A51562	A reply to an answer to the Defence of Amicia, daughter of Hugh Cyveliok, Earl of Chester wherein it is proved, that the reasons alleadged by Sir Peter Leicester, in his former book, and also in his said answer, concerning the illegitimacy of the said Amicia, are invalid, and of no weight at all / by Sir Thomas Mainwaring ...	Mainwaring, Thomas, Sir, 1623-1689.	1673 (1673)	Wing M303; ESTC R10002	39,045	108

capable_a to_o be_v a_o witness_n either_o for_o or_o against_o her_o husband_n whereby_o you_o will_v insinuate_v a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n in_o that_o particular_a from_o what_o it_o be_v

de_fw-fr audley_n be_v a_o witness_n to_o the_o deed_n of_o randle_n earl_n of_o chester_n and_o lincoln_n and_o of_o robert_n de_fw-fr ferrars_n which_o late_a you_o say_v be_v far_o fetch_v nor_o

that_o the_o law_n be_v still_o the_o same_o as_o it_o be_v former_o in_o the_o particular_a by_o you_o here_o mention_v for_o both_o ancient_o and_o at_o this_o day_n also_o i_o know_v nothing_o that_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o wife_n may_v subscribe_v as_o a_o witness_n to_o a_o deed_n which_o her_o husband_n do_v make_v and_o though_o she_o neither_o ancient_o can_v nor_o yet_o can_v be_v a_o witness_n for_o or_o against_o her_o husband_n yet_o there_o be_v this_o use_n of_o it_o that_o if_o the_o wife_n survive_v her_o husband_n and_o it_o come_v to_o be_v controvert_v among_o other_o party_n whether_o such_o a_o deed_n be_v seal_v by_o he_o or_o not_o she_o in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o widowhood_n may_v be_v a_o good_a witness_n for_o the_o prove_v of_o the_o same_o and_o as_o to_o the_o call_n of_o sir_n ralph_n mainwaring_n daughter_n by_o the_o name_n of_o bertred_n after_o the_o present_a countess_n and_o not_o after_o the_o name_n of_o hugh_n cyveliok_n first_o wife_n that_o be_v no_o wonder_n at_o all_o it_o be_v more_o ordinary_a to_o call_v daughter_n after_o their_o godmother_n name_n than_o after_o the_o name_n of_o their_o own_o grandmother_n and_o especial_o when_o the_o godmother_n be_v of_o great_a quality_n now_o the_o say_a amicia_n daughter_n be_v call_v bertred_n which_o be_v a_o very_a unusual_a name_n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a according_a to_o what_o you_o express_v to_o i_o under_o your_o hand_n in_o april_n 1664._o that_o bertred_n the_o countess_n be_v godmother_n to_o the_o say_v bertred_n mainwaring_n and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o amicia_n be_v illegitimate_a for_o wife_n be_v seldom_o godmother_n to_o their_o husband_n bastard_n or_o to_o the_o child_n of_o such_o bastard_n also_o sir_n ralph_n mainwaring_n and_o sir_n roger_n mainwaring_n and_o henry_n de_fw-fr audley_n the_o sou-in-law_n of_o the_o say_a sir_n ralph_n mainwaring_n be_v so_o often_o witness_n to_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o earl_n of_o chester_n and_o to_o the_o deed_n of_o their_o very_a near_a relation_n do_v certain_o show_v there_o be_v then_o a_o very_a great_a and_o constant_a intimacy_n betwixt_o the_o say_a family_n and_o though_o you_o pretend_v that_o sir_n ralph_n mainwaring_n be_v very_o conversant_a with_o the_o earl_n because_o he_o be_v judge_n and_o therefore_o come_v so_o often_o to_o be_v a_o witness_n and_o say_v that_o we_o may_v find_v the_o like_a number_n of_o charter_n or_o more_o to_o which_o philip_n orreby_n judge_n of_o chester_n be_v witness_v in_o like_a nature_n i_o conceive_v that_o you_o be_v deceive_v therein_o although_o philip_n orreby_n be_v judge_n of_o chester_n perhaps_o long_o than_o sir_n ralph_n mainwaring_n be_v for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o i_o can_v make_v it_o to_o appear_v by_o what_o deed_n i_o have_v and_o what_o deed_n i_o have_v see_v of_o other_o that_o sir_n ralph_n maeinwaring_n and_o his_o son_n sir_n roger_n mainwaring_n be_v witness_n to_o more_o deed_n of_o hugh_n cyveliok_n and_o randle_n blundevil_n than_o any_o other_o person_n of_o any_o one_o family_n be_v add_v hereunto_o which_o i_o have_v in_o my_o former_a book_n mention_v that_o sir_n roger_n mainwaring_n in_o a_o deed_n of_o his_o own_o call_v randle_n earl_n of_o chester_n and_o lincoln_n his_o uncle_n and_o how_o i_o do_v there_o observe_v that_o though_o the_o writer_n of_o history_n do_v sometime_o give_v to_o bastard_n the_o name_n of_o cousin_n brother_n uncle_n son_n and_o daughter_n i_o do_v believe_v you_o can_v hardly_o find_v any_o one_o that_o you_o can_v certain_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o