much_o the_o faith_n to_o be_v give_v to_o man_n be_v now_o lessen_v but_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o observe_v that_o other_o instrument_n take_v by_o notar_n continue_v in_o the_o former_a condition_n and_o need_v no_o subscrive_a witness_n though_o for_o cautiousness_n all_o witness_n in_o any_o instrument_n do_v now_o subscrive_v nota_fw-la that_o the_o civil_a law_n call_v all_o obligation_n instrument_n but_o we_o call_v only_a act_n of_o notar_n instrument_n the_o four_o point_n in_o this_o act_n be_v that_o all_o execution_n of_o messenger_n upon_o inhibition_n interdiction_n horning_n or_o arrestment_n shall_v be_v null_a if_o they_o be_v not_o subscrive_v by_o witness_n and_o these_o be_v express_v because_o they_o be_v execution_n of_o great_a importance_n and_o yet_o it_o seem_v that_o execution_n of_o comprising_n and_o adjudication_n be_v of_o as_o great_a importance_n as_o any_o of_o these_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o require_v by_o this_o act_n that_o execution_n of_o comprising_n and_o adjudication_n shall_v have_v subscrive_v witness_n and_o a_o reduction_n be_v raise_v of_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o comprise_v because_o there_o be_v but_o two_o witness_n express_v in_o the_o execution_n one_o whereof_o do_v express_o deny_v that_o ever_o he_o be_v witness_n in_o such_o a_o execution_n and_o so_o the_o same_o become_v null_a as_o want_v two_o witness_n to_o this_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o deposition_n of_o a_o witness_n deny_v that_o he_o be_v present_a upon_o the_o land_n the_o time_n of_o the_o execution_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o destroy_v a_o heritable_a right_n of_o so_o great_a importance_n as_o this_o comprise_v be_v for_o this_o deposition_n after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n can_v amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o a_o non_fw-la memini_fw-la and_o the_o reason_n whereupon_o this_o statute_n be_v found_v appear_v by_o the_o narrative_a to_o be_v because_o the_o witness_n may_v by_o their_o forgetfulness_n easy_o disow_v their_o be_v witness_n and_o many_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o forget_v such_o circumstance_n and_o to_o deny_v that_o ever_o they_o have_v be_v in_o such_o a_o place_n or_o house_n until_o the_o same_o be_v bring_v back_o to_o their_o memory_n by_o other_o very_a remarkable_a circumstance_n which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v here_o because_o the_o messenger_n and_o the_o other_o witness_n be_v both_o dead_a 2._o the_o deposition_n of_o one_o witness_v deny_v his_o be_v present_a shall_v not_o infer_v a_o nullity_n of_o the_o compriss_v since_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o whole_a execution_n will_v not_o infer_v the_o same_o after_o so_o long_a a_o time_n as_o have_v be_v frequent_o decide_v 3._o if_o this_o be_v allow_v it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o every_o single_a witness_n in_o a_o execution_n of_o a_o comprise_v or_o adjudication_n which_o be_v now_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o most_o of_o our_o right_n to_o destroy_v and_o overturn_v the_o same_o for_o money_n or_o prejudice_n 4._o no_o singular_a successor_n buy_v a_o comprise_v can_v be_v secure_v and_o if_o these_o execution_n have_v be_v think_v of_o such_o importance_n this_o statute_n have_v require_v

temporary_a right_n 5._o no_o man_n can_v with_o a_o sufficient_a causa_fw-la scientiae_fw-la depone_n that_o he_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o land_n of_o such_o a_o barony_n except_o

act_n be_v that_o no_o execution_n whatsoever_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o interrupt_v the_o prescription_n of_o heritable_a right_n unless_o the_o same_o have_v subscrive_v witness_n and_o by_o this_o we_o see_v what_o care_n our_o law_n have_v take_v to_o preserve_v prescription_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o be_v appoint_v by_o the_o 10_o act_n 2_o par._n ch._n 2._o that_o all_o citation_n that_o shall_v be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o interruption_n shall_v be_v renew_v every_o seven_o year_n and_o because_o of_o this_o clause_n in_o the_o act_n it_o be_v advisable_v that_o all_o execution_n in_o adjudication_n comprising_n molestation_n and_o general_o in_o all_o action_n relate_v to_o real_a right_n have_v subscrive_a witness_n though_o these_o be_v not_o express_v because_o they_o may_v be_v make_v use_n of_o as_o interruption_n in_o other_o case_n vid._n observe_v on_o the_o say_v act._n this_o act_n concern_v the_o test_n be_v so_o exact_o and_o universal_o

that_o two_o meeting_n of_o the_o session_n do_v encourage_v our_o countryman_n too_o much_o to_o litigiousness_n who_o be_v natural_o too_o much_o addict_v thereto_o whereas_o one_o session_n may_v

2._o that_o these_o two_o session_n occasion_v great_a expense_n since_o people_n behove_v to_o come_v twice_o a_o year_n from_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o nation_n most_o unnecessar_o for_o the_o summer_n session_n be_v spend_v in_o preparation_n or_o hurry_v as_o say_v be_v 3._o the_o summer_n be_v the_o only_a time_n wherein_o scots-man_n can_v have_v any_o pleasure_n or_o can_v make_v

country_n the_o argument_n for_o continue_v the_o summer_n session_n as_o former_o be_v 1._o the_o session_n not_o sit_v for_o seven_o month_n his_o majesty_n authority_n during_o all_o that_o time_n
