A51562	A reply to an answer to the Defence of Amicia, daughter of Hugh Cyveliok, Earl of Chester wherein it is proved, that the reasons alleadged by Sir Peter Leicester, in his former book, and also in his said answer, concerning the illegitimacy of the said Amicia, are invalid, and of no weight at all / by Sir Thomas Mainwaring ...

judge_n there_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o person_n belong_v to_o the_o then_o earl_n except_o john_n lacie_n constable_n of_o chester_n who_o be_v not_o make_v earl_n of_o lincoln_n as_o

last_o of_o the_o say_a earl_n yet_o there_o be_v ever_o ancient_o person_n of_o good_a quality_n that_o be_v judge_n of_o chester_n and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v always_o a_o place_n of_o great_a

21_o page_n of_o your_o answer_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v though_o you_o affirm_v it_o can_v never_o be_v prove_v but_o that_o i_o have_v already_o in_o my_o former_a book_n give_v most_o person_n satisfaction_n that_o amicia_n be_v of_o the_o half-blood_n to_o earl_n randle_n by_o a_o former_a wife_n of_o earl_n hugh_n and_o whereas_o you_o object_n that_o it_o be_v more_o rational_a to_o imagine_v that_o earl_n hugh_n match_v his_o only_a daughter_n which_o he_o have_v by_o a_o former_a wife_n will_v have_v marry_v she_o to_o as_o considerable_a a_o person_n as_o be_v either_o provide_v by_o himself_o or_o his_o son_n for_o his_o young_a child_n by_o a_o second_o venture_n i_o do_v answer_n and_o say_v that_o i_o be_o not_o certain_a whether_o amicia_n be_v the_o only_a daughter_n that_o earl_n hugh_n have_v by_o his_o former_a wife_n because_o i_o know_v some_o that_o pretend_v they_o can_v tell_v of_o some_o other_o daughter_n or_o daughter_n which_o the_o say_a earl_n hugh_n have_v by_o his_o say_a wife_n but_o i_o do_v confess_v i_o have_v never_o see_v just_a proof_n of_o any_o but_o she_o but_o suppose_v she_o to_o be_v the_o only_a child_n by_o his_o first_o wife_n i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a book_n pa._n 23_o 24_o and_o 25._o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n in_o this_o argument_n of_o you_o and_o i_o may_v here_o further_o add_v that_o if_o you_o will_v search_v for_o example_n you_o may_v find_v very_o many_o where_o the_o elder_a sister_n sometime_o because_o sway_v by_o their_o affection_n and_o sometime_o for_o other_o reason_n have_v not_o be_v marry_v to_o so_o great_a person_n as_o the_o young_a sister_n have_v be_v neither_o can_v you_o tell_v what_o portion_n earl_n hugh_n give_v to_o amicia_n or_o to_o any_o of_o his_o other_o daughter_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o necessity_n that_o the_o elder_a sister_n because_o by_o a_o former_a wife_n must_v have_v as_o great_a a_o portion_n as_o a_o young_a sister_n by_o a_o latter_a wife_n because_o many_o time_n person_n be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v so_o great_a portion_n in_o their_o young_a day_n as_o afterward_o and_o because_o the_o child_n of_o the_o live_a wife_n be_v oftentimes_o better_o provide_v for_o than_o those_o of_o the_o dead_a wife_n and_o of_o this_o i_o can_v if_o i_o please_v instance_n in_o some_o that_o i_o know_v and_o in_o case_n the_o father_n die_v and_o leave_v only_a issue_n female_a by_o a_o first_o and_o a_o son_n and_o issue_n female_a by_o a_o latter_a wife_n as_o in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v great_a likelihood_n beside_o the_o advantage_n that_o the_o sister_n by_o the_o latter_a wife_n will_v have_v by_o be_v heir_n at_o law_n to_o their_o brother_n he_o die_v without_o issue_n that_o the_o brother_n will_v natural_o be_v more_o kind_a to_o those_o sister_n that_o be_v of_o the_o whole-blood_n and_o about_o the_o same_o age_n and_o breed_v up_o with_o he_o than_o he_o will_v be_v to_o she_o that_o be_v but_o his_o half-sister_n and_o much_o old_a than_o himself_o and_o whereas_o you_o say_v pa._n 18_o and_o 19_o that_o the_o expectation_n of_o earl_n randle_n blundevile_n sister_n of_o the_o whole_a blood_n which_o i_o conceive_v add_v to_o their_o fortune_n whereby_o they_o match_v to_o so_o great_a person_n can_v not_o be_v much_o be_v ground_v upon_o great_a uncertainty_n since_o it_o can_v not_o be_v foresee_v when_o they_o marry_v that_o their_o brother_n shall_v die_v without_o issue_n who_o afterward_o marry_v two_o wife_n successive_o purposely_o to_o have_v

that_o i_o be_v the_o only_a person_n who_o inform_v you_o thereof_o i_o must_v impute_v it_o to_o the_o weakness_n of_o your_o memory_n which_o fail_v you_o in_o this_o particular_a for_o you_o