bastard_n or_o the_o son_n of_o a_o bastard_n that_o do_v presume_v in_o a_o deed_n to_o call_v so_o great_a a_o person_n as_o the_o earl_n of_o chester_n be_v his_o brother_n or_o uncle_n unless_o he_o come_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a person_n himself_o and_o this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o in_o the_o 53_o page_n you_o be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o such_o precedent_n be_v scant_o but_o yet_o you_o think_v you_o have_v find_v one_o viz._n randle_n de_fw-fr estbury_n or_o astbury_n who_o in_o a_o deed_n mention_v in_o the_o addenda_fw-la of_o your_o historical_a antiquity_n be_v call_v the_o earl_n of_o chester_n be_v nephew_n and_o be_v put_v the_o last_o of_o all_o the_o witness_n and_o be_v certain_o but_o a_o ordinary_a gentleman_n nor_o knight_n nor_o lord_n but_o this_o precedent_n will_v fail_v you_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o you_o do_v as_o good_a as_o confess_v that_o you_o can_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o bastard_n and_o he_o may_v perhaps_o be_v a_o young_a brother_n or_o son_n of_o a_o young_a brother_n and_o so_o not_o necessary_o a_o knight_n or_o a_o lord_n and_o second_o because_o he_o do_v not_o call_v himself_o the_o earl_n nephew_n but_o be_v call_v so_o by_o other_o and_o that_o be_v so_o far_o from_o contradict_v that_o it_o do_v confirm_v what_o i_o say_v in_o my_o former_a book_n also_o if_o you_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v no_o witness_n to_o the_o say_a deed_n beside_o the_o say_a randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n except_o david_n de_fw-fr malpas_n who_o i_o conceive_v be_v baron_n of_o malpas_n and_o william_n his_o son_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v glad_a to_o find_v out_o the_o extraction_n of_o the_o say_v randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n if_o he_o be_v not_o a_o bastard_n though_o it_o be_v perhaps_o impossible_a now_o to_o tell_v you_o his_o extraction_n certain_o because_o he_o live_v so_o long_o since_o and_o we_o only_o find_v he_o mention_v as_o a_o witness_n in_o one_o deed_n yet_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o to_o satisfy_v the_o reader_n that_o he_o and_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n may_v all_o be_v legitimate_a for_o not_o to_o say_v that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o son_n of_o some_o other_o daughter_n of_o the_o say_v hugh_n cyveliok_v by_o his_o former_a wife_n he_o may_v possible_o be_v the_o son_n of_o roger_n son_n of_o hugh_n cyveliok_v and_o i_o know_v no_o great_a reason_n why_o the_o say_v roger_n shall_v by_o you_o be_v suspect_v to_o be_v a_o bastard_n for_o you_o only_o find_v he_o as_o appear_v by_o your_o historical_a antiquity_n p._n 134._o and_o in_o my_o first_o book_n p._n 1_o mention_v as_o a_o witness_n to_o a_o deed_n of_o his_o brother_n randle_n be_v to_o the_o abbey_n of_o saint_n werburge_n so_o that_o you_o conceive_v he_o to_o be_v a_o bastard_n because_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o issue-male_a of_o his_o succeed_v in_o the_o earldom_n of_o chester_n after_o the_o death_n of_o randle_n blundevil_n whereas_o the_o say_v roger_n may_v be_v lawful_a and_o be_v father_n to_o this_o randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n and_o yet_o both_o he_o and_o the_o say_v randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n may_v die_v before_o the_o say_a randle_n the_o blundevil_n for_o he_o live_v very_o long_o and_o be_v earl_n of_o chester_n above_o fifty_o year_n also_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a if_o amicia_n be_v a_o bastard_n and_o the_o father_n or_o mother_n of_o the_o say_v randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n be_v also_o a_o bastard_n that_o those_o bastard_n can_v find_v none_o to_o call_v their_o child_n after_o but_o the_o than_o countess_n and_o the_o than_o earl_n for_o the_o daughter_n of_o amicia_n be_v call_v bertred_n after_o randle_n blundevill_n mother_n and_o randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n be_v of_o the_o same_o name_n with_o the_o say_a earl_n but_o admit_v that_o the_o say_v roger_n be_v a_o bastard_n why_o may_v not_o randle_n de_fw-fr astbury_n however_o be_v his_o son_n and_o then_o what_o necessity_n of_o what_o you_o say_v in_o your_o addenda_fw-la of_o either_o find_v out_o another_o base_a son_n or_o another_o base_a daughter_n of_o the_o say_v hugh_n cyveliok_v but_o you_o have_v
