to_o have_v access_n to_o the_o comprise_v land_n by_o assignation_n in_o manner_n foresaid_a during_o the_o legal_a but_o they_o likewise_o declare_v that_o if_o the_o lady_n redeem_v not_o within_o

thereafter_o insolvent_a yet_o this_o hold_v not_o in_o many_o case_n in_o our_o law_n for_o we_o find_v that_o disposition_n of_o less_o than_o the_o half_a of_o ward-land_n without_o consent_n of_o

the_o rubric_n of_o our_o statute_n may_v found_v a_o presumptive_a argument_n for_o explicate_v the_o text_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o authoritative_a for_o the_o rubric_n be_v not_o read_v in_o

that_o act_n and_o by_o the_o power_n as_o here_o repeat_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n have_v only_a power_n to_o make_v order_n relate_v to_o the_o regulation_n of_o their_o own_o house_n

the_o material_a distribution_n of_o justice_n such_o as_o that_o all_o writ_n shall_v be_v null_a except_o subscribe_v before_o witness_n though_o they_o may_v have_v ordain_v that_o paper_n under_o

need_v no_o parliament_n for_o their_o statute_n may_v bind_v all_o the_o people_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o lord_n of_o session_n can_v not_o have_v make_v this_o law_n declare_v contract_n among_o the_o liege_n to_o be_v null_a that_o touch_v upon_o one_o of_o the_o fundamental_o of_o humane_a society_n albeit_o they_o may_v have_v declare_v such_o a_o nullity_n receiveable_a by_o way_n of_o exception_n for_o that_o concern_v only_o form_n of_o process_n but_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o
