Manser's case between painter and Manser the case be such painter bring a  action of debt upon a obligation against Manser and the defendant plead the  obligation be with condition sure that whereas the defendant have feoff the  plaintiff of certain land if the plaintiff shall at all time follow enjoy  those land discharge or otherwise keep indemnify from all encumbrance c and  also if the defendant and John Manser his son shall do all act and device for  the better assurance of those land to he as by the plaintiff or his counsel  learned in the law shall be devise that then the obligation shall be void and  plead that the plaintiff have enjoy the say land discharge and keep indemnify  from all encumbrance c and that the plaintiff devise a write of release to be  make by the defendant and John his son to the plaintiff which the defendant do  seal and deliver as his deed and because his son be not letter and can not  read the say John pray the plaintiff to deliver it to he to be show to some  man learned in the law who may inform he if it be make accord to the condition  and say further that if it be accord to the condition he will deliver it which  the plaintiff refuse wherefore he do not deliver it as it be lawful he shall  not whereupon the plaintiff demurrer and it be adjudge for the plaintiff in  this case three point be resolve saint if a man not letter be bind to make a  deed he be not bind to seal and deliver any write tender to he unless somebody  be present who can read the deed to he if he require the write to be read to  he and if the deed be in Latin French or other language which the party who be  to execute the write do not understand in such case if the party demand that  one shall read and interpret the write to he and none be present that can read  and expound the tenor of the same in that language that the party who be to  deliver the deed understand there the party may well refuse to deliver it so  although the man can read yet if the deed be in Latin French or other such  language as the party who be to execute can understand if he require that the  write be read or expound to he in such language as he may understand it and  nobody be there to do it the party may refuse to deliver it and it be to know  that quoth ignorance be duplex videlicet fact law turned back ignorance fact  quoad remember our men  detained be duplex videlicet reading  linguae note  reader that ignorance in read or ignorance of the language who are ignorance  fact may excuse but as be common say ignorance law non excuse for  notwithstanding that there it be say that although the party can read and know  the language also in which the write be make yet he do not know the sense and  operation of the word in law and whether they agree with the condition of his  obligation or not and therefore some of the justice think that in such case  the party shall have reasonable time to show the write to his counsel at law  to be instruct by they whether it be accord to what he be bind to do and  namely when there be no time limit in which it be to be do so as in regard  that the other party may request the do of it when he please it be not  possible for the party to have his learned counsel at all time with he and  therefore prima faeie it seem reasonable that the party shall have reasonable  time as afore say but at length upon the view of the record of a judgement in  this court year  Elizabeth in the time of the lord dyer between sir Anthony  coke and Wotton that upon such request make to sir Anthony coke by Wotton to  seal a indenture sir Anthony who be not learned in the law be oblige to seal  it peremptory at his peril and can not obtain convenient time to consult upon  it with his counsel hereupon it be resolve in the case at the bar accord to  the say judgement see the case now report by the lord dyer Trinit Elizabeth  dier and it be say that the case at the bar be strong than that of sir Anthony  coke for in this case the defendant oblige himself that his son who be a  stranger to the obligation shall do c in which case he have undertake that his  son shall do it at his peril for he that be oblige undertake more for a  stranger than for himself in many case vide Henry b Henry Edward Edward b  Edward and Henry b d it be resolve that the defendant plead be insufficient  for he have plead that the plaintiff have enjoy the land discharge and keep  harmless from encumbrance where he ought to have show how so if he have plead  that he have save he harmless he ought to have show how but in such case if he  have plead in the negative non to be injure there it be otherwise second he  have plead quoth a certain scribe relaxationis be seal and deliver and do not  show whether the release concern the land mention in the condition and for all  these cause the plaintiff have judgement to recover note reader there be great  reason that the write shall be expound in such language that the party may  understand it although he can read because by the law he be at his peril to  deliver it present upon request and have not time to consult upon it with  learned counsel
