, till such time as every of them have the said CC. l. paid for every their portions. And if my wife bestow any more on my said sons, let it be upon their good behaviour towards her. And yet if it fortune my said wife to die before they or any of them do accomplish the age of xxvi. years, applying themselves obedient and likewise diligently at their learning, I will then after her decease, they and either of them so applying, and being under the age of twenty six years shall have paid forty shillings more yearly out of my moiety of B. until such time as they and either of them do accomplish the full age of forty years, if they so long do line. Item, I will in consideration of my said daughter's portion so appointed out of my said goods: That W. H. my second Son shall have one yearly annuity of fifteen pounds during the minority of mine heir, whereof eight pounds six shillings and eight pence to be taken of the profits arising of my lease in B. and vi. l. xiii. s. iiii. d. out of my moiety of A. And after such time as my said heir shall accomplish his full age, then and from thenceforth the said W. to have the said fifteen pounds paid yearly out of B. during xiii. years than next following, if the said W. so long do live. And if he die before the end of the said xiii. years, and leave issue of his body lawfully begotten, than that issue to have only vi. pounds xiii. shillings iiii. pence, paid yearly during the years to expend of the said xiii. years, if that issue so long do live, to be taken of the profits of B. aforesaid, at the feasts of Pentecost and S. Martin by even portions. And for nonpayment of etc. the said W. & likewise his next issue from time to time to distrain until the same be fully satisfied and paid with the arrearages if any fortune to be unpayed. Item I give and bequeath to L. H. my third Son one yearly annuttie of vi. l. viii. s. and iiii. d. whereof iiii. pound to be paid yearly out of my said lease of B. And likewise four Marks out of A. during the minority of my next heir. And after my said heir doth accomplish his full age, than the whole vi. l. xiii. s. and iiii. d. whereof iiii. l. to be paid during the term of xxx. years than next following out of my said lease of B. if he so long do live, & if he die before th'end of the said term of xxx. years and leave issue of his body lawfully begotten, than that issue to have only five marks yearly during the said years to expend if the said issue so long live, & to be paid at the feasts above said, with like distress to be taken for nonpayment thereof. And if it fortune any of them to die before th'end of the said term of xxx. years and leave no issue of his body living, and the other brother having issue, than that brother surviving, and the said issue so living to have yearly during the said years to expend only six pounds thirteen shillings & four pence, and no more out of B. aforesaid. And if it please God to take to his mercy F. mine eldest son without issue male of his body lawfully begotten, so as thereby my lands do descend unto the said W. his brother, that then this legacy or annuity so bequeathed and given unto the said W. and his issue to cease, and to be paid to L. and his next issue in manner and form as is appointed to the said W. and his issue, and the said legacy or annuity so first given unto the said L. and his issue to be void. And if it shall fortune my said son F. to die and leave issue female of his body lawfully begotten, that then the said W. or L. unto whom my said lands, shall come, or the next heir male of them shall pay unto that issue female of the body of the said F. five hundred marks towards the preferrment of that issue female, within five years next after the said issue female shall accomplish the full age of eighteen years, that is to say, one hundred marks yearly, if she do live so long, or to the issue of her body lawfully begotten, if that issue so long do live. And for nonpayment thereof in manner and form abovesaid, that then that issue female, and the issue of that issue female lawfully begotten, to have & to hold unto her and the heirs of the body of the said issue female lawfully begotten, all my lands within the Lordship of O. purchased of etc. to the said issue female, and the issue thereof lawfully begotten for ever. And for default of such issue to my next heir male, & their heirs for ever. Provided always, that my wife shall have the occupation of the lands and tenements contained in my said leases to her own proper use and education of my Children, so long as shall please her and keeping herself unmarried, and in my name paying after the rate of five pounds less in the whole yearly rent then an other will do for the same, and not otherwise. Provided also, that if it shall fortune God to take all mine heirs, before they shall have issue male lawfully begotten, so as their be no issue male proceeding of them or any of them, so as thereby my lands do descend to the issue female: than that issue female shall within two years next ensuing such certain knowledge had, & upon reasonable demand made, enter into bond to pay or cause truly to be contented & paid to the next issue male of my brother R. H. two. C. marks of lawful money of England. And for default of such issue male of my said brother them to pay unto his issue female 100 marks. And to the next issue females of the abovesaid W L. I. I and A. 500 marks, uz. to every one of them 100 marks, if the said issues do live until they be of the age of nineteen years, & if any of them die before that time, than the survivors to enjoy the portions of them so dying. And for nonpayment of the said seven or six hundred marks as above said: Than the issue male of my said brother, and likewise the issues females of my said brother, And also the issue females of the said W. L. I. I and A. to enter into my moiety of my manor of A. and the same to hold, occupy, and to enjoy to them and their heirs for ever. This seven or six hundred marks, as above is mentioned, I give as a token of continual remembrance of the hearty zeal, love, and affection I hear to the advancement of the issue general of me and my said children, as also the surname and whole blood of me the said I H. and the issue of my said brother. Item I give & bequeath unto my said loving brother R.

