will_v put_v the_o case_n upon_o a_o like_a bottom_n of_o presumption_n the_o other_o way_n and_o then_o see_v what_o we_o shall_v make_v of_o it_o duke_n george_n prevail_v with_o king_n charles_n

that_o the_o duke_n call_v he_o cousin_n now_o after_o all_o this_o that_o the_o duke_n shall_v make_v this_o last_o will_n and_o give_v all_o this_o estate_n to_o a_o stranger_n for_o so_o as_o to_o any_o thing_n appear_v in_o proof_n and_o give_v nothing_o to_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n when_o by_o the_o former_a settlement_n he_o have_v give_v he_o such_o hope_n of_o so_o great_a a_o share_n this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a unaccountable_a thing_n and_o i_o confess_v i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o extricate_v myself_o out_o of_o the_o confusion_n it_o cause_v in_o i_o but_o i_o must_v set_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o as_o to_o that_o objection_n and_o leave_v the_o matter_n in_o the_o dark_a as_o to_o the_o duke_n honour_n as_o i_o find_v it_o though_o i_o think_v i_o may_v give_v a_o further_a answer_n to_o this_o objection_n under_o the_o second_o head_n but_o i_o must_v speak_v something_o more_o under_o this_o for_o i_o will_v omit_v nothing_o that_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v material_a in_o the_o case_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n object_v that_o seem_v dark_a in_o this_o case_n and_o that_o be_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o some_o parchment_n that_o be_v ingross_v by_o thompson_n the_o summer_n before_o the_o duke_n go_v to_o jamaica_n the_o jury_n have_v find_v that_o this_o deed_n be_v execute_v in_o 81._o and_o if_o than_o the_o other_o side_n will_v make_v use_n of_o this_o as_o insinuate_v that_o they_o be_v the_o same_o deed_n then_o that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v as_o be_v express_o against_o the_o verdict_n but_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v that_o these_o deed_n in_o 87._o be_v make_v upon_o some_o design_n to_o have_v they_o execute_v then_o perhaps_o to_o settle_v the_o estate_n upon_o a_o firm_a foot_n than_o it_o be_v think_v before_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n perhaps_o may_v be_v jealous_a that_o the_o duchess_n may_v prevail_v upon_o the_o duke_n to_o revoke_v the_o former_a deed_n in_o due_a form_n and_o therefore_o these_o deed_n may_v be_v prepare_v absolute_o without_o any_o power_n of_o revocation_n and_o think_v he_o may_v procure_v the_o duke_n to_o seal_v they_o so_o before_o he_o go_v to_o jamaica_n i_o say_v that_o may_v be_v the_o intention_n though_o what_o be_v the_o design_n i_o can_v real_o tell_v but_o admit_v that_o such_o write_n be_v prepare_v with_o such_o a_o design_n to_o get_v the_o duke_n to_o execute_v they_o i_o know_v not_o that_o all_o this_o put_v together_o will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a ground_n in_o equity_n to_o set_v aside_o the_o deed_n of_o 81._o for_o all_o design_n in_o gain_v of_o deed_n will_v not_o avoid_v deed_n actual_o make_v and_o that_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o case_n of_o bodmin_n and_o roberts_n that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o precedent_n

notwithstanding_o this_o great_a fondness_n of_o his_o daughter_n one_o mr._n wynne_n take_v a_o opportunity_n when_o mr._n bodmin_n be_v under_o a_o arrest_n and_o officious_o come_v to_o bail_v he_o

he_o give_v his_o estate_n to_o his_o daughter_n it_o happen_v during_o his_o be_v thus_o secure_v he_o fall_v sick_a then_o there_o be_v a_o will_n prepare_v for_o he_o to_o give_v this_o estate_n away_o to_o wynne_n from_o his_o only_a daughter_n they_o get_v three_o witness_n to_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o this_o will_n be_v never_o read_v over_o to_o he_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o proof_n

