certify such refusal in the following words, or
to that effect; either in writing directed to, or
verbally and personally before, the commissary,
and in no other matter.
I A. B. the appointed executor in the last will and
testament of C. D. late of ------ county deceased,
do hereby refuse to act as executor in said will, by
virtue of such appointment, and do therefore renounce
all my right, title, and claim to said executorship
accordingly.

renunciation. |
And note, that in every case where executors
thus enter their renunciation, all executors
named in such will (if more there be) must do
the same, before letters with a copy of the will
annexed can be issued. As also when several
executors are appointed, and only one applies
for letters testamentary, they cannot issue to
him without a previous renunciation, as above,
being entered, by every other executor in such
will named and appointed.
