A56468 A conference about the next succession to the crown of England divided into two parts : the first containeth the discourse of a civil lawyer, how and in what manner propinquity of bloud is to be preferred : the second containeth the speech of a temporal lawyer about the particular titles of all such as do, or may, pretend (within England or without) to the next succession : whereunto is also added a new and perfect arbor and genealogy of the descents of all the kings and princes of England, from the Conquest to the present day, whereby each mans pretence is made more plain ... / published by R.

that_o see_v rigour_n of_o law_n run_v only_o with_o the_o uncle_n for_o that_o indeed_o he_o be_v proper_o near_a in_o blood_n by_o one_o degree_n and_o that_o only_a indulgence_n and_o custom_n serve_v for_o the_o nephew_n permit_v he_o to_o represent_v the_o place_n of_o his_o father_n who_o be_v dead_a they_o resolve_v i_o say_v that_o whensoever_o the_o uncle_n be_v bear_v before_o the_o

right_n may_v be_v prefer_v for_o that_o the_o say_v elder_a brother_n can_v not_o give_v or_o transmit_v that_o thing_n to_o his_o son_n which_o be_v not_o in_o himself_o before_o his_o father_n

of_o lancaster_n do_v say_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o right_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o interest_n thereunto_o be_v not_o decide_v express_o in_o our_o law_n nor_o be_v it_o a_o plea_n subject_a to_o the_o common_a rule_n thereof_o but_o be_v superior_a and_o more_o eminent_a and_o therefore_o that_o man_n may_v not_o judge_v of_o this_o as_o of_o other_o plea_n of_o particular_a person_n nor_o be_v the_o trial_n alike_o nor_o the_o common_a maxim_n or_o rule_n always_o of_o force_n in_o this_o thing_n as_o in_o other_o which_o they_o prove_v by_o divers_a particular_a case_n as_o for_o example_n the_o widow_n of_o a_o private_a man_n shall_v have_v she_o three_o of_o all_o his_o land_n for_o her_o dowry_n inheritance_n but_o not_o the_o queen_n of_o the_o crown_n again_o if_o a_o private_a man_n have_v many_o daughter_n and_o die_v seize_v of_o land_n in_o fee-simple_n without_o heir_n male_a his_o say_a daughter_n by_o law_n shall_v have_v the_o say_v land_n as_o copartner_n equal_o divide_v between_o they_o but_o not_o the_o daughter_n of_o a_o king_n for_o that_o the_o elder_a must_v carry_v away_o all_o as_o though_o she_o be_v heir_n

land_n during_o his_o life_n as_o tenant_n by_o courtesy_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o crown_n if_o a_o man_n marry_v with_o a_o queen_n as_o king_n philip_n do_v with_o queen_n mary_n and_o so_o final_o they_o say_v also_o that_o albeit_o in_o private_a man_n possession_n the_o common_a course_n of_o our_o law_n be_v that_o if_o the_o father_n die_v seize_v of_o land_n in_o fee-simple_n leave_v a_o young_a son_n and_o a_o nephew_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o child_n of_o his_o elder_a son_n the_o nephew_n shall_v succeed_v his_o grandfather_n as_o also_o he_o shall_v do_v his_o uncle_n if_o of_o three_o brethren_n the_o elder_a die_v without_o issue_n and_o the_o second_o leave_v a_o son_n yet_o in_o the_o inheritance_n and_o succession_n of_o the_o crown_n it_o go_v otherwise_o as_o by_o all_o the_o fotmer_n eight_o example_n have_v be_v show_v and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o they_o say_v about_o the_o common_a law_n the_o second_o point_n which_o they_o affirm_v be_v that_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o common_a law_n custom_n consist_v principal_o and_o almost_o only_o about_o this_o point_n of_o the_o crown_n in_o custom_n for_o so_o say_v they_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o nothing_o in_o effect_n be_v write_v thereof_o in_o the_o common_a law_n and_o all_o old_a lawyer_n do_v affirm_v this_o point_n as_o be_v ranulfus_n de_fw-fr granvilla_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o england_n which_o he_o write_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o second_o and_o judge_n fortescue_n in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o praise_n of_o english_a law_n which_o he_o compile_v in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o six_o and_o other_o whereof_o these_o man_n do_v infer_v that_o see_v there_o be_v so_o many_o precedent_n and_o example_n allege_v before_o of_o the_o uncle_n case_n prefer_v before_o the_o nephew_n not_o only_o in_o foreign_a country_n but_o also_o in_o england_n for_o this_o cause_n i_o say_v they_o do_v affirm_v that_o our_o common_a law_n can_v but_o favour_v also_o this_o title_n and_o consequent_o must_v needs_o like_v well_o of_o the_o interest_n of_o lancaster_n as_o they_o avouch_v that_o all_o the_o best_a old_a lawyer_n do_v in_o those_o time_n and_o for_o example_n they_o do_v record_v two_o by_o name_n of_o the_o most_o famous_a learned_a man_n which_o those_o age_n have_v lancaster_n who_o not_o only_o defend_v the_o say_a title_n of_o lancaster_n in_o those_o day_n but_o also_o suffer_v much_o for_o the_o same_o the_o one_o be_v the_o forename_a judge_n fortescue_n chancellor_n

of_o lancaster_n do_v lay_v down_o for_o the_o justify_n of_o the_o title_n affirm_v first_o that_o john_n of_o gaunt_n duke_n of_o lancaster_n ought_v to_o have_v succeed_v his_o father_n king_n
