to_o his_o grace_n his_o majesty_n high_a commissioner_n and_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o estate_n of_o parliament_n marry_o countess_n of_o callender_n and_o her_o husband_n for_o his_o interest_n humble_o show_v that_o where_o i_o be_v convene_v before_o the_o lord_n of_o their_o majesty_n privy_a council_n at_o the_o instance_n of_o james_n now_o earl_n of_o callender_n and_o the_o earl_n of_o linlithgow_n and_o his_o other_o tutor_n for_o their_o interest_n he_o obtain_v against_o i_o the_o modification_n of_o one_o thousand_o pound_n scot_n of_o aliment_n yearly_o to_o be_v pay_v to_o he_o out_o of_o my_o jointure_n wherein_o i_o be_v secure_v by_o all_o the_o security_n that_o law_n can_v make_v i_o by_o which_o sentence_n be_v great_o grieve_v i_o can_v but_o lay_v before_o this_o high_a and_o honourable_a court_n of_o parliament_n the_o many_z and_o strong_a reason_n that_o i_o offer_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o majesty_n privy_a council_n in_o my_o own_o defence_n as_o first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o press_a necessity_n for_o any_o aliment_n since_o the_o earl_n mother_n have_v give_v he_o a_o thousand_o mark_n yearly_a as_o be_v acknowledge_v and_o he_o be_v but_o a_o infant_n who_o such_o a_o sum_n in_o his_o circumstance_n may_v very_o well_o serve_v 2._o the_o necessity_n be_v take_v off_o and_o this_o question_n of_o aliment_n dip_v visible_o upon_o the_o point_n of_o civil_a right_n it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o the_o pursuit_n be_v more_o proper_a to_o be_v intent_a before_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n than_o before_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n who_o be_v not_o in_o use_n to_o receive_v complaint_n of_o that_o kind_n except_o where_o the_o necessity_n be_v urge_v as_o a_o matter_n that_o admit_v of_o no_o delay_n which_o can_v not_o be_v allege_v in_o this_o case_n but_o 3._o to_o show_v that_o your_o petitioner_n desire_v no_o delay_n but_o a_o fair_a discussion_n in_o point_n of_o right_n i_o offer_v to_o consent_v that_o the_o matter_n shall_v be_v summary_o discuss_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o session_n 4._o to_o come_v close_o to_o the_o case_n itself_o i_o do_v contend_v that_o the_o ordinary_a motive_n of_o equity_n for_o give_v the_o heir_n a_fw-fr aliment_n against_o the_o liferenter_fw-la do_v whole_o cease_v in_o my_o case_n in_o as_o much_o as_o i_o be_o nothing_o in_o blood_n to_o this_o earl_n of_o callender_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o lineal_o descend_v of_o i_o nor_o be_v the_o debt_n that_o straitnes_n he_o either_o my_o husband_n or_o his_o predecessor_n debt_n but_o on_o the_o contratrary_a debt_n contract_v by_o his_o father_n after_o my_o husband_n decease_n and_o that_o i_o be_v possess_v of_o my_o jointure_n so_o that_o to_o burden_v i_o with_o a_o aliment_n in_o this_o earl_n favour_n where_o there_o be_v neither_o tie_n of_o blood_n nor_o the_o least_o colour_n of_o equity_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o my_o husband_n debt_n be_v a_o case_n whole_o unprefident_v but_o 5._o as_o i_o true_o be_o a_o stranger_n to_o the_o family_n in_o blood_n though_o never_o in_o kindness_n so_o any_o jointure_n i_o have_v be_v most_o onerous_o purchase_v by_o the_o portion_n i_o bring_v with_o i_o which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o 38000_o pound_n scot_n and_o for_o which_o all_o the_o jointure_n be_v but_o about_o 8000_o mark_n yearly_a which_o be_v the_o least_o that_o a_o person_n of_o my_o quality_n can_v live_v upon_o and_o the_o same_o can_v admit_v of_o no_o deduction_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o take_v a_o aliment_n off_o i_o than_o of_o any_o other_o singular_a successor_n 6._o in_o a_o agreement_n with_o this_o earl_n father_n i_o get_v from_o he_o a_o ratification_n of_o my_o jointure_n with_o a_o express_a reunnciation_n of_o all_o claim_n of_o aliment_n which_o in_o sense_n and_o reason_n seem_v effectual_o to_o exclude_v this_o earl_n who_o be_v his_o son_n and_o heir_n 7._o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o be_o in_o effect_n no_o more_o liable_a to_o a_o aliment_n to_o this_o earl_n of_o callender_n than_o if_o by_o his_o own_o debt_n and_o mismanagement_n he_o have_v bring_v himself_o to_o this_o necessity_n which_o no_o person_n will_v or_o can_v say_v shall_v ever_o be_v a_o straight_a upon_o i_o for_o as_o to_o i_o this_o earl_n and_o his_o father_n be_v both_o the_o same_o person_n and_o the_o father_n debt_n do_v now_o straiten_v his_o son_n it_o be_v never_o my_o husband_n debt_n but_o contract_v after_o his_o death_n and_o my_o possession_n of_o my_o jointure_n and_o far_o this_o claim_n of_o aliment_n be_v renunce_v by_o the_o father_n so_o that_o on_o all_o these_o consideration_n it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o i_o can_v be_v no_o more_o oblige_v to_o aliment_n this_o earl_n then_o if_o he_o have_v bring_v himself_o to_o this_o distress_n by_o his_o own_o mismanagment_n and_o extravagancie_n which_o no_o rational_a man_n will_v allege_v see_v therefore_o that_o my_o case_n be_v so_o singular_a and_o my_o defence_n be_v so_o strong_a and_o that_o notwithstanding_o i_o clear_o prove_v every_o point_n that_o i_o allege_v in_o matter_n of_o fact_n it_o be_v yet_o cast_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o council_n sentence_n i_o can_v but_o in_o all_o humility_n address_v myself_o to_o this_o high_a and_o sovereign_a court_n as_o the_o only_a court_n and_o power_n where_o any_o help_n or_o remedy_n may_v be_v find_v my_o it_o therefore_o please_v your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n in_o consideration_n of_o the_o premise_n to_o suspend_v the_o foresay_a sentence_n of_o council_n and_o all_o further_a execution_n upon_o it_o and_o to_o grant_v warrant_n to_o cite_v the_o say_a earl_n and_o his_o tutor_n for_o their_o interest_n to_o compear_v before_o your_o lordship_n to_o hear_v the_o foresay_a case_n and_o question_n with_o the_o sentence_n upon_o it_o review_v and_o rectify_v or_o otherways_o to_o remit_v the_o discussion_n thereof_o to_o the_o lord_n of_o council_n and_o session_n the_o only_a proper_a judge_n of_o right_n that_o they_o may_v determine_v therein_o notwithstanding_o of_o the_o foresay_a sentence_n of_o privy_a council_n and_o as_o if_o the_o same_o have_v never_o be_v pronounce_v and_o your_o grace_n and_o lordship_n petitioner_n shall_v ever_o pray_v
