II.   Instruments & Transactions

A Deed is a Superior or Inferior Instrument in writing on paper or parchment that is sealed and delivered under some claimed ecclesiastical authority; and attested by some administrative authority; and registered under some fiduciary authority as to the intention, capacity, action and record of event of one party giving, or granting, or assigning or delegating some form of rights and property by conveyance or transfer to another party.

There exists two essential forms of Deed being Inferior and Superior:

(i) An Inferior Deed is any Instrument issued under the Scientiam Mysteria (Occult Knowledge) standards of instruments and writing first formed under King Henry VIII of England from the 16th Century to the present day and designed to enclose all property to the State with the State to be the Church (Church of State) and the conduit for Divine Law and Ecclesiastical Law; and

(ii) A Superior Deed is any deed that conforms to the present Canons and the most sacred Covenant known as Pactum De Singularis Caelum and its associated Covenants and Charters.

The word "deed" is a 16th Century corruption of the ancient 1st Millennium BCE Gaelic word déid meaning "intent, wish, desire" which was always a spoken (auricular) pronouncement before certain witnesses:

(i) The claim that the word "deed" orginates from Old English daed back to at least the 12th Century and the claimed custom of written instruments of conveyence is a clumsy fraud of history that contradicts all competent historical evidence; and

(ii) The first Act of function of deeds is in 1535 (27 H.8. c.16) entitled "For inrollment of bargains and sales" whereby no land could be passed by bargain or sale unless is was in writing, indented, sealed and inrolled; and

(iii) The word "deed" is first properly attested in the promulgation of the first statute of history defining the concept of deed via Henry VIII and The Subscription of Deeds Act 1540 (Scotland) c.37, later amended in 1579 and again in 1681; and

(iv) The Subscription of Deeds Act 1540 not only introduced the legal form and concept of a written deed but required the instrument be signed by the grantor before two witnesses with the subscription of a notary to the deed. Thus, from the very beginning the nature of a deed was not a deed unless also sealed by a notary being an ecclesiastical officer; and

(v) In amendments introduced in the Subscription of Deeds Act 1579, two notaries could replace the role of the grantor in signing and sealing a valid deed. In the Subscription of Deeds Act 1681 this was tempered with the requirement for two witnesses to give warrant to any notaries signing and should in ritual "touch their pens". The requirement of touching the notary's pen was removed by the Conveyancing Act 1874; and

(vi) In 1708, a new Act was introduced named “An Act for the public registering of deeds, conveyances, and wills, and other incumbrances which shall be made of, or that may affect any honors, manors, lands, tenements, or hereditaments…” (7 Ann c.20), associated with the naming of that part of London (Middlesex) as a county and not a corporation. For the first time, Deeds and Wills needed to be centrally registered under the Court of Chancery to be considered valid; and

(vii) In 1752, through the Registry of Deeds Act (25 Geo.2 c.4), separate offices for the Kings Bench for the registration of Deeds and Wills were to be established in the various counties to overcome the backlog and delay in conveyance due to a central system of control; and

(viii) In 1813, through the Informal Attestation of Certain Deeds Act (54 Geo 3 c. 168) Memorandum of Attestation of Deeds whereby the need for a separate Memorandum of Attestation of Deed was redundant if the Deed itself had been duly signed, sealed and delivered; and

(ix) By 1881 and the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act (44 & 45 Vict. c.41), a new system of private “deeds”, conveyances and acknowledgments under the authority and control of members of the Private Bar Guilds was introduced creating the appearance of public instruments and valid deeds, when such property was in fact gifted to the Bar as agents for the Government and then honored by custom as to the intent of the parties, to maintain the illusion of legitimacy; and

(x) In 1989, through the Companies Act and Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, the requirement for every company to keep a common seal was abolished, including the need for a seal to be present to execute Deeds. Instead, officers of the company could execute claimed Deeds by the signature alone.