to_o set_v aside_o this_o will_n in_o this_o court_n and_o afterward_o when_o they_o come_v into_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o it_o end_v at_o last_o in_o relief_n by_o the_o legislative_a power_n a_o act_n of_o parliament_n this_o now_o i_o take_v to_o be_v much_o strong_a for_o relief_n if_o any_o can_v be_v than_o the_o case_n now_o in_o question_n and_o if_o then_o upon_o such_o apparent_a surprise_n and_o practise_v it_o can_v not_o be_v set_v aside_o in_o equity_n sure_o this_o can_v where_o there_o do_v appear_v no_o proof_n at_o all_o of_o any_o such_o thing_n i_o come_v then_o to_o consider_v the_o second_o head_n of_o argument_n against_o this_o deed_n that_o it_o be_v a_o conceal_a and_o forget_v deed._n now_o that_o it_o be_v conceal_v from_o the_o duchess_n and_o those_o that_o be_v think_v her_o agent_n i_o agree_v it_o so_o and_o it_o be_v plain_a it_o be_v always_o intend_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o that_o it_o be_v conceal_v from_o the_o duke_n i_o think_v have_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o the_o thing_n they_o will_v infer_v it_o from_o be_v the_o evidence_n of_o aleman_n who_o testimony_n be_v read_v once_o and_o again_o and_o he_o say_v this_o deed_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n whence_o they_o infer_v he_o carry_v it_o away_o and_o keep_v it_o conceal_v from_o the_o duke_n who_o forget_v it_o but_o upon_o review_v aleman_n deposition_n it_o can_v be_v understand_v to_o mean_v no_o other_o but_o only_o deliver_v to_o that_o effect_n as_o a_o deed_n to_o his_o use_n but_o not_o that_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o he_o for_o custody_n and_o carry_v away_o by_o he_o no_o true_o it_o seem_v plain_a to_o i_o from_o all_o the_o proof_n and_o circumstance_n of_o the_o case_n that_o this_o deed_n do_v remain_v in_o the_o custody_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n for_o that_o sir_n thomas_n stringer_n a_o little_a before_o the_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 thomas_n stringer_n who_o be_v the_o duke_n counsel_n to_o peruse_v and_o amend_v the_o draught_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o own_o hand_n swear_v by_o his_o son_n and_o his_o man._n to_o imagine_v then_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v surprise_v into_o the_o make_n of_o a_o deed_n when_o his_o own_o constant_a counsel_n do_v peruse_v and_o amend_v the_o draught_n and_o the_o counsel_n he_o use_v particular_o to_o advise_v with_o be_v by_o at_o the_o execution_n and_o a_o witness_n to_o it_o be_v to_o say_v a_o man_n be_v surprise_v when_o he_o have_v the_o advice_n of_o counsel_n about_o it_o and_o they_o be_v at_o his_o elbow_n at_o the_o execute_n of_o it_o now_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o to_o seek_v and_o do_v not_o well_o know_v what_o be_v a_o fraud_n in_o equity_n that_o shall_v avoid_v a_o deed_n which_o be_v a_o good_a deed_n at_o law_n the_o case_n of_o bodmin_n and_o wynne_n and_o roberts_n mention_v by_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n and_o my_o bother_n powell_n that_o speak_v the_o last_o day_n this_o cause_n come_v on_o be_v i_o think_v a_o case_n of_o great_a authority_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n because_o it_o have_v a_o great_a transaction_n both_o in_o this_o court_n and_o in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n before_o it_o come_v to_o a_o resolution_n and_o result_n i_o shall_v put_v the_o case_n in_o short_a as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o court_n mr._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 in_o tail_n and_o after_o this_o he_o make_v another_o will_n whereby_o he_o give_v one_o part_n of_o that_o estate_n to_o mr._n wynne_n and_o another_o part_n to_o a_o remote_a kinsman_n it_o do_v most_o plain_o appear_v in_o the_o deposition_n of_o this_o case_n that_o this_o will_n be_v obtain_v by_o great_a fraud_n and_o circumvention_n that_o be_v wynne_n get_v into_o his_o acquaintance_n by_o pretence_n of_o some_o little_a office_n of_o friendship_n and_o kindness_n he_o get_v he_o away_o from_o his_o friend_n and_o relation_n and_o during_o his_o sickness_n he_o do_v by_o false_a story_n withdraw_v his_o affection_n from_o his_o daughter_n keep_v he_o in_o secret_a place_n that_o no_o friend_n may_v come_v at_o he_o and_o while_o he_o be_v so_o secrete_v and_o wrought_v upon_o be_v this_o last_o will_n make_v whereby_o he_o give_v his_o estate_n away_o from_o his_o child_n to_o a_o stranger_n all_o these_o piece_n of_o practice_n be_v apparent_a before_o the_o court_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o this_o cause_n which_o be_v hear_v by_o my_o lord_n clarendon_n assist_v by_o who_o all_o unanimous_o declare_v that_o this_o be_v a_o will_n obtain_v by_o fraud_n and_o by_o practice_n and_o that_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n if_o they_o can_v to_o relieve_v against_o it_o but_o they_o search_v precedent_n and_o can_v find_v none_o that_o will_v come_v up_o to_o the_o case_n thereupon_o for_o difficulty_n there_o be_v advice_n take_v about_o it_o in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o there_o upon_o consideration_n be_v a_o order_n make_v by_o way_n of_o advice_n to_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n that_o he_o shall_v proceed_v to_o do_v justice_n to_o either_o party_n though_o there_o be_v no_o precedent_n find_v to_o govern_v the_o judgement_n afterward_o this_o cause_n come_v to_o be_v hear_v again_o 12_o june_n 1666_o when_o my_o lord_n chancellor_n be_v assist_v by_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n bridgman_n my_o lord_n chief_a baron_n hales_n and_o mr._n

of_o the_o heir_n at_o law_n who_o have_v never_o offend_v or_o give_v he_o any_o cause_n to_o disinherit_v she_o so_o the_o will_n be_v dismiss_v but_o the_o party_n complain_v in_o parliament_n be_v

find_v none_o this_o be_v so_o great_a a_o authority_n and_o do_v show_v the_o wariness_n of_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n that_o i_o think_v none_o can_v be_v great_a equity_n will_v not_o relieve_v they_o but_o they_o be_v put_v to_o seek_v their_o relief_n by_o a_o law_n make_v on_o purpose_n but_o i_o will_v suppose_v now_o in_o this_o case_n that_o when_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n do_v
