to_o that_o other_o beside_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v as_o i_o remember_v for_o it_o be_v some_o time_n since_o this_o cause_n be_v hear_v that_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n do_v know_v to_o what_o

of_o the_o deed_n it_o be_v deliver_v to_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n yet_o that_o be_v only_o for_o the_o due_a execution_n as_o a_o deed_n for_o my_o lord_n in_o his_o answer_n say_v he_o know_v not_o

reason_n to_o induce_v the_o belief_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o duke_n be_v own_o custody_n then_o as_o to_o the_o objection_n of_o secrecy_n it_o be_v keep_v secret_a all-along_a and_o no_o body_n

because_o it_o be_v keep_v secret_a be_v set_v aside_o in_o equity_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v keep_v secret_a and_o that_o be_v no_o objection_n at_o all_o person_n do_v not_o usual_o intend_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v know_v how_o their_o estate_n be_v settle_v but_o say_v you_o at_o least_o here_o be_v a_o general_a presumption_n take_v all_o together_o upon_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o whole_a case_n that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o management_n in_o conceal_v of_o this_o deed._n now_o in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n shall_v presumption_n be_v sufficient_a to_o found_v a_o decree_n upon_o if_o that_o shall_v avail_v in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n according_a to_o the_o judge_n faith_n to_o presume_v a_o man_n out_o of_o his_o estate_n there_o be_v presumption_n of_o several_a sort_n some_o be_v violent_a and_o some_o probable_a a_o violent_a presumption_n that_o such_o a_o man_n have_v do_v such_o a_o fact_n must_v be_v when_o a_o fact_n be_v do_v and_o no_o other_o can_v be_v think_v of_o to_o have_v do_v it_o as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v kill_v in_o a_o room_n and_o another_o man_n come_v out_o of_o the_o room_n with_o a_o

there_o be_v some_o proof_n of_o witness_n positive_a and_o the_o presumption_n be_v probable_a that_o be_v add_v thereto_o it_o may_v be_v a_o good_a fortify_v evidence_n but_o it_o signify_v very_o little_a of_o itself_o for_o a_o foundation_n so_o that_o i_o think_v here_o be_v no_o proof_n or_o evidence_n that_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n do_v surprise_v the_o duke_n or_o that_o the_o duke_n be_v

first_o propose_v therefore_o three_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o person_n that_o be_v concern_v in_o this_o cause_n that_o be_v those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 81._o and_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o will_n of_o 87._o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 81._o be_v relation_n of_o duke_n christopher_n without_o all_o question_n my_o lord_n of_o bath_n that_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o estate_n be_v a_o very_a near_o relation_n and_o a_o person_n that_o have_v do_v many_o kindness_n for_o the_o family_n have_v be_v constant_o assistant_n to_o the_o duke_n in_o his_o business_n and_o the_o other_o be_v near_o relation_n too_o then_o for_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o will_n of_o 87._o mr._n monk_n that_o claim_v the_o main_a of_o the_o estate_n be_v indeed_o in_o the_o will_v call_v cousin_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a if_o at_o all_o he_o be_v not_o so_o near_o relate_v so_o that_o when_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n that_o claim_v by_o contrary_a voluntary_a settlement_n there_o be_v even_o a_o equality_n of_o relation_n and_o no_o difference_n of_o consideration_n much_o more_o when_o there_o be_v a_o inequality_n he_o that_o have_v the_o best_a title_n at_o law_n must_v carry_v the_o estate_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v the_o difference_n but_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o consideration_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o deed_n in_o consideration_n of_o blood_n and_o a_o after-deed_n to_o a_o purchaser_n for_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n the_o last_o shall_v take_v place_n as_o the_o best_a consideration_n but_o for_o revoke_v or_o voluntary_a settlement_n in_o favour_n of_o a_o subsequent_a one_o where_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o party_n as_o to_o the_o consideration_n i_o think_v have_v no_o ground_n in_o reason_n there_o be_v as_o much_o equity_n for_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o it_o be_v perfect_o at_o large_a and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o constant_a rule_n that_o where_o one_o party_n have_v more_o equity_n than_o the_o other_o the_o law_n must_v take_v place_n and_o that_o in_o this_o case_n be_v manifest_o for_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n by_o this_o verdict_n equity_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v it_o from_o he_o this_o principal_a be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o decree_n in_o that_o case_n of_o smith_n and_o ashton_n that_o have_v be_v likewise_o mention_v and_o urge_v before_o there_o be_v a_o power_n under_o hand_n and_o seal_n to_o be_v attest_v by_o three_o witness_n and_o to_o charge_n with_o portion_n for_o young_a child_n so_o it_o be_v a_o limit_a power_n then_o he_o make_v a_o revocation_n for_o advantage_n of_o young_a child_n but_o not_o exact_o pursuant_n to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o power_n this_o be_v hold_v good_a in_o equity_n and_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n it_o shall_v because_o a_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o provide_v for_o his_o young_a child_n and_o it_o be_v against_o all_o justice_n and_o reason_n to_o make_v such_o a_o settlement_n upon_o the_o elder_a son_n as_o to_o send_v all_o the_o other_o child_n a_o beg_v be_v under_o the_o same_o natural_a obligation_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o therefore_o because_o of_o that_o natural_a obligation_n equity_n have_v be_v indulgent_a to_o support_v such_o provision_n because_o the_o first_o settlement_n that_o disable_v he_o from_o it_o be_v wrongful_a and_o injurious_a and_o contrary_a to_o all_o equity_n and_o then_o in_o such_o case_n equity_n be_v very_o indulgent_a but_o i_o will_v put_v this_o case_n a_o man_n settle_v all_o his_o estate_n upon_o his_o young_a son_n for_o life_n with_o a_o power_n to_o revoke_v by_o deed_n seal_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o three_o witness_n without_o more_o ado_n he_o make_v his_o will_n and_o dispose_v of_o his_o estate_n to_o his_o elder_a son_n whole_o and_o that_o will_v be_v attest_v as_o put_v it_o before_o the_o statute_n by_o two_o witness_n be_v this_o a_o good_a revocation_n in_o equity_n i_o say_v no_o for_o the_o one_o be_v as_o near_o relate_v to_o the_o father_n as_o the_o other_o the_o consideration_n be_v equal_a the_o one_o be_v as_o much_o a_o son_n as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o the_o young_a son_n who_o have_v the_o estate_n by_o law_n shall_v enjoy_v it_o though_o afterward_o it_o return_v back_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o elder_a the_o four_o and_o last_o point_n be_v this_o whether_o in_o respect_n of_o duke_n christopher_n and_o those_o circumstance_n that_o attend_v he_o there_o be_v any_o reason_n to_o relieve_v against_o this_o deed_n in_o equity_n and_o here_o first_o it_o be_v say_v if_o a_o

