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 justice_n raynsford_n do_v declare_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o relief_n though_o it_o be_v say_v before_o it_o be_v apparent_o a_o will_n obtain_v by_o fraud_n and_o this_o to_o the_o prejudice_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 understand_v the_o kindness_n of_o duke_n christopher_n and_o know_v of_o the_o will_n of_o 75._o and_o know_v the_o incoastancy_n of_o the_o duke_n temper_n and_o other_o circumstance_n in_o the_o family_n and_o the_o revocableness_n of_o a_o will_n shall_v have_v apply_v himself_o to_o the_o duke_n and_o tell_v he_o '_o it_o be_v true_a you_o have_v be_v so_o kind_a as_o by_o your_o will_n to_o bequeath_v i_o a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o estate_n but_o you_o may_v be_v prevail_v with_o on_o a_o sudden_a or_o by_o some_o artifice_n or_o other_o to_o alter_v this_o will_n of_o you_o and_o you_o may_v be_v surprise_v into_o the_o do_n of_o it_o pray_v will_v you_o make_v a_o more_o solemn_a settlement_n to_o confirm_v this_o kindness_n by_o a_o deed_n and_o have_v prevail_v to_o get_v he_o to_o do_v it_o suppose_v i_o say_v he_o have_v do_v so_o though_o i_o find_v no_o evidence_n in_o this_o case_n of_o any_o such_o thing_n suppose_v he_o have_v be_v employ_v in_o the_o whole_a transaction_n of_o such_o a_o deed_n be_v this_o unlawful_a or_o be_v it_o any_o harm_n no_o it_o be_v very_o innocent_a he_o may_v lawful_o do_v it_o and_o if_o he_o have_v opportunity_n he_o may_v prudent_o do_v it_o but_o i_o say_v i_o find_v not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o in_o this_o case_n but_o this_o deed_n be_v fair_o obtain_v from_o the_o duke_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o advice_n desire_n or_o interposition_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n do_v not_o appear_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o duke_n be_v own_o voluntary_a act_n though_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o material_a whether_o it_o be_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o but_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o when_o duke_n christopher_n do_v design_n to_o alter_v his_o will_n and_o for_o that_o purpose_n send_v to_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n to_o bring_v the_o will_n of_o 75._o which_o he_o have_v in_o his_o custody_n my_o lord_n of_o bath_n shall_v have_v tell_v he_o of_o this_o deed_n too_o and_o therefore_o the_o conceal_n of_o the_o deed_n of_o 81._o from_o d._n christopher_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o fraud_n and_o not_o make_v a_o discovery_n of_o it_o then_o he_o shall_v not_o now_o take_v advantage_n of_o this_o slip_n and_o have_v the_o estate_n by_o this_o deed_n because_o if_o the_o duke_n have_v consider_v the_o proviso_n in_o the_o deed_n he_o will_v have_v take_v eftectual_a care_n to_o have_v have_v a_o good_a revocation_n in_o all_o the_o circumstance_n and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o so_o revoke_v it_o must_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o concealment_n of_o this_o deed_n from_o the_o duke_n by_o the_o e._n of_o bath_n so_o be_v the_o case_n of_o mr._n clare_n at_o the_o suit_n of_o the_o e._n of_o bedford_n which_o be_v open_v the_o last_o term._n a_o man_n that_o

do_v it_o appear_v in_o this_o case_n that_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n know_v to_o what_o purpose_n the_o duke_n send_v for_o his_o will_n or_o how_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v alter_v the_o settlement_n of_o his_o estate_n why_o must_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o take_v more_o notice_n of_o this_o deed_n to_o the_o duke_n than_o the_o duke_n himself_o it_o be_v the_o duke_n own_o act_n and_o not_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n and_o why_o shall_v he_o give_v he_o notice_n of_o his_o own_o act_n the_o rule_n of_o law_n when_o one_o be_v oblige_v to_o give_v notice_n to_o another_o be_v this_o when_o the_o thing_n lie_v more_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o and_o he_o can_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n but_o by_o his_o mean_n but_o when_o one_o man_n have_v reason_n to_o know_v and_o do_v as_o much_o as_o the_o other_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v notice_n

