good causes, give and grant this License of Faculty, as well to them the said Par-

other lawful cause, there be no legal impediment in this behalf, otherwise, if any
fraud shall appear to have been committed, at the time of granting this License,
either by false suggestions or concealment of the truth, that then this License shall
be null and void, to all intents and purposes whatsoever.
