before_o ralph_n the_o steward_n of_o cheshire_n but_o if_o amicia_n be_v a_o legitimate_a daughter_n the_o reason_n thereof_o will_v be_v apparent_a for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o

159._o to_o have_v royal_a authority_n within_o himself_o and_o not_o unfit_o to_o bestile_v a_o petty_a king_n have_v under_o he_o his_o constable_n of_o cheshire_n in_o fee_n in_o imitation_n of_o the_o lord_n high_a constable_n of_o england_n and_o his_o steward_n of_o cheshire_n in_o fee_n after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o lord_n high_a steward_n of_o england_n and_o his_o nobleman_n about_o he_o in_o imitation_n of_o the_o baron_n of_o the_o kingdom_n as_o also_o his_o chamberlain_n who_o supply_v the_o place_n of_o chancellor_n and_o his_o justice_n of_o chester_n who_o have_v like_o

he_o have_v marry_v a_o lawful_a daughter_n to_o one_o of_o their_o say_a earl_n add_v hereunto_o that_o when_o earl_n hugh_n cyvelioke_n do_v by_o his_o charter_n mention_v by_o you_o page_z 131._o acquit_v the_o abbot_n and_o monk_n of_o stanlaw_n of_o some_o toll_n in_o chester_n which_o can_v be_v but_o a_o little_a before_o the_o say_v earl_n death_n because_o the_o say_a earl_n die_v in_o

the_o reason_n thereof_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v because_o the_o say_v ralph_n mainwaring_n who_o be_v son_n in_o law_n to_o the_o say_a earl_n be_v then_o justice_n of_o chester_n as_o he_o also_o

preeminence_n can_v not_o be_v give_v to_o the_o say_v ralph_n because_o he_o be_v justice_n of_o chester_n that_o be_v below_o the_o office_n of_o constable_n and_o steward_n as_o appear_v before_o but_o because_o of_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o say_v ralph_n to_o the_o say_a earl_n but_o as_o this_o respect_n be_v too_o great_a to_o have_v be_v show_v he_o if_o he_o have_v only_o marry_v one_o that_o be_v a_o bastard_n so_o it_o do_v not_o consist_v with_o your_o conceit_n that_o the_o say_v amice_fw-la be_v illegitimate_a and_o that_o the_o say_v ralph_n have_v nothing_o else_o with_o
