that_o if_o these_o two_o realm_n of_o england_n and_o scotland_n be_v unite_v under_o one_o law_n and_o one_o parliament_n and_o thereby_o incorporate_v and_o make_v as_o one_o kingdom_n that_o the_o

upon_o that_o which_o be_v several_a have_v be_v and_o must_v be_v the_o depth_n of_o this_o question_n and_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n do_v see_v the_o state_n of_o this_o question_n do_v

out_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o other_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o form_n of_o plead_n and_o never_o be_v there_o any_o case_n that_o come_v in_o judgement_n that_o require_v more_o that_o littleton_n advice_n shall_v be_v follow_v in_o those_o two_o point_n than_o do_v the_o present_a case_n in_o question_n and_o first_o of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o other_o commonwealth_n monarchy_n only_o except_v do_v snbsi_v by_o a_o law_n precedent_n for_o where_o authority_n be_v divide_v among_o many_o officer_n and_o they_o not_o perpetual_a but_o annual_a or_o temporary_a and_o not_o to_o receive_v their_o authority_n but_o by_o election_n and_o certain_a person_n to_o have_v voice_n only_o to_o that_o election_n and_o the_o like_a these_o be_v busy_a and_o curious_a frame_n which_o of_o necessity_n do_v presuppose_v a_o law_n precedent_n write_v or_o unwritten_a to_o guide_v and_o direct_v they_o but_o in_o monarchy_n especial_o hereditary_a that_o be_v when_o
proceed_v therefore_o to_o the_o proose_v of_o our_o part_n your_o lordship_n can_v but_o know_v many_o of_o they_o must_v be_v already_o spend_v in_o the_o answer_n which_o we_o have_v make_v to_o the_o objection_n for_o corruptio_fw-la unius_fw-la generatio_fw-la alterius_fw-la hold_v aswell_o in_o argument_n as_o in_o nature_n the_o destruction_n of_o a_o objection_n beget_v a_o proof_n but_o

