the_o reply_n to_o some_o reflection_n on_o mr._n asgill_n essay_n on_o a_o registry_n for_o title_n of_o land_n by_o way_n of_o a_o letter_n to_o the_o author_n of_o the_o reflection_n london_n print_v for_o john_n astwood_n at_o his_o printing-house_n behind_o st._n christopher_n church_n in_o thread-needle-street_n the_o backside_n of_o the_o royal_a exchange_n 1699._o the_o reply_n to_o some_o reflection_n etc._n etc._n sir_n if_o i_o may_v be_v entrust_v to_o make_v a_o abstract_n of_o my_o own_o essay_n it_o be_v to_o assert_v and_o prove_v 1._o that_o freehold_n land_n in_o england_n may_v be_v encumber_a in_o divers_a manner_n and_o in_o divers_a place_n which_o render_v the_o title_n thereunto_o incertain_a and_o therefore_o be_v a_o deficiency_n in_o the_o law_n 2._o that_o the_o conveyance_n by_o lease_n and_o release_n late_o invent_v upon_o the_o statute_n of_o uses_n be_v clandestine_v conveyance_n and_o now_o become_v the_o common_a conveyance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v occasion_n a_o necessity_n of_o a_o registry_n to_o prevent_v they_o and_o page_n 11._o i_o have_v challenge_v the_o inn_n of_o court_n to_o show_v that_o either_o the_o common_a law_n or_o parliament_n of_o england_n ever_o direct_v any_o encumbrance_n to_o affect_v land_n but_o by_o solemn_a livery_n and_o seisin_n or_o matter_n of_o record_n and_o that_o therefore_o these_o clandestine_v conveyance_n be_v creep_v in_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a intent_n and_o mean_v of_o parliament_n and_o all_o the_o avow_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o this_o i_o know_v it_o be_v that_o give_v you_o confidence_n to_o single_a yourself_o out_o as_o the_o goliath_n of_o the_o law_n to_o answer_v i_o in_o which_o bully_n like_o you_o lug_v out_o with_o a_o threat_n in_o your_o mouth_n promise_v 1._o to_o show_v that_o my_o argument_n be_v advance_v on_o supposition_n and_o opinion_n in_o the_o law_n which_o be_v in_o themselves_o either_o false_a or_o mistake_v or_o at_o least_o very_a break_a and_o imperfect_a 2._o however_o they_o may_v be_v just_a in_o themselves_o they_o conclude_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n viz._n the_o necessity_n of_o a_o registry_n and_o to_o charge_v i_o with_o falsehood_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o my_o challenge_n you_o say_v page_z 22._o that_o land_n be_v otherwise_o to_o be_v encumber_a then_o by_o livery_n and_o seisin_n or_o matter_n on_o record_n and_o for_o this_o you_o instance_n 1._o by_o a_o lease_n for_o year_n 2._o a_o devise_n by_o will._n 3._o a_o grant_n of_o a_o rend_a charge_n 4._o a_o release_n to_o a_o disseizor_n 5._o a_o surrender_n for_o reply_v to_o which_o in_o affirmance_n of_o my_o essay_n i_o say_v 1._o that_o to_o a_o lease_n for_o year_n at_o common_a law_n the_o transferr_v of_o the_o possession_n by_o entry_n be_v necessary_a to_o perfect_v the_o conveyance_n so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o lessee_n capable_a of_o take_v a_o release_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o a_o bargain_n and_o sale_n for_o year_n by_o the_o statute_n of_o which_o i_o have_v complain_v as_o be_v perfect_o execute_v to_o this_o intent_n without_o any_o entry_n 2._o that_o to_o a_o grant_v of_o a_o rent_n there_o must_v be_v a_o attornment_n which_o be_v the_o seisin_n of_o the_o rent_n and_o all_o the_o possession_n that_o a_o rent_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o by_o this_o the_o tenant_n have_v the_o same_o notice_n to_o know_v to_o who_o to_o pay_v his_o rent_n as_o he_o have_v by_o a_o feoffment_n of_o the_o land_n though_o i_o confess_v that_o in_o both_o these_o case_n of_o a_o lease_n for_o year_n and_o grant_v of_o a_o rent_n the_o deed_n themselves_o without_o any_o entry_n be_v the_o initiate_a of_o a_o title_n so_o as_o to_o give_v the_o grantee_n a_o right_a to_o have_v their_o title_n perfect_v for_o the_o lessee_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o lease_n may_v enter_v and_o the_o grantee_n of_o the_o rent_n may_v compel_v a_o attornment_n and_o so_o may_v a_o man_n by_o article_n and_o a_o suit_n in_o chancery_n compel_v the_o make_n of_o a_o deed_n but_o till_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v the_o title_n be_v not_o perfect_a but_o indeed_o in_o your_o discourse_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o bargain_n and_o sale_n before_o the_o statute_n you_o seem_v to_o value_v a_o title_n to_o a_o suit_n in_o chancery_n as_o much_o as_o a_o title_n to_o a_o estate_n 3._o as_o to_o a_o release_n to_o a_o