In the same way the flower of the secta croa brings a hundred years to those who use it, whether they be of lesser or of longer age.
A hundred years later Bracton shows that the secta had degenerated to the retainers and household of the party, and he says that their oath raises but a slight presumption.
At the same time the secta had shrunk to a form, although it was still argued that its function was more important in contract than elsewhere.
I think it is not straining the evidence to infer that the "good suit" of the later reports was the descendant of the Saxon transaction witnesses, as it has been shown that Glanvill's secta was.
It was still necessary that thesecta should be tendered in every action of debt for which no writing was produced.
With the advent of this enlightened procedure, the secta soon ceased to decide the case, and it may well be asked why it did not disappear and leave no traces.
It may be asked, Why was not the scope of the witness oath enlarged, or, if any better proof were forthcoming, why was not the secta done away with, and other oral testimony admitted?
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "secta" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
