cap._n 7._o do_v accord_n and_o the_o four_o thing_n be_v that_o the_o donee_n shall_v hold_v free_o of_o the_o donor_n till_o the_o four_o degree_n be_v past_a with_o which_o the_o old_a treatise_n call_v fleta_n lib._n 3._o cap._n 11._o do_v agree_v for_o both_o which_o reason_n this_o gift_n can_v be_v a_o gift_n in_o frankmarriage_n because_o what_o be_v here_o give_v be_v give_v to_o geva_n alone_o and_o not_o to_o a_o husband_n with_o she_o as_o also_o there_o be_v here_o no_o donee_n but_o one_o donee_n only_o and_o the_o estate_n be_v not_o to_o continue_v until_o the_o four_o degree_n be_v past_a but_o be_v only_o a_o estate_n intend_v for_o the_o life_n of_o geva_n as_o appear_v before_o whereas_o what_o be_v give_v by_o earl_n hugh_n to_o ralph_n mainwaring_n with_o his_o daughter_n amicia_n and_o by_o ralph_n mainwaring_n to_o henry_n de_fw-fr alditelegh_n with_o his_o daughter_n bertred_n be_v give_v in_o free-marriage_n and_o their_o heir_n be_v mention_v in_o both_o the_o deed_n it_o remain_v therefore_o clear_a that_o the_o deed_n to_o geva_n be_v not_o a_o gift_n in_o frankmarriage_n and_o be_v also_o very_o uncertain_a whether_o geva_n be_v a_o bastard_n as_o you_o suppose_v the_o second_o reason_n allege_v to_o prove_v that_o amicia_n be_v legitimate_a have_v also_o yet_o its_o full_a strength_n and_o be_v not_o at_o all_o weaken_a by_o

former_a wife_n who_o die_v and_o leave_v he_o no_o issue-male_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n at_o all_o if_o he_o that_o have_v so_o great_a a_o estate_n do_v afterward_o marry_v a_o lady_n that_o be_v

i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o there_o may_v be_v many_o more_o year_n betwixt_o they_o and_o that_o from_o the_o argument_n upon_o which_o you_o yourself_o do_v reckon_v viz._n the_o
