indeed Fee-Simple is the most pure holding that is, being unmixt or en∣tangled in it self. But as the whitest Colour will be soonest stained; so is this pure Tenure most subject to be spotted and involved in troubles a∣bove any other; Which the Law calls Incombrances.
If a man were to deal as purchaser with a Tenant in Fee-Simple, he hath a happy bargine if he meets with a Simple Tenure and a Simple Tenant; I mean, the one free from Incom∣brances, and the other from deceit: which many have found it a difficult thing to obtain.
I shall therefore by way of cauti∣on set down the several troubles and incombrances this pure and Simple Tenure, called Fee-Simple, is subject unto.
Fee-Simple may be incombred, with several Judgments, Statutes Merchant and of the Staple, Recog∣nizances, Mortgages, Wills, Pre∣contracts, Bargains and Sailes, Feoffments, Fines, Amerciaments, Joyntures, Dowers, and many o∣ther fraudulent Conveyances, if a knave once possesse it; and last of

all, may be quite forfeited for Trea∣son.
But Fee-Simple being free from a∣ny of the aforementioned incom∣brances, is the most free, absolute, and ample Estate of Inheritance that that any man can have; And there∣fore a Tenant in Fee-Simple, is said to be Seistus in Dominico suo, ut de feodo; that is, seized in his Demeasne as of Fee.