to_o revoke_v and_o his_o intention_n be_v know_v but_o he_o be_v prevent_v by_o a_o particular_a accident_n and_o surprise_v when_o his_o design_n be_v so_o to_o do_v but_o he_o can_v not_o perform_v that_o design_n as_o by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n or_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o a_o place_n whither_o he_o can_v not_o go_v if_o any_o accident_n obstruct_v that_o intention_n it_o shall_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o good_a and_o shall_v prevail_v but_o now_o in_o this_o case_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v any_o such_o intention_n of_o execute_v his_o power_n it_o be_v true_a he_o make_v his_o will_n which_o be_v a_o quite_o contrary_a disposition_n of_o his_o estate_n that_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o his_o intention_n to_o make_v a_o new_a will_n but_o not_o to_o revoke_v this_o deed_n he_o be_v no_o way_n hinder_v by_o any_o accident_n or_o irremovable_a impediment_n from_o execute_v the_o power_n according_a to_o the_o circumstance_n he_o be_v in_o the_o place_n where_o best_o of_o all_o throughout_o england_n he_o may_v have_v have_v three_o peer_n to_o be_v witness_n of_o it_o the_o will_n be_v execute_v in_o london_n at_o sir_n robert_n clayton_n house_n and_o there_o be_v then_o two_o peer_n in_o the_o house_n therefore_o since_o he_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o have_v do_v it_o well_o and_o will_v not_o do_v it_o this_o can_v never_o be_v construe_v a_o good_a revocation_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n and_o i_o think_v true_o that_o any_o such_o construction_n will_v induce_v many_o absurdity_n for_o first_o it_o be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o power_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n in_o direct_a opposition_n to_o the_o court_n of_o law_n and_o so_o let_v a_o man_n loose_a in_o equity_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o he_o have_v restrain_v himself_o at_o law_n by_o a_o law_n of_o his_o own_o make_n second_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o because_o a_o man_n my_o dispose_n of_o his_o estate_n one_o way_n by_o law_n therefore_o in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n he_o shall_v dispose_v of_o his_o estate_n any_o way_n that_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a but_o a_o true_a consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n because_o a_o man_n settle_v his_o estate_n such_o a_o way_n with_o such_o a_o power_n to_o alter_v it_o in_o such_o circumstance_n therefore_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o any_o way_n at_o this_o rate_n tenant_n in_o taile_n may_v dispose_v of_o his_o estate_n without_o a_o fine_a in_o equity_n because_o he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o at_o law_n with_o a_o fine_a for_o the_o same_o equity_n there_o be_v in_o both_o case_n so_o a_o copyholder_n of_o inheritance_n may_v in_o equity_n dispose_v of_o his_o estate_n without_o a_o surrender_n because_o he_o may_v do_v it_o at_o law_n by_o a_o surrender_n three_o it_o be_v to_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o give_v away_o more_o than_o he_o have_v in_o he_o for_o he_o have_v no_o more_o in_o he_o than_o what_o be_v according_a to_o the_o power_n he_o reserve_v to_o himself_o and_o four_o it_o be_v to_o frustrate_v the_o intent_n and_o design_n of_o all_o settlement_n whatsoever_o so_o that_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n at_o all_o for_o this_o court_n to_o let_v a_o man_n loose_v that_o have_v thus_o restrain_v himself_o unless_o there_o be_v some_o special_a reason_n in_o the_o particular_a case_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v his_o case_n vary_v from_o the_o ordinary_a rule_n then_o let_v we_o consider_v next_o the_o circumstance_n that_o the_o duke_n be_v under_o at_o the_o time_n of_o make_v this_o will_n you_o that_o be_v for_o the_o plaintiff_n say_v that_o he_o have_v forget_v this_o deed_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o old_a and_o forget_a deed_n it_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o regard_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n it_o not_o be_v take_v any_o notice_n of_o by_o the_o party_n himself_o first_o i_o pray_v consider_v whether_o the_o evidence_n do_v not_o prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a it_o be_v a_o settlement_n make_v very_o solemn_o it_o be_v very_o well_o attest_v by_o six_o witness_n person_n of_o consideration_n it_o be_v do_v with_o deliberation_n and_o do_v but_o in_o 81._o the_o will_n be_v in_o 87._o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v presume_v that_o the_o duke_n do_v or_o can_v forget_v a_o setlement_n so_o solemn_o and_o deliberate_o execute_v i_o say_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o presume_v it_o but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a that_o he_o do_v not_o forget_v it_o beside_o though_o he_o have_v forget_v it_o sir_n thomas_n stringer_n who_o be_v so_o instrumental_a about_o this_o will_n have_v not_o forget_v it_o for_o he_o make_v a_o abstract_n of_o it_o about_o that_o time_n with_o the_o very_a date_n in_o it_o and_o i_o take_v it_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o counsel_n in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o client_n suppose_v a_o man_n be_v to_o make_v a_o purchase_n and_o he_o carry_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o title_n to_o counsel_n and_o he_o espy_v a_o trust_n in_o the_o deed_n and_o acquaint_v his_o client_n and_o yet_o he_o will_v purchase_v shall_v equity_n relieve_v it_o may_v be_v the_o counsel_n oversee_v this_o trust_n and_o the_o purchaser_n be_v call_v to_o account_v about_o it_o say_v he_o i_o have_v no_o notice_n i_o know_v nothing_o of_o any_o such_o trust_n i_o be_o a_o purchaser_n for_o a_o valuable_a consideration_n and_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o affect_v i_o but_o then_o they_o come_v and_o prove_v that_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o title_n be_v carry_v to_o counsel_n they_o see_v this_o trust_n or_o have_v a_o opportunity_n to_o see_v it_o then_o i_o take_v it_o notice_n to_o the_o counsel_n be_v notice_n to_o the_o client_n and_o the_o man_n that_o pay_v the_o money_n must_v lose_v the_o estate_n so_o here_o sir_n thomas_n stringer_n memory_n be_v the_o duke_n memory_n but_o pray_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o forget_n of_o a_o deed_n be_v a_o ground_n to_o revoke_v it_o in_o equity_n must_v the_o goodness_n and_o validity_n of_o a_o deed_n depend_v upon_o the_o memory_n of_o he_o that_o make_v it_o memory_n be_v slippery_a but_o a_o deed_n be_v permanent_a and_o make_v to_o abide_v for_o ever_o because_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o forget_v what_o they_o have_v do_v therefore_o shall_v their_o deed_n have_v no_o more_o effect_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n than_o if_o they_o have_v never_o be_v do_v at_o all_o this_o i_o confess_v be_v very_o new_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n to_o i_o when_o a_o thing_n once_o come_v to_o be_v put_v into_o write_v we_o say_v it_o be_v never_o forget_v litera_fw-la scripta_fw-la manet_fw-la but_o then_o true_o they_o say_v it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o

