receive, & then to have, hold, manure & occupy in statu quo prius, that is in the state before & I do not doubt but your grant in this case will be good, for there is a case that proves this in quinto of Rich the third: a patron was seized of an advowson in fee, with two nuns appendent, & thereunto presented a parson, with a proviso, that if the incumbent should alien grant, demise, let, set, or otherwise put away the premises, or any part or parcel thereof, that then it should be lawful for the patron (or his assigns) in and upon the whole to re-enter. The incumbent aliened, the Patron entered, the Quare was, whether those two Nuns were any part of the premises, & by virtue of the proviso subject to the re-entry: & after long dispute it was agreed by all the Court, that the entry was good, as well in the two Nuns, as in the rest of the premises. Then much more in this case, where we are both lay men. Sure this fellow thinks he hath some right to me, & he hopes to win me by law, but what think ye: if my husband should come and enter now upon us two, in what case were you? Why well enough, perchance he would complain of me to the bench, and then I should be put out of commons: that's the worst he could do, & that 's nothing; for I was once put out of commons before, for beating of the panyard man: and in again within three days after. O Madam, madam, what will you do? my master is come as I am a living man. O lass sir, what shall I do with you? Why hide me somewhere, cannot ye hide me here? O no, no, no, he doth use to search all the house still, to see if he can find anybody here, but i'll tell ye what ye shall do, draw out your rapier and go out against him, & whatsoever question he ask you, make him no answer, but only say, ye doubt not for all this, but you shall meet him and be revenged well enough in another place, and leave the rest to me. I warrant ye. Come out, come out man. 'slight woman your husband will see me. Spretious man, that's all one, come out, come out, draw your sword, hold it in your hand, make some show of resistance. 'sblood woman he hath a pistol. He hath none, he hath none, by this hand I did but jest. Nor no other weapon? Nor no other weapon? I'faith. Why will ye not believe me? i'faith he hath not. Well then, well, nay I care not if he had. Why how now Wife, what's the matter? what stir have we here? Why husband did you not meet a man with a rapier drawn in his hand? Yes, and here's another.
