HABEN'DUM, /. [Latin.] In law, a word of courfe 
in a conveyance. In every conveyance there are two 
principal parts, the premifes and the habendum. The office 
of the premi/es is to exprefs the name of the grantor, the 
grantee, and the thing granted. The habendum, is to limit 
the eftate, fo that the general implication, which by 
conftrudion of law palled in the premifes, is by the ha¬ 
bendum controlled aiid qualified. Thus in a leafe of 
two perfous, the habendum to one for life alters the 
general implication of the joint-tenancy in freehold, 
which Ihould pafs by the premifes if that habendum 
were not. This form of conveyance is now exprefled 
by “to have and to hold.”

feventeenth century, but the place and time of whole 
birth are unknown. In 1626 he was admitted to the de¬ 
gree of dodtor by the faculty of the Sorbonne at Paris, 
and was afterwards promoted to a canonry and prebend 
'of the cathedral church in that city. By giving his ap¬ 
probation to father Gibeuf’s treatife On the Liberty of 
God and the Creature, he became involved in a contro¬ 
verfy with the Jefuits, concerning the dodtrine of effica¬ 
cious grace ; which he held in a fenfe different from that 
of Janfenius, to whofe fyftem he was hoftile, as well as 
to that of his opponents. Cardinal Richelieu employed 
him fo combat in the pulpit the Auguftinus of Ypres. 
This talk he undertook in three Sermons, which he 
preached and publiffied at Paris in 1642 and 1643. The 
appearance of thefe fermons gave rife to a controverfy 
between the author and the celebrated M. Arnauld, the 
titles of whofe reply, and of M. Habert’s rejoinder, Sic. 
the curious reader may find in Moreri. As a proof of 
the minifter’s approbation .of his fervices, in 1645 he was 
nominated to the bilhopric.of Vabres, wliere he died in 
1668, equally refpedted for his virtues and for his eru¬ 
dition. He publilhed, 1. Liber Pontijicalis Gres corum, Grac. 
& Lat. 1643, folio, of which he furnilhed the Latin ver- 
lion, and numerous learned illuftrative notes. 2. De

vicar in the diocefes of Lujon, Auxerre, Verdun, and 
Chalons fur Marne. In thefe employments he acquired 
general efleem by his learning, his virtues, and his piety. 
The latter part of his life he fpent at the houfe of the 
Sorbonne, where he chiefly devoted his time to the re- 
folution of cafes of conference. He died In 1718, in the 
eighty-fecond year of his age. While he filled the poll 
of grand vicar at Verdun, he publilhed The Practice 
of Penance, 121110. which has undergone numerous

the houle of the Sorbonne, he publilhed A complete 
Body of Divinity, written in Latin, in 7 vols. i2ino. 
of which the firft;appeared in 1709, and the laff in

fur Marne.
