pleasure_n of_o almighty_a god_n concern_v the_o bestow_n of_o his_o inheritance_n but_o will_v fearful_o alter_v a_o law_n so_o everlasting_o hallow_v and_o what_o son_n perceive_v that_o his_o father_n through_o ignorance_n have_v offend_v this_o law_n and_o know_v that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o amend_v this_o fault_n but_o he_o will_v without_o fear_n and_o with_o all_o speed_n endeavour_v to_o settle_v his_o inheritance_n in_o such_o course_n as_o he_o undoubted_o know_v shall_v best_o please_v almighty_a god_n but_o lest_o i_o dwell_v too_o long_o on_o this_o point_n i_o must_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o the_o instrument_n or_o mean_n whereby_o entail_v be_v make_v which_o sometime_o impair_v sometime_o amend_v that_o which_o be_v make_v entail_v therefore_o be_v either_o accomplish_v by_o feoffment_n by_o deed_n or_o by_o testament_n feoffment_n be_v a_o gift_n or_o grant_v perform_v by_o delivery_n of_o seizin_n a_o deed_n be_v a_o instrument_n likewise_o constutitive_a convey_v some_o estate_n by_o enrolment_n a_o testament_n be_v the_o just_a sentence_n of_o the_o mind_n all_o which_o do_v agree_v in_o one_o point_n viz._n that_o our_o will_n and_o consent_n be_v the_o cause_n without_o the_o which_o not_o any_o of_o they_o can_v be_v perfect_v for_o as_o the_o testament_n be_v only_o the_o will_n of_o the_o testator_n so_o be_v neither_o a_o feoffment_n nor_o deed_n worth_a aught_o but_o by_o the_o consent_n and_o will_n of_o the_o feoffer_n or_o donor_n and_o as_o they_o agree_v in_o this_o which_o be_v all_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o testament_n so_o do_v they_o differ_v in_o the_o solemnity_n or_o manner_n of_o accomplish_v for_o our_o law_n prevent_v rashness_n in_o pass_v so_o large_a a_o estate_n as_o a_o lease_n for_o life_n or_o a_o estate_n of_o inheritance_n have_v to_o feoffment_n and_o deed_n knit_v a_o necessity_n of_o livery_n and_o inrollment_n to_o remain_v as_o pregnant_a witness_n that_o the_o feoffment_n or_o deed_n be_v make_v by_o good_a advice_n but_o to_o will_n though_o they_o be_v of_o no_o force_n during_o the_o life_n of_o the_o testator_n no_o other_o solemnity_n be_v require_v but_o the_o death_n of_o he_o that_o make_v they_o which_o prevent_v all_o possibility_n to_o amend_v aught_o that_o be_v amiss_o another_o difference_n you_o may_v likewise_o note_v which_o i_o have_v though_o to_o another_o purpose_n touch_v before_o viz._n deed_n and_o feoffment_n require_v recompense_v to_o make_v the_o use_n change_n but_o will_n do_v pass_v the_o estate_n they_o contain_v and_o the_o use_n without_o regard_n of_o recompense_n these_o imperfection_n and_o difference_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o will_n be_v not_o entertain_v in_o our_o common_a law_n or_o at_o most_o but_o in_o some_o customary_a place_n as_o in_o burgh_n english_a where_o because_o the_o inheritance_n by_o those_o custom_n descend_v to_o the_o young_a son_n the_o common_a law_n therefore_o in_o favour_n as_o i_o guess_v of_o the_o heir_n permit_v there_o the_o use_n of_o will_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o reduce_v the_o customary_a land_n to_o the_o heir_n at_o common_a law_n and_o this_o i_o guess_v so_o because_o in_o the_o common_a law_n they_o be_v utter_o disable_v to_o convey_v inheritance_n before_o the_o statute_n of_o 32._o h._n 8._o cap._n 1._o except_o as_o i_o have_v say_v where_o custom_n have_v usurp_v on_o the_o common_a law_n and_o well_o be_v it_o consider_v in_o my_o judgement_n that_o act_v do_v at_o so_o unfit_a time_n as_o will_n be_v usual_o make_v shall_v not_o dispose_v of_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a weight_n as_o inheritance_n for_o our_o forefather_n think_v it_o not_o lawful_a in_o extreme_n of_o sickness_n by_o feoffment_n to_o pass_v their_o inheritance_n in_o extremis_fw-la tamen_fw-la agenti_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la hoc_fw-la cviquam_fw-la hactenus_fw-la permissum_fw-la quia_fw-la possit_fw-la tuncimmodica_fw-la fieri_fw-la hereditatis_fw-la

