MORTGAGE.

Mortagage, is derived of two French words, viz. mort, id est, mortuum, and Gage, id est vadium, or pignus. And it is called in Latin mortuum vadium or Morgagium, to distinguish it from that which is called vivum vadium. As if a man borrow an hundred pounds of another, and maketh an estate of Lands unto him, untill he hath received the said summe of the issues and profits of the Lands, so* 1.1 as in this Case neither Money nor Land dieth or is lost, and therefore it is called vivum vadium.
