alive_a that_o he_o may_v have_v set_v all_o right_a but_o as_o the_o matter_n now_o stand_v here_o it_o have_v render_v he_o very_o doubtful_a in_o the_o case_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v believe_v sir_n

my_o lord_n of_o bath_n it_o be_v thought_n sit_v to_o be_v conceal_v for_o some_o reason_n from_o the_o duchess_n but_o after_o all_o i_o know_v no_o such_o rule_n in_o equity_n i_o be_o sure_a

such_o thing_n the_o second_o matter_n to_o make_v out_o the_o surprise_n be_v some_o consideration_n take_v out_o of_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o deed_n itself_o several_a impropriety_n of_o

of_o the_o law-dialect_n it_o do_v likewise_o misrecite_v the_o will_n of_o 75_o that_o be_v particular_o as_o to_o the_o land_n give_v to_o the_o duchess_n that_o they_o be_v give_v for_o life_n

so_o make_v so_o attest_v so_o prove_v as_o this_o deed_n in_o question_n have_v be_v they_o be_v rather_o and_o indeed_o flaw_n and_o objection_n that_o go_v to_o the_o manner_n and_o form_n than_o the_o substance_n and_o show_v rather_o want_v of_o art_n in_o the_o counsel_n that_o draw_v it_o than_o of_o honesty_n or_o integrity_n in_o the_o deed_n itself_o beside_o that_o a_o devise_n to_o

it_o be_v so_o as_o to_o the_o land_n call_v norton_n disney_n but_o there_o be_v other_o land_n not_o comprise_v in_o the_o settlement_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v new_o purchase_v be_v in_o his_o power_n to_o settle_v as_o he_o please_v but_o the_o great_a objection_n out_o of_o the_o deed_n be_v this_o that_o this_o deed_n do_v in_o several_a place_n declare_v itself_o to_o be_v make_v to_o confirm_v and_o corroborate_v the_o will_n of_o 75._o how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v that_o it_o shall_v differ_v from_o it_o in_o all_o the_o limitation_n except_o one_o and_o that_o in_o the_o draught_n be_v of_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n own_o write_v and_o that_o part_n of_o the_o estate_n be_v by_o the_o deed_n to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o bath_n upon_o failure_n of_o the_o duke_n issue_n male_a only_o so_o that_o his_o daughter_n be_v all_o whole_o debar_v to_o this_o i_o say_v what_o they_o object_n that_o there_o be_v rather_o a_o contradiction_n than_o a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o will_n be_v true_a i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v i_o assure_v you_o in_o that_o which_o the_o defendant_n say_v to_o it_o that_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o will_n be_v mention_v only_o as_o to_o prevent_v the_o descent_n it_o be_v first_o mention_v there_o but_o i_o think_v it_o go_v through_o and_o be_v repeat_v more_o than_o once_o but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v observe_v be_v this_o that_o this_o deed_n do_v confirm_v the_o will_n in_o the_o main_a and_o substantial_a part_n of_o it_o the_o settle_v the_o bulk_n of_o the_o estate_n upon_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n beside_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o deed_n be_v not_o only_o for_o confirm_v the_o will_n of_o 75_o but_o also_o for_o the_o settle_v the_o land_n to_o the_o use_v after_o declare_v and_o if_o it_o do_v not_o confirm_v every_o limitation_n yet_o it_o do_v agree_v in_o the_o substantial_a settlement_n of_o the_o estate_n it_o be_v further_o say_v that_o the_o only_a limitation_n which_o agree_v with_o the_o will_n be_v that_o which_o in_o the_o draught_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n hand-writing_n where_o land_n be_v limit_v to_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n after_o failure_n of_o issue-male_n with_o exclusion_n of_o the_o daughter_n which_o the_o plaintiff_n say_v it_o can_v possible_o be_v imagine_v the_o duke_n ever_o intend_v to_o do_v but_o i_o must_v mention_v what_o answer_v the_o defendant_n give_v to_o it_o they_o say_v the_o duke_n have_v then_o 15000_o l._n a_o year_n and_o he_o make_v a_o intercession_n to_o the_o king_n to_o bestow_v the_o honour_n of_o albemarle_n upon_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n and_o that_o it_o may_v not_o go_v alone_o he_o limit_n 3000l_n a_o year_n upon_o his_o fail_n of_o issue-male_n so_o that_o the_o honour_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o earl_n and_o there_o be_v enough_o leave_v for_o daughter_n now_o if_o their_o valuation_n of_o the_o duke_n estate_n be_v right_a which_o true_o i_o know_v not_o it_o be_v some_o answer_n why_o some_o part_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o the_o earl_n only_o after_o the_o failure_n of_o issue-male_n but_o then_o i_o will_v observe_v too_o the_o deed_n by_o this_o obligation_n do_v confirm_v the_o will_n of_o 75_o and_o that_o will_v also_o affirm_v the_o deed_n if_o the_o will_n of_o 75_o be_v once_o well_o as_o i_o see_v no_o colour_n to_o the_o contrary_a than_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o their_o objection_n from_o the_o duke_n be_v contrary_a intention_n be_v all_o answer_v that_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o give_v he_o his_o estate_n for_o if_o they_o admit_v that_o the_o will_n be_v once_o the_o true_a will_n of_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n then_o there_o be_v once_o a_o apparent_a intention_n in_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n to_o give_v the_o earl_n of_o bath_n the_o bulk_n of_o his_o estate_n if_o he_o die_v without_o issue_n now_o as_o to_o the_o variation_n in_o the_o limitation_n of_o the_o deed_n from_o those_o in_o the_o will_n i_o think_v true_o it_o stand_v indifferent_a as_o to_o one_o side_n or_o other_o for_o here_o be_v the_o distance_n of_o six_o year_n between_o they_o and_o the_o duke_n may_v alter_v his_o mind_n it_o may_v be_v one_o way_n one_o time_n and_o another_o time_n another_o he_o may_v alter_v his_o mind_n as_o to_o his_o daughter_n he_o may_v after_o so_o many_o year_n despair_v of_o issue_n and_o so_o not_o mind_v the_o make_v any_o provision_n for_o they_o he_o may_v change_v his_o mind_n as_o to_o his_o other_o kindred_n and_o

