bastard_n now_o ergo_fw-la it_o be_v so_o take_v in_o glanvil_n time_n but_o i_o have_v give_v you_o many_o reason_n why_o the_o law_n be_v take_v in_o the_o time_n of_o glanvill_n in_o the_o point_n

indeed_o you_o do_v not_o only_o want_v proof_n to_o make_v good_a what_o you_o here_o say_v but_o i_o have_v former_o bring_v proof_n of_o the_o contrary_a from_o sir_n henry_n spelman_n who_o in_o his_o glossary_n on_o the_o word_n bastardus_n say_v quoties_fw-la enim_fw-la agitur_fw-la de_fw-la honore_fw-la vel_fw-la commodo_fw-la filiorum_fw-la appellatione_fw-la siliorum_fw-la non_fw-la comprehenduntur_fw-la bastardi_fw-la and_o as_o to_o what_o you_o affirm_v that_o bastard_n be_v of_o the_o blood_n both_o now_o and_o in_o former_a age_n though_o the_o law_n will_v not_o allow_v they_o so_o because_o they_o now_o be_v esteem_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o law_n quasi_fw-la nullius_fw-la filius_fw-la for_o if_o a._n have_v a_o bastard_n son_n or_o daughter_n which_o be_v real_o he_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o his_o blood_n for_o no_o law_n can_v extinguish_v nature_n though_o by_o common_a law_n they_o be_v not_o now_o esteem_v so_o there_o be_v no_o force_n in_o what_o you_o so_o say_v because_o in_o this_o case_n child_n be_v look_v at_o as_o they_o be_v in_o law_n and_o not_o as_o they_o be_v real_o because_o it_o can_v be_v know_v what_o they_o be_v real_o and_o therefore_o if_o a._n have_v a_o bastard_n child_n which_o be_v real_o he_o yet_o it_o shall_v not_o inherit_v because_o it_o be_v in_o law_n nullius_fw-la filius_fw-la and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o a._n have_v a_o wife_n who_o do_v play_v false_a with_o he_o and_o have_v a_o child_n beget_v of_o her_o body_n by_o another_o man_n yet_o this_o child_n shall_v inherit_v because_o it_o be_v in_o law_n the_o child_n of_o a._n and_o whereas_o you_o also_o ask_v the_o question_n what_o if_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o in_o the_o deed_n of_o those_o elder_a age_n they_o be_v call_v daughter_n without_o any_o addition_n of_o bastard_n whereby_o the_o party_n own_v they_o to_o be_v of_o their_o blood_n be_v that_o the_o land_n pass_v in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la with_o such_o may_v descend_v to_o their_o heir_n for_o our_o lawyer_n now_o tell_v we_o that_o bastard_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v land_n after_o they_o have_v gain_v a_o name_n by_o reputation_n why_o may_v not_o then_o bastard_n have_v gain_v the_o name_n of_o daughter_n receive_v a_o grant_n from_o their_o own_a father_n either_o in_o frankmarriage_n or_o otherways_o your_o question_n will_v be_v easy_o answer_v because_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o gift_n in_o free-marriage_n be_v the_o blood_n that_o be_v betwixt_o the_o donour_n and_o that_o donee_n with_o who_o the_o land_n be_v give_v but_o a_o bastard_n be_v not_o the_o sanguine_a patris_fw-la dyer_n fol._n 374._o b._n and_o the_o call_n of_o any_o person_n daughter_n who_o be_v not_o so_o in_o law_n will_v not_o make_v she_o of_o the_o blood_n for_o if_o that_o will_v serve_v a_o man_n may_v call_v any_o other_o woman_n his_o daughter_n that_o be_v not_o so_o and_o then_o give_v land_n with_o she_o in_o frankmarriage_n beside_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v such_o trick_n as_o these_o be_v use_v which_o will_v not_o hold_v when_o though_o a_o man_n can_v give_v

those_o place_n do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o common-law_n at_o this_o day_n do_v vary_v from_o what_o it_o be_v in_o former_a age_n in_o any_o particular_a but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v take_v to_o be_v otherways_o in_o those_o day_n and_o that_o it_o be_v but_o just_a like_o some_o case_n in_o our_o report_n which_o have_v at_o several_a time_n be_v adjudge_v direct_o contrary_a to_o each_o other_o but_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o common-law_n be_v still_o the_o same_o and_o that_o i_o may_v come_v as_o near_o you_o as_o i_o can_v i_o do_v then_o acknowledge_v that_o though_o the_o common-law_n be_v ever_o the_o same_o where_o not_o alter_v by_o parliament_n yet_o in_o former_a age_n they_o do_v in_o some_o particular_n take_v the_o law_n to_o be_v otherways_o than_o they_o now_o do_v and_o i_o do_v also_o acknowledge_v that_o if_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o former_o in_o this_o case_n of_o frankmarriage_n that_o it_o will_v have_v take_v off_o much_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n from_o the_o word_n in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la because_o that_o ancient_a deed_n and_o grant_n according_a to_o what_o my_o lord_n coke_n on_o littleton_n say_v fol_z 8._o b._n at_o the_o bottom_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v as_o the_o law_n be_v take_v to_o be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o grant_n now_o these_o place_n which_o you_o allege_v do_v not_o prove_v a_o change_n of_o the_o common-law_n in_o any_o particular_a other_o than_o by_o statute_n but_o only_o that_o the_o law_n be_v sometime_o different_o take_v in_o one_o age_n from_o what_o it_o be_v in_o another_o age_n for_o in_o your_o 24_o page_n where_o you_o cite_v coke_n upon_o littleton_n fol._n 34._o sect._n 39_o you_o do_v not_o there_o say_v that_o my_o lord_n coke_n

