Those requirements were treated as substantive protections against coercion, undue influence, and improvidence, so mere recording of statements without the prescribed satisfaction or endorsement did not amount to substantial compliance. Applying the rule that a prescribed statutory mode must be followed exactly, the non-observance of the procedure vitiated the surrender.
