§. 41. Quest. 34. Am I obliged if the other break Covenant with me?1
- 1Quest. 34.
Answ. There are Covenants which make Relations (as between Husband and Wife, Pastor and Flock, Rulers and Subjects); and Covenants which convey title to commodities, of which only I am here to speak. And in these there are some Conditions which are essential to the Covenant: If the other first break these conditions, you are disobliged. But there are other conditions which are not essential, but only necessary to some following benefit: whose non-performance will only forfeit that particular benefit: And there are conditions which are only undertaken subsequent duties, trusted on the honesty of the performer: And in these a failing doth not disoblige you. These latter are but improperly called Conditions.
