I.S. made a lease for years, rendering rent to him durante vita et assignatis fuis. Bear argued that no rent shall be paid after I. S.’s death. 27 H. 8. 19. per Audley.

A reservation shall be taken strictly against the reserver. Plowd. 171. *45 Tr. 15 Jac. Com. Bench. Rot. 3077. Wotton’s case, postea, p, 274.
