just_a defence_n which_o be_v not_o do_v at_o the_o former_a hear_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o infancy_n and_o his_o mother_n inability_n the_o court_n on_o long_a debate_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o hear_v the_o proof_n read_v and_o what_o can_v be_v allege_v on_o either_o side_n see_v no_o cause_n to_o give_v the_o petitioner_n any_o relief_n but_o discharge_v the_o former_a decree_n and_o dismiss_v the_o bill_n with_o cost_v which_o be_v enroll_v as_o by_o the_o order_n and_o proceed_n may_v appear_v and_o this_o respondent_fw-la do_v humble_o insist_v that_o the_o say_a dismission_n be_v just_a and_o regular_n and_o the_o former_a decree_n unjust_a and_o erroneous_a and_o that_o if_o the_o matter_n insist_v on_o at_o the_o last_o hear_n have_v be_v observe_v to_o the_o court_n on_o the_o former_a hear_n they_o will_v then_o have_v dismiss_v the_o bill_n as_o this_o respondent_fw-la be_v advise_v and_o this_o respondent_fw-la farther_z say_v that_o he_o have_v twice_o recover_v at_o law_n upon_o full_a evidence_n on_o both_o side_n the_o say_v customary_a and_o copyhold_n land_n and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o freehold_a as_o be_v purchase_v by_o the_o say_v

respondent_fw-la be_v also_o advise_v wherefore_o and_o for_o that_o the_o first_o decree_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o only_o unless_o this_o respondent_fw-la shall_v upon_o his_o attain_v his_o age_n show_v cause_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o upon_o this_o respondent_n show_v cause_n be_v discharge_v and_o that_o upon_o good_a ground_n and_o just_a cause_n he_o humble_o hope_v your_o lordship_n will_v be_v please_v to_o dismiss_v the_o petition_n and_o confirm_v the_o say_a dismission_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n i._o for_o that_o the_o first_o decree_n as_o well_o as_o this_o petition_n be_v beyond_o the_o bill_n which_o seek_v only_o a_o estate-tayle_n in_o all_o the_o land_n as_o well_o what_o be_v in_o the_o pretend_a settlement_n as_o what_o be_v afterward_o purchase_v and_o yet_o by_o the_o decree_n the_o petitioner_n be_v to_o have_v the_o land_n not_o in_o the_o settlement_n in_o fee_n ii_o for_o that_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o decree_n that_o nicholas_n who_o be_v suppose_v to_o agree_v to_o confirm_v his_o father_n be_v pretend_v settlement_n be_v thereby_o but_o tenant_n for_o life_n so_o that_o if_o that_o be_v a_o good_a settlement_n it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o power_n to_o confirm_v it_o or_o to_o do_v any_o act_n to_o prejudice_v his_o next_o brother_n right_a iii_o for_o that_o by_o the_o bill_n and_o proof_n it_o appear_v nicholas_n be_v to_o be_v tenant_n in_o tail_n before_o the_o petitioner_n who_o remainder_n may_v have_v be_v bar_v by_o nicholas_n suffering_n a_o recovery_n iv_o for_o that_o a_o heir_n at_o law_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v disinherit_v by_o uncertain_a parol_n discourse_n without_o write_v much_o less_o when_o neither_o the_o petitioner_n nor_o his_o witness_n agree_v what_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o discourse_n be_v but_o contradict_v themselves_o and_o each_o other_o v._o
