here_o be_v many_o strong_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o you_o be_v now_o to_o answer_v the_o argument_n in_o hand_n and_o for_o your_o assert_v that_o my_o prove_v she_o be_v not_o by_o

if_o he_o have_v no_o other_o wife_n but_o bertred_n and_o she_o no_o daughter_n to_o bertred_n then_o certain_o if_o she_o be_v a_o daughter_n and_o so_o call_v she_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o bastard_n and_o as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o law_n you_o urge_v that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v prove_v a_o bastard_n but_o in_o his_o life-time_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o a_o estate_n because_o the_o dead_a person_n can_v answer_v to_o the_o exception_n yet_o though_o the_o law_n allow_v not_o this_o in_o plead_n what_o hinder_v but_o bastardy_n may_v be_v prove_v by_o history_n or_o

this_o be_v what_o before_o you_o have_v say_v over_o and_o over_o again_o and_o have_v before_o be_v answer_v by_o i_o but_o i_o conceive_v that_o neither_o the_o name_n of_o her_o daughter_n in_o

judicious_a reader_n to_o look_v back_o where_o i_o have_v before_o speak_v of_o it_o that_o in_o those_o ancient_a age_n the_o word_n daughter_n be_v frequent_o use_v without_o the_o addition_n of_o bastard_n both_o in_o old_a deed_n and_o history_n nay_o rare_o or_o never_o be_v it_o otherwise_o use_v even_o to_o bastard_n as_o well_o as_o lawful_a issue_n whereof_o be_v sundry_a example_n as_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o such_o as_o be_v skill_v in_o antiquity_n and_o by_o your_o own_o argument_n if_o she_o be_v not_o call_v his_o daughter_n no_o estate_n of_o inheritance_n can_v have_v pass_v by_o the_o deed_n though_o she_o be_v a_o bastard_n because_o hereby_o she_o be_v own_v to_o be_v of_o his_o kindred_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o land_n have_v pass_v in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la to_o some_o such_o who_o be_v know_v to_o be_v bastard_n though_o not_o so_o name_v whereof_o i_o have_v show_v a_o precedent_n of_o those_o age_n in_o my_o book_n which_o be_v not_o