therefore_o may_v in_o these_o particular_n vary_v in_o the_o deed_n from_o the_o will_n of_o 75._o but_o i_o will_v still_o have_v this_o observe_v that_o in_o substance_n they_o do_v agree_v he_o do_v preserve_v the_o same_o favour_n and_o good_a intention_n for_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n to_o give_v he_o his_o estate_n as_o his_o near_a kinsman_n if_o then_o these_o limitation_n in_o the_o deed_n be_v pursuant_n and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o duke_n be_v then_o mind_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o variation_n or_o alteration_n from_o what_o be_v in_o the_o will_n and_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o mind_n then_o i_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o thing_n that_o occur_v in_o this_o case_n and_o which_o seem_v to_o satisfy_v i_o in_o it_o that_o this_o be_v his_o intent_n for_o i_o do_v observe_v that_o one_o thing_n they_o insist_v upon_o to_o show_v it_o be_v by_o surprise_n be_v that_o this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o both_o the_o duke_n of_o albemarle_n and_o the_o constant_a series_n of_o purpose_n in_o the_o family_n and_o they_o undertake_v to_o give_v instance_n of_o it_o the_o defendant_n counsel_v say_v that_o his_o intention_n be_v to_o give_v his_o estate_n to_o the_o earl_n of_o bath_n who_o be_v his_o near_a kinsman_n to_o who_o he_o have_v very_o great_a obligation_n that_o my_o lord_n of_o bath_n be_v concern_v in_o that_o great_a action_n of_o restore_a the_o royal_a family_n which_o be_v the_o raise_v of_o his_o own_o that_o he_o be_v a_o constant_a friend_n of_o duke_n

the_o deed_n express_v and_o what_o be_v otherwise_o prove_v but_o the_o plaintiff_n say_v no_o they_o have_v no_o such_o intention_n neither_o one_o or_o other_o of_o they_o and_o particular_o duke_n christopher_n have_v none_o neither_o before_o the_o make_n of_o this_o deed_n nor_o after_o duke_n george_n he_o make_v his_o will_n in_o june_n 1665_o wherein_o he_o give_v all_o his_o real_a and_o

not_o satisfy_v with_o the_o plaintiff_n objection_n or_o proof_n of_o his_o never_o intend_v to_o give_v my_o lord_n of_o bath_n his_o estate_n first_o as_o i_o say_v duke_n george_n will_n be_v

at_o that_o time_n they_o say_v he_o be_v but_o a_o minor_a of_o 20_o year_n of_o age_n and_o it_o be_v only_o to_o dispose_v of_o his_o personal_a estate_n for_o as_o to_o his_o land_n if_o he_o

this_o court_n and_o in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n before_o it_o come_v to_o a_o resolution_n and_o result_n i_o shall_v put_v the_o case_n in_o short_a as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o court_n mr._n roberts_n son_n to_o the_o late_a earl_n of_o radnor_n marry_v the_o daughter_n of_o mr._n bodmin_n bodmin_n have_v make_v a_o will_n and_o give_v his_o land_n to_o the_o child_n of_o his_o daughter_n

most_o plain_o appear_v in_o the_o deposition_n of_o this_o case_n that_o this_o will_n be_v obtain_v by_o great_a fraud_n and_o circumvention_n that_o be_v wynne_n get_v into_o his_o acquaintance_n by_o pretence_n of_o some_o little_a office_n of_o friendship_n and_o kindness_n he_o get_v he_o away_o from_o his_o friend_n and_o relation_n and_o during_o his_o sickness_n he_o do_v by_o false_a

of_o the_o heir_n at_o law_n who_o have_v never_o offend_v or_o give_v he_o any_o cause_n to_o disinherit_v she_o so_o the_o will_n be_v dismiss_v but_o the_o party_n complain_v in_o parliament_n be_v

find_v none_o this_o be_v so_o great_a a_o authority_n and_o do_v show_v the_o wariness_n of_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n that_o i_o think_v none_o can_v be_v great_a equity_n will_v not_o relieve_v
