that_o if_o these_o two_o realm_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n be_v unite_v under_o one_o law_n and_o one_o parliament_n and_o thereby_o incorporate_v and_o make_v as_o one_o kingdom_n that_o the_o

upon_o that_o which_o be_v several_a have_v be_v and_o must_v be_v the_o depth_n of_o this_o question_n and_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n do_v see_v the_o state_n of_o this_o question_n do_v

which_o be_v currant_n not_o only_o by_o the_o stamp_n because_o they_o be_v so_o receive_v but_o by_o the_o natural_a metal_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n and_o wisdom_n of_o they_o and_o master_n littleton_n himself_o in_o his_o whole_a book_n do_v commend_v but_o two_o thing_n to_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o law_n by_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n the_o one_o the_o inquire_v and_o search_v out_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o other_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o form_n of_o plead_n and_o never_o be_v there_o any_o case_n that_o come_v in_o judgement_n that_o require_v more_o that_o littleton_n advice_n shall_v be_v follow_v in_o those_o two_o point_n than_o do_v the_o present_a case_n in_o question_n and_o first_o of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o other_o commonwealth_n monarchy_n only_o except_v do_v snbsi_v by_o a_o law_n precedent_n for_o where_o authority_n be_v divide_v among_o many_o officer_n and_o they_o not_o perpetual_a but_o annual_a or_o temporary_a and_o not_o to_o receive_v their_o authority_n but_o by_o election_n and_o certain_a person_n to_o have_v voice_n only_o to_o that_o election_n and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v busy_a and_o curious_a frame_n which_o of_o necessity_n do_v presuppose_v a_o law_n precedent_n write_v or_o unwritten_a to_o guide_v and_o direct_v they_o but_o in_o monarchy_n especial_o hereditary_a that_o be_v when_o
the_o minor_a proposition_n be_v false_a that_o be_v that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v not_o superinduce_v upon_o any_o country_n by_o conquest_n but_o that_o the_o old_a law_n remain_v until_o the_o king_n by_o his_o proclamation_n or_o letter_n patent_n declare_v other_o law_n and_o then_o if_o he_o will_v he_o may_v declare_v law_n which_o be_v utter_o repugnant_a and_o differ_v from_o the_o law_n of_o england_n and_o hereof_o many_o ancient_a precedent_n and_o record_n may_v be_v show_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o ireland_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v not_o ipso_fw-la jure_fw-la upon_o conquest_n but_o grow_v by_o acharter_n of_o k._n john_n and_o that_o extend_v but_o to_o so_o much_o as_o be_v then_o in_o the_o king_n possession_n for_o there_o arerecord_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n s._n 1_o and_o 2_o of_o divers_a particular_a grant_n to_o sundry_a subject_n of_o ireland_n and_o their_o heir_n that_o they_o may_v use_v and_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o england_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o politic_a necessity_n of_o intermixture_n of_o people_n in_o case_n of_o subjection_n by_o conquest_n to_o remove_v alienation_n of_o mind_n and_o to_o securo_fw-la the_o stato_fw-it which_o hold_v not_o in_o case_n of_o descent_n here_o i_o perceive_v mr._n 〈◊〉_d have_v read_v somewhat_o in_o matter_n of_o state_n and_o so_o have_v i_o likewise_o though_o we_o may_v both_o quick_o lose_v ourselves_o in_o cause_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o find_v by_o the_o best_a opinion_n that_o there_o be_v two_o mean_n to_o assure_v and_o retain_v in_o obedience_n country_n conquer_v both_o very_o differ_v almost_o in_o extreme_n the_o one_o towards_o the_o other_o the_o one_o be_v by_o colony_n and_o intermixture_n of_o people_n and_o transplantation_n of_o family_n which_o mr._n walter_n speak_v off_o and_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o roman_a manner_n but_o this_o be_v like_o a_o old_a relic_n much_o reverence_v and_o almost_o never_o use_v but_o other_o which_o be_v the_o modern_a manner_n and_o almost_o whole_o in_o practice_n and_o use_n be_v by_o garrison_n and_o citadelle_n and_o list_n or_o company_n of_o man_n of_o war_n and_o other_o like_a matter_n of_o terror_n and_o bridle_n to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o be_v little_o use_v it_o it_o true_a that_o naturalisation_n do_v conduce_v but_o to_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v utter_o opposite_a as_o put_v too_o great_a pride_n and_o mean_n to_o do_v hurt_v in_o those_o that_o be_v mean_v to_o be_v keep_v short_a and_o low_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o very_a first_o case_n of_o the_o roman_a proceed_v naturalisation_n do_v never_o follow_v by_o conquest_n during_o all_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n but_o be_v ever_o confer_v by_o charter_n or_o donation_n sometime_o to_o city_n and_o town_n sometime_o to_o particular_a person_n and_o sometime_o to_o nation_n until_o the_o time_n of_o adrian_n the_o emperor_n and_o the_o law_n in_o orb_n romano_fw-la and_o that_o law_n or_o constitution_n be_v not_o refer_v to_o title_n of_o conquest_n and_o arm_n only_o but_o to_o all_o other_o title_n as_o by_o the_o donation_n and_o testament_n of_o king_n by_o submission_n and_o dedition_n of_o state_n or_o the_o like_a so_o as_o this_o difference_n be_v as_o strange_a to_o they_o as_o to_o we_o