And to H. B. an old Angel.  
Provided always, that if my wife do make any challenge or claim to any part of the thirds, either of my lands or goods, or to any part thereof by force of being executrix, other than before is mentioned, and set out of her, as in such like cases many unkind women have done contrary to the good meaning, will, and trust of their husbands in prejudice of their natural children, which my said wife hath faithfully promised to me she will not do, the rather for that I have done nothing herein but by her full consent and agreement in every behalf, that then she to loose the benefit of all such legacies, and all other commodities appointed and given hereby to her, and the same to remain amongst all my children. Now as touching the poor, insomuch, as these worldly goods were given to me, that I should distribute part thereof to their necessity, viz. the poor, lame, blind, and comfortless: And albeit I have been quick in words, to such as were sturdy vagabonds, and idle loiterers well able to get their living by their labour, yet I have not altogether been unmindful of them, but distributed part of such as God sent me, having always thought it better in those causes to work while I lived in this world, then to have them done after my departure by executors. Yet notwithstanding I will, that there be distributed and given amongst the poor within the parishes of A. upon the S. x. pound, which I will have bestowed in manner & form following, that is to say, every Sunday during the space of two. whole years next after my death xiii. pennyworth of bread, which I will have bestowed upon xiii. poor folles. viz the halt, the lame, the blind, the sick, and such other as be most comfortless, and not able to labour. I think it also a deed of charity, and commendable work before God to repair the high ways, that the people may travail safely without danger, I therefore give to the mending of the high ways about S. B. and S. B. at H. twenty shillings to be employed by the discretion of my loving wife, whom I do ordain and make my full Executrix. And if she refuse so to be, than I ordain and make W. L. I and A. my children my executors, and my very loving friends and cousins A. B. etc. my supervisors, charging them and every of them in the name of GOD, as they will answer before the high judge Christ, at the dreadful day of doom, that they and every of them do see this my last will diligently and faithfully fulfilled in every behalf without respect of any person or persons whatsoever. Provided always, that if any person or persons which shall enjoy any benefit by force of this my last will, other than their filial portion, will not be ruled, aswell in their education and marriage, as in all o●●er lawful things concerning this my last Will by my said Executrix: And she being dead, by my said supervisors, or the most part of them: And they being dead, by four of their Uncles, or other their nearest friends & Allies indifferently elected, the same being known to be wise, indifferent, and of good discretion: that then they, and every of them so refusing utterly to loose all such benefit, as they or any of them might have by force of this my last will and Testament, and the same portion or benefit so given, then to remain to such, and as many as will be ordered & ruled, as is before mentioned and declared. Item I bequeath unto every of my said supervisors for their pains taking, one Gold ring of half an ounce, with these words graven seal wise upon the top of every the said rings Esto fidus. And also I will that their reasonable costs & charges be duly answered to every one of them of my whole goods from time to time, with recompense of their travel. Provided always, that if it shall fortune any question, ambiguity, or doubt to arise amongst my children, or any others claiming any benefit by force of this my last Will, that the only exposition, determination, & judgement thereof shall be determined & judged from time to time to the best of my mind, and according unto the literal sense & meaning of this my last will in every behalf, and by the exposition & discretion of my said supervisors, and others, as above is said & expressed, and not otherwise. Provided always, and my full mind and determinate pleasure is, that in case my next heir male, or any the heirs males of his body lawfully begotten, & likewise my sons W. and L. or the issue male of any of them to whom my said lands shall descend and come, do seek any mean or advantage by law or other fraud to convey, cell, alien, or otherwise to make any estate whatsoever, contrary to the true meaning of this my said last Will & Testament, to defeat, or disinherit any of his or their other brethren, & the heirs males of their bodies lawfully begotten, or any other before recited, being their brethren or cousins, be they either males or females, contrary to such limitation, as in this my said will is specified & contained, & do refuse to enter bond with good sureties, in such sort as my said son F. is to do, than I will that all such estates as be limited to such persons so doing to be utterly voided & of none effect, & that the next heirs males to him or them shall enter into, & quietly enjoy all my said lands and tenements whatsoever, in manner and form before specified, and not otherwise: any act or acts done, or to be done by my said next heir or the heirs of his body in any wise to the contrary notwithstanding. And the like order to be in every point & behalf truly observed by my second son, or the heirs of his body. Item, I give to my Lord B. Lord high Treasurer of England, if he be living at the day of my death, and the Queen's Majesty justly entitled to the wardship & marriage of my next heir twenty pounds, in consideration that my wife may after my decease have the wardship of my said heir, and the lands descending to the Queen's Majesty in lease, during his minority, his Lordship taking what shall best like him for her highness. And I do hereby revoke and adnul all former wills. In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name, and set my seal unto this my present last Will and Testament, the day and year first above written, in the presence of A. B. C. D. F. L. & divers others.

