of_o the_o young_a son_n the_o daughter_n of_o the_o elder_a brother_n or_o uncle_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o son_n of_o the_o young_a the_o uncle_n nay_o the_o great_a uncle_n or_o great_a

of_o the_o brother_n because_o both_o derive_v from_o the_o same_o parent_n the_o common_a fountain_n of_o both_o their_o blood_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o father_n be_v at_o this_o day_n
