2. When a promise is reduced to the form of a written agreement under
seal, it is called a covenant.

upon a sufficient consideration -- when made without consideration, however,
it may be binding in foro conscientice, it is not obligatory in law, being
nudum pactum. Rutherf. Inst. 85; 18 Eng. C. L. Rep. 180, note a; Merl. Rep.
h.t.
4. When a promise is made, all that is said at the time, in relation to
it, must be considered; if, therefore, a man promise to pay all he owes,

such a promise. 15 Wend. 187.
5. And when the promise is conditional, the condition must be performed
before it becomes of binding force. 7 John. 36. Vide Condition. Promises are