In the name of God. Amen. The seventh day of etc. And in the year etc. I. F. R. do make and declare this my last Will and testament in writing, revoking thereby both in deed & in law all other former wills & testaments. First I commend my soul into the hands of Almighty God etc. Touching my lands, tenements, and hereditaments where I have heretofore by my several conveyances for th'advancement of my younger sons P. G. R. and F. the younger assured my manors of H. B. & H. in the county of Y. And all my lands, tenements & hereditaments in H. B. D. H. and B. in the said County of Y. to such several uses and intents, as in and by the said several conveyances are expressed: My will and meaning is, that the same assurances shall stand and be effectual to the benefit of my said children, according to the true intent & meaning set down in the same writings. And I do by this my last will ratify and confirm, & further do will and devise all the said Manors, lands, tenements, and hereditaments to my said sons severally, and for such and the same estates to them particularly and singularly as be mentioned & limited by the said conveyances. And where in the assurance & mortgage concluded between me & T. N. gen t, I have put my faithful servants T. B. & R. C. in trust, my will & request is to them that they do perform & accomplish the same trust, and do make over such estate and interest as they have by the said conveyance to my son G. R. & to his heirs males of his body according to my true intent and meaning, whereunto I have made them pretty: for my full and plain meaning is, that seeing the said G. is my first and eldest son by my late wife M. that therefore he shall be remembered & rewarded as a secondary eldest son, & therefore shall have to him, and to the heirs males of his body, my said Manors of H. and B. and all my lands, tenements, and hereditaments in H. B. and D. Notwithstanding my meacute; aning is, and so I do hereby will and devise, that his two younger brethren R. and F. may have & enjoy the same severally during their lives either of them forty pound of etc. by the year. And that he the said G. do see the same paid according to my said conveyance. And I do further give unto my said son G. all those Statutes, Recognizances, and bonds, that the said M. N. and Sir H. K. have made and knowledged to me, or to any to my use for the performance of those bargains that be passed between us, and I will that the same bonds may besued in the name of my Executors but to the benefit of my said son G. and of his heirs males. And if the said M. N. do pay the said sum of etc. agreed upon, and thereby do redeem his said lands and inheritance in B. Than I do give and devise that my said son G. R. shall have the said sum of etc. to his use and benefit. Also I do give unto my said Son P. R. all my goods and chattels, stock and household stuff whatsoever that shall be and remain at H. aforesaid at the time of my decease. And I do further give unto the said P. the one half and moiety of all the Lead that shall be owing me at the time of my decease. And also the half benefit and forfeiture of all such bonds as any person or persons shall stand bound to me in for the delivery of any lead or lead over. And where I of very fatherly love, and the rather thereby to allure him to his book and study, did assure to my son F. the elder by my first Wife, all that my manor of B. with the appurtenances, and my park and new builded house there, since which time I have been urged by the great unto wardness of my said son (I will not use any more bitter words) to revoke and make void the said assurance, and now have given the said manor of B. to I R. my eldest son, as by the writing thereof appeareth, in which revokation I do protest before God I do not know any manner of defect or scruple whatsoever, yet weighing that Durum telum est necessitas, & that Homo perversus sussitar lights, and lastly, that the desire of such a House & Inheritance joined with any imagined title, will neither regard fatherly admonition, nor brotherly affection: And to the intent also the said F. my son may have some thing to maintain himself, & apply his book withal, if it please God that he may look back & call himself to an ordinary course of life, I do therefore for these respects give and devise to my said son F. the elder, those two rend charges of twenty pound a piece, amounting in the whole to 50. l. ꝑ annum, which I have going forth severally of the lands and inheritance of T. L. Esquire, and W. R. Esq. To have and to hold to him for and during his natural life. And my will is further, that if the said F. my son do give himself to the study of the common laws of this realm, whereunto I know he hath an aptness by nature although through evil behaviour & worse company he hath showed himself unapt