-—We find ourfelves enrolled in this heavenly family as 
fervants, and as fons. Spratt. 
Mentes, an ever-honour’d name of old. 
High in Ulyfles’ focial lifts enroll'd. Pope. 
To record ; to leave in writing: 
Laws, which none fliall find 
Left them enroll'd ; or what the fpirit within 
Shall on the heart engrave. Milton. 
To involve ; to inwrap : 
From his infernal furnace forth he threw 
Huge flame, that dimmed all the heaven’s light,

ENROL'LER, f. He that enrols; he that regifters. 
ENROL'MENT, f. Regifter ; writing in which any 
thing is recorded ; record.—The king himfelf caufed to 
be enrolled, and teftified by a notary public ; and deli¬ 
vered the enrolments , with his own hands, to the bifiiop of 
Salifbury. Davies on Ireland. 
ENROL'MENT,/. in law, the regiftering or entering 
in the rolls of the chancery, king’s-bench, common-pleas, 
or exchequer, or by the clerk of the peace in the records 
of the quarter feffions, of any lawful aft; as a ftatute or 
recognizance acknowledged, a deed of bargain and fale of 
lands, See. An enrolment of a deed, may be either by the 
common law, or according to the ftatute : and enrolment 
of deeds ought to be made in parchment, and recorded in 
court, for perpetuity’s fake. But the enrolling a deed 
doth not make it a record, though it thereby becomes a 
deed recorded : for there is a difference between matter 
of record, and a thing recorded to be kept in memory ; a 
record being the entry in parchment of judicial matters 
controverted in a court of record, and whereof the court 
takes notice ; whereas an enrolment of a deed is a private 
aft of the parties concerned, of which the court takes no 
cognizance at the time of doing it, although the court 
permits it. 2 Lil. Abr. 69. 
Every deed, before it is enrolled, is to be acknowledged 
to be the deed of the party before a mailer of the court 
of chancery, or a judge of the court wherein enrolled; 
which is the officer’s warrant for enrolling of the fame : 
and the enrolment of a deed, if it be acknowledged by the 
grantor, will be good proof of the deed itfelf upon a trial. 
A deed may be enrolled without the examination of the 
party himfelf; for it is fufficient if oath is made of the 
execution. If two are parties, and the deed is acknow¬ 
ledged by one, the other is bound by it : and if a man 
lives in New York, &c. and would pafs land in England, 
a nominal perfon may be joined with him in the deed, 
who may acknowledge it here, and it will be binding. 
1 Salk. 389. If the party dies before it is enrolled, it may 
be enrolled afterwards; and enrolments of deeds operate 
by virtue of the ftatute of enrolments; but if livery and 
feifin be had before the enrolling, it prevents the opera¬ 
tion of the enrolment, and the party fliall be in by that, as 
the more worthy ceremony to pafs eftates. zNelf.Abr. 1010. 
An indorfement on the back of the deed by the proper 
officer is fufficient evidence of the enrolment. Doug. 56,8. 
And by 10 Anne, c. 18, where a bargain and fale enrolled 
Ihall be pleaded with a profert, a copy of the enrolment 
flgned by the proper officer, and proved on oath to be a 
true copy, fliall be of the fame force as the deed itfelf. 
Enrolment is ordained in divers cafes by ftatute; of bar¬ 
gains and fales by 27 Hen. VIII. c. 16. Deeds in corpo¬ 
rations, &c. 34 and 35 Hen. VIII. c. 22. Of writings in

ENS VE'NERIS,/. The ens martis is in many difpen- 
fatories called by this name; others direct a fublimation

Hence it appears, that there is really no ens veneris.
