i_o see_v not_o how_o to_o doubt_v since_o any_o one_o executor_n may_v give_v away_o any_o good_n of_o the_o testator_n or_o release_v any_o debt_n due_a to_o he_o therefore_o much_o more_o assent_n which_o be_v no_o more_o or_o great_a work_n in_o effect_n then_o a_o atturnment_n of_o one_o lessee_n upon_o a_o grant_n of_o a_o reversion_n and_o if_o there_o want_v to_o pay_v debt_n he_o only_o who_o assent_v shall_v answer_v for_o it_o of_o his_o own_o good_n and_o not_o his_o companion_n c._n but_o if_o this_o executor_n be_v either_o under_o the_o age_n of_o 17_o year_n or_o under_o

she_o be_v within_o age_n yet_o he_o be_v of_o full_a age_n his_o assent_n will_v stand_v good_a but_o if_o he_o or_o another_o executor_n in_o his_o own_o right_n be_v above_o 17_o year_n of_o age_n and_o under_o 21_o i_o doubt_v whether_o now_o his_o assent_n will_v be_v sufficient_a at_o least_o except_o the_o case_n be_v put_v that_o there_o be_v asset_n sufficient_a which_o perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v material_a though_o not_o in_o the_o other_o see_v more_o hereof_o after_o in_o the_o title_n of_o woman_n covert_a and_o infant_n executor_n as_o to_o the_o four_o point_n first_o there_o may_v be_v a_o assent_n &_o election_n employ_v as_o well_o as_o express_v for_o if_o in_o the_o devise_n or_o bequest_n the_o legatee_n be_v appoint_v to_o do_v some_o act_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o legacy_n he_o and_o the_o excecutor_n do_v accept_v the_o performance_n thereof_o this_o amount_v to_o a_o assent_n so_o if_o the_o devise_n be_v to_o a_o executor_n for_o the_o education_n of_o
