french_a hitherto_o gentleman_n we_o have_v show_v you_o several_a nullity_n against_o law_n but_o now_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o two_o clause_n of_o the_o renunciation_n error_n against_o nature_n which_o i_o be_o confident_a will_v a_o little_a surprise_v you_o flem._n i_o impatient_o expect_v these_o clause_n for_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o i_o ever_o read_v any_o such_o strange_a passage_n in_o the_o contract_n french_a one_o of_o those_o clause_n import_v that_o the_o queen_n and_o her_o posterity_n shall_v be_v for_o ever_o exclude_v from_o all_o the_o estate_n which_o either_o be_v or_o shall_v ever_o be_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o spain_n so_o that_o if_o the_o race_n of_o his_o catholic_n majesty_n shall_v fail_v stranger_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o she_o and_o her_o issue_n the_o other_o import_v that_o this_o princess_n shall_v not_o be_v exclude_v from_o all_o those_o right_n but_o only_o in_o case_n that_o she_o have_v child_n by_o this_o marriage_n with_o his_o most_o christian_n majesty_n but_o in_o case_n she_o have_v none_o her_o right_n shall_v be_v entire_o preserve_v i_o dare_v once_o more_o gentlemen_z challenge_v you_o in_o all_o your_o readins_n by_o any_o instance_n in_o former_a age_n to_o parallel_v these_o two_o clause_n if_o not_o to_o say_v prodigy_n flem._n what_o be_v it_o that_o you_o find_v so_o strange_a in_o they_o french_a renunciation_n be_v not_o introduce_v but_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o family_n and_o yet_o by_o the_o first_o of_o these_o clause_n the_o father_n make_v use_v of_o it_o only_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o family_n in_o prefer_v stranger_n before_o his_o own_o blood_n renunciation_n be_v never_o authorize_v but_o in_o favour_n to_o the_o male-children_n and_o yet_o by_o this_o clause_n it_o be_v extend_v not_o only_o in_o favour_n to_o the_o daughter_n but_o to_o the_o young_a one_o in_o prejudice_n to_o the_o queen_n who_o be_v the_o elder_a pray_v tell_v i_o can_v a_o father_n more_o abuse_v a_o renunciation_n then_o by_o make_v it_o a_o instrument_n to_o destroy_v his_o own_o family_n contrary_a to_o the_o obligation_n and_o nature_n of_o all_o renunciation_n which_o be_v never_o permit_v he_o but_o only_o to_o preserve_v it_o but_o again_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o latter_a clause_n which_o disinherits_a the_o queen_n in_o case_n she_o have_v no_o child_n but_o that_o spain_n will_v turn_v the_o blessing_n which_o heaven_n may_v bestow_v upon_o this_o glorious_a marriage_n into_o a_o curse_n certain_o nature_n which_o always_o tend_v to_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o species_n can_v without_o a_o blush_n behold_v so_o exorbitant_a a_o clause_n which_o will_v prefer_v barrenness_n before_o fruitfulness_n marriage_n which_o only_o propose_v to_o its_o self_n the_o birth_n of_o child_n can_v endure_v the_o scandal_n of_o disinherit_n a_o mother_n for_o have_v son_n and_o daughter_n which_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n the_o canon_n and_o civil_a law_n which_o be_v so_o severe_a against_o whatsoever_o shall_v touch_v upon_o the_o liberty_n honour_n or_o fruitfulness_n of_o marriage_n can_v without_o horror_n behold_v a_o clause_n so_o injurious_a to_o the_o intention_n and_o dignity_n of_o marriage_n especial_o this_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o august_n and_o renown_a under_o heaver_n methinks_v such_o policy_n can_v expect_v other_o than_o the_o disdain_n of_o all_o the_o world_n which_o reduce_v the_o illustrious_a princess_n to_o the_o hard_a choice_n of_o mourn_v all_o her_o day_n a_o barrenness_n that_o will_v hinder_v she_o from_o be_v mother_n to_o a_o king_n of_o france_n or_o a_o fruitfulness_n by_o marriage_n which_o will_v cut_v she_o off_o from_o be_v queen_n of_o spain_n but_o this_o also_o expose_v the_o whole_a monarchy_n of_o castille_n to_o civil_a and_o intestine_a war_n which_o be_v not_o like_a to_o end_v but_o by_o the_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o that_o crown_n for_o suppose_v the_o catholic_n king_n shall_v die_v in_o his_o minority_n at_o a_o time_n when_o the_o queen_n shall_v have_v child_n by_o the_o most_o christian_n king_n and_o that_o afterward_o these_o child_n die_v shall_v the_o queen_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o clause_n go_v and_o disinherit_v she_o young_a sister_n who_o shall_v have_v take_v possession_n