disseizor_n there_o be_v a_o actual_a transfer_v of_o the_o possession_n by_o entry_n before_o the_o release_n can_v operate_v and_o the_o entry_n be_v as_o a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o conveyance_n as_o the_o release_n for_o they_o both_o make_v but_o one_o conveyance_n and_o because_o i_o observe_v that_o whereas_o i_o have_v in_o my_o essay_n use_v these_o word_n livery_n and_o seisin_n and_o some_o other_o word_n as_o record_n title_n notice_n etc._n etc._n in_o their_o large_a sense_n according_a to_o common_a intent_n you_o will_v take_v advantage_n of_o i_o by_o comment_v upon_o they_o according_a to_o their_o strict_a signification_n in_o term_n of_o law_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o explain_v this_o controversy_n about_o livery_n and_o seisin_n when_o a_o deed_n be_v make_v first_o and_o the_o possession_n be_v take_v afterward_o this_o the_o lawyer_n call_v a_o feoffment_n and_o when_o the_o possession_n be_v take_v first_o and_o the_o deed_n make_v afterward_o this_o they_o call_v a_o release_n now_o because_o i_o will_v contradict_v the_o lawyer_n in_o their_o term_n of_o art_n i_o neither_o do_v nor_o do_v say_v that_o both_o these_o be_v feofment_n or_o that_o both_o of_o they_o are_z releases_z but_o i_o do_v and_o do_v say_v that_o according_a to_o common_a sense_n they_o be_v both_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o conveyance_n and_o be_v both_o execute_v by_o livery_n and_o seisin_n because_o there_o be_v a_o actual_a and_o visible_a transfer_v of_o the_o possession_n in_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o without_o which_o neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v execute_v but_o as_o in_o the_o first_o the_o deed_n be_v already_o make_v there_o need_v nothing_o more_o but_o possession_n so_o in_o the_o latter_a the_o possession_n be_v already_o have_v there_o need_v nothing_o but_o the_o deed_n for_o the_o law_n hate_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n twice_o by_o circuity_n of_o action_n when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o custody_n of_o the_o sheriff_n by_o any_o one_o writ_n execute_v upon_o he_o he_o be_v in_o his_o custody_n upon_o all_o other_o writ_n then_o deliver_v or_o otherwise_o the_o sheriff_n must_v let_v he_o go_v as_o fast_o as_o he_o take_v he_o in_o order_n to_o take_v he_o again_o and_o as_o littleton_n sect._n 460._o say_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o make_v a_o estate_n by_o livery_n and_o seisin_n to_o another_o where_o he_o have_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o same_o land_n by_o the_o lease_n of_o the_o same_o man_n before_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o you_o and_o your_o admirer_n value_v yourselves_o more_o upon_o knowledge_n of_o term_n of_o art_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o do_v business_n you_o will_v not_o vaunt_v so_o much_o of_o your_o victory_n over_o i_o in_o this_o point_n 4._o as_o to_o a_o surrender_n i_o say_v that_o a_o surrender_n be_v not_o a_o encumbrance_n on_o land_n but_o a_o discharge_v of_o a_o encumbrance_n and_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o my_o essay_n be_v of_o the_o manner_n of_o create_v encumbrance_n and_o not_o of_o discharge_v they_o for_o a_o judgement_n which_o be_v a_o encumbrance_n upon_o record_n may_v be_v discharge_v by_o a_o release_n which_o be_v not_o record_v and_o so_o several_a other_o right_n may_v be_v release_v without_o livery_n o●_n record_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v as_o well_o have_v instance_a in_o any_o of_o they_o as_o in_o a_o surrender_n 5._o as_o to_o a_o devise_n by_o will_n i_o say_v that_o though_o the_o maker_n of_o the_o law_n 32_o h._n 8._o by_o which_o land_n be_v deviseable_a do_v not_o thereby_o particular_o direct_v such_o devise_n to_o be_v register_v yet_o they_o know_v that_o long_a before_o the_o make_v that_o statute_n will_n be_v usual_o register_v whereby_o all_o the_o devise_n therein_o may_v appear_v and_o as_o to_o what_o you_o say_v that_o land_n be_v by_o the_o custom_n of_o several_a borough_n deviseable_a before_o the_o make_v this_o statute_n be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o what_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o contrary_a be_v by_o your_o leave_n take_v a_o point_n of_o law_n without_o ask_v for_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n but_o the_o custom_n of_o a_o hundred_o particular_a borough_n be_v not_o and_o therefore_o nothing_o that_o you_o say_v of_o they_o can_v be_v a_o answer_n to_o