a_o man_n in_o extremity_n of_o sickness_n this_o be_v not_o permit_v because_o then_o a_o immoderate_a distribution_n of_o the_o inheritance_n may_v be_v make_v if_o this_o be_v lawful_a to_o he_o who_o lose_v his_o memory_n and_o reason_n by_o the_o fervour_n of_o his_o present_a passion_n this_o be_v the_o common_a law_n in_o mr._n glanvile_n his_o time_n and_o yet_o remain_v for_o aught_o i_o have_v read_v who_o authority_n i_o do_v often_o remember_v as_o most_o worthy_a be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o ancient_a judge_n of_o our_o law_n who_o as_o he_o have_v deliver_v this_o of_o feoffment_n so_o of_o will_n he_o say_v possit_fw-la tamen_fw-la huju_fw-la smodi_fw-la donatio_fw-la in_o ultima_fw-la voluntate_fw-la alicui_fw-la facta_fw-la ita_fw-la tenere_fw-la si_fw-la cum_fw-la consensu_fw-la heredis_fw-la &_o ex_fw-la svo_fw-la consensu_fw-la confirmaretur_fw-la yet_o say_v he_o such_o a_o gift_n make_v by_o will_n to_o any_o man_n may_v hold_v so_o as_o it_o be_v make_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o heir_n and_o confirm_v by_o his_o consent_n most_o just_a therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v our_o common_a law_n herein_o which_o suffer_v not_o the_o father_n in_o extremity_n of_o sickness_n to_o dispose_v of_o his_o inheritance_n since_o few_o man_n pinch_v with_o the_o messenger_n of_o death_n can_v afford_v reason_n his_o proper_a use_n since_o therefore_o will_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v rather_o out_o of_o fervour_n of_o passion_n then_o by_o advise_v deliberation_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o since_o some_o be_v make_v by_o compulsion_n other_o by_o ignorance_n and_o some_o to_o content_v the_o importunity_n of_o other_o when_o yet_o they_o hope_v to_o live_v long_o than_o they_o happen_v in_o all_o which_o case_n they_o be_v esteem_v as_o no_o will_n for_o voluntas_fw-la est_fw-la que_fw-la neque_fw-la per_fw-la vim_o neque_fw-la per_fw-la ignorantiam_fw-la fit_a since_o i_o say_v all_o these_o inconvenience_n be_v likely_a to_o happen_v and_o may_v scarce_o be_v avoid_v in_o will_n as_o few_o estate_n tail_n be_v much_o to_o be_v regard_v so_o none_o less_o than_o such_o as_o be_v compose_v by_o will_n unworthy_a therefore_o shall_v i_o esteem_v this_o instrument_n to_o have_v power_n concern_v inheritance_n though_o it_o be_v permit_v by_o a_o late_a statute_n but_o since_o the_o civil_a law_n be_v the_o true_a mother_n and_o maintainer_n of_o will_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o show_v you_o that_o therein_o the_o power_n of_o will_n be_v not_o absolute_a in_o dispose_v of_o inheritance_n which_o any_o man_n that_o doubt_n may_v see_v in_o the_o title_n of_o querela_fw-la inofficiosi_fw-la which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v subsidiarium_fw-la remedium_fw-la à _fw-la quo_fw-la petitur_fw-la

fratribus_fw-la vero_fw-la et_fw-la sororibus_fw-la si_fw-la turpes_fw-la personae_fw-la scriptae_fw-la sunt_fw-la thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o even_o the_o civil_a law_n have_v compassion_n on_o inheritance_n and_o give_v the_o child_n power_n as_o it_o be_v to_o cancel_v their_o father_n will_n if_o they_o be_v against_o the_o office_n of_o piety_n and_o what_o almost_o can_v be_v more_o impiety_n on_o the_o father_n part_n then_o to_o disinherit_v his_o first_o beget_v son_n his_o issue_n for_o none_o other_o cause_n then_o for_o that_o almighty_a god_n who_o only_o make_v heir_n make_v his_o son_n heir_n a_o daughter_n or_o daughter_n and_o rather_o to_o substitute_v another_o who_o can_v be_v no_o more_o his_o heir_n then_o pver_fw-la supposititius_fw-la that_o be_v a_o changeling_n can_v be_v child_n to_o she_o that_o never_o bear_v he_o for_o nemo_fw-la est_fw-la heres_fw-la viventis_fw-la how_o therefore_o shall_v one_o that_o live_v make_v a_o heir_n since_o there_o can_v be_v no_o heir_n till_o the_o father_n be_v dead_a this_o act_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v unnatural_a so_o be_v it_o impious_a for_o all_o sin_n be_v most_o grievous_a that_o be_v most_o unnatural_a but_o because_o it_o may_v here_o be_v allege_v that_o will_n import_v a_o charge_n or_o commandment_n of_o the_o division_n necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v it_o behoove_v i_o to_o prevent_v that_o objection_n which_o answer_n first_o therefore_o i_o think_v it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v general_o that_o all_o will_n contain_v a_o necessity_n to_o be_v perform_v since_o some_o will_n be_v impossible_a other_o unlawful_a and_o many_o doubtful_a to_o all_o which_o if_o we_o shall_v tie_v a_o necessity_n of_o fulfil_v we_o shall_v force_v thing_n unpossible_a thing_n unlawful_a and_o thing_n doubtful_a which_o be_v very_o unmeet_a but_o if_o some_o bound_v we_o and_o some_o leave_v we_o at_o liberty_n then_o must_v the_o difference_n proceed_v either_o of_o the_o
