occasion_v a_o particular_a application_n of_o the_o company_n to_o that_o person_n for_o his_o opinion_n he_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v to_o but_o at_o length_n be_v warm_v with_o question_n and_o

after_o which_o he_o be_v much_o press_v to_o digest_v his_o thought_n and_o publish_v they_o in_o print_n or_o at_o least_o communicate_v they_o in_o write_v to_o some_o particular_a member_n of_o

livery_n and_o seisin_n and_o for_o his_o part_n he_o say_v if_o it_o be_v res_fw-la integra_fw-la and_o undermine_v he_o shall_v give_v his_o opinion_n that_o a_o lease_n and_o release_n as_o now_o in_o common_a use_n be_v not_o a_o legal_a conveyance_n of_o inheritance_n but_o a_o mere_a trick_n and_o gimcrack_n of_o the_o law_n that_o the_o virtue_n of_o office_n post_fw-la mortem_fw-la for_o discovery_n of_o forgery_n and_o clear_v of_o pedigree_n be_v not_o yet_o altogether_o wear_v out_o but_o very_o near_o it_o and_o whereas_o the_o last_o age_n have_v have_v only_o that_o aid_n near_o

honesty_n of_o person_n and_o that_o only_o as_o to_o their_o own_o act_n the_o trade_n for_o land_n will_v sink_v and_o in_o the_o room_n fraud_n and_o forgery_n advance_v 3._o that_o the_o parliament_n have_v ever_o be_v hammer_v at_o a_o reform_v by_o way_n of_o register_n and_o sometime_o fancy_v they_o have_v it_o for_o when_o the_o servility_n of_o tenor_n in_o capite_fw-la make_v people_n study_v clandestine_v settlement_n that_o their_o heir_n may_v be_v free_a from_o wardship_n and_o marriage_n the_o lawyer_n find_v out_o the_o trick_n of_o uses_n which_o then_o be_v the_o

use_v arise_v by_o bargain_n and_o sale_n for_o money_n or_o covenant_n to_o be_v seize_v for_o consideration_n of_o blood_n but_o most_o the_o former_a the_o crown_n labour_v against_o uses_n as_o destructive_a to_o the_o prerogative_n of_o tenure_n in_o capite_fw-la wherefore_o in_o 27._o henry_n 8._o cap._n 10._o the_o statute_n be_v make_v to_o turn_v use_v into_o possession_n which_o be_v intend_v to_o take_v use_v clean_o away_o but_o the_o contrary_n happen_v and_o it_o be_v soon_o find_v that_o most_o purchase_n will_v pass_v by_o bargain_n and_o sale_n a_o chamber_n conveyance_n like_o our_o lease_n and_o release_n which_o our_o parliament_n thought_n will_v be_v a_o practice_n most_o mischievous_a as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o 27_o hen._n 8._o cap._n 16._o it_o be_v enact_v that_o bargain_n and_o sales_n shall_v be_v void_a unless_o enrol_v within_o six_o month_n here_o they_o think_v they_o have_v catch_v a_o register_n but_o the_o more_o modern_a trick_n of_o