where_o you_o again_o cite_v coke_n upon_o littleton_n fol._n 8._o a._n towards_o the_o bottom_n you_o bring_v he_o in_o say_v that_o of_o ancient_a time_n the_o heir_n be_v permit_v to_o have_v a_o action_n of_o debt_n upon_o a_o bond_n make_v to_o his_o ancestor_n and_o his_o heir_n but_o the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o at_o this_o day_n but_o my_o lord_n coke_n do_v not_o say_v as_o you_o do_v viz._n that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o at_o this_o day_n but_o that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o hold_v at_o this_o day_n so_o that_o he_o still_o avoid_v the_o expression_n of_o the_o law_n be_v

case_n of_o piers_n de_fw-fr saltmarsh_n and_o other_o it_o be_v judge_v in_o king_n edward_n the_o three_o time_n and_o in_o king_n edward_n the_o fourths_o time_n that_o a_o man_n may_v give_v

this_o point_n be_v judge_v thus_o different_o the_o law_n be_v still_o the_o same_o and_o all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v be_v that_o some_o of_o the_o judge_n do_v not_o judge_v right_a according_a to_o the_o common-law_n and_o indeed_o if_o this_o rule_n of_o you_o be_v true_a that_o because_o the_o judge_n in_o one_o age_n do_v take_v the_o common-law_n to_o be_v otherways_o than_o it_o be_v

will_v ever_o be_v legal_a the_o absurdity_n whereof_o every_o one_o may_v easy_o discern_v what_o you_o say_v page_n 27_o 28_o 29_o 30_o and_o 31._o to_o all_o those_o reason_n which_o i_o do_v give_v to_o show_v that_o whensoever_o the_o word_n mulier_fw-la be_v use_v in_o the_o case_n of_o frankmarriage_n it_o shall_v by_o common-intendment_n be_v understand_v of_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v of_o the_o kindred_n will_n i_o believe_v give_v no_o know_v person_n any_o satisfaction_n at_o all_o for_o though_o you_o pretend_v yourself_o to_o be_v very_o pleasant_a when_o you_o say_v you_o have_v seldom_o know_v nor_o you_o believe_v any_o other_o any_o such_o question_n as_o this_o whether_o hugh_n cyveliok_v have_v a_o former_a wife_n to_o be_v prove_v by_o argument_n of_o scripture_n

discern_v that_o i_o do_v not_o bring_v that_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o hugh_n cyveliok_v have_v a_o former_a wife_n but_o that_o i_o make_v use_v of_o it_o by_o way_n of_o answer_n to_o take_v off_o what_o you_o have_v allege_v and_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o doubt_n but_o that_o text_n will_v full_o satisfy_v that_o all_o expression_n which_o seem_v universal_a be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v expound_v without_o any_o limitation_n at_o all_o but_o as_o you_o will_v extend_v that_o expression_n of_o glanvill_n too_o far_o so_o you_o run_v to_o the_o other_o extreme_a concern_v this_o of_o deuteronomy_n 14.26_o and_o will_v restrain_v these_o word_n or_o for_o whatsoever_o thy_o soul_n desire_v only_o to_o those_o thing_n there_o mention_v viz._n ox_n sheep_n wine_n and_o strong_a drink_n which_o will_v be_v a_o tautology_n and_o several_a time_n in_o the_o same_o verse_n give_v they_o liberty_n to_o make_v use_n of_o ox_n sheep_n wine_n or_o strong_a drink_n whereas_o undoubted_o the_o jew_n at_o their_o say_a feast_n have_v also_o liberty_n to_o eat_v the_o goat_n the_o hart_n roebuck_n fallow_a deer_n wild_a goat_n pigarg_n wild_a ox_n the_o chamois_n as_o also_o all_o clean_a fowl_n fish_n and_o other_o clean_a meat_n whatsoever_o allow_v they_o by_o their_o law_n and_o therefore_o this_o expression_n be_v as_o universal_a as_o that_o of_o glanvill_n and_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v expound_v so_o as_o to_o agree_v with_o the_o law_n of_o that_o kingdom_n why_o shall_v not_o this_o seem_a universal_a expression_n of_o glanvill_n

whatsoever_o thy_o soul_n desire_v and_o yet_o you_o confess_v it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v without_o some_o limitation_n and_o indeed_o you_o restrain_v it_o more_o than_o i_o do_v and_o