All Superior or Inferior Deeds are either Indented or Poll:

(i) An Indenture Deed, also known in the past as a Deed Inter Partes, is a deed containing mutual stipulations by two or more distinct parties. By tradition, such deeds were prepared on the same parchment and then “cut” to produce an “instar dentium” pattern whereby words and symbols could not be completed without the two originals returning to their position. After the abolition of such formality by statute (7 & 8 Vict. c.76) at the beginning of the 19th Century, the use of colored copies (e.g. white, blue, yellow and pink) fulfilled similar function; and

(ii) A Deed Poll is a deed made by one person or by several persons as the same interest whereby a right or property is conveyed and transferred as a declaration upon some previous and existing agreement and relation between the parties. By tradition, such deeds were so named after the Latin term “pollex” in reference to the use of a thumbprint as a sacred seal.

In accord with these Canons, a valid Deed is constructed of ten essential elements being Datum, Parties, Exordium, Recitatum, Condicio, Habendum, Reddendum, Obsignio, Insignio, Testificatio and Attestatus:

(i) Datum being the Date and Place of the Execution of the Deed in words, not numbers; and

(ii) Parties being the individual parties to the Deed; and

(iii) Recitatum or Recitals outlines the purpose of the Deed and describes the grantors’ intention and motives for their Deed, the consideration expressed for the deed, words of grant and the description of the property conveyed. Therefore, it is in the Recitatum of a valid Deed that property is effectively granted, given, assigned or delegated; and

(iv) Condicio (Conditions) being the listing of any conditions, obligations and terms of performance, by Roman numeral (if any) to the grant or conveyance outlined by the Recitatum; and

(v) Habendum is the part of a deed that formally defines the extent of ownership or tenancy granted; and

(vi) Reddendum is a clause in a Deed by which some part of the whole estate of property is reserved out of that which is being granted or assigned. The Reddendum is essential in any Deed as Lease; and

(vii) Obsignio of the official authorizing the instrument being their sign, or official seal; and

(viii) Insignio of the inventor or scriptor, also known as the “signati recordis” being usually a wax seal of their distinguishing mark, seal, badge, decoration or name connected by red and/or gold cord to the linen; and

(ix) Testificatio (Attestation) being the testification of the maker that it is their wish reflected by the ancient Latin saying being Teste me ipso apud <> then date in Latin meaning “Witness myself at the place <> date”; and

(x) Attestatus as a memorandum attached to the Deed that serves to bear witness, confirm, acknowledge or authenticate and signed by the Parties.

The key elements of the form of a valid Deed are:

(i) Quality Paper, Parchment or Vellum means that the paper used is of a durable quality and standard to the size used in normal jurisdiction within the region. A single continuous large sheet called a Concordat, or printed on standard sized paper on several pages bound together in a folio called a Codex; and

(ii) One Sided means that the Deed is preferably written or printed on only one side of the page; and

(iii) Legible Print means that all writing and printing is clear, sharp and legible of a 12 point serif font (e.g. Times); and

(iv) Numbered Pages means that all individual pages of the Deed are uniquely numbered in ascending order beginning with 1; and

(v) Securely Fastened means Individual Pages of the Deed are securely fastened together; and

(vi) Words not Figures means that all expressions of dates, sums and other numbers, except the numbering of paragraphs, pages or reference numbers in association to the matter are in words, not figures or numbers; and

(vii) Signing of Pages means that if the Deed is more than one page, then the Grantor and the Authorized Witness(es) must sign each page as validation.

A Deed is invalid if written upon the skin of any animal. Vellum, Parchment of any kind is strictly forbidden and automatically renders any such instrument null and void. Only Ecclesiastical Deeds and Pronouncements are permitted to use the flesh of a living being, namely the blood of the True Trustee of the True Person who seals it with their thumbprint.

A Deed Poll is a valid Form of Deed, sealed by a thumbprint signature whereby a Person first expresses, affirms and conveys certain rights to another party who are then lawfully bound upon consent by silence, proof of receipt or service. The word "Poll" comes from the Latin pollex meaning 'thumb'. An Ecclesiastical Deed Poll is the highest form of valid Deed.

Given the Statutes pertaining to Inferior Deeds born out of Western Roman law have progressively depreciated and corrupted the laws of deeds to no longer resemble in any fashion a valid Deed, only Superior Deeds in accord with these canons may be regarded as valid.