heretofore, and do become either Reader in Chancery or in Court being called thereunto orderly, and performing the same with good liking and opinion of the house, & in proof thereof shall have it so signified under the hands and seals of four Readers of Gray's Inn for the time being: Than I will and devise the said two rend charges of xx. l. to the said F. R. and to his heirs for ever. And I do then also and not before devise unto him the Statutes, recognizances & bonds, which I have severally of the said M. L. and M. R. for the payment and several assurance of the said two rend charges or annual payment, and the benefit and forfeiture which shall grow or be by reason of the not paying thereof, or by any other default committed by them or eitherus, of them, their heirs or assigns. Provided always that my said son F. do within one half year next after my death, if he shall not make the same in my life time, release unto my said son I. R. and to his heirs for ever, all his right & title that he hath or may claim to have in the said manor of B. and in or to the said lands, tenements, and hereditaments of the park and new builded house in B. aforesaid, or into any the hamlets or villages adjoining thereunto, with warranty to be therein contained against him and his heirs for ever: And upon condition also, that he the said F. hath not charged or encumbered the said manor and premises in B. aforesaid or any part thereof, with any rend charge or lease whatsoever before the said release, where about three years past, I did in the name and behalf of my daughter K. and for her better preferment, concluded and agreed with M. F. now deceased, for the payment of etc. to my said daughter in the space of etc. as by the writings thereof appear, of which said payment the executrix of the said M. F. hath well and truly paid unto my hands, to the use of my said Daughter the sum of etc. due at the feast of etc. last past, my will is, that if the said sum of etc. be not by me answered to my said Daughter in my life time: That then the same shall presently be paid unto her by my executor after my decease. And my will is further, that if my said Daughter K. cannot lawfully by order of Law recover and obtain the said sum of etc. residue of the entire sum of etc. that then she shall be paid and satisfied of the said sum of etc. or of so much thereof as she cannot recover of the lands or goods of the said master F. or at the hands of his executrix or administrators by my Executor, the same payment to be made within etc. after my death. And moreover I give unto my said Daughter an hundred Marks, of etc. to make up her full and whole portion to the sum of etc. And also I do give unto her the Chein of gold that she commonly weareth, & all her jewels of gold, together with her late mother's Bracelets of gold, notwithstanding my meaningis, that if my executor ●o pay unto her the said sum of etc. or so much thereof as she shall or may not recover or obtain as is aforesaid, that then my said Daughter, do assign or set over the bonds and assurance made unto her by the said Master F. unto the said executor or his assigns, that to the end that he may then take the advantage & benefit thereof: for like as mine intentis, that my said daughter should be justly satisfied of the said five hundred pound, either by the heirs and Executrix of the said F. or else in default thereof by mine own Executor, even so my meaning is, not that my said daughter be double paid the said sum, I do give unto my Daughter T. over and beside the sum of etc. which to her is assured by myself and my son I. R. by conveyance in my life time the sum of etc. when she cometh to the age of etc. or be married, together with her jewels of Gold, and little Chein of gold which was her Mothers. And where I have concluded with R. T. Esquire, for a Marriage (by the grace of God) to be had between his son R. T. and my daughter E. my Will is, that if the said marriage do not take effect, that then my said daughter E. shall take the benefit of all such Bonds and Recognizances as the said Master T. hath made or knowledged to me: And that my Executor do not only suffer his name to be used for recovery thereof to the use of my said Daughter, but that he also and his assigns do to his and their uttermost endeavour aid and assist my said Daughter for the obtaining of the benefit and forfeiture of the said Bonds and Recognizances to her own use. Provided always, that my said daughter E. nor any for her, or in her name, do challenge or claim any title or interest, in, or to the sum of four hundred pound which I did convey unto her, to be paid of certain rend charges, which I appointed for that purpose before the said conclusion of Marriage: for my meaning is, that seeing I have well and truly paid unto the said T. the sum of