reason_n for_o the_o earl_n of_o maclesfeld_n bill_n in_o parliament_n for_o dissolve_v the_o marriage_n between_o he_o and_o his_o wife_n and_o illegitimate_v her_o spurious_a issue_n the_o bill_n by_o way_n of_o petition_n according_a to_o the_o usual_a form_n in_o like_a case_n recite_v the_o lady_n notorious_a open_a adultery_n have_v have_v child_n beget_v on_o her_o body_n in_o adultery_n and_o use_v vile_a practice_n to_o have_v her_o spurious_a issue_n impose_v and_o obtrude_v upon_o he_o therefore_o it_o enact_v and_o adjudge_n that_o the_o bond_n of_o marriage_n be_v notorious_o and_o scandalous_o violate_v by_o her_o adultery_n be_v from_o henceforth_o dissolve_v annul_v vacate_v and_o make_v void_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o the_o earl_n to_o marry_v again_o and_o that_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o any_o other_o marriage_n shall_v enjoy_v all_o advantage_n as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v marry_v to_o this_o lady_n or_o that_o she_o have_v no_o issue_n it_o illegitimate_v and_o disinherit_v the_o issue_n beget_v or_o to_o be_v beget_v on_o her_o body_n and_o enact_n that_o all_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o earl_n and_o of_o his_o father_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o same_o plight_n and_o condition_n and_o person_n inheritable_a to_o it_o as_o if_o she_o have_v no_o child_n preserve_v the_o settlement_n of_o the_o estate_n which_o move_v from_o the_o earl_n father_n in_o all_o the_o limitation_n other_o than_o to_o she_o and_o her_o issue_n as_o to_o the_o estate_n which_o come_v from_o her_o father_n give_v she_o what_o she_o have_v by_o the_o settlement_n in_o bishops-castle_n during_o the_o earl_n life_n or_o after_o his_o death_n so_o that_o it_o extend_v not_o beyond_o she_o own_o life_n as_o to_o sutton_n preserve_v all_o the_o interest_n after_o the_o earl_n death_n without_o restriction_n for_o bishop_n castle_n estate_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o this_o which_o be_v value_v at_o 10000_o l._n with_o 2000_o pay_v be_v to_o be_v as_o a_o marriage_n portion_n and_o therefore_o be_v settle_v in_o the_o earl_n family_n with_o the_o remainder_n to_o his_o right_a heir_n indeed_o she_o have_v her_o life_n in_o it_o by_o way_n of_o jointure_n but_o as_o jointure_n come_v in_o lieu_n of_o dower_n according_a to_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o common-law_n she_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v so_o much_o as_o her_o life_n in_o it_o for_o dower_n be_v forfeit_v by_o adultery_n and_o this_o may_v be_v plead_v by_o the_o heir_n though_o never_o prove_v in_o any_o court_n during_o the_o father_n life_n agreeable_o to_o which_o even_o doctors-common_n take_v away_o alimony_n after_o proof_n of_o adultery_n but_o sure_o there_o can_v be_v no_o colour_n that_o her_o adultery_n and_o the_o just_a consequent_a of_o that_o shall_v deprive_v the_o earl_n brother_n of_o what_o he_o claim_v in_o remainder_n by_o the_o settlement_n the_o earl_n of_o maclesfeld_n bill_n have_v be_v read_v in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o leave_v give_v for_o he_o to_o make_v good_a the_o allegation_n of_o his_o bill_n she_o have_v petition_v to_o be_v hear_v against_o their_o lordship_n hear_v his_o proof_n upon_o the_o suggestion_n that_o the_o same_o matter_n be_v contain_v in_o his_o libel_n in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n and_o that_o they_o be_v proper_o determinable_a there_o upon_o which_o these_o particular_n be_v humble_o submit_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o their_o lordship_n 1._o that_o a_o order_n be_v make_v in_o a_o full_a house_n for_o admit_v his_o lordship_n to_o make_v out_o his_o allegation_n 2._o the_o pendency_n of_o a_o suit_n in_o doctor_n commons_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n against_o proceed_n in_o parliament_n unless_o they_o be_v judicial_o by_o way_n of_o original_a cause_n 3._o if_o this_o come_v by_o way_n of_o appeal_n from_o doctor_n commons_o before_o sentence_n than_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o original_a cause_n but_o if_o either_o party_n be_v aggrieve_v by_o sentence_n in_o doctor_n commons_o it_o have_v be_v hold_v that_o no_o appeal_n in_o parliament_n will_v lie_v but_o that_o the_o final_a judgement_n be_v with_o commissioner_n appoint_v by_o the_o king_n or_o chancellor_n which_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o if_o the_o parliament_n can_v relieve_v by_o the_o legislative_a power_n it_o be_v certain_a it_o can_v judicial_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o inference_n