these_o proof_n which_o stand_v substantial_o of_o themselves_o and_o be_v not_o intermix_v with_o matter_n of_o confutation_n i_o will_v therefore_o prove_v unto_o your_o lordship_n that_o the_o post-natus_fw-la of_o scotland_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n nat●rall_n and_o aught_o foe_n to_o be_v adjudge_v by_o three_o course_n of_o proof_n 1._o bi●●t_v upon_o point_n of_o favour_n of_o law_n 2._o second_o upon_o reason_n and_o authority_n of_o law_n 3._o and_o last_o upon_o former_a precedent_n and_o example_n favour_n of_o law_n what_o mean_v i_o by_o that_o the_o law_n be_v equal_a and_o favour_v not_o it_o be_v true_a not_o person_n but_o thing_n or_o matter_n it_o do_v favour_n be_v it_o not_o a_o common_a principle_n that_o the_o law_n favour_v three_o thing_n life_n liberty_n and_o dower_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o favour_n this_o because_o our_o law_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o these_o three_o thing_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n preservation_n of_o life_n natural_a liberty_n which_o every_o beast_n or_o bird_n seek_v and_o affect_v natural_o the_o society_n of_o man_n and_o wife_n whereof_o dower_n be_v the_o reward_n natural_a it_o be_v well_o do_v the_o law_n favour_n liberty_n so_o high_o as_o a_o man_n shall_v infranchise_v his_o bondman_n when_o he_o think_v not_o of_o it_o by_o grant_v to_o he_o land_n or_o good_n and_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o quia_fw-la natura_fw-la omnes_fw-la homines_fw-la erant_fw-la liberi_fw-la and_o that_o servitude_n or_o villeinage_n do_v cross_a and_o abridge_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o do_v not_o the_o selfsame_a reason_n hold_v in_o the_o present_a case_n for_o my_o lord_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v naturalize_v one_o towards_o another_o they_o be_v all_o make_v of_o one_o lump_n of_o earth_n of_o one_o breath_n of_o god_n they_o have_v the_o same_o common_a parent_n nay_o at_o the_o first_o they_o be_v as_o the_o scripture_n show_v unius_fw-la labii_fw-la of_o one_o language_n until_o the_o curse_n which_o curse_n thanks_n be_v to_o god_n our_o present_a case_n be_v exempt_v from_o it_o be_v civil_a and_o national_a law_n that_o bring_v in_o these_o word_n and_o difference_n of_o civis_fw-la and_o exterus_fw-la alien_n and_o native_a and_o therefore_o because_o they_o tend_v to_o abridge_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o law_n favour_v not_o they_o but_o take_v they_o strict_o even_o as_o our_o law_n have_v a_o excellent_a rule_n that_o custom_n of_o town_n and_o burroughes_n shall_v be_v take_v and_o construe_v strict_o and_o precise_o because_o they_o do_v abridge_v and_o derogate_v from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n so_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n all_o national_a law_n whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v take_v strict_o and_o hardly_o in_o any_o point_n wherein_o they_o abridge_v and_o derogate_v from_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n whereupon_o i_o conclude_v that_o your_o lordship_n can_v judge_v the_o law_n for_o the_o other_o side_n except_o the_o case_n be_v luce_n clarius_fw-la and_o if_o it_o appear_v to_o you_o but_o doubtful_a as_o i_o think_v no_o man_n in_o his_o right_a sense_n but_o will_v yield_v it_o to_o be_v at_o least_o doubtful_a then_o ought_v your_o lordship_n under_o your_o correction_n be_v it_o speak_v to_o pronounce_v for_o we_o because_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o law_n furthermore_o as_o the_o law_n of_o england_n must_v favour_v naturalisation_n as_o a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o it_o appear_v manifest_o that_o it_o do_v favour_v it_o according_o for_o be_v it_o not_o much_o to_o make_v a_o subject_a naturalize_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n it_o shall_v suffice_v either_o place_n or_o parent_n if_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o england_n it_o be_v matter_n no_o though_o his_o parent_n be_v spaniard_n or_o what_o you_o will_v on_o the_o other_a side_n if_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o english_a parent_n it_o skill_v not_o though_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o spain_n or_o in_o any_o other_o place_n of_o the_o world_n in_o such_o sort_n do_v the_o law_n of_o england_n open_v her_o lap_n to_o receive_v in_o people_n to_o be_v naturalize_v which_o indeed_o show_v the_o wisdom_n and_o excellent_a composition_n of_o our_o law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o a_o warlike_a and_o magnanimous_a nation_n sit_v for_o empire_n for_o look_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o such_o kind_n of_o estate_n have_v be_v ever_o liberal_a in_o point_n of_o naturalisation_n whereas_o marchantlike_a and_o envious_a estate_n have_v be_v otherwise_o for_o the_o reason_n of_o law_n join_v with_o authority_n i_o do_v first_o observe_v to_o your_o lordship_n that_o our_o assertion_n or_o affirmation_n be_v simple_a and_o plain_a that_o it_o suffice_v to_o naturalisation_n that_o there_o be_v one_o king_n and_o that_o the_o party_n be_v natus_fw-la ad_fw-la sidem_fw-la regis_fw-la agreeable_a to_o the_o definition_n of_o littleton_n which_o be_v alien_n be_v he_o which_o be_v bear_v out_o of_o the_o allegiance_n of_o our_o lord_n the_o king_n they_o of_o the_o other_a side_n speak_v of_o respect_n and_o quoad_fw-la and_o quatenus_fw-la and_o such_o subtlety_n and_o distinction_n to_o maintain_v therefore_o our_o assertion_n i_o will_v use_v three_o kind_n of_o proof_n the_o first_o be_v that_o allegiance_n can_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o law_n or_o kingdom_n but_o to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o king_n because_o the_o allegiance_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v more_o large_a and_o spacious_a and_o have_v a_o great_a latitude_n and_o comprehension_n than_o the_o law_n or_o the_o kingdom_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v a_o dependency_n of_o that_o without_o the_o which_o it_o may_v of_o itself_o subsist_v the_o second_o proof_n which_o i_o will_v use_v be_v that_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o the_o king_n have_v a_o operation_n and_o influence_n into_o his_o body_n politic_a aswell_o as_o his_o body_n politic_a have_v upon_o his_o body_n natural_a and_o therefore_o that_o although_o his_o body_n politic_a of_o king_n of_o england_n and_o his_o body_n politic_a of_o king_n of_o scotland_n be_v soverall_a and_o distinct_a yet_o nevertheless_o his_o natural_a person_n which_o be_v one_o have_v a_o operation_n upon_o both_o and_o create_v aprivity_n between_o they_o and_o the_o three_o proof_n be_v the_o bind_a text_n of_o five_o several_a statute_n for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o manifest_a that_o the_o allegiance_n be_v of_o a_o great_a extent_n and_o dimension_n than_o law_n or_o kingdom_n and_o can_v consist_v by_o the_o law_n mere_o because_o it_o begin_v before_o law_n it_o continue_v after_o law_n and_o it_o be_v in_o vigour_n where_o law_n be_v suspend_v and_o have_v not_o their_o force_n that_o it_o be_v more_o ancient_a than_o law_n appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o beginning_n by_o way_n of_o inducement_n where_o i_o do_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o original_a age_n of_o kingdom_n be_v govern_v by_o natural_a equity_n that_o king_n be_v more_o ancient_a than_o lawgiver_n that_o the_o first_o submission_n be_v simple_a and_o upon_o confidence_n to_o the_o person_n of_o king_n and_o that_o the_o allegiance_n of_o subject_n to_o hereditary_a monarchy_n can_v no_o more_o be_v say_v to_o consist_v by_o law_n than_o the_o obedience_n of_o child_n to_o parent_n that_o allegiance_n continue_v after_o law_n i_o will_v only_o put_v the_o case_n which_o be_v remember_v by_o two_o great_a judge_n in_o a_o great_a assembly_n the_o one_o of_o they_o now_o with_o god_n which_o be_v that_o if_o a_o king_n of_o england_n shall_v be_v expalse_v his_o kingdom_n and_o some_o particular_a subject_n shall_v follow_v he_o in_o flight_n or_o exile_n in_o foreign_a part_n and_o any_o of_o they_o there_o shall_v conspire_v his_o death_n that_o upon_o his_o rocoveryof_n his_o kingdom_n such_o a_o subject_a might_n by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n be_v proceed_v with_o for_o treason_n commit_v and_o perpetrate_v at_o what_o time_n he_o have_v no_o kingdom_n and_o in_o place_n where_o ethe_o law_n do_v not_o bind_v that_o allegiance_n be_v in_o vigour_n and_o force_n where_o the_o power_n of_o law_n have_v a_o
