A20768	The yonger brother his apology by it selfe. Or A fathers free power disputed for the disposition of his lands, or other his fortunes to his sonne, sonnes, or any one of them: as right reason, the laws of God and nature, the ciuill, canon, and municipall lawes of this kingdome do command.

heritance_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o any_o one_o particular_a person_n and_o namely_o to_o the_o elder_a brother_n yet_o in_o some_o case_n it_o will_v not_o bind_v the_o father_n to_o observe_v it_o
