king_n and_o crown_n have_v great_a privilege_n and_o prerogative_n above_o the_o state_n and_o affair_n of_o subject_n and_o great_a difference_n allow_v in_o point_n of_o law_n as_o for_o example_n three_o it_o be_v a_o general_a &_o common_a rule_n of_o law_n that_o the_o wife_n after_o the_o decease_n of_o her_o husband_n shall_v enjoy_v the_o three_o of_o his_o land_n but_o yet_o the_o queen_n shall_v not_o enjoy_v the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o crown_n after_o the_o king_n death_n as_o well_o appear_v by_o experience_n and_o be_v to_o be_v see_v by_o law_n anno_fw-la 5._o and_o 21._o of_o edward_n the_o three_o courtesy_n and_o anno_fw-la 9_o and_o 28._o of_o henry_n the_o six_o also_o it_o be_v a_o common_a rule_n that_o the_o husband_n shall_v hold_v his_o wife_n land_n after_o her_o death_n as_o tenant_n by_o courtesy_n during_o his_o life_n but_o yet_o it_o hold_v not_o in_o a_o kingdom_n in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v a_o general_a and_o common_a rule_n that_o if_o a_o man_n die_v fease_v of_o land_n in_o fee-simple_n have_v daughter_n and_o no_o son_n his_o land_n shall_v be_v divide_v by_o equal_a portion_n among_o his_o daughter_n daughter_n which_o hold_v not_o in_o the_o crown_n but_o rather_o the_o elder_a daughter_n inherite●h_v the_o whole_a as_o if_o she_o be_v the_o issue_n male_a so_o also_o it_o be_v a_o common_a rule_n of_o our_o law_n executory_a that_o the_o executor_n shall_v have_v all_o the_o good_n and_o chattel_n of_o the_o testator_n but_o not_o in_o the_o crown_n and_o so_o in_o many_o other_o case_n which_o may_v be_v recite_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o crown_n have_v privilege_n above_o other_o and_o can_v be_v subject_a to_o rule_v be_v it_o never_o so_o general_a except_o express_v mention_n be_v make_v thereof_o in_o the_o same_o law_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o former_a place_n and_o a_o statute_n allege_v but_o rather_o to_o the_o contrary_n as_o after_o shall_v be_v show_v there_o be_v express_a exception_n for_o the_o prerogative_n of_o such_o as_o descend_v of_o royal_a blood_n their_o second_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o demand_n o●_n title_n of_o a_o crown_n can_v in_o true_a sense_n be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o word_n of_o the_o former_a statute_n statute_n forbid_v alien_n to_o demand_v heritage_n within_o the_o allegiance_n of_o england_n and_o that_o for_o two_o respect_n the_o one_o for_o that_o the_o crown_n itself_o can_v be_v call_v a_o heritage_n of_o allegiance_n or_o within_o allegiance_n for_o that_o it_o be_v hold_v of_o no_o superior_a upon_o earth_n but_o immediate_o from_o god_n himself_o the_o second_o for_o that_o this_o statute_n treat_v only_a and_o mean_v of_o inheritance_n by_o descent_n as_o heir_n to_o the_o same_o for_o i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o alien_n may_v hold_v land_n by_o purchase_n within_o our_o dominion_n and_o then_o say_v they_o corporation_n the_o crown_n be_v a_o thing_n incorporate_v and_o descend_v not_o according_a to_o the_o common_a course_n of_o other_o private_a inheritance_n but_o go_v by_o succession_n as_o other_o incorporation_n do_v in_o sign_n whereof_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o albeit_o the_o king_n be_v more_o favour_v in_o all_o his_o do_n than_o any_o common_a person_n shall_v be_v yet_o can_v he_o avoid_v by_o law_n his_o grant_n and_o letter_n patent_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o nonage_n as_o other_o infant_n and_o common_a heir_n under_o age_n may_v do_v but_o always_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o full_a age_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o crown_n even_o as_o a_o prior_n parson_n vicar_n deane_n or_o other_o person_n incorporate_a shall_v be_v which_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n in_o law_n be_v say_v to_o be_v within_o age_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o incorporation_n whi●h_o thing_n make_v a_o evident_a difference_n in_o our_o case_n from_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o former_a statute_n for_o that_o a_o prior_n deane_n or_o parson_n be_v alien_n and_o no_o denizen_n may_v always_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n demand_v land_n in_o england_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o corporation_n notwithstanding_o the_o say_a statute_n or_o common_a law_n against_o alien_n as_o appear_v by_o many_o book_n case_n yet_o extant_a as_o also_o by_o the_o statute_n make_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n richard_n the_o second_o which_o be_v after_o the_o foresay_a statute_n of_o king_n

both_o unreasonable_a and_o ridiculous_a to_o imagine_v that_o king_n edward_n by_o this_o statute_n will_v go_v about_o to_o disinherit_v his_o own_o nephew_n if_o h●_n shall_v have_v any_o bear_v

of_o the_o king_n or_o of_o the_o blood_n royal_a their_o four_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o meaning_n of_o king_n edward_n and_o his_o child_n live_v at_o such_o time_n as_o this_o statute_n be_v make_v can_v not_o be_v meaning_n that_o any_o of_o their_o lineage_n or_o issue_n may_v be_v exclude_v in_o law_n from_o inheritance_n of_o their_o right_n to_o the_o crown_n by_o their_o foreign_a
