If a creditor comprise his debtor's lands, he cannot have personal action against him likewise for the same debt for which he has comprised, unless he will allege that the comprising is unprofitable to him, and that he is content to renounce it; for otherwise the comprising must be ever ascribed in payment of the debt, like an assignation; for a comprising is a judicial assignation.
