Deede DEode is a proofe and testimonie of the agréement of the partye whose déede it is to the thing contayned in the déede as a déed of feoffement is a proofe of the liuery of seysin for y e land passeth by the liuery of seysin but when y ● déede and the liuery are ioyned together that is a proofe of the liuery and that the feoffour is content that the feoffée shal haue the land And note that al déedes are either indēted wherof there bée two thrée or more as the case requireth of which y e feoffour grauntor or lessour hath one the feofrée grātee or lessee an other and peraduenture some other body also another c. or els they are poll deedes or single and but one which the feoffée grauntée or lessée hath c.

fée simple which discendeth to hys heire who is also heire in taile or heire to y e woman Nowe if the heire after the discease of his auncestour bring a writ of formedon or sur Cui in vita for the

it should come in y ● sence as wée there take it For accordinge to the proper significatiō mulier is a defiled woman like as it is vsed by vlpianus in a certen place after this sort if I thought that I had bought a virgin when it was a defiled woman the bargayne was not good Hereby you may sée y t multer is a woman that hath had y e company of a man But to leaue the right signification Mulier is taken in our law for one that is lawfully begotten and borne and is alwayes vsed in comparison with a bastarde onely to shewe a difference betwene thē as thus for example A man hath a sonne by a woman before mariage that issue is called a bastard and vnlawful And after they entermary and haue an other sonne this second sonne is called mulier that is to say lawfull and shalbée heire to hys father but that other cannot bée heire to any manne because it is not knowen nor certen in the iudgement of the lawe who was hys father and for that cause is sayd to bée no mannes sonne or y e sonne of the people and so wythout father according to this old verse To whom the people father is to him is father none and all To whom the people father is wel fatherlesse wée may him cal And alwaies you shal find this addition to thē bastard eldest mulier yongest when they bée compared together Murder MUrder is a wilful killinge of a man vppon malice forethought and seemeth to comeof the Saxon woord Mordren which so signifieth And Mordridus is the murderer euen vntil this day amonge them in Sexonie from whence wée haue most of our words as hath byn often said Negatiua preignans NEgatiua preignans is when an action or information or such like is brought against one and the defendant pleadeth in barre of the actyon or otherwyse a negatiue plea whych is not soe specyall an answere to the actyon but that it includeth also an affirmatiue As for example if hée in reuersion enter vppon tenant for life supposinge that hée hath aliened in fee which is a forfaiture of hys estate and the tenaunt for life saith that hée hath not aliened in fée this is a negatyue wherein is included an affirmatiue for although it bée true that he haue not aliened in fée yet it may bée that hée hath made an estate in tayle whych is also a forfayture and then the entry of hym in the reuersion is lawefull c. Also in a Quare impedit the Quéene makes tytle to present to a Prebende for that the Temporaltyes of the Bishoprick were in her hāds by the death of W. late Bishop c. The defendant saith that it was not voyd being the temporalties in the Quéens handes by the death of W. this is a negatiue preignans for it may bée in the Quéenes hāds otherwyse then by the death of W. and it suffiseth the Quéene if it bée in her handes by any meanes c.
