PRotestation est un form̄ d' Pleading, qn̄t ascun ne voit directm̄t affirmer, ne direct∣ment denier ascun chose q̄l est alledge {per}pauter, ou que il m̄ alledge. Et est en deux man∣ners. L'un est, qn̄t un pleade ascun chose que il ne ofast di∣rectment affirmer, ou ne poit pleader pur doubt de fair̄ son Plee double. Cōe si en con∣veying
a luy Title a ascun Terre, il doit pleader divers Discents {per} divers {per}sons, & il nosast affirmer que eux touts fueront seisies al tēps de lour mort, ou coment il ceo pur∣roit, ceo serra double a plead deux Discents; de queux am∣bideux chescun per luy poit estre bone Barr. Donques le Defendant doit pleader & al∣ledges le matter, enterlacing cest parol protestando, come adire, que tiel obiit (prote∣stando) seisie, &c. Et ceo est destr̄ alledge {per} Protestation, & nemy traversable {per} lauter. Auter Protestatiō est, qn̄t ū est de responder al deux choses, & tamen per le Ley il doit plead fors{que} al un; donq̄s en le primer {per}t del Plee il dirra al un matter, protestando, & non cognoscendo cel matter estre voyer, & faire son Plee ouster {per} ceux parols, Sed pro placi∣to dicit, &c. Et ceo est pur salvation al partie (que issint plead {per} Protestation) destre conclude {per} asc matter alledge ou object encounter luy, sur que il ne poit joyner issue; & fiest auter chose mes un ex∣clusion del Conclusion; car il que prist Protestation exclud' laut' {per}tie de cōcluder luy. Et cest Protestation doit estoyer ove le sequel del Plee, & nemy destr̄ repugnāt, ou auterment contrarie.