add_v out_o of_o spelman_n be_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n that_o in_o case_n of_o honour_n and_o profit_n distinction_n be_v then_o make_v that_o by_o the_o appellation_n of_o son_n bastard_n be_v not_o comprehend_v by_o the_o custom_n of_o normandy_n what_o than_o this_o suppose_v that_o in_o other_o case_n and_o former_o by_o the_o appellation_n of_o son_n bastard_n be_v comprehend_v this_o make_v direct_o against_o you_o and_o you_o know_v what_o spelman_n say_v in_o the_o very_a word_n next_o follow_v that_o the_o ancient_a northern_a people_n admit_v bastard_n to_o succeed_v in_o their_o inheritance_n and_o that_o william_n the_o conqueror_n be_v not_o ashamed_a of_o that_o title_n who_o begin_v his_o letter_n to_o alan_n earl_n of_o little_a britain_n as_o he_o do_v many_o other_o ego_fw-la willielmus_fw-la cognomento_fw-la bastardus_fw-la but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o the_o answer_v of_o the_o argument_n or_o prove_v hugh_n cyveliok_v to_o have_v have_v a_o former_a wife_n only_o you_o will_v have_v the_o word_n in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la to_o prove_v amice_fw-la absolute_o legitimate_a this_o be_v all_o the_o answer_v you_o give_v to_o the_o point_n and_o this_o will_v not_o do_v it_o as_o be_v before_o prove_v whither_o i_o have_v refer_v the_o ingenious_a reader_n your_o four_o answer_n to_o my_o first_o argument_n p._n 60_o 61._o and_o here_o you_o say_v that_o if_o all_o must_v be_v bastard_n if_o we_o can_v not_o tell_v who_o be_v their_o mother_n nor_o direct_o prove_v their_o father_n marry_v we_o may_v then_o conclude_v most_o person_n bastard_n and_o so_o you_o can_v frame_v my_o own_o argument_n against_o i_o thus_o if_o roger_n manwaringe_v who_o live_v about_o 1119._o have_v no_o wife_n than_o william_n randle_n and_o uvido_z son_n of_o the_o say_v roger_n be_v certain_o bastard_n but_o roger_n manwaringe_v aforesaid_a have_v no_o wife_n ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n now_o if_o this_o argument_n against_o amicia_n will_v hold_v it_o will_v also_o hold_v against_o these_o three_o child_n of_o roger_n and_o so_o against_o all_o other_o in_o like_a nature_n my_o reply_n to_o your_o four_o answer_n to_o my_o first_o argument_n here_o you_o argue_v well_o and_o i_o say_v to_o your_o minor_n that_o roger_n have_v a_o wife_n though_o we_o yet_o know_v not_o who_o she_o be_v and_o this_o appear_v certain_o because_o the_o land_n descend_v from_o heir_n to_o heir_n but_o i_o frame_v my_o affirmative_a part_n more_o formal_o thus_o if_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o roger_n succeed_v by_o descent_n in_o his_o inheritance_n than_o roger_n have_v a_o wife_n but_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o roger_n succeed_v by_o descent_n in_o his_o inheritance_n this_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o enjoyment_n thereof_o from_o heir_n to_o heir_n ergo_fw-la roger_n have_v a_o wife_n if_o you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n of_o the_o major_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o no_o bastard_n can_v succeed_v in_o the_o inheritance_n without_o a_o special_a settlement_n ergo_fw-la if_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o roger_n succeed_v by_o descent_n in_o the_o inheritance_n than_o roger_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o wife_n and_o nothing_o appear_v here_o of_o any_o special_a settlement_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o argument_n retort_v be_v answer_v now_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v by_o like_a reason_n that_o hugh_n cyveliok_v have_v a_o former_a wife_n before_o bertred_n it_o will_v be_v some_o answer_n but_o the_o pass_n of_o land_n in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la in_o that_o age_n be_v no_o certain_a argument_n of_o legitimacy_n for_o than_o i_o confess_v you_o will_v prove_v ex_fw-la consequenti_fw-la hugh_n cyveliok_n must_v needs_o have_v another_o wife_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a contest_v between_o we_o for_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o argument_n for_o her_o legitimacy_n be_v little_a material_a and_o not_o solid_a now_o you_o repeat_v this_o often_o over_o and_o over_o again_o where_o you_o have_v as_o oft_o be_v tell_v that_o land_n in_o those_o former_a age_n do_v pass_v to_o bastard_n in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la whereof_o i_o have_v give_v you_o one_o precedent_n which_o neither_o yet_o have_v be_v nor_o as_o i_o conceive_v can_v be_v rational_o answer_v beside_o the_o word_n of_o glanvil_n imply_v the_o same_o and_o the_o term_n of_o bastard_n be_v for_o certain_a usual_o omit_v in_o the_o deed_n and_o history_n of_o those_o time_n and_o the_o own_v they_o for_o daughter_n in_o their_o deed_n possible_o that_o the_o land_n may_v pass_v to_o their_o

well_o as_o they_o have_v to_o the_o two_o bar_n which_o sir_n thomas_n manwaringe_v of_o warmincham_n do_v bear_v but_o here_o be_v the_o herald_n error_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v by_o he_o to_o manwaringe_v of_o pever_n now_o in_o these_o late_a age_n as_o his_o most_o proper_a coat_n whereas_o ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o say_a sir_n roger_n manwaringe_n as_o well_o the_o heir_n of_o the_o right_a line_n as_o also_o the_o manwaring_n of_o pever_n after_o they_o become_v next_o heir-male_a have_v constant_o bear_v the_o two_o bar_n for_o some_o hundred_o of_o year_n without_o alteration_n successive_o and_o not_o the_o six_o barrulet_n at_o all_o till_o this_o change_n of_o the_o herald_n in_o queen_n elizabeth_n time_n why_o now_o though_o the_o posterity_n of_o sir_n roger_n may_v have_v continue_v the_o right_n of_o six_o barrulet_n yet_o they_o change_v the_o same_o to_o two_o bar_n which_o after_o so_o many_o age_n have_v now_o gain_v a_o hereditary_a

time_n downward_o do_v bear_v the_o coat_n of_o their_o ancestor_n as_o it_o be_v hereditary_o and_o here_o be_v the_o absurdity_n that_o the_o herald_n alter_v the_o coat_n again_o to_o six_o barrulet_n after_o so_o many_o age_n past_a when_o the_o two_o bar_n have_v be_v so_o long_o retain_v as_o a_o hereditary_a right_n for_o let_v any_o man_n but_o imagine_v what_o confusion_n change_n
