There is nothing in'the agreement like the revival, of the judgment, much less an assent to confess a new judgment that the lien be revived for five years. On the contrary the agreement was to suffer execution to go without a revival. The meaning is plain that the plaintiff should proceed without the trouble and expense of a scire facias, and this was the whole object in view.
