doubtful b Vid the judgement of the  master of the roll cholmondeley v Clinton James Watk b for at the c light sect  roll   light a c commonlaw land be not devisable but only by custom and that  in ancient city and borough of house and small thing but by the statute of and  h all land accord to the purview thereof be devisable which statute coke a be  make to the great disadvantage d   light b Cr car Vaugh san Dall pl lane more  d of heir at the commonlaw by will for the most part make in extremity of  sickness and that utter against the rule and reason also of the commonlaw for  the ancient commonlaw do favour he who the commonlaw make heir because he be  to sit in the seat of his ancestor and to serve the king and commonwealth in  as good estate as his ancestor do and therefore it appear by Glanville who be  chief justice in the time of h lib cap fol that every freeman without the  assent of his heir may dispose of a reasonable part of his land with his  daughter in frankmarriage for the advancement of his blood or to any servant  in recompense of his service or in frankalmoigne to any religious house to  have divine prayer make for he but all this he ought to do in e roll b b e  health and not in extremity of sickness to the end that such gift shall not be  make more out of rage and fury of mind than of good discretion and so his gift  may exceed measure but if any such gift which be make in time of sickness  shall be good and firm in law the consent and confirmation of his next heir be  requisite to it also if a man who have land by descent have issue many son he  can not have give any of this land to any of his young son without the consent  of the old to the end that the father who for the most part bear most a Cr car  a affection to the young son shall not disinherit the old but of his land  which he have acquire by his own purchase he may have give a part to his young  son and if he have not any issue he may have give all of it to who he please  and all this appear in lib cap fol Glanville by which it appear that the  ancient commonlaw do always respect the heir at commonlaw then in the case at  bar forasmuch as by the judgement of the commonlaw on the like word in a  conveyance it will be but a estate for life the remainder to their child for  life thence it follow that the intent and not the word only of the devisor  ought to make it a estatetail in this case then this intent ought to be  manifest and certain and so express in the will and in this case no such  intent appear for peradventure his meaning be to agree with the rule of the  law and therefore this James walk difference be resolve for good law that if a  devise his land to b and to his child or issue and he have not any issue at  the time of the devise that the same be a estatetail Ves vent Bulst light Rep  keb Swinb carter Cr Elizabeth Lucas r c Fitzgib for the intent of the devisor  be manifest and certain that his child or issue shall take and as

such coke b word shall be take as word of  limitation sure as much as child or issue of his body for every child or issue  ought to be of the body and therewith agree a case Trin Elizabeth report by  sergeant Bendloes where the case be that one devise land b Bulst b to husband  and wife and to the man child of their body beget and it do not appear in the  case that they have any issue male at the time of the devise and therefore it  be adjudge that they have a estatetail to they and the heir male of their body  but if a man devise land to a and to his child or c Cr Elizabeth c issue and  they then have issue of their body there his express intent may take effect  accord to the rule of the commonlaw and no manifest and certain intent appear  in the will to the contrary and therefore in such case they shall have but a  joint estate for life but it be resolve that if a man as in the case at bar  devise land to husband and wife Benl and pl vent Kep light Rep Owen more and  after their
