their_o interest_n to_o be_v do_v nor_o do_v before_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o deed_n it_o all_o signify_v nothing_o but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v fit_a and_o proper_a here_o to_o say_v something_o to_o that_o notion_n that_o where_o the_o counsel_n be_v surprise_v that_o be_v a_o surprise_n upon_o the_o client_n i_o take_v that_o to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o a_o very_a great_a consequence_n and_o i_o fear_v it_o will_v shake_v most_o of_o the_o settlement_n of_o estate_n in_o england_n and_o for_o that_o i_o will_v mention_v the_o case_n of_o sir_n james_n herbert_n and_o the_o late_a lord_n of_o pembroke_n there_o be_v a_o bill_n bring_v in_o this_o court_n to_o set_v aside_o the_o will_n of_o the_o elder_a brother_n who_o be_v the_o late_a earl_n of_o pembroke_n but_o two_o sir_n james_n be_v heir_n at_o law_n and_o the_o other_o be_v but_o half_a brother_n that_o earl_n have_v take_v a_o displeasure_n at_o his_o brother_n and_o send_v direction_n to_o mr._n swanton_n to_o draw_v a_o will_n and_o settlement_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o among_o other_o thing_n order_n to_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o brother_n shall_v have_v no_o power_n over_o the_o estate_n to_o dispose_v of_o it_o &_o because_o that_o in_o his_o grandfather_n will_n there_o be_v such_o a_o settlement_n as_o he_o like_v of_o he_o send_v he_o that_o swanton_n make_v a_o will_n and_o limit_n a_o estate_n to_o sir_n philip_n herbert_n the_o brother_n for_o life_n and_o the_o remainder_n to_o the_o heir_n of_o his_o body_n this_o will_n be_v bring_v by_o the_o counsel_n to_o the_o earl_n and_o read_v and_o execute_v and_o hold_v to_o be_v good_a yet_o this_o be_v a_o notorious_a surprise_n upon_o the_o counsel_n for_o nothing_o be_v plain_a than_o that_o the_o counsel_n have_v make_v a_o mistake_n or_o know_v not_o the_o law_n he_o do_v not_o at_o best_a consider_v that_o upon_o such_o a_o limitation_n the_o law_n use_v the_o whole_a estate_n tale_n in_o he_o and_o he_o may_v dispose_v of_o it_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o have_v not_o pursue_v the_o will_n of_o the_o grandfather_n but_o yet_o when_o this_o cause_n come_v to_o be_v hear_v before_o my_o lord_n north_n when_o the_o will_n appear_v to_o have_v be_v true_o execute_v the_o court_n declare_v it_o be_v a_o misfortune_n that_o they_o do_v not_o go_v to_o a_o better_a counsel_n and_o it_o be_v send_v to_o law_n to_o try_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o pembroke_n or_o no_o and_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v the_o earl_n will_n the_o bill_n be_v dismiss_v with_o cost_v thus_o i_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o have_v be_v offer_v to_o prove_v the_o surprise_n i_o will_v short_o mention_v on_o the_o other_o side_n what_o have_v be_v insist_v upon_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o like_o surprise_n but_o all_o be_v do_v upon_o a_o very_a good_a ground_n and_o pursuant_n to_o a_o settle_a full_a purpose_n continue_v for_o so_o long_a a_o tract_n of_o time_n to_o the_o duke_n death_n first_o say_v they_o it_o do_v appear_v there_o be_v a_o very_a near_o relation_n between_o my_o lord_n duke_n and_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n and_o that_o duke_n george_n own_v and_o owe_v his_o first_o set_v out_o in_o the_o world_n to_o the_o ancestor_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

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
