But it behooueth the Plaintiffe to take good heede how he sueth forth the said VVrit of Eligit For if it be once entered you shall neuer haue any other Execution Also after a iudgment the Plaintiffe may haue an Execution of Fieri facias de bonis catallis and thereby leauey his whole summe that is giuen with the Costs or some part thereof according to the value of the goods of the Defendants which he can finde And if at the first he bee not satisfied of his whole summe hee may sue forth another Fieri fac and so one after another till he bee fully satisfied of his whole Debt Your Processe being in a VVrit of Rescous and Rauishment of a Ward as in Trespasse you shall hold like proceedings of Attach and Distresse and for want of Distresse three Capias and an Exigent The like in a Quare eiecit infra terminū Eiectione firme and this was giuen by a late statute And the like by the same Statute in a Writ of Annuitie and Couenant vppon an Indenture But in a Writ of Entry the like proceeding is not for the Processe is Grand Cape and Petit Cape The Grand Cape lieth when any of those VVrits are deliuered to the Sheriff to summō the Lands and if at the returne of the same the Defendant appeareth not but maketh default then the Prothonotaries Clerke is to giue a day to the tenant to come in or else a Grand Cape shal be awarded of the Land whereuppon he shall be in the courtesie of the Court whether they will grant him a Supersedeas for the discharge of the same or no. Otherwise hee is to wage his Law and depose that hee was not lawfully summoned which if he doe and it bee afterwards proued that hee was lawfully summoned then he is in danger of periury If the Tenant or Defendant doe not appeare vpon the Grand Cape then a Petit Cape is to goe forth and a day likewise to bee farther giuen and vppon default of appearance then the Lands in question are recouered and therevppon the Cape is directed to the Sheriffe to seize the Lands into the Kings hands vntill farther Proces c. Note that the Demandant is to take great care that there bee no Essoyne cast by the Tenants Attourney in this case for him the said Tenant to appeare For if hee haue before that time cast his Essyone then may he vpon day giuen call the Demandant non-suite and cause him to begin againe Therefore the Demandants Attourney in this case must especially inuigilate the Office of Essoynes and in Reall actions to get his VVrit fylled and to enter a Recipitur as in a VVrit of Dower Warrentia charta De droyte Surdisseisin haue the like proceeding because their Processe is also alike If you haue Iudgment in any action and suffer the Iudgment to continue without doing of any thing therein by the space of a yeare and a day you shall then be forced by reason of such delay before you may take out any execution thereuppon to sue out of the Court where your said iudgment is Recorded a writ of Scire facias and after the Returne thereof you are to giue a day to the Defendant to come into the Court and to shew cause why the Iudgment should not be awarded against him vpon his default wherevppon if good cause be not shewed the Iudgment is to bee allowed and execution may be taken forth In case where the Plaintiffe or Defendant happen to dye after Iudgment and before execution Then are the Executors or Administrators of the Plaintiffe to sue out a VVrit of Scire facias against the Defendant his Executors or Administrators which being returned then the Execution of Fieri facias at the first and in case where the Defendant is dead must bee awarded onely of the goods of the Testator or Defendant defunct and not of the goods of the Executor or Administrator This execution of Fieri facias being deliuered to the Sheriffe to bee executed if the Sheriffe shall finde that the Executor or Administrator did diuaste the goods of the Testator or Defendant defunct and shall thereupon returne a Divastauit Then shall a VVrit of Fieri facias be awarded de proprijs bonis Testatoris or Administratoris Or otherwise Execution may bee taken forth against the body of the Executor or Administrator at the choyce of him that sueth it out How to sue a matter of Errour IF you would sue a matter of Errour you must either make a perfect true Copy of the Originall or of the Exigent in that cause and carry it to the Cursitor of the Shiere where the Action lyeth thereby to make yovr VVrit of Errour VVhen you haue your Writ of Errour if it be before Iudgment you may deliuer it to the Clerke of the Treasurie wherevppon the Attourney for the Plaintiffe is to deliuer vnto you the number of the Roles where euery thing is entered And if it bee after Iudgment Then before you know the number of the Roles you must shew cause of Errour to the Court or else your Writ will not be allowed And in case that when the Writ bee alowed the Plaintiffes Attourney must deliuer the number of the Roles o the Clerke of the Treasury who will deliuer the VVrit ouer with the Record And then if the Defendants Attourney doe not get his Record to bee certified the same Terme the Plaintiffes Attourney may procure a day to bee giuen in

