to_o be_v set_v aside_o by_o this_o will._n i_o have_v nothing_o further_a to_o consider_v in_o this_o case_n nor_o be_v we_o to_o make_v presumption_n and_o then_o to_o make_v inference_n from_o

87_o with_o the_o solemnity_n both_o of_o prepare_v and_o execute_v it_o and_o do_v complain_v that_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n set_v up_o another_o will_n and_o a_o deed_n in_o 75_o and_o 81_o whereby_o he_o seek_v to_o frustrate_v the_o disposition_n of_o the_o duke_n estate_n by_o the_o will_n of_o 87._o and_o the_o bill_n do_v allege_v that_o if_o any_o such_o deed_n be_v ever_o

in_o equity_n i_o agree_v likewise_o that_o in_o case_n of_o disability_n a_o court_n of_o equity_n may_v interpose_v and_o i_o agree_v therefore_o that_o in_o case_n the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n

indeed_o the_o counsel_n on_o the_o other_o side_n do_v seem_v to_o speak_v a_o little_a slight_o of_o it_o as_o upon_o a_o doubtful_a evidence_n and_o at_o last_o that_o it_o be_v true_a by_o this_o

claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 81_o and_o i_o think_v there_o aught_o to_o be_v no_o relief_n but_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 81_o have_v a_o good_a title_n in_o equity_n as_o

that_o claim_v by_o the_o will_n of_o 87_o and_o whether_o upon_o that_o account_n there_o can_v be_v any_o equity_n raise_v in_o this_o cause_n and_o four_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o person_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n and_o the_o particular_a circumstance_n he_o be_v under_o at_o the_o time_n of_o make_v this_o will_n in_o 87_o and_o whether_o by_o reason_n of_o he_o from_o who_o the_o

upon_o the_o frame_n and_o manner_n of_o this_o deed_n there_o be_v any_o ground_n of_o equity_n for_o the_o plaintiff_n against_o it_o there_o be_v several_a thing_n under_o this_o head_n that_o be_v

it_o be_v make_v to_o confirm_v a_o will_n and_o therefore_o shall_v be_v revocable_a in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n as_o a_o will_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o court_n of_o law_n second_o that_o it_o

disposition_n different_a from_o those_o in_o the_o will_n which_o it_o pretend_v to_o confirm_v now_o for_o the_o first_o to_o maintain_v that_o when_o a_o deed_n recite_v a_o will_n and_o do_v say_v 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 motion_n that_o i_o never_o hear_v start_v before_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v with_o the_o proceed_n and_o practice_n in_o court_n of_o equity_n that_o may_v make_v it_o so_o strange_a to_o i_o it_o have_v be_v labour_v with_o no_o small_a apprehend_v clearness_n at_o the_o bar._n therefore_o for_o that_o i_o
so_o you_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v at_o all_o surprise_v therein_o but_o that_o when_o it_o be_v execute_v it_o be_v according_a to_o that_o design_n and_o purpose_n next_o sir_n

roberts_n son_n to_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o radnor_n marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o mr._n bodmin_n bodmin_n have_v make_v a_o will_n and_o give_v his_o land_n to_o the_o child_n of_o his_o daughter_n
