you_o conceive_v there_o be_v no_o weight_n at_o all_o in_o it_o whereof_o i_o be_o so_o sensible_a that_o i_o conceive_v it_o not_o evince_v nor_o do_v those_o ancient_a historian_n take_v upon_o they_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o child_n of_o earl_n hugh_n but_o only_o of_o the_o heir_n of_o randle_n blundevill_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v this_o reason_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o my_o first_o reason_n my_o reply_n i_o do_v confess_v i_o urge_v it_o but_o for_o a_o probable_a reason_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v it_o be_v as_o strong_a as_o the_o first_o reason_n then_o you_o may_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v answer_v the_o first_o better_a whereunto_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o have_v make_v no_o substantial_a answer_n as_o yet_o wherein_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o indifferent_a and_o judicious_a reader_n who_o shall_v read_v this_o book_n and_o for_o the_o probability_n of_o this_o you_o say_v that_o the_o historian_n take_v not_o upon_o they_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o earl_n child_n but_o the_o heir_n of_o randle_n but_o do_v you_o find_v that_o they_o have_v leave_v out_o any_o of_o his_o legitimate_a child_n except_o this_o who_o you_o suppose_v legitimate_a and_o then_o you_o tell_v i_o mr._n cambden_n have_v mention_v amicia_n though_o not_o among_o the_o coheir_n yet_o without_o the_o brand_n of_o a_o bastard_n you_o know_v well_o he_o be_v but_o of_o very_o late_o stand_v and_o not_o a_o historian_n contemporary_a with_o amicia_n and_o so_o you_o and_o i_o do_v now_o mention_v she_o and_o then_o you_o tell_v i_o over_o again_o which_o i_o have_v before_o answer_v that_o those_o judge_n and_o herald_n that_o have_v see_v your_o deed_n of_o which_o i_o have_v hear_v but_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o yet_o know_v not_o who_o they_o be_v nor_o ever_o see_v any_o thing_n attest_v under_o any_o of_o their_o hand_n nor_o their_o reason_n nor_o ground_n for_o their_o opinion_n and_o you_o mention_v mr._n dugdale_n in_o particular_a for_o who_o i_o have_v ever_o have_v a_o great_a esteem_n as_o a_o diligent_a searcher_n of_o antiquity_n all_o which_o you_o again_o and_o again_o affirm_v to_o be_v of_o your_o opinion_n that_o amicia_n be_v legitimate_a but_o because_o i_o have_v before_o speak_v of_o this_o supra_fw-la pag._n 10_o 11._o i_o shall_v only_o ask_v here_o what_o weight_n can_v be_v draw_v from_o this_o some_o

person_n you_o mention_v never_o hear_v what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v against_o that_o opinion_n whereas_o it_o be_v but_o equal_a that_o in_o consultation_n of_o opinion_n both_o side_n shall_v show_v

often_o tell_v you_o i_o will_v have_v you_o confute_v i_o with_o reason_n not_o opinion_n for_o one_o man_n may_v be_v of_o one_o opinion_n and_o another_o man_n of_o another_o opinion_n but_o it_o

this_o i_o say_v it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a at_o all_o to_o give_v a_o reason_n and_o much_o more_o easy_a then_o to_o give_v a_o reason_n why_o amice_fw-la shall_v be_v no_o bastard_n because_o sir_n ralph_n manwaringe_n be_v sometime_o subscribe_v before_o the_o baron_n of_o cheshire_n the_o reason_n i_o give_v be_v this_o that_o ancient_o in_o those_o age_n the_o justice_n be_v

here_o be_v many_o strong_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o you_o be_v now_o to_o answer_v the_o argument_n in_o hand_n and_o for_o your_o assert_v that_o my_o prove_v she_o be_v not_o by_o

pass_v by_o the_o deed_n though_o she_o be_v a_o bastard_n because_o hereby_o she_o be_v own_v to_o be_v of_o his_o kindred_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o land_n have_v pass_v in_o libero_fw-la

his_o inheritance_n than_o roger_n have_v a_o wife_n but_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o roger_n succeed_v by_o descent_n in_o his_o inheritance_n this_o be_v apparent_a by_o the_o enjoyment_n thereof_o from_o heir_n to_o heir_n ergo_fw-la roger_n have_v a_o wife_n if_o you_o deny_v the_o sequel_n of_o the_o major_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o no_o bastard_n can_v succeed_v in_o the_o inheritance_n without_o a_o special_a settlement_n ergo_fw-la if_o the_o son_n and_o heir_n of_o roger_n succeed_v by_o descent_n in_o the_o inheritance_n than_o roger_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o

where_o you_o have_v as_o oft_o be_v tell_v that_o land_n in_o those_o former_a age_n do_v pass_v to_o bastard_n in_o libero_fw-la maritagio_fw-la whereof_o i_o have_v give_v you_o one_o precedent_n