from_o its_o be_v as_o ecclesiastical_a cause_n there_o can_v be_v no_o relief_n 4._o the_o matter_n be_v not_o whole_o of_o ecclesiastical_a cognizance_n for_o only_o the_o parliament_n can_v illegitimate_a the_o issue_n 5._o the_o earl_n be_v in_o reason_n to_o be_v think_v to_o stand_v better_o for_o relief_n in_o parliament_n than_o if_o he_o have_v never_o proceed_v in_o doctor_n commons_o have_v go_v through_o all_o the_o tedious_a method_n of_o that_o court_n for_o prove_v his_o lady_n adultery_n where_o publication_n have_v pass_v and_o as_o many_o of_o his_o witness_n have_v be_v cross-examined_a as_o she_o have_v think_v fit_a 6._o nothing_o can_v have_v hinder_v a_o sentence_n but_o such_o gross_a delay_n as_o argue_v her_o gild_n nor_o ought_v she_o own_o fault_n to_o serve_v she_o for_o a_o exception_n 7._o a_o sentence_n in_o doctor_n commons_o can_v add_v to_o the_o clearness_n of_o the_o proof_n or_o credibility_n of_o the_o witness_n which_o she_o have_v decline_v examine_v to_o 8._o she_o have_v declare_v that_o she_o will_v use_v delay_n on_o purpose_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o remedy_n in_o parliament_n and_o her_o agent_n have_v declare_v they_o will_v keep_v the_o cause_n three_o year_n in_o doctor_n commons_o 9_o if_o either_o party_n shall_v die_v before_o this_o cause_n be_v determine_v no_o sentence_n can_v be_v obtain_v in_o doctor_n commons_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v whether_o it_o will_v not_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a to_o have_v relief_n in_o parliament_n against_o her_o spurious_a issue_n if_o she_o be_v not_o alive_a to_o make_v her_o defence_n 10._o the_o earl_n have_v proof_n to_o produce_v before_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v not_o within_o his_o allegation_n at_o doctor_n commons_o and_o that_o of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o may_v show_v that_o speedy_a relief_n in_o parliament_n be_v necessary_a for_o his_o safety_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o family_n 11._o she_o have_v manifest_o wave_v those_o opportunity_n for_o clear_v herself_o which_o be_v the_o only_a ground_n why_o in_o the_o case_n of_o adultery_n after_o a_o separation_n from_o bed_n and_o board_n choose_v by_o either_o side_n the_o innocent_a party_n shall_v proceed_v in_o the_o spiritual_a court_n 12._o she_o have_v have_v several_a long_a day_n give_v she_o to_o plead_v any_o matter_n to_o clear_v herself_o and_o be_v at_o last_o just_o deny_v to_o have_v any_o far_a day_n from_o which_o it_o be_v probable_a she_o will_v appeal_v to_o spin_v out_o the_o time_n and_o however_o may_v according_a to_o the_o method_n of_o doctor_n commons_o keep_v the_o cause_n there_o several_a year_n upon_o those_o frivolous_a allegation_n which_o she_o have_v put_v in_o 13._o the_o popish_a canon_n still_o prevail_v in_o that_o court_n nothing_o but_o the_o legislative_a power_n can_v give_v the_o remedy_n allow_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n which_o permit_v second_o marriage_n whereas_o the_o popish_a canon_n allow_v of_o no_o far_a separation_n than_o have_v be_v between_o these_o party_n for_o several_a year_n 14._o if_o want_n of_o sentence_n in_o the_o spiritual_a court_n have_v be_v object_v in_o any_o other_o case_n the_o fact_n have_v not_o be_v prove_v in_o that_o court_n and_o publication_n of_o the_o proof_n pass_v beside_o there_o have_v be_v no_o proof_n of_o child_n offer_v in_o parliament_n and_o either_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o fact_n have_v be_v doubtful_a or_o there_o have_v be_v cohabitation_n or_o reconciliation_n after_o the_o innocent_a party_n have_v have_v notice_n of_o the_o fact_n 15._o a_o sentence_n in_o doctor_n commons_o be_v not_o final_a or_o certain_a but_o subject_a to_o a_o appeal_n before_o the_o delegate_n and_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o banbury_n the_o delegate_n set_v aside_o a_o marriage_n which_o the_o court_n of_o the_o arch_n hold_v good_a 16._o the_o legislative_a power_n be_v not_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n confineable_a to_o any_o ecclesiastical_a rule_n or_o law_n and_o have_v set_v several_a good_a precedent_n of_o break_v through_o they_o the_o deprivation_n of_o bishop_n be_v of_o ecclesiastical_a cognizance_n their_o institution_n hold_v as_o sacred_a as_o matrimony_n and_o yet_o in_o popish_a time_n bishop_n have_v be_v deprive_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n without_o sentence_n in_o any_o ecclesiastical_a court_n and_o for_o matter_n for_o which_o they_o be_v not_o depriveable_a by_o any_o ecclesiastical_a law_n and_o
