MOribus nostris haeres nullum Jus consequitur nisi haereditatem ade∣at, sive ea sit in praediis sive in aliis rebus haereditariis. In ter∣ris autem duo sunt modi adeundi, ut sciʐ. a Superiore seu domino di∣recto, vassallo defuncto, haeres agnoscatur & ejus jussu & seu praecepto (quod Clare Constat dicitur) ut haeres investiatur: vel ex inquisitione Judicis ad quem ea res pertinet constet, & ab eo renunciatum sit eum esse haeredem, & Sasina secuta sit: In aliis vero rebus unicus adeun∣di modus ex inquisitione sciʐ. Cum igitur in casu superiori, substitutus nulla praevia Inquisitione secundum obitum Sempronii, statim & recte adversus debitorem agat, haud immerito dubitatur an Sempronio haeres sit? sed,

Respondetur, isto casu aditionem haud deesse imo necessariam esse; cum enim haereditas aut opulenta aut damnosa sit; ut invito non datur bene∣ficium ita damnum & injuria non debet inferri; nec ullo jure nisi civili apud Romanos haeres necessarius est, & apud eos unico tantum casu: sub∣stitutus autem ipso facto adit & haeres est, si debitum ut suum petat & ex Chirographo agat: Ideo autem solenni ex institutione adeundi modo haud opus est, cum ex Chirographoeum Sempronio succedere clare con∣stat, neo in claris ulterius inquirere necesse sit.
