so_o you_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v at_o all_o surprise_v therein_o but_o that_o when_o it_o be_v execute_v it_o be_v according_a to_o that_o design_n and_o purpose_n next_o sir_n

particular_o to_o advise_v with_o be_v by_o at_o the_o execution_n and_o a_o witness_n to_o it_o be_v to_o say_v a_o man_n be_v surprise_v when_o he_o have_v the_o advice_n of_o counsel_n about_o it_o and_o they_o be_v at_o his_o elbow_n at_o the_o execute_n of_o it_o now_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o to_o seek_v and_o do_v not_o well_o know_v what_o be_v a_o fraud_n in_o equity_n that_o shall_v avoid_v a_o deed_n which_o be_v a_o good_a deed_n at_o law_n the_o case_n of_o bodmin_n and_o wynne_n and_o roberts_n mention_v by_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n and_o my_o bother_n powell_n that_o speak_v the_o last_o day_n this_o cause_n come_v on_o be_v i_o think_v a_o case_n of_o great_a authority_n in_o a_o court_n of_o equity_n because_o it_o have_v a_o great_a transaction_n both_o in_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 story_n withdraw_v his_o affection_n from_o his_o daughter_n keep_v he_o in_o secret_a place_n that_o no_o friend_n may_v come_v at_o he_o and_o while_o he_o be_v so_o secrete_v and_o wrought_v upon_o be_v this_o last_o will_n make_v whereby_o he_o give_v his_o estate_n away_o from_o his_o child_n to_o a_o stranger_n all_o these_o piece_n of_o practice_n be_v apparent_a before_o the_o court_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o this_o cause_n which_o be_v hear_v by_o my_o lord_n clarendon_n assist_v by_o who_o all_o unanimous_o declare_v that_o this_o be_v a_o will_n obtain_v by_o fraud_n and_o by_o

case_n thereupon_o for_o difficulty_n there_o be_v advice_n take_v about_o it_o in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o there_o upon_o consideration_n be_v a_o order_n make_v by_o way_n of_o advice_n to_o the_o lord_n chancellor_n that_o he_o shall_v proceed_v to_o do_v justice_n to_o either_o party_n though_o there_o be_v no_o precedent_n find_v to_o govern_v the_o judgement_n afterward_o this_o cause_n come_v to_o be_v hear_v again_o 12_o june_n 1666_o when_o my_o lord_n chancellor_n be_v assist_v by_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n bridgman_n my_o lord_n chief_a baron_n hales_n and_o mr._n

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

to_o bequeath_v i_o a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o estate_n but_o you_o may_v be_v prevail_v with_o on_o a_o sudden_a or_o by_o some_o artifice_n or_o other_o to_o alter_v this_o will_n of_o you_o and_o you_o may_v be_v surprise_v into_o the_o do_n of_o it_o pray_v will_v you_o make_v a_o more_o solemn_a settlement_n to_o confirm_v this_o kindness_n by_o a_o deed_n and_o have_v prevail_v to_o

may_v prudent_o do_v it_o but_o i_o say_v i_o find_v not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o in_o this_o case_n but_o this_o deed_n be_v fair_o obtain_v from_o the_o duke_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o the_o

seem_v a_o hard_a demand_n for_o a_o voluntary_a devise_n to_o crave_v relief_n against_o a_o prior_n settlement_n with_o a_o power_n of_o revocation_n because_o he_o that_o make_v that_o settlement_n
