                  precept of sasine

                  an order by a superior to his baillie representing him, to give heritable possession of lands to a feuar, which could only be done by the ceremony of sasine.  Originally these precepts were documents in their own right, but after 1672 they were incorporated in charters.  The precept of clare constat would be used if sasine was to be given to an heir of a deceased feuar.