such_o a_o owner_n still_o of_o the_o estate_n as_o that_o equity_n shall_v support_v the_o disposition_n i_o say_v no_o for_o that_o be_v to_o set_v up_o equity_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o the_o law_n for_o when_o a_o man_n have_v restrain_v himself_o by_o a_o particular_a power_n and_o have_v no_o legal_a right_o to_o dispose_v of_o this_o estate_n but_o by_o exact_o pursue_v

of_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n it_o do_v plain_o appear_v there_o be_v a_o most_o particular_a friendship_n and_o mutual_a confidence_n between_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o high_a nature_n and_o chief_a concern_v nay_o that_o this_o proceed_v so_o far_o on_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n side_n in_o duke_n george_n time_n that_o he_o prevail_v with_o king_n charles_n the_o ii_o to_o promise_v

then_o that_o this_o friendship_n do_v continue_v between_o duke_n christopher_n and_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n be_v plain_a beyond_o all_o controversy_n for_o it_o begin_v upon_o a_o very_a good_a

and_o his_o advice_n shall_v always_o be_v very_o prevalent_a with_o he_o in_o 75_o he_o tell_v he_o he_o expect_v to_o see_v he_o with_o great_a impatience_n because_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o

always_o desire_v as_o the_o will_n declare_v that_o in_o case_n he_o have_v no_o issue_n the_o earl_n may_v succeed_v he_o in_o his_o honour_n and_o estate_n as_o well_o out_o of_o true_a affection_n to_o he_o as_o his_o near_a kinsman_n on_o his_o father_n side_n as_o out_o of_o due_a gratitude_n for_o the_o many_o act_n of_o kindness_n and_o service_n do_v by_o the_o earl_n beyond_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o kindred_n and_o friend_n upon_o which_o he_o humble_o desire_v his_o majesty_n to_o confer_v the_o dukedom_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o the_o elder_a son_n of_o the_o earl_n and_o so_o

be_v word_n that_o express_v more_o kindness_n and_o respect_n and_o intention_n of_o advantage_n than_o be_v here_o use_v there_o be_v a_o attempt_n by_o proof_n in_o this_o cause_n to_o shake_v

it_o it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o at_o this_o time_n no_o man_n can_v have_v more_o kindness_n for_o another_o than_o the_o duke_n have_v for_o the_o earl_n in_o the_o year_n 78_o there_o appear_v

year_n 80._o when_o he_o send_v he_o word_n of_o a_o servant_n death_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o secure_v his_o paper_n and_o account_n thus_o it_o stand_v to_o the_o time_n of_o make_v that_o

this_o will_n but_o in_o the_o recital_n of_o it_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n from_o what_o be_v in_o the_o will_n itself_o some_o variation_n from_o it_o in_o this_o deed_n it_o be_v mention_v that_o the_o intent_n and_o design_n of_o the_o deed_n be_v to_o dispose_v of_o the_o estate_n according_a as_o be_v in_o the_o will_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v think_v strange_a that_o the_o

itself_o be_v make_v to_o confirm_v that_o will_n therefore_o this_o deed_n shall_v be_v revocable_a in_o its_o nature_n in_o equity_n as_o a_o will_n be_v at_o law_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v be_v a_o