But if the Knowledge be made in open Court then you must haue the Precipe in Parchment which must bee annexed to the Writ of Couenant and you must deliuer it vnto the Sergeant at Barre to draw for which his Fee shall bee set downe hereafter and this you may do before you pay your Fine by which Knowledging you saue your Clyent a good part of his charge And if it bee Knowledged before my Lord chiefe Iustice of the Common Pleas in his Chamber or in any other place sauing in the Court then one of his Clerkes will make your Precipe Concord and write them in Parchment wherevnto he will get my Lords hand And then you are to consute the Writ of Couenant to the Concord and so passe it through my Lord of Leicesters Office the Custosb reuium the Kings Siluer and the Chirographer as is before set downe Note also as I gaue you to vnderstand before in part that if the Lands bee holden in Capite of the King then you must sue forth your License of Alienation for your establing in that behalfe For if you enter into the Lands without License the King will haue a Writ of Intrufion against you for the same aud so receiue al the maine profits thereof likewise vntil you haue sued forth your pardon heerein which will bee a matter of much charge c. How your Lieence of Alienation must be sued out FIrst you must get him who is proper Clerke for the Licences of Alienation to make your Dockquet or as it is corruptly writ ten your Dogget in paper which you are to carrie to the Office called my Lord of Leicesters Office or Office for Alienations At this Office you must compound for the value of the Land either by Commission or Affedauet and you must pay the third part of the value sessed for a Fine and that presently after the Master of the Chancery or Doctor who attendeth for that purpose hath set his hand to the Dockquet the fee for which hand expect anon This being done your Writ is to bee entred there in the same Office And then two Clerkes of the Office to whom it doth appertaine of property wil set their hands to the Dockquet and will afterwards make your Licence of Alienatiou and get it sealed for you the seuerall Fees of which seuerall passages I reserue for their proper Station c. Note that the Post-fine of euery Fine knowledged is as much as you pay in the Chancery halfe as much more and if it be to be leuied by the Sheriffe of the Shire where the Land lyeth which did passe by the Fine after Proclamations which is the yeere after the fine is leauied The Causes whereupon wager of Law lyeth IF any man bee sued vpon a simple Contract as Vpon Booke Vpon Emisset or Emisit Vpon Mutuatis or Mutauit Vpon Concessit soluere or Assumpsit oluere Vpon an Insimul Computauerunt Vpon a Detinet Vpon a Trouer Vpon Debt being not by Obligation of Bill signed and sealed In euery of these the Defendant may wage his Law that is Hee may dispose that hee oweth the Plaintiffe nothing and so auoyd his suite Wager of Law is to be done in this wise viz. that he plead Nil debit perlegem And so hee is to get day ouer vntill the next Terme to do his Law Or else he may do his Law presently at his owne election But if he deferre the doing of his Law vntill an other Terme He the Defendant must haue a care to come in at his day and do his Law Or if it so happen that hee cannot come in at the time and place appoynted His Attourney must remember the time when his Clyent was to do his Law and vpon the same day to cast an Essoyne for him or else the Plaintiffe will haue Iudgment against him by default And if the Defendants Attourney do so cast the Essoyne then the Plaintiffes Attourney is to adiourne it which if hee neglect to do the Desendants Attourney may call the Plaintiffe Nonsuit But if the Plaintiffe doth Adtourne it then the Defendant is to doe his Law peremptorilie at the day giuen him or else Iudgment shal be awarded against him by his owne default And in case where the Attourney for the Defendant doth not cast his Essoyne at the day for the benefite of his Clyent and his Clyent is not readie to doe his Law Then the Attourney for the Plaintiffe may enter a Ne recipiatur with the Clerke of the Essoynes and giue him day in Court to doe his Law very speedilie viz. within three or foure dayes after and vpon the Defendants default then the Plaintiffes Attourney may enter a Iudgement against the Defendant Then is the Plaintiffes Attourney to make a Bill of his Clyents charges get it rated and allowed by the Prothonotarie which done he may make forth Execution against the Defendant in what sort he shall thinke it best When the Defendant commeth in to doe his Law He is to bring in some of his neighbours or acquaintance to depose with him in manner following viz.