etc. in consideration of the said Marriage to be had that the benefit that shall come to my said daughter by the said marriage, or by the bonds or covenants thereupon concluded shall serve her for her portion and advancement, & that she shall not take or challenge any other sum or portion of my goods or gift whatsoever, where I together with my eldest son I. R. have provided that my four youngest Daughters, to wit, A. C. I and B. be every one of them paid the sum of etc. for their advancement in marriage, at such days and times, as by the writings thereof are expressed: my meaning is, and so I do will and bequeath, that my said Daughters be justly and duly satisfied their said portions, in such manner and form, as by the said writings is appointed. And my will is further, that my said youngest Daughters shall every of them be brought up at my houses at W. or B. at the costs of my eldest son, if they be disposed to remain there until such time as they be severally well and truly paid and answered their said portions. I will that within one half year next after my death there be provided by my Executor one Chein of gold of the value of etc. which Chein I do give to my Daughter B. And I do heartily require and charge her, that she 'cause the same after her decease to be bestowed upon her son and mine N. B. I do will and devise the yearly rend charge of etc. which I have to me & mine heirs assured forth of the lands and Inheritance of A. E. gentleman, and the yearly sum of etc. to be taken forth of the manor of E. in the whole per annum twenty pound, to be employed for ever for the maintenance of the new exected Grammar School at S. the finding of two Scholarships in Saint john's in Cambridge, and the relief of the poor, hurt, and maimed Soldiers, which shall be sent to the wars out of the Towneships of S. B. and E. in the County of D. that is, eight pound by the year towards the same School, other eight pound per annum for the said Scholarships, and four pound yearly for the relief and succour of the said Soldiers. And now upon great good hope and fatherly affiance that I have, and trust to found in my eldest son I. R. towards his Brethrens and Sisters, I do make and ordain him my sole and only executor of this my last Will and Testament, and I say unto him and by him to call the residue of my children, as Solomon said to his son, Fili mi time Deum & Regem, and in any wise beware that you live not above your living, and especially in the beginning, for that will bring you to want and necessity, both in the mids and the ending.

An inventary.  
AN Inventory is a description or repertory orderly made of 
Sect. 654.  all dead men's goods and chattels prized by four credible men, or more, which every Executor and Administrator aught to exhibit to the Ordinary, at such time as he shall appoint the same. And Inuentaries aught to be made so soon as conveniently may be after the party's death, lest the goods be imbesiled, and for the most part they are made thus:  
The inventary of the goods and cattles of A. B. of D. in the County of C. yeoman deceased, made and proved by C. D. E. F. G. H. and I K. the second day of May, in the xxxvi. year of the reign of our Sovereign Queen Elizabeth etc. 1594.  

Inprimis, in ready Money. x.l.  
His Apparel. xl. s.  
Item in his bed Chamber two standing beds with testors. iiii. l.  
Item four Featherbeds, and one down bed. x. l.  
Item fowerteene Blankets xxx. s.  
Item eight pair of Sheets. xl. s.  
Item six Coverlets, and two coverings. seven. l.   
In like manner every thing, as woollen, linen, wine, oil, beer, ale, corn, and grain, hay, wool, flax, wood, coals, iron, lead, household stuff of all sorts: as tables, hangings, chairs, cushions, chests, pots, pans, pewter vessel, brewing vessels, implements of husbandry, leases, debts due to the dead man, or by him due to any other, corn upon the ground, horses, oxen, kine, sheep, swine, pullen etc. And for the household stuff either to set down what is in every several room: as every parlour, chamber, study, shop, buttery, seller, panterie, hall, deirie, kitchen, brewhouse, backhouse, laundry, barn, s●able, oxehouse, cowhouse, doovehouse, staughterhouse, milkhouse, and every other house. Or else (which seemeth better) to sort all things of one kind together: as all brass together, all pewer, together, all bedding together etc. prising every thing severally by itself. And then to subscribe the same inventary with the names of the same praisers, in the presence of sufficient witnesses. And this aught to be done with great diligence, care, and sincerity, that the true value of eurry thing may be known, to the end that the ●a● man's children or kinsfolks, his legatories and creditors may have their own, without such fraudulent concealing, as in like cases is daily committed.