not_o intend_v to_o revoke_v this_o settlement_n that_o stand_v in_o the_o way_n the_o other_o they_o say_v how_o be_v it_o consistent_a with_o the_o duke_n honour_n to_o intend_v to_o revoke_v it_o when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o friendship_n between_o the_o duke_n and_o the_o earl_n so_o many_o service_n and_o obligation_n perform_v by_o the_o earl_n such_o a_o trust_n and_o confidence_n repose_v in_o he_o even_o to_o the_o last_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v how_o come_v this_o to_o pass_v but_o so_o it_o be_v they_o be_v act_n very_o much_o inconsistent_a i_o confess_v but_o for_o person_n honour_n in_o judge_v of_o cause_n we_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v with_o they_o for_o my_o part_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o duke_n have_v to_o

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

he_o himself_o die_v without_o issue_n now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o or_o no_o this_o will_n in_o 87_o have_v revoke_v this_o deed_n make_v in_o 81_o in_o equity_n for_o there_o be_v but_o three_o witness_n to_o this_o will_n and_o not_o one_o of_o they_o a_o peer_n so_o that_o in_o law_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a it_o be_v no_o revocation_n at_o all_o it_o can_v be_v a_o good_a revocation_n there_o because_o the_o power_n be_v not_o pursue_v the_o circumstance_n be_v not_o observe_v here_o be_v neither_o the_o tender_a of_o a_o shilling_n nor_o six_o witness_n whereof_o

of_o the_o will_n of_o 87_o against_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 1681._o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v premise_v as_o grant_v and_o not_o to_o be_v question_v first_o that_o the_o

have_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n touch_v relief_n in_o equity_n against_o this_o deed_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v to_o be_v a_o good_a deed_n in_o law_n or_o they_o be_v not_o to_o come_v hither_o for_o relief_n against_o it_o and_o as_o this_o deed_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v a_o good_a deed_n so_o in_o this_o debate_n all_o those_o circumstance_n that_o appear_v in_o the_o deposition_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v to_o be_v true_a in_o this_o cause_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o be_v never_o hereafter_o to_o be_v controvert_v but_o now_o upon_o this_o

and_o then_o a_o three_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v without_o all_o contradiction_n too_o be_v that_o this_o will_n of_o 87_o be_v a_o good_a will._n the_o case_n stand_v thus_o and_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v take_v for_o grant_v the_o question_n i_o say_v will_v be_v whether_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o this_o will_n of_o 87_o can_v have_v any_o relief_n against_o those_o that_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

but_o to_o the_o intent_n i_o may_v comprehend_v all_o the_o matter_n that_o i_o think_v be_v any_o way_n considerable_a and_o fit_a to_o be_v insist_v upon_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o four_o general_a

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 insist_v upon_o by_o the_o counsel_n for_o the_o plaintiff_n as_o first_o that_o this_o deed_n of_o 81_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o will_v because_o it_o recite_v a_o will_n and_o 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 pretend_v to_o recite_v the_o will_n of_o 75_o and_o there_o be_v several_a mistake_v in_o the_o recital_n and_o very_o great_a variation_n from_o it_o three_o that_o there_o be_v several_a 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

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 thence_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v upon_o the_o fact_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o deposition_n which_o be_v plain_a and_o clear_a and_o upon_o these_o we_o be_v to_o determine_v our_o opinion_n and_o nothing_o else_o that_o be_v dark_a and_o that_o we_o can_v come_v at_o further_a than_o by_o conjecture_n there_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o cause_n which_o i_o omit_v on_o purpose_n because_o i_o will_v mention_v only_o those_o that_o be_v most_o material_a upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v no_o relief_n in_o this_o case_n against_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n and_o those_o that_o claim_v by_o the_o deed_n of_o 81._o lord_n keeper_n i_o shall_v first_o take_v notice_n how_o these_o cause_n stand_v in_o court_n and_o who_o be_v the_o party_n in_o
