But the Defendant should have pleaded tender of the 100 l. and Uncore prist But on Bond on Award to pay on demand being Collateral it s lost sans demand therefore no Uncore prist need be But where the Condition of an Obligation is to pay on demand that is a distinct Deed from the Bond and there is no Title to the Forfeiture sans demand but the Debt of 50 l. here is not lost per not demanding 3 Keb. 577.

When a lawful Deed is razed by which it becomes void the Obligor may plead Non est factum and give the Matter in Evidence for at the time of the Plea pleaded it is not his Deed. 2. When any Deed is altered in a Point material by the Plaintiff himself or by any Stranger without the privity of the Obligee be it by addition razing interlineation or tractation of a Pen through the midst of any Material word by this the Deed becomes void As if one be bound in 10 l. and after Sealing 10 l. is added to make it 20 l. it s void So if the Obligee himself alter the Deed by any of the said ways though it

Ingoldsby and Steward For the Matter and Substance of the Condition What Conditions are good and what not A Condition to do any lawful or possible thing is good as to make a Release perform Covenants not to play at Cards and Dice not to be Surety c. But when the matter or thing to be done by the Condition is unlawful or impossible or the Condition it self is repugnant insensible or uncertain the Condition is void and in some Cases the Obligation also Conditions against Law are void Against the Law of God of Nature to do a thing that is malum in â—se as to kill a Man or do any other Felony c. in such Cases the Condition and Obligation are both void Co. Lit. 206. Conditions against Common Law Statute Law Note This difference between a Bond made void by Common Law and a Bond made void by Statute Law If a Bond be made void by Statute Law it s void in the whole as upon the Statute 23 H. 6. If a Sheriff take a Bond for a thing against that Law and also for a due Debt the whole Bond is void for the Letter of the Statute is so 2 Rolls Rep. 116. But the Common Law doth divide and having made void that that is against Law le ts the rest stand Carters Rep. fol. 230. in Pearson and Humes Case A Bond to perform Covenants one is void and the other good the Bond is good for those that are agreeable to Law as in Sir Daniel Nortons Case Hob. p. 14. Cro. Eliz. p. 529. 2 Anderson 116. Lee and Coleshill 3 Rep. 82 83. Lee and Coleshill cited in Twines Case If the Condition be to do a thing contrary to Law the Obligation is void 2 H. 4.9 Co. Lit. 206. b. But here is another Diversity A Condition to a do a thing against the Law of God of Nature a malum in se or against Law and Justice in such Cases the Obligation and Condition are both void as for unlawful Maintenance for a Sheriff not to execute Process and the like But when the thing to be done or not to be done by the Condition is not malum in se but against some Ground of the Law as that a Man shall make a Feoffment to his Wife or is but malum prohibitum only as that a Man shall erect a College contrary to the Statute of 31 Eliz. or a Man is bound to alien certain Lands to a Religious House or repugnant to the Estate as Feoffee of Land shall not alien or take the Profits or that Tenant in Tail shall not suffer a Recovery c. In these Cases the Conditions are only void and the Obligations remain single and yet Equity will relieve against them yet if a Feoffment be made of Land on Condition to kill J. S. the Condition is void but the Feoffment is good for the state of the Land is setled and executed in the Feoffee and cannot be taken back but by the performance of the Condition which is void If a Man make a Feoffment in Fee on Condition that he shall not alien this Condition is repugnant and against Law and the state of the Feoffee absolute but if the Feoffee be bound in a Bond that the Feoffee or his Heirs shall not alien or take the profits this is good for he may notwithstanding alien or take the profits if he will forfeit his Bond Co. Lit. fol. 206. a. b. A Man is bound to do a thing unlawful at present which in time may be made lawful as a Feoffment of a Strangers Lands or of the Lands of an Alien c. in these Cases he is bound to do it and at his peril he must obtain Power to do them Lit. Rep. 86. Condition was That if the Defendant shall procure one J. S. to make reasonable Recompence to the Plaintiff for certain Beasts which he wrongfully took from the Plaintiff that then c. the Defendant saith de facto J. S. had stollen the Beasts and was indicted and so the Condition being against Law the Obligation was void Per Cur. where the Condition shall be said against Law and therefore the Obligation void the same ought to be intended where the Condition is expresly against the Law in express words and not for Matter out of the Condition as it is here Judgment pro quer 1 Leon.

In Debt on this Bond the Defendant pleads non requisivit which was found against him And in Arrest of Judgment it was moved that this Bond was made on Simoniacal Contract and so void But the Court gave Judgment for the Plaintiff 1. Because there was no Averment of the Simony 2. That it was not material as to the Bond because that Statute doth not make the Bond or Contract void but only the Presentation The sense of the Court in that Case was that in truth if a Man be preparing a Son for the Clergy and have a Living in his disposal which falls void before his Son be ready he may lawfully take of such person as he shall present a Bond to resign when his Son is become capable of such Living But if a Patron take a Bond absolutely to resign upon Request without any such cause as the Presentment of a Son or to avoid Pluralities or Non-Residence or such reasonable cause but only to a corrupt end to exact Mony by this Bond from the Incumbent or attempt it tho the Bond may be good against the Obligor yet it makes the Church become void and gives the Presentation to the King It seems in this Case if Simony had been averred it would have been left to a Jury to have adjudged what the intention of the corrupt Patron was Crook Trin. 8 Jac. 248 274.

If the Defendant had averred that the Obligation had been made with intent to exact Mony make a Lease c. which in it self had been Simony then it might have been a Question whether this Bond had been good or not but upon this Demurrer it doth not appear there was any Simoniacal Contract and such Bonds might be for good and lawful ends ut supra Crook Car. 180.