and_o certain_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v sound_v strange_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o foreign_a nation_n that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n shall_v ipso_fw-la sacto_fw-la naturalize_v subject_n of_o conquest_n and_o shall_v not_o naturalize_v subject_n which_o grow_v unto_o the_o king_n by_o descent_n that_o be_v that_o it_o shall_v confer_v the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n of_o naturalisation_n upon_o such_o as_o can_v at_o the_o first_o but_o bear_v hatred_n and_o rancour_n to_o the_o state_n of_o england_n and_o have_v have_v their_o hand_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o england_n and_o shall_v deny_v the_o like_a benefit_n to_o those_o that_o be_v conjoin_v with_o they_o by_o a_o more_o amiable_a mean_n and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n shall_v confer_v naturalisation_n upon_o slave_n and_o vassal_n for_o people_n conquer_v be_v no_o better_a in_o the_o beginning_n and_o shall_v deny_v it_o to_o freeman_n i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v marvel_v at_o abroad_o of_o what_o complexion_n the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v make_v that_o breed_v such_o difference_n but_o there_o be_v little_a danger_n of_o such_o scandal_n for_o this_o be_v a_o difference_n that_o the_o law_n of_o england_n never_o know_v the_o four_o reason_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v that_o in_o case_n of_o conquest_n the_o territory_n unite_z can_v never_o be_v separate_v again_o but_o in_o case_n of_o descent_n there_o be_v a_o possibility_n if_o his_o majesty_n line_n shall_v fail_v the_o kingdom_n may_v severe_a again_o to_o their_o respective_a heir_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o 8._o h._n 6._o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o land_n descend_v to_o a_o man_n from_o the_o ancestor_n on_o the_o part_n of_o his_o father_n and_o a_o rent_n issue_v out_o of_o it_o from_o a_o ancestor_n on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o mother_n if_o the_o party_n die_v without_o issue_n the_o rent_n be_v revive_v as_o to_o this_o reason_n i_o know_v well_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o king_n line_n be_v no_o less_o dear_a to_o those_o that_o allege_v the_o reason_n then_o to_o we_o that_o confute_v it_o so_o as_o i_o do_v not_o blame_v the_o pass_n of_o the_o reason_n but_o it_o be_v answer_v with_o no_o great_a difficulty_n for_o first_o the_o law_n do_v never_o respect_v remote_a and_o foreign_a possibility_n as_o notable_o appear_v in_o the_o great_a case_n between_o sir_n hugh_n cholmley_n and_o houlford_n in_o the_o exchequer_n where_o one_o in_o the_o remainder_n to_o the_o end_n to_o bridle_v tenant_n in_o tail_n from_o suffer_v a_o common_a recovery_n grant_v his_o remainder_n to_o the_o king_n and_o because_o he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v it_o out_o again_o without_o charge_n or_o trouble_v when_o his_o turn_n be_v serve_v he_o limit_v it_o to_o the_o king_n during_o the_o life_n of_o tenant_n in_o tail_n question_n grow_v whether_o this_o grant_n of_o remainder_n be_v good_a yea_o or_o no_o and_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v frivolous_a and_o void_a because_o it_o can_v never_o by_o any_o possibility_n execute_v for_o tenant_n in_o tail_n can_v surrender_v and_o if_o he_o die_v the_o remainder_n likewise_o cease_v to_o which_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n that_o it_o may_v execute_v which_o be_v thus_o put_v case_n that_o tenant_n in_o tail_n shall_v enter_v into_o religion_n have_v no_o issue_n then_o the_o remainder_n shall_v execute_v and_o the_o king_n shall_v hold_v the_o land_n during_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o tenant_n in_o tail_n notwithstanding_o his_o civil_a death_n but_o the_o court_n una_fw-la vate_fw-la explode_v this_o reason_n and_o say_v that_o monastery_n be_v down_o and_o entry_n into_o religion_n go_v and_o they_o must_v be_v up_o again_o ere_o this_o can_v be_v and_o that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o respect_v such_o remote_a and_o foreign_a possibility_n and_o so_o we_o may_v hold_v this_o for_o the_o like_a for_o i_o think_v we_o all_o hope_n that_o neither_o of_o those_o day_n shall_v ever_o come_v either_o for_o monastery_n to_o be_v restore_v or_o for_o the_o k._n line_n to_o fail_v but_o the_o true_a answer_n be_v that_o the_o possibility_n subsequent_a remote_a or_o not_o remote_a do_v not_o alter_v the_o operation_n of_o law_n for_o the_o present_a for_o that_o shall_v be_v as_o if_o in_o case_n of_o the_o rent_n which_o you_o put_v you_o shall_v say_v that_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o rent_n be_v sever_v it_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o esse_fw-la in_o the_o mean_a time_n and_o shall_v be_v grantable_a which_o be_v clear_o otherwise_o and_o so_o in_o the_o principal_a case_z if_o that_o shall_v be_v which_o god_n of_o his_o goodness_n forbid_v cessante_fw-la causa_fw-la cessat_fw-la effectus_fw-la the_o benefit_n of_o naturalisation_n for_o the_o

but_o a_o devise_n full_a of_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o naturalise_v subject_n by_o descent_n and_o subject_n by_o conquest_n and_o that_o be_v the_o union_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o 〈◊〉_d of_o scotland_n be_v as_o clear_v as_o that_o of_o ireland_n and_o they_o that_o grant_v the_